Nov 6th 2011 - Arturo Fuente Anejo

Today's cigar is the Arturo Fuente Anejo Reserva Extra No. 55 in a 6x55 vitola. The Fuente family is known for putting out only the highest quality of cigars. Hailing from the Dominican Republic with all it's fillers coming from there the Anejo features a 5-year-old Connecticut maduro wrapper aged in a cognac barrel. This cigar features a woody sweet core with hints of earth and spice on the finish. I chose this to be today's cigar because a good buddy of mine smoked one yesterday to celebrate some good things going on. He hasn't had a lot of those lately and wanted to celebrate the upswing for him by dedicating the blog to him. You know who you are brother and you'll continue to be in my thoughts and prayers...

Nov 5th 2011 - Gurkha Royal Challenge

Today’s cigar is the Gurkha Royal Challenge Robusto in a 5x55 vitola. The Royal Challenge is a new release from Gurkha this year. The Royal Challenge has fillers from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic with a Honduran Habano binder and a Connecticut shade wrapper. I can honestly say this has to be one of the most beautiful bands I’ve ever seen on a cigar. With flavors of pepper and cedar wood that help enhance the creamy buttery tones that are the core of this cigar. I chose this to be today’s cigar as it was on this day in remembrance of the victims of the shooting at Ft Hood on this day in 2009. On that day 13 were killed and 30 others injured in a senseless tragedy. I challenge us all to not forget them and their families that were left behind.

Nov 4th 2011 - Tatuaje La Casita Criolla

Today's cigar is the Tatuaje La Casita Criolla HCB Corona in a 5 1/8x42 vitola. The La Casita Criolla hails from Nicaragua with all it's tobaccos being Connecticut Broadleaf. This Maduro is a 100% American Puro. The La Casita Criolla is a great medium bodied experience with flavors of spice, cinnamon, and a chocolate sweetness that is all held together by a nutty core. This cigar is about as flavorful as they come. The term La Casita Criolla means The Little Native House in Spanish. I chose this to be today's cigar as I'm getting ready to head back to my "native house" and visit my family in a few weeks.

Nov 3rd 2011 - H. Upmann Sun Grown

Today's cigar is the H. Upmann Sun Grown Magnum in a 6x54 vitola. The H. Upmann Sun Grown label features a Sun Grown Ecuadorian wrapper with a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro binder with Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers. This cigar features great notes of classic tobacco, wood, spice and a nice sweetness to round it out and bring it all together. While the flavors stayed consistent in my experience this cigar was just impressive. I chose it to be today's cigar because I really wanted to put this cigar out there and hopefully turn a few more people onto it as I don't hear much chatter about it. If you haven't had a chance to smoke one of these and you get the chance to do it!

Nov 2nd 2011 - Alec Bradley Tempus

Today brings us the Alec Bradley Tempus Quadrum in a 5.5x55 vitola. The Quadrum version of the Tempus is the box pressed version of this cigar and in my opinion the best out of the line. This version of the Tempus features a Honduran Habano wrapper with an Indonesian binder with it's long fillers coming from Nicaragua and Honduras. The Tempus features healthy amounts of spice and with a woody earthy nutty cocoa core with a hint of a sweet finish to finish off the amazing balance this cigar always gives. I chose this to be today’s cigar because I couldn’t find anything in history to tie a cigar too and have really wanted to feature the Tempus. I really can’t say enough good things about this cigar. If you haven’t tried it it’s a must smoke!

Nov 1st 2011 - San Miguel

Today’s cigar is the San Miguel Robusto in a 5x50 vitola. San Miguel is a box pressed beauty from AJ Fernandez. San Miguel features a Ecuadorian Sun Grown Sumatra wrapper with its long fillers coming from Jamastran in Honduras and Esteli and Ometepe in Nicaragua. This cigar features a earthy core with flavors of wood, spice and a hint of coffee that come through during the whole cigar. I chose this to be today’s cigar because today is all saints day. And I couldn’t think of a better cigar than San Miguel as that is Spanish for Saint Micheal who is the field commander of God’s Army. Happy All Saints Day to all the Catholics out there!
