Popular Post Bartolomeo Posted January 29, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2016 First third is nice sour dough, 2/3 has some sweetness and getting a little sour towards end of 2/3 showing its youth but a good blend that needs time to settle down, enjoyed it, box worthy if found for a good price 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easttide Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 2011 Upmann Connie #1. I actually smoked two of these. The first one had been at 69% for months. I removed it to a 63% last weekend then it spent the morning on the counter at 30% or so. The first third was terrible. Almost chucked it. Dry, dirty smoke. The second third was average but not good. I grabbed another out of the 69% box and it was fantastic. None of the attributes of the prior. This has now happened to me twice, both results were the same (the first bad one was dry boxed a few days). If you have these I'd be interested in knowing your thoughts though I won't be smoking any others unless they come directly out of 69%. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted January 30, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2016 Cigars I've enjoyed over the Christmas/New Year break... 1) Partagas Corona (Thanks Will). Alas, these are now gone but this was still medium to full-bodied with that leather and Partagas pepper in there (but not as much as a Serie D No.4). 2) Ramon Allones Superiores (Thanks Rob). This one just hit the spot after a long day. Stewed fruit, coffee, leather, tobacco and a little chocolate and pepper on the nose, I can't get enough of these fantastic corona gorda cigars. 3) Hoyo de Monterrey Short Hoyo Piramides EL 2011 (Thanks Alex). I had this one a wet Sydney night (December and January has been unseasonably wet this year) so the draw was a little tight but this was typical of a Limited Edition release in that it was stronger and richer in flavour than a normal mild Hoyo de Monterrey cigar. Leather, coffee, tobacco and cedar and nowhere as creamy as a standard HdM. 4) Montecristo No.2 BLP Mar 2008. An aged Montecristo No.2 that smoked well and was full of flavour, what more can one ask for? Cocoa, leather, nut, coffee, tobacco in spades, but it was only my second decent Monte No.2 in the last few months. It pays to get quality Monte No.2's and 4's! 5) Partagas Serie D No.4 (Thanks Steve). When they are 5 or 6 years old like this you know it will deliver and this certainly did as it the strength was medium to medium-full and the pepper was refined throughout. A pleasant mix of wood, leather, tobacco, cream and a hint of cocoa (with the aforementioned pepper). 6) Diplomatico No.4 (Thanks Kam). I did a detailed review on this recently as I enjoyed it so much. What a shame it's gone as it is a unique cinnamon/nutmeg and roasted nuts flavour sensation and was well-constructed too. 7) Montecristo Media Corona OPG Abr 2015. When you want a full-bodied 30 minute cigar this is the one to go for, together with the H.Upmann Half Corona. Like the Half Corona, it's full-bodied, only more like a typically Montecristo-profiled leather, tobacco, cocoa and earth offering. It's okay for a change of pace, but personally I think I'd prefer a Montecristo No.5 for the same amount of smoking time. 8) San Cristobal de La Habana El Principe EML Feb 2015. One of my 'go-to' cigars and this box code has been smoking brilliantly. I can't get enough of that sweet molasses, cocoa, coffee and spice goodness! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lotusguy Posted January 30, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2016 Wow - these are REALLY good!! Too bad I only scored a 10pack. Definitely box worthy. Like a short version of the Libertador LCDH release - rather light for a Boli. It's a Bosphorus, in case you couldn't tell. And yes, I also got my COH gift - really neat! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Highly recommended by a friend - he usually hates these (and I'm not a fan either) but he tried one from the same box at LCDH Stuttgart so I picked up a single. 2013 date code. It's as good as the best D4s I had so far but still not a 95 cigar. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
