Bob smokes: El PrimerMundo Habano Criollo Maduro Perfecto and 60x6 - I absolutely love the perfecto, I smoke it without cutting the closed foot and just lighting it and smoking through, not diffucult
Elogio LSV, from Nicaragua, sun grown oscuro wrapper, Nicaraguan puro by master blender Carlos Pareda - robust spice and slight sweetness make this on Bob's favorite daily smokes.
Cruzado Domenicos - from Nicaragua a Corona Gorda with Nicaraguan Binder and filler, a criollo rosado claro wrapper 5.6 x 46. I was left looking for the flavors that this cigar seemed to just tease from me, frustrating smoke because something about the cigar and its taste seemed to promise so much more yet it never came together leaving me wanting for flavors though not lacking quality construction.
Esencia Petite Corona -Esencia -Petite Corona-Filler/Binder/wrapper Nicaragua "5 1/8" x 42 - the size of this vitola makes it a difficult smoke for me. this size seems to really bring out the spice and pepper of the Esencia line and yet I have a tendency to smoke it too hot, my fault, not the cigars. I prefer this one with nothing at all, sitting in a peaceful location with no distractions and a clear head.
