I was just going to point that out. Well, who better to hit the 1000th page mark than you.

Awesome deal we hit 1000 pages on this thread! I've got some updates for the last few days. I had some really good cigars so I'll just run down the list.
1. CAO La Traviata Maduro robusto Sunday night.
2. La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor churchill Monday night with Garen.
3. RP Sun Grown torpedo also monday night with Garen.
4. DPG Cuban Classic robusto Tuesday night.

Paired the first 3 smokes with The Dalmore 12 Yr. then Tuesday night I had a glass of Glennfiddich 15 Yr. and a couple glasses of Caol Ila 12 Yr. Good weekend of cigars and drinks for me.

Today was a Padron 1964 Anniversary Torpedo... Fantastic cigar. Marked December 2008. This was a Christmas gift from my wife. I have one more, It will be difficult not to think about this one.

RP Decade. Really don't care for it

After much trial and error (and almost vomiting when I got it wrong/accidentally inhaled), I've finally learned how to retrohale on command. It seems that I get the same tastes retrohaling as I do smelling the smoke, or smacking my tongue against the roof of my mouth, just more concentrated and focused. And for those new to it - milds really are best; half the time after I retrohale with this RP Decade, I have to hold one nostril at a time shut as I blow out to purge the burning sensation :/

Anyway, enough about my new found ability that most everyone on these boards can do - the Decade, to me, is really dominant in a single flavor (I think someone called it wood?). I just don't care for this flavor very much, and in the Decade, that's the ONLY flavor I'm getting. So either my palate is gloriously unrefined (a safe bet to make), or the Decade is monotonous, or a bit of both.

At any rate, I've still got half of it to go, but since the first half hasn't been to my liking, I don't have high hopes for the second half.

Question, challenge, and always keep a fresh battery in your bullshit detector

Had a Cu-Avana Intenso Toro today. This one had about 9 months on it and it was great. Some rest seems to have mellowed the edges a bit and brought out some sweetness in the flavor. Kind of chocolaty along with the pepper. I love it when a $2 stick satisfies me this much.

Nubbed a Ccom sungrown. The extra rest has done them good.

I am the rocks of eternal shore: Crash against me and be broken!~ En Sabah Nur

Picked up a CAO Brazilia box press tonight...been wanting to try the Brazilia for a while now...nice flavours with it, the draw though was not my kinda draw, wasn't a quality issue just a tighter draw than I like and that can really put me off a stick, I'd try it another vitola though...

Had a Rocky Patel Decade, pretty good.

This cigar held the #1 spot for me for a long time. Not sure what changed, the blend or my tasted buds, but as it is still a good cigar it just doesnt do it for me anymore!

The very first one I had was amazing. None have lived up that after. They all seem to be just alright.

Had an AB Tempus on the drive home...
