OK, keep in mind this was the last of 5 or so cigars I smoked yesterday including one of those Pepin Lanceros (thanks DD) right before hand and an ESG earlier in the day (thanks Skip) but I was a little disappointed in the cigar.  Not "I smoked a Medusa" disappointed but I certainly expected more from this stick.  It was the Robusto and it started out pretty damn good.  The problem was it NEVER moved off the original flavor profile and became a little flatter in the middle.  I'd like to believe it was my taste buds calling it quits but I can't say that I believe that.  I think Mark agreed a little bit with me but I remember last year him smoking one and loving it.  Bob (Fishhound also smoked on earlier in the day).

Anyone else have any ideas/opinions on this stick?
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

Now that's an event worthy of such a cigar!  I have one in the humi as well but haven't wanted to touch it yet.

I shared one of the 2005 Carlito Robustos with my buddy the night he got engaged.  I thought it was a great smoke.  Solid construction and I didn't have to keep re-lighting it like I have had to do with some Opus X in the past (not sure I should compare the two, but I am).  Very much a cigar for a special time to remember.
