Missing the outer cardboard box on these so the band is the best clue. My benefactor made his last purchases around 2002-2003 so this must be the closest I get.
mkz Posted July 22, 2017 Author Posted July 22, 2017 Cohiba Corona Especiale paired with lots of wine... Tight draw but not impossible. Full throttle with grass, honey and cedar. Ended with an almond twist. Nice! 2

Head83 Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 I can't wait to see one of those Fundadores reviewed. I have had them on my dream list forever. You might as well hit the lottery with this find

You might as well hit the lottery with this find Can't see why not... Perfect construction. Perfect draw. Thick white smoke. All way through a very pleasant and elegant smoke. Cedar, light chocolate, dried fruit. 1
Head83 Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Its so beautiful it brings a tear to my eye. Enjoy your tasting adventure!! 1
mkz Posted July 27, 2017 Author Posted July 27, 2017 Punch Punch... Another fuzzy stick up for smoking. Definitely milder than a fresh PP. Lots of dried fruit. Mostly raisins. Hints of lemon and black tea. Overall nice, but I suspect they have passed their prime with a few years. 1

mkz Posted July 28, 2017 Author Posted July 28, 2017 This one is for you @99call... ERDMGDE The box contains some funny details: Some variations in size. Fatty vs Skinny: Looks like a piece of string in one cigar but I think it's just tobacco... Going with "fatty". 1/3 Mild start. Good draw. Thick smoke. Hay. Dry roasted nuts. Some hints of green pepper emerging. 2/3 Mild to medium. More pepper and nuts. 3/3 Turned medium with mouth loads of dry nuts. Way stronger than the beginning but very pleasant. Nice finish! Very elegant 1:45 smoke. 4

I'm sure they'll all change a great deal over the next year, as they grow accustomed to you more professional conditions. Cheers for posting mate, top thread

OISS CFGOS According to NIVELACUSO "OI" should be February, but what about "SS"? CFGOS should be Quintero Cienfuegos factory. Big clouds of smoke. Strong with cedar and white pepper. Creamy chocolate sponge cake. Bloody fantastic! Cheers! 6

mkz Posted August 12, 2017 Author Posted August 12, 2017 Por Larrañaga Panetelas Small powerhouse with roasted chestnuts and dark chocolate. Impressive how much taste there is after all these years. Feels like a perfect pair with coffee. 4

Last third also offered a nice floral touch. A mild but very enjoyable smoke. 3
