benfica_77 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 What's the latest cigar you have tried for the first time? I tried a Monte 2 for the first time ever (typically don't smoke bigger cigars / torpedos) I was pleasantly surprised. Got lots of chocolate notes ...no spice at all and pleasantly surprised. I will definitely try more torpedos now. Sometimes we get stuck in our ways, just a friendly reminder to broaden your horizons both in Cigars and life in General! Cheers! 1
Popular Post Islandboy Posted January 28, 2019 Popular Post Posted January 28, 2019 Finally had a HU Mag 46 last week, thanks to @madandana during his recent visit. I’d been meaning to try one for the longest time, so it was absolutely perfect that Mike offered it to me. It was everything I’d read about and more...just bursting with spices and cream and graham cracker. The company was damn fine too. 5
Lomey Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Almost everything I'm trying right now is new to me. Last one was a RyJ Wide Churchill. Enjoyed it a lot.Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk 1

Guantanamera Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Tried a La Trova back in December, my near New Years Eve cigar. I had bought a box a while back and thought I'd try one. Bottom line, it was really good. Almost an H Upmann flavor profile, that kind of biscuity, ginger snap and coffee flavor. Of course it went young in the back half of the cigar, but certainly lots of promise for the future.
MC4 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Escogidos, good cigar but was too young. Before that, tried a few La Trova, and all were superb.
Lotusguy Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Mostly the new RE releases like the ERDM Petit Cayos, LGC Orgullosos, RG North Star, Dip Nortenos, SP Gran Quixote. No real misses in that lot, surprisingly. I’ve had pretty much every regular release at some point in the past. 1
ohbob976 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Tried a 2011 Bolivar coronas Gigante today. 1/3 was uneventful 2/3 was brilliant dry toasted nutty cedar explosion final third ended up getting too peppery spicy for my liking. all around enjoyable. not sure if ill try and pick up a box or not. The facts that i enjoy a good long smoke and that they are discontinued makes me want to pull the trigger on a box.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ive been on a sampling spree since getting into cubans trying everything and anything over the past two months. the JL 2 has been one of my favorites so far, was young as well. every puff from beginning to end was magic. not sure if i want to buy a young box or a box with some age on it. i saw a box for sale from 2011... decisions decisions. 2
Richard peters Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Smoked a aged Sancho Panza non plus gifted by John s who I had the pleasure of meeting along with his son George during there short stay in Orlando, Florida this past December. Cigar on the cold draw was very flavorful a strong driftwood with a hint of salt. First third to the end stayed consistent a mouthful of Rich creamy salty smoke. Flavors excelled to there best on retrohale a unique toasted Cuban tobacco. My first Sancho Panza non plus and my first review. 1 1
earthson Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 98 Sancho Panza Belicoso. Have heard for a while how well these age. I understand this was rolled with different tobacco strains, but true to form with amazing depth and seemingly years more of aging potential.
awk6898 Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Ashamed to say, but finally tried my first HUHC the other day. Temps right around freezing and a bit of outside work needed to be done. It fit the bill nicely.Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk 3

captain Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 I’ve been in a love affair with the qdo 54 for a few months now... tried the ryj wide Churchill a few months back and they are in the regular rotation. alsomtried the Trinidad viagra ?? ..mine seem a bit young but I keep going back to the box.. i really need to try some torpedos.
nKostyan Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Partagas Hananeros and H. Upmann Noellas. Not a large format and relatively high cost. But worth it. Long to smoke and very tasty, fragrant, smoke-as if you drink a caramel cocktail.
multi-useless Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Had my first PSD6 a few days ago, this one was ROTT so looking forward to trying them again after they've had some time to rest
KGM Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Por Larranaga 5ta Avenida last October. Super raw straight from the vendor's humidor, shouldn't have bothered. Only bought 5 and will not be touching the other 4 for 3+ years.
IanMcLean68 Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Thanks to @Luca, I got to try my first LGC MDO No.4 at the last Sydney meetup. Fantastic cigar! 1 1
Auspaul Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Just tried a HUHC had a couple given to me about a year ago very nice 1

Luca Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Smoked a Punch Punch for the first time recently doing the Christmas sampler reviews with @JohnS. I loved it! John did too! He looked like he was going to eat it up when he was smoking it hahaha 3
joeypots Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 I'm into my first box of HUPCs. Good cigars but not my favorite PC by a long mile.
Edward7 Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Le Hoyo De San Juan was my most recent new cigar I tried that a buddy gave me. I liked it....a bit different from the basics from HdM. I keep buying most ly the same boxes to keep in my rotation so trying new things has become a less frequent thing for me. Would like to change that up.
blakeLA Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Punch Punch 48 LCDH. Gift from a friend. Tasty cigar, with some nice cedar and cream flavors. I read some unflattering reviews of it a year or so ago and had little in the way of expectations, but enjoyed it thoroughly.
