4th of July smokes

[smbauerllc]

Anyone else planning to smoke something special for the 4th?

 

What Cigar are you planning?

 

For me its a 2012 Cohiba Esplendidos I was generously gifted months ago and have been saving for something special.

 

Will be my first ever Esplendidos, and a nicely aged one at that, so it will be a very good choice to celebrate with.

Not quite on your level, but I’ve got a box of 2019 Connie A’s I’ve been avoiding at all costs. Will celebrate freedom with one of those.

[Chibearsv]

Coloniales of course!  And many more. 😁

[StogieSteve23]

Yes, but not sure yet. Definitely something special though.

You won’t regret this purchase. Outstanding cigar. I’m looking forward to your review of this wonderful stick. My prediction, once you taste the flavors and transitions of this cigar, you’ll be “hunting them down” on 24:24.

These are 2 hours of pure pleasure for me. From your posts, I believe you are also a “slow smoker”. So find yourself 2 hours of interrupted time to just revel in the pleasure of a beautifully hand-crafted Cuban cigar. In this busy world that we live in, finding a couple hours of relaxation is a blessing.

Nice.
Really enjoy them.
They are one of a very few really skinny smokes I buy.

[Greenhorn2]

Since I am lucky enough to have the fourth off for once in several years, it's going to be a double corona. Haven't decided on the flavor yet.

I just smoked mine.  I woke up early so I decided to get my coffee and sit on a bench in town and smoke it there before town got too crowded.

Then this happened...

The East Hampton life guards ran by.  Hope the smoke didn't bother them too much.

Nice.
Saving my Esplendidos for this evening to be sure I allow enough time for it as it seems to be a roughly two hour smoke for most people

Casa Cuba Divine Inspiration

Pretty tasty. For some reason had some of the unique taste I only get from 10+ year old and Vintage cigars.

Also fairly mild and mellow overall

Perfect draw, burn and construction



Padilla 88 Anniversario Robusto Box Pressed

Very tasty and very smooth.

Great burn, draw and construction

 

DPG My Father Flor de las Antillas Belicoso

Pretty good, but just didn't quite do it for me, so didn't make my bookmarks of nc's to buy again.

Excellent burn,draw and construction though

Not a bad smoke, just nothing special

 

'14 Montecristo No.4

Excellent taste and perfect draw,burn and construction.

Love these young, but 7 years made this one perfect.

2019 CoRo for morning golf in the heat.  It was better than my game.  My buddies and I played as a 3-some 2 weeks ago and today at 2 different courses not very close to each other.  We were matched up with a single both times and it was the same old guy both times.  Very strange and my one friend shot 77 both times.  He took down the dudes phone number to make sure he's with us next time too.  Pretty funny.

2020 CCE with my smoking buddy. Just my 2nd CCE, definitely needs more time

Nice.
The 2019 and 2020 CoRos I've had have been great.
Last one was a 2021 and it was just really flat and flavorless.
Hoping the other one is better.

Will be ordering some more in a couple months, and hopefully they'll be a little older stock this time just in case.

May try using a different vendor this time too to hopefully get some a couple years older.
