I grabbed a Famous Value Line Honduran #200 Rothschild out of the humidor for my "drive home" smoke.  Not the worst cigar I've ever smoked, but close.  I got it in a "20 for $20" sampler from Famous back in 2011.  I don't think another 50 years of aging would have helped this Punch wanna-be.

I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

Every loaf of bread is a tragic story of a group of grains that could have become beer but didn't.

I'm trying to burn through some older cigars, so I grabbed a Tabamex Rothschild out of one of my "moocher/yardgar" humidors.  Armin (kola) had given it 3.5 stars a few years back, so I was expecting something halfway decent.  This cigar was total crap.  It had 5 years of aging so I was kind of expecting something a little on the milder, mellower side.  What I got instead was a mouthful of strong, harsh burnt charcoal and black pepper.  I tossed it short of the halfway point.

And where did Armin go?   :confused:

I smoked a Gran Habano/Rico Family Connecticut #1 Robusto that had just over 3 years' humi time on it.  Pretty decent smoke.

Those things are great, especially for the price.

I took my first Xiphos CR Short Panatella for a spin while mowing earlier today with mixed results.
