Jeremy Festa Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Those in the blind tasting are in for an absolute treat with cigar No. 3. Of the five(?) possibilities, all can be amazing. And this is! I am having just the nicest time! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrubber Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Such a frustrating stick. The flavours are amazing. Some of the best I've ever had in an Epi 2. However, the draw is tight and I'm not getting much smoke volume so the flavours I'm getting are too light.

Lotusguy Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Ramon Allones Petit Allones RE Andorra. Picked the one with the worst wrapper damage (repaired with gum Arabic) - these have very fragile wrappers. I think I didn't give it enough time to settle after transport. Burn was uneven but the flavors were pretty good. Does the world need another Ramon Allones petit Robusto RE? Only to satisfy the collector genes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post planetary Posted April 21, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2016 Continuing my "cigars and classic movies I've never seen" series, today I paired an EML JUN 15 Partagas Maduro No. 1 with Bogie and Bacall in The Big Sleep (1946). In a recent thread on unexpectedly enjoyed cigars, Lotusguy mentioned this stick, so I grabbed one of the two singles I had resting in the humidor. I was pleasantly surprised overall, and downright shocked at the pure chocolate aroma. Do they mix crushed cacao nibs in the soil, or something? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the draw is tight and I'm not getting much smoke volume so the flavours I'm getting are too light. What a shame as the construction looks great judging by the ash. Perhaps the trusty 'skewer stick' next time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wade1979 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Siglo VI from 2014. Just a few left now and I'm already in a slow manic decline. So refined and balanced. Cohiba at its best for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the trusty 'skewer stick' next time?It was just overfilled, unfortunately. I have another in humidor which looks the same so when it is time to have it I will try dry boxing it or Rob's fridge tip and keep the skewer stuck handy too.

earthson Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 A little driftwood... I don't know if it's the power of suggestion from Rob or what, but, yes, driftwood. (The creaminess and grassiness is the real story, IMO). '13 VR Unicos. Hadn't had this vitola yet - easily the best VR vitola still in production. Very nuanced and clearly defined thirds. Manificent! Unfortunately, cannot say the same for the Bulleit 10 year I had with it. Just awful, and I typically like Bulleit offerings. OK, not awful, but I'll be sticking to the Rye from here on out.

I agree, a very under rated or I should say under the radar belicoso. Havent had a Unico in years, the few I had just were lacking in flavor and very tight draws. I went against my rule of not drinking IPA;s with cigars and had a tropical fruit bomb with a malt undertone and paired great with this stick.
