Romeo y Julieta Churchill (GEL JUN20).

ABO DIC18 Hoyo de Monterrey - Le Hoyo de Rio Seco

Continuing the UK vacation and enjoying a Diplómaticos No. 2 (BRM MAY25) at James J. Fox.

P2 - XLB MAY 05 NC

Smoked this beauty last night

2008 RA Grandes

Super tasty

Finally tried a Turquinos. Extremely tasty.

My first La Trova. Starting beautifully, I'm glad I waited. Very reminiscent of Fundi but a pop more twang in the nose.

Toscano n°10 extra vecchio. Smokey and rich. Caliqueño La Campana. Bready, smooth. Partagas Aristocrats '23. Drier smoke than other similar partagas vitolas but pretty good nonetheless.

Super aromatic RASS, helped me digest the sirloin steak I had for lunch. 😋

Sancho Panza Belicoso (MGL DIC19).

10y and still kicking. Revisiting classics. Have a solid week y’all.

Piramides Extra - LGR AGO 17

Checking in on these 2016 Siglo III in tubes. Only the second one I have sampled. Very nice start. So good to have NFL back on.

RG Panetelas Extra SAE DIC 2023 My best one of these yet. It was very enjoyable giving notes much like the RG Perlas. So it was a pleasant surprise for what it is considering the price point / short filler.

‘09 Hoyo Epi 2 A/T - blast of baking spice straight away, copious smoke, clover honey, cinnamon & cedar. I try not to smoke these this young as they are glorious after two decades but I don’t have any tubos that old so decided to spark this one up. This one was strong! Maybe I’ve forgotten how strong younger Epi2’s are. So creamy. Hoyos are almost unmatched when it comes to sweet cream flavors. I love a cigar that demands retro on every draw.

Mag 50 on course (no rain here for a while, greens are nice but rest of course is fried). I cut it too close and it messed up the burn. Still enjoyed it, but it became unsmokable after about 6 holes, due to my ineptitude. Clip with care the cigars you love...don’t be an idiot like me.

Puffed on H. Upmann No. 2 MEG MAR 16 from the CC gifts that @joejack11 and @cliff sent to me several years ago at today's herf session with @LaoFan. H. Upmann is one of my most favourite CC marcas and this classic Pyramid also doesn't disappoint me. It starts with the signature H. Upmann wood and leather bomb like Connie A and HUHC at the beginning, then transitions into cinnamon, chocolate, chestnut, Punch 8-9-8ish nut, cedar, and more flavour notes through out the end (reminds me of Keemun black tea). It didn't stay lit due to being stored at high humidity for years (I used to use Boveda 65% for cigar storage until last July), but thanks to 9 years of ageing, this Cuban Piramide not only showed its full potential but also met my expectation without being harsh or bitter that made me to smoke it to nub. Even better, spending time together with fellow FOH BOTL makes this unique aged cigar experience more special than ever! By the way, that H. Upmann No. 2 has some floral note which I've never experienced with other H. Upman cigars in the past (I guess the years of ageing played the major role).

Idiotic measures.. In light of all the US tariff uncertainty we've got to make the best of what we got. So I set out to answer a question that literally nobody was asking. Do four Cohiba Shorts equal a full-size vitola??? Nothing a bit of creativity and gar glue can't determine. In terms of tobacco volume this Cigarts-and-crafts masterpiece is roughly equivalent to a Cohiba Piramides Extra!! Talk about value! 4 Cohiba shorts X 83mm X 26 ring = 8632 Tobacco volume units 1 Cohiba Piramides Extra X 16omm X 54 ring = 8640 Tobacco Volume Units Math is math-ing and it should be a solid match! Light and first draw are surprisingly decent although conforming one's lips to the quad-tubular arrangement makes getting a consistent draw a bit challenging. By the halfway point she's starting to burn a little hot. The awkward draw notwithstanding, until this point it's a fairly okay smoke. Strangely, the burn is WILDLY uneven... Into the 3/4 mark it's getting even hotter and the flavor is turning a bit acrid. Maybe it's all the cigar glue?? How many brain cells is this costing me? We press on. Shortly after removing the custom band, I decide to give up on this abomination. I can state definitively that the Cohiba short is best enjoyed in a single-stick configuration. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

'24 Partagas P2 before the LSU game last night. Smoked great even young.

2013 Coro to unwind after work on Friday.

Been feeling under the weather and haven't had any cigars the past week+. Testing the waters with a 2018 Party Short.

'24 Cuaba Tradicionales. Just as good as the Divinos.

AMBAR - ETA ENE 24

The weather in SE Florida is starting to give some signs that the seasons are about to shift but still too warm to open the house up and smoke prominentes on the couch in front of the TV like a civilized human. But I actually like the peace and quiet of the garage.

Siglo II this morning with coffee, it was really good, could have used some more age but I just can't wait forever!

A Partagas D4 SOU JUN 2020 this morning that was oily and punching pretty hard. An Esplindidos GEL DIC 2020 that's sweet and grassy. A 95-96 pointer.

Been a minute. Work has taken over.

Nice lunch break at work today...having a magnificent stretch of weather in Alberta.
