A truly cigar and fun packed day, yesterday. And no, there's no "hidden closet" here - just good old dirty fun ... Drove up to Cologne for half a day of smoking fine cigars with my old Belgian buddy-"lover" Frank at Pitter Heinrich's Casa. We started with 70/80's vintage Cuban Davidoffs, Chateau Haut Brion, courtesy of Andy Ryan/Rob Fox in Havana last month. A nice cigar that left my palate dry. Next was a custom rolled Lancero courtesy of Hannes, also from Havana last month, with a very special blend that included Medio Tiempo. Like the ones I smoked with Hannes in Havana, a very impressive cigar, full bodied, creamy and very aromatic but the last third left both Frank an me quite dizzy. Nevertheless we'd love to get our hands on a couple of full wheels of this cigar .... Time to have a light dinner. Back at the lounge we ended our Cologne rendezvous with the Cohiba Majestuosos from the Gala auction humidor.

As to the cigar : Andreas shares my and Frank's opinion that it is a very good cigar, almost impressive, but nothing to get excited about. Very mild, grassy with no evident development in its progress. Also, not much hope on further aging improvement as we see it. Well, what can I say, just happy I didn't have to pay the sticker price for it ... The Claret was a bit on the plum side with slight aromas of Portuguese cork so we didn't finish it and decided it should make for a good sauce. The Bowmore malt though was excellent and good medicine for my sore throat. For text and Pictures : http://flyingcigar.de/startseite/cohiba-majestuosos-with-andreas/
