Wushy Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Pulled the trigger on a bundle of La Colmena Black Honey. I've only had 1 so far and thought it was great. Gonna try more to see if what I tasted will remain consistent as I sample more of them. Fingers crossed they do cause these are kinda pricey for the size you get... 1

I just ordered a fiver....you piqued my interest. First NC’s I’ve purchased in over a year. Positive reviews aside, I just really like the name. Sounds like something you’d get from your friendly neighborhood drug dealer in the 70’s. 1 2

Popular Post Danimalia Posted February 13, 2018 Popular Post Posted February 13, 2018 Couple of boxes of Fuente. Rosado Sungrown Magnum R 52 and Don Carlos Belicoso. I'm in love with the Rosado Sungrowns. I don't really have one favorite cigar, but if I could only smoke one cigar for the rest of my life, and I had to smoke every day, the Rosado SG might be my choice. 7

How would you compare the Rosados to the likes of Hemingway or Anejo?

I think it's more flavorful than both of those. Similar in terms of body in the sense that they're a pretty classic medium, but maybe a shade under. I guess the Anejo might be a bit on the other side of medium, but it's a completely different cigar with its Broadleaf maduro wrapper. I'm probably not the best person to ask about the Anejos, because I fnd them pleasant enough, but nothing amazing. Some similarity to the Hemingway in the sense that the Rosados are also woody and a bit nutty, but the Rosados really have that sort of tangy and leathery sweetness that I like from good Sumatra seed wrappers. If you've had the Hemingway sungrowns, or the other Fuente Sungrowns like the Chateau, the Rosado Sungrowns use a lower priming, and the wrappers are aged long-term, so there is more complexity, and a bit of a brighter flavor profile. They're supposed to be a B&M exclusive, but many of the online retailers carry them. You just have to call and order them over the phone. Very reasonably priced for what you're getting. 3
encephalization Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Fiver of Illusione Haut 10. Very nice Nek. Not to copy HW but I honestly think this was the best 2016 NC release. One of few NCs that I am happy to pay 15+ a stick for.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk 2

Popular Post Danimalia Posted February 17, 2018 Popular Post Posted February 17, 2018 Oliva Serie V Torpedo. Perfect example of a super-thick cigar that uses a figurado tip to keep it from being a jawbreaker. 6
Popular Post Hookmaker Posted February 17, 2018 Popular Post Posted February 17, 2018 Since the Davidoff W Churchill “the late hour” has become one of my favorite NC’s, I decided to go with Year of the Dog. 5

canadianbeaver Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 In Palm Springs CA. We keep finding more cigar B&M’s. Nicer and nicer each one. The one today had some sticks I have not purchased in about 8-10 years? Before we joined here and moved to Cuban only. Looking forward to this trip back down memory lane (I hope). CB 2
Popular Post TBird55 Posted February 21, 2018 Popular Post Posted February 21, 2018 This is the last full box of NC, that I have purchased. Opus X perfection #2, from 2012. Still sitting in humidor. 11 1
Cubadust Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 One of these days I really have to try out a couple of NCs. It’s a whole new territory for me though, so I’m pretty clueless what to get. Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk It’s definitely more of a crapshoot than with CC’s, IMHO....there’s a much wider ranging taste spectrum that are more extreme on both ends. The stuff members post here isn’t a bad place to start. 1

Popular Post miurajus Posted February 23, 2018 Popular Post Posted February 23, 2018 Happened upon a box of ECCJ 15th from 08. Came entirely wrapped as issued, amazing aroma opening it up (paper/outer cellophane). 8

CB That is the distinctive band of a regular production Don Carlos, one of the few AF blends I find appealing these days. A bit sweet, a bit creamy... 4
