Quai d'Orsay No.50 - OER Jun 2021

God of Fire Serie B. Excellent.

I used to like them in cabs but overall they are boring imho. The last 10 years, even more bland.

I know you smoke a lot of vintage stuff just like I do. But I have never had much luck with stuff from '99. A few boxes here and there, I don’t think it’s the fact that its past its prime. I just don’t think they were using the best tobacco during that period. I have had stuff from early '70s, '80s and '90s up to '98. Everything is still smoking perfectly. You could try humidifying them separately in a bag. See if the humidification brings up the flavor.

Late lunch/early dinner with the fam and now a Siglo III by the fire with some Blanc de Blancs. Gen today for Valentine’s: That’s love…

As can we all. Our dear friend Ray has not been seen on our forum since the end of the last US summer. Presently, we are trying to reach out to him.

Welcome to FoH!

I put those in back of my humidor, especially the last two since I won’t be restocking those anytime soon!

How important are "Mother Factories"? I'm hearing that they blow other factories out of the water, which is a little hard for me to believe because the Siglo III is an amazing smoke to me, and supposedly it was never rolled at El Laguito.

Have a lovely weekend FOH!

HdM San Juan Trinidad Esmeralda Cohiba Esplendidos always calling out to me.

The Salomones are definitely worth consideration. The only problem is that they are rare as hen’s teeth. Never had any construction or draw issues with the Distinguidos or Salomones. Only reason I gave up on the Divinos and Exclusivos, as I truly enjoy the flavour profile of this particular marca. Now if you can get your hands on a Diadema, those were simply spectacular.

With this data, could you create a table of "Mother Factories"?

Me too and Stinky cheese.

I had high hopes for this 1999 SLR Corona, but I was severely disappointed. I got these in the mail 10 days ago and thought that was enough rest to try lighting one up. I probably should have listened to Dave the Dude and rinsed it under the sink for a few seconds! Hot air, cardboard. Not. Good. I wonder if these were improperly stored or I'm expecting too much from 25 years of age. Past their prime? I'll put them lower in the tower and rinse the next one before trying again.

I’m sorry, but what are you referring to? The cancellation?

Headed back home tomorrow. Nice smoke to finish a vacation. Back to the garage tomorrow 😁

This is just my opinion but I like the Exclusivos and Divinos. I will have to hunt down some of these as its the only Cuaba vitola I haven't had. Sometimes the little ones can be tent pegs but it is an under the radar marque for sure. I had a Solomon once. I remember liking the one I had.

Now that is just rubbing it in. You’ve got a lot of enjoyment ahead of you!

2021 N1s both flavors, BBF and Padron 64 Diplomatico.

Leyenda. @ Pineapple Valley Golf Club.

If the aroma is off putting I will stop smoking the cigar regardless of the taste. I really need both to be in sync. Sometimes in the cigar bar, someone lights up one that just overpowers all the cigars around.
