4th of July smokes

[Rhinoww]

Hoyo DC yesterday w a buddy. Only two years old and really nice. 
 

made some room in the Coolidor by clearing out the last stick in a Mag 50 10er from 2017. Not a lot of room, but something to celebrate. Great stick. Might need more of these. Have some tubos aging. 
 

enjoy the 4th brothers. Nice long weekend.

This is accurate.   I met a guy who blew his hand off on the 4th.

PCC Aged Trinidad Coloniales 2016. Any my first ever Coloniales. Did not disappoint folks!

A patriotic smoke and a quote from John Adams circa 1780:

"There is nothing I dread So much, as a Division of the Republick into two great Parties, each arranged under its Leader, and concerting Measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble Apprehension is to be dreaded as the greatest political Evil, under our Constitution." 

The more things change the more they remain the same...

Happy Independence Day!!!

George, ever since you turned me onto those Mag 50’s I’m in love with them. Great smokes. Enjoy your 4th with the family and good luck with the possible impending weather.

Alex Puntilla and Hemingway daiquiri. Great combo.

They’re wonderful. This is from a January 2020 bundle and already smoking great. Alex’s customs benefit from time down so I’m trying to keep my hands off them as much as possible. I had a Reynaldo Sublime yesterday from the same trip and that was ready to go—it lived up to the Vitola’s name—but this one will be much better in a couple more years.

Serie E2. From a 24:24 sixer last autumn. First time for this vitola. Definite sourdough, pepper. Enjoying with a proper Cuban mojito.

Ive really fallen for these. 

[wine65]

Pre-Birthday smoke. This one did not disappoint. The mezcal wasn’t too bad either.

[WLC]

Started off with a party D4, but pitched it before the halfway point. They are generally one of my favorites,  but this one was the tightest draw of any cigar I've ever smoked. Followed it up with a VR Famosa. Much more pleasant experience.

I've been in that Mezcal club for a while now. I love it. The only downside is it's now almost impossible to find a mezcal at the liquor store that doesn't disappoint compared to the club bottles. Great stuff.

Nice.
Mine is a 2019 I'm told.
Do you think its good to go with 2 years on it, or should I let it age more?

Only have one coming, and dont know if I'll ever be able to get more, so I want to give it its best.

Love the Coloniales. Great even if its recent production to me.
My favorite Trinidad so far, and one of my all-time favorites in general

I'd go for it after the standard 60-day acclimation period unless you're going to put it down for several years.

Enjoyed a Juan Lopez S2 yesterday afternoon and a HDM Epi2 in the evening while watching lightning and listening to the thunder. 

[inter4alia]

This box of Fundies really started to shine at the three year mark. Smoking gorgeously right now. 

[Boxer31]

Esmerelda & CoRo on Sat, Vigia in morning, Monte #1 for afternoon.  I did some fireworks, so neighbor brought over Perdomo for night.

HDM DC yesterday! Half way down the construction went haywire, but already a very good stick for being so young!
