Juan Lopez 2 - I've never been a big fan of these young. We'll give it a shot though since the newer cigars are supposed to be more approachable.  Nice rosado wrapper. Fairly open cold draw.

Juan Lopez No. 2, these have been top 5 for me 22/23 production. Im assuming this is a ‘24. Cold Draw: I had a few beers and some scotch before this cigar it may have dampened my taste, I didn’t

Monte 1 - one of my favorite cigars Firm draw on the pre light. Opened with a smooth, even draw and perfect burn. Classic Monte notes of dry baker’s chocolate and a hint of roasted coffee bean. U

Notes: the initial puffs where all bitter dark chocolate. No partagas dna at all. I definitely get a breadiness undertone. Not many changes during the progression.

The Partagas Maduro line has zero Partagas DNA in my mind. Similar in that respect to the Cohiba Maduro 5 line. 

In the case of both, I have found that the general member consensus is that you either love them or hate them. ;)

I didn’t hate it, I just was wanting more. A few months of rest may have helped.

I also smoked the Epi 3 last night. My first time having one and it was fantastic. Didn’t smoke it with a review in mind, so this won’t be too thorough. I was concerned it would be a wind tunnel on the light, but the draw firmed up very nicely after about half an inch (or some odd amount of MMs for the non-yanks out there).

Opening 1/3 was a solid medium with smooth creamy/woodsy flavors. 2nd and 3rd ramped up to a more medium full body with less sweetness. Fully agreed that this is my favorite of the Epi line and will definitely grab a box. 

Didn’t take a pic of the cigar, as I wasn’t planning a review, but I did happen to snap a photo of what I paired it with:

I know…you’re all shocked. 

How is that tequila?

Excellent. One of the finer blancos. I’ll put it right behind the Uno, Platinum, and Ocho, in that order.

First 1/3 reminded me of those Connecticut wrapper DR cigars which give my palate cardboard and bitterness.

I had the same experience with my 12DOC Epi 3. The first third was very bland.
