Cigars

This list, in order from from the first cigar I ever smoked (top of list) to most recent (bottom of list). My palette and ratings have changed, and there are many many others that I forgot to add to the list.

I will greatly appreciate any suggestions here.

  1. Caldwell Pacific Standard 2014 - 4/5 loved it. Smooth and no bad flavor.
  2. Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Connecticut - 3.5/5 solid stogie. Grew on me as I smoked it. Heavier smoke.
