Bc I'm drunk and it was a few hours ago, and I took the label off naturally before I smoked it.

I usually smoke 5 Vegas A series or rocky Patels, so I tried this sampler pack from cigar international.com. It had like 12 different brands in it. It was cool to try out different sticks but I'm probably gonna stick with what I know from now on

Was it really dark (maduro) or a much rich brown?

No it wasn't a maduro. Medium-type blend. Not too dark but not too light

Vegas is not terribly good. Rocky makes a good stick, but nothing too adventurous.
CI samplers are hit and miss. Do yourself a favor and go to a decent cigar shop and shoot the shite with the tobacconist. Let him steer you to some good sticks.
For a inexpensive good cigar, try CLE and Berger argenti. Both are very good and about 5-7 bucks a pop.

It really was. Very smooth and had a nice full puff. Didn't overheat either.
I've only been smoking cigars "regularly" for about a year now and I'm not an expert, but I know a good one when I'm smoking it.
Thanks for the ID on the cigar

I would've guessed a Serie N.
Oh well. The Serie R is my current fave.

Thanks man
I do go by the Cigar Merchant here in Lafayette every now and then. Last time I was there though he recommended some Acid cigars and I was not a big fan.

La Gloria is underrated IMO. I love the serie N. the R is a great ligero.

frick that guy. I am a huge Drew Eatates guy because of the Liga Privada (favorite cigar of all time) but infused cigars are trash. Sorta like mixing scotch with coke, WTF?
If you get down to NOLA, go to Don Juan in Meraire. The guys there are very knowledgeable. Mayan on magazine has a great humidor but the girls there really don't know much.

Didn't smoke one tonight, but I have a Padron 1926 Maduro, Gurkha Evil, La Aroma D'Cuba, and a few others lined up for this weekend  Pumped about my Padron.

I really enjoyed some Marlboro lights tonight.
I really need to get another job next semester.

Light em up guys!
Enjoyed the Liga Privada then moved to the Litto Gomez and, WOW, what a great smoke! It is pricey, but quite possibly the best smoke I've enjoyed in a while.
Tonight, the La Flor double ligero. Fabulous full bodied smoke on this drizzling eve.
