Por Larranaga Lancero?
You Cigar Snob you.

Probably one of the quintessential robustos in all of the world. It starts out as a spice bomb and settles down into woodsy sweet spice and builds up in power. It finishes with complex flavors that are balanced and lightly spicy. I can't say enough for this one. It is enough to say that I smoked it until there was nearly no more. [huh]

Paired with a Feckin Irish Whisky, it was a perfect after dinner smoke.
I am a happy camper. What can I say?
Mr. Paladin said:James, those are indeed superb cigars. Several years ago, I obtained a box and loved every one of them. You gotta be a happy camper with those smokes and a great Irish whiskey. Very good eval on the "D", by the way.
Last night I had a Padilla Hybrid.
They are indeed good. My brother-in-law started me on them. Of course a free cigar is always better tasting but this transcends that. 
Campdraft, no tie.jamespowers said:The Montecarlo is sort of a lancero size at 6 1/4" x 33 ring guage. You need to try a box.
Did they picture you in that hat with the blue shirt and tie combo?

What is a Padilla Hybrid?
) and it is good. I prefer John Powers to all the other Irish whiskeys because I think it has the classic copper pot still taste with the oily perfume that makes Irish so nice.

A Padilla Hybrid is made by Ernesto Padilla and is one of his lower priced cigars. I seldom smoke an expensive one at work because there is too much chance of having to toss it for a call. I get them from CI or Cigarbid.com. Nothing fancy; just a good straightforward tobacco taste with a good burn and lots of smoke.
Last night I had a La Viejo Habana "Leather Patch" torpedo. Got a five pack reasonably on a bid. Not bad-not great.
Powers is also decent. I am glad you like my namesake.
