I dug an old one out of the humidor tonight, a Rocky Patel winter robusto from a two or three years ago. Still a nice smoke with McClelland's Highland.

I just had an assortment sampler from Thompson Cigar. Don't know what they are, where they're from, they're pretty good. Someone mentioned Rocky Patel, and they are good. Alec Bradley from Thompson are also good. But I'll tell you what. By accident, I got a free bonus pack from Thompson of a brand called "Genuine." It's by Rolando Reyes, I think it is. They are great, and not too expensive. I buy the maduro kind. Besides that, Rolanda Reyes makes a brand called "Roly," available from Thompson. They are also excellent. There's a Rolando Reyes junior and senior. Anyway, that's a very reasonably priced excellent cigar. Maybe they're only available from Thompson, because companies like their proprietary brands. This is my big "recommend" to cigar smokers. I'm talking about "Genuine" maduro as my #1 recommend, and "Roly" as #2.
I'm not sure I can classify a cigar between medium and full body. Maybe with some examples I would get the picture. I would say that Genuine maduros are medium body. Cain? Oliva Melanio? I'll look for them. What does ligero mean? Oh wait--must mean "light." But if it's worthwhile, why not? I can't afford Ashtons.
A Rocky Patel. It was good.
Today was a McClelland Navy Cavendish and coffee day.

Hopefully not too much damage to the pipe, I hope.
