Kristoff maduro from the premium cigar pass. 
Very good cigar, I will be picking up a few more of these. Only downside to smoking it this evening was that it got frikkin cold out, around 45 degrees so I had to fight off a few shivers.

I'll apologize right now to Slavac and Woden for the photo quality, but I only had a cellphone. Nub Camaroon and a windy afternoon with the boy at the playground. I have a couple of boxes of these little numbers and I love the flavors. They start with a spicy bang, then keep a wonderful smoked meat taste throughout with earthy mushrooms overtones. The draw is easy and flawlessly even, not many veins [on really any that I've had] and even a light puff is enough to fill your mouth and leave a wonderful currant flavor on the inside of the cheeks. The middle third is wholly a beef flavor when I hold the cigar at the top of my mouth and draw the smoke in and across the roof. I like to accept light puffs on strong monsters like these and it's easy to maintain with such a cool and easy draw. The ash wanted to hang on for the first inch-and-a-half but was hindering the burn, so it had to go. It was such a pretty stack of nickels too. The last quarter was just as fine as the first, lots of light grey smoke from light puffs (even after I dropped it while playing tag) and the currant flavor gives way to a wonderful and clean smoked cherry taste. That dark bitter cherry flavor at the end drives me wild and it's usually joined by a light peppery tinge at the top-back of the mouth on the retro. I normally smoke these all the way down to about a half-inch and this one was no exception to the rule. The best thing about this smoke was the fact that I had two other fathers drooling while they watched. I had two bowls of chili and some water before I lit this booger. I think it would pair well with dark red wines, rare steaks or Texas-style barbecue. I'm dying to try one after a recipe I found for steak with black raspberries. As always, your mileage may vary.  |

That said, I really don't care for that cigar. The maduro is better (IMO) with the Cain Nub being the best of the Nub Line. Last night: 2 Benchmade Gordos G2 Turbo 2 Famous Nic 3000's B&A Entubar The Entubar was the last cigar at something like 3AM. What a perfect nightcap. |

Just saying put them all in one thread so people can take a look at them and don't have to hunt for them in this thread. They're pretty damn good, especially the photography. |

Benchmade & camacho havana. Both excellent smokes, quite suprised with the benchmade I was drinking large amouts of miller out of a can while working at my hunting camp & these helped.
Famous 3000 w/ some Harpoon Octoberfest to finish the night
Camacho day coming up today though

I bought these because they were on sale. |

AF Rosada S/G Magnum.  First time having one of these. I really enjoyed it. The new band caught my eye, and I had to try one. Well constructed, nice even burn. Tastes of leather and cedar, with a bit of pepper. Medium strength cigar overall. At half the price of a Don Carlos, this will make a great everyday cigar. |
