Well overall yesterday was a good day, got some BP and some fielding practice in. But i did realize that i am very rusty, although i still have my good accuracy ;)
BP was fairly average, having not played in a baseball game since HS, my timing was off but nothing alittle more practice will regain. And i will say this, whom ever played catcher as a position in baseball, I TIP MY CAP!!!!! While my friend and business partner Captain Crash was pitching, I was catching. And although I only caught about 30 balls, I can safely say my knees are now feeling the burn ;)
Pictures soon to follow!!!!

Ashton ESG 20 Year Salute
Size: 6.75 x 49 Churchill
Appearance: A great looking stogie, awesome construction. One of the best looking bands that i've ever seen on a cigar.
Pre-light: I cut this cigar using my Xicar cutter and it was a very clean cut. I took some pre-light draws, the cigar had some earthy spice to it with a small hint of wood. I ran my nose up and down the cigar, also the foot, and it revealed a deep earthy almost sweet scent on the wrapper.
Burn/Draw: The burn on the cigar was spot on through out and the draw was never a factor. Although it did start to go out but that was my fault as i was too busy talking to a friend.
Flavors: The first third of this cigar was filled with earthy flavor with a hint of spice, nothing too over powering. The majority of this cigar was like this with the spicy hints continuing to be more and more apparent. And with about 2 inch's left on the cigar, the earthy flavor gave way to the more spicy/cedar flavor. I kept smoking it though all the way until about 3/4 inch left!! IMO this cigar get alot better toward the last third or so, definitely one of a kind but nothing like a VSG. Full flavor but I would smoke a smaller size. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
THANKS MIKE D!!!!

Partagas 898
First off thanks to Mike for this great stogie. I'm glad you didn't send me the PSD4
Size: 6 3/4 x 43
Appearance: An absolutely great looking cigar. Beautiful cap on it and the wrapper had that classic cuban color to it. There were no flaws in it, a perfect cigar.
Pre-light: I ran my nose by the wrapper, and the wrapper had a nice sweet smell to it almost creamy. Clipping the stogie was easy and the pre-light draw was great and revealed a nice tangy-sweet taste....very nice.
Draw/Burn: The draw was great all the way through the cigar, and the volume of smoke was bigger and bigger as the cigar progressed. The burn was a little iffy, but nothing too serious.
Flavors: In the beginning, the cigar had a very smooth creamy flavor to it. The typical cuban flavor that i have started to grow more and more familiar with each one i smoke. Toward the middle and end of this cigar, it started to pick up some steam. I had a spicy pepper flavor but it wasn't overpowering, just enough to let me know it was there. And even with the pepper flavor, it still had the hint of creaminess in it. A real treat.

Partagas Serie D #4
Size: 4 7/8 x 50 Robusto
Appearance: A great looking cigar that screams with CUBAN GOODNESS!!! Great Looking wrapper, awesome construction and the triple cap looks perfect as always. Great clayish looking color, a typical cuban cigar.
Pre-light: Before I clipped this fine cigar, I ran my nose all around it. I had a sweet almost earthy smell to it and the foot had some spice to it. Clipping this stogie was easy and the pre-light draw was not at all tight, it was perfect.
Burn/Draw: The burn on this stogie was spot on!! I never had to do any major touch ups and the burn looked awesome (I smoked this one at night), seeing the burn at night was a real treat. The draw was outstanding all the way threw and the all the smoke that I exhaled just settled in one spot. VERY NICE!!!
Flavors: Right off the bat, I got some major spice and pepper, but nothing really all that over powering. It remain like that for about the first 5 puffs but soon after the cigar just amazed me!!!! The next inch and a half or so, the cigar took on a different flavor that almost shocked me. The cigar became smoother and a whole lot creamier, almost sweet as well. It also had a very distinct cedar flavor to it that I absolutely loved!!!!! It was pretty much the remainder of the cigar that was like this (smooth and woody almost nutty). I didn't want it to end, an excellent cigar overall that must be smoked if you have one!!!!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Casa Fuente Belicoso Fino
Size: 5.625 x 52 Belicoso
Appearance: Very nicely constructed cigar that has a kick ass band!! The wrapper was fairly smooth (alittle rough), the pointed end (torp shaped) wasn't off to the side like you would find on other cigars.
Pre-light: Since i like to moisten the tips of torpedo and belicoso sizes, i did the same to this one. It had an earthy goodness and was also accompanied by a little tangy spice. Clipping this cigar was easy thanks to the shape and the pre-light draw reveiled a great draw, the flavors consisted of spice, earth, and mixed in with some sweetness.
Burn/Draw: The burn was never a factor, it was great from the first couple of puffs, all the way till the last one. The draw was like nothing i've seen before, a BUNCH of smoke from this cigar helped me appreciate this stogie even more.
Flavors: Right off the bat, i got flavors of spice and of wood. But as the cigar progressed to about 2 inches in, I got some sweetness and the cigar became mellow to me. I even thought "Huh, this doesn't seem so tough". But as I got more and more deeper into the stogie, I started noticing the spice returning, now i thought "uh oh!!!". It became more spicy but i also got what seemed to me as sweetness with it.
Overall: A good cigar, but with a hefty price tag $25 give or take

Bolivar Royal Corona
Size: 4 7/8 x 50
Appearance: Looked like a classic cuban, beautiful wrapper and awesome color to it. No damages to it and it had no major issues. The triple cap was spot on and the foot looked like it was good enough to eat.
Pre-light: I ran my nose along the side of the wrapper and it was just heavenly. It had that sweet cuban earth aroma to it with faint hints spice. I cut this cigar with my cutter and it was fairly easy, left a nice, precise cut. The pre-light draw revealed a nice draw, alittle tight but nothing to off setting.

Draw/burn: In the first inch of this cigar the draw was manageable and the burn was pretty spot on. As the cigar progressed, the draw loosened up and the burn became alittle off but it never really bothered me.
Flavors: Right off the bat i got a load of creamy goodness with alittle of a spicy undertone. All the way through this stogie it was the same, creamy earthiness that now i can't get enough of!!!. Not to mention that it also a good supply of spiciness and it had that vegetal flavor too. A really really really good treat, anyone who loves cubans must smoke this cigar quickly!!!!
