ABR despite being an abbreviation for April in Spanish, was an actual Factory code in 2011 and 12. Sancho Panza boxes were also rolled at that factory in those years.

Great Sancho Panza there:blink:

I'm afraid I am going to have to politely insist. What exactly are you meaning by your response in regards to Sancho Panza?

"Waffles and syrup" registers on my palate as malt and sugar sweetness. These will need to rest for a while; I smoked one ROTT and it was, predictably, pretty rough. I wouldn't expect them to need any particular aging beyond the 90 days of acclimation though. 

Here are my notes on a recent production single I picked up last summer:

It lights readily and produces an even burn and a flaky gray ash. Right away, there's a rich leather and sea salt profile, with just a bit of a malty note, and a toasted aroma.

The depth of the leather profile deepens in the second half and the malty note recurs in the aroma. At this stage, the flavors are deepening and becoming richer, but not necessarily evolving.

The profile continues apace, still with not much change in the flavors, but it does finish with just a hint of candy sweetness.

RASCC ULA JUN 15. Smoked one ROTT. Complex and subtle. Nuts, leather, wood, meat, pepper. Everything is there but it’s all subtly represented. Interested to see how they do with some rest in the humi.

Meat? What meat exactly? Are we talking bloody steak, rich humming pork or clean wholesome chicken? Or did you just spark up after prepping dinner?

Sancho Esplendido? Why yes, please.

 

The SP Coronas Gigantes was a Julieta No.2. I managed to find a box last year, and they are glorious.

I second your proposal. ?
