I have apparently failed at my quest...OK I suffer from ADD, with some hyper activity, I gave up lost track or lost interest in the top 25 Cigars of 2011. So here's what I have been enjoying.
At right is the Arturo Fuente Rosado Sungrown Magnum R Vitola “Fifty-Four” this is a nice little smoke...
To the left is a Tatuaje SW Riserva I'm a huge
Tatuaje fan! Huge fan! I probably smoke more Tatuajes that any other cigar. The Black Label Petite Lancer, La Riqueza, Riserva SW, El Triunfador, and the Cabaiguan Guapos are some of my favorite cigars day in and day out. OK Pete Johnson does a great job with all of his blends.
Luis Tiant, El Tiante, a Pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, who finished his career with my NY Yankees. Recently, with his son Daniel workin alongside, El Tiante has gotten into the cigar business.
I took great pride in telling Daniel of the Day in 1979 where at Yankee Stadium El Tiante, his father, signed my glove.
At right, is the stronger of the two cigars, the Habano Oscuro.
At left is is the milder Habano Rosado...
Hard to find in the PHX (only
Fine Ash Cigars in Avondale,
The Scottsdale Cigar Club,
Goodfella's Cigar Lounge in Phoenixm, and
Mojito Cigar Lounge in Cave Creek...But its worth the effort
My favorite place to enjoy a Cigar is
Ambassador Fine Cigars recently Vartan Seferian, aka the Ambassador, opend a second location close to home. I stopped by his past Saturday, spent some time in the Embassy Club, the Private Members Club of Ambassador Fine Cigars
Ah the Cigar, at Right is a Vartan Zoravar, this cigar is made for Ambassador Fine Cigar by Davidoff. It is one of the finest cigars made today.
At Left is photo take from the seating area, the lounge boasts a full kitchen, two (2) 60" Flat Screens with Direct TV, a poker table and lockers for the Members...
Finally, we are caught up....Sunday was spent outside enjoying a beautiful Arizona afternoon watchin NASCAR, side note I can't wait until Saturday night when F1 starts, followed by the ALMS and Indy Car the following weekend.
As we know I am huge
Alec Bradley fan, from the Prensado, to the Family Blend, Black Market, and the Fine and Rate. Sundays afternoon smoke was The Tempus Maduro. Great stick, full bodied, screwed up with the beverage though should have paired it with a Negra Modelo, or even a Guiness!
I will close with a quote from my friend "the Ambassador"
"Have a Smoking Day."
A couple of month's ago I joined the West Valley Cigar Club. I finally managed to attend one of their meet-ups. Held outside on the patio, at Johnny Fox's Public House, it was a great time and I will definitely be making this part of my becoming a true Cigar Aficionado (sic). The smoke I chose for this particular evening was the Alec Bradley Black Market, which I paired with a couple of Guinness Drafts and Fish & Chips. By the way this place apparently has All You Can Eat corned beef and cabbage til 6pm every Thursday! 
Sunday, me and a few of my closest friends held a Formula One Viewing Party at Ye Olde Pipe and Tobacco in, the Biltmore Arcadia area, of Phoenix. F1 Races, once you get the past the pre-race BS, usually have a 2 hour time limit. Racing in Malaysia is always sketchy, and due to the fact that the track is in a freakin rain forrest, this one had a 50 minute red flag for a torrential downpour! My intent was to select a cigar that would last the entire race! In theory it worked! The cigar I smoked was the Padron Series Magnum Maduro, 50 x 9! 
I love cars! Yesterday while out and and about, in Scottsdale, I came across this bad boy! A Lingenfelter Corvette, with 650 HP to the rear wheels I referred to this car as Flat Black, Bad Ass and Wicked Fast
Last evening I found myself wondering aimlessly around the humidor at Ambassador Fine Cigars. The photo is ONLY half of the humidor and I was in there for a good 10 minutes. Randy popped to make sure I was OK. My response was yeah I'm just meandering. About 5 minutes after Shelly popped in and....
...handed me this, the Viaje White Label Project Candela. The White Label Project,a according to Viaje, is a series of small experimental releases that don’t fall into Andre Farkas’ various series of limited release lines. This little gem was was actually created for St. Patricks Day!
