Joshtupps Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Another two smoke evening for me! A Bolivar Incenses from '07, it was a great smoke but I had real draw issues with it! I shall have to have another one @Sunsmoke! Then I ended up dragging a Grand Edmundo out of storage from a LAG OCT-10 box! Hope you are all well! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxavier1979 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Had this Epi2 last night for the first time and was just amazed by how beautiful and complex the flavors were while still maintaining a medium body. I think that what impresses me most about a good CC is the ability to give you such smooth yet rich and complex flavors that pair beautifully with something like a Pinot Noir or any med-bodied Red and not overpower your palate at the end of it. 2 hours later and no aftertaste in my mouth. Super impressed with the HdM Epi2. Glad I ordered a box last week before trying this one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohn007 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Slightly aged Cohiba Siglo VI OBA FEB 12. Still needs some time. Should have smoked the 2008 instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are pretty good fresh but give them time and the Hoyo cream really comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was from Rob's New to Cubans Sampler pack so I can't say for sure. I'd guess maybe a 15 or 16 cigar. 26 minutes ago, Bohn007 said: They are pretty good fresh but give them time and the Hoyo cream really comes out. That's what I hear. I just ordered a box that I'm splitting with a buddy, but if they taste anything like this one did, I'll have to order another one soon to hold me over while the others rest.

Sounds like you are hooked and the only remedy is if your loved ones start hiding your credit cards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lotusguy Posted November 7, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2016 Nice get together in Stuttgart. And yes, I smoked a Shorts The absolute highlight was the 1998 (I think - it was a gift) ERDM Tainos. Definitely one of the best smokes I had this year. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could blast it with a jet lighter for 3-5 seconds and still not get it to flame up; never seen anything like it. Thick, leathery, wrapper is all I can say. This only being a box of ten, let's hope it doesn't have another dud. Oh and, first RA, so not a great first impression...

Not sure how much time you gave it to acclimate or what Rh you have stored them at but mine have been wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I didn't respond the first time. 40 days to acclimate, conditions have worked well so far, so let's just chalk it up as a dud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethosan Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Partagas D4, decent but no regius orchant selection(the Nicaraguan D4) I find D4's need good age on them before they really hit their stride. This one was from late 15, it needed a few more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
