encephalization Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 2015 HDM Epi #2 to kickstart a great weekend. Left the office early for this! Nice! I just realized the irony as another Razorback fan to post a HdM just minutes after you. Go Hogs!

Popular Post Lotusguy Posted March 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2017 Small herf with two buddies in Germany. Not in the picture two CoSho I enjoyed later. The homemade schnapps was delicious!The Marquez is still too young but construction was A-OK. Note the bottles in the background E2. Decent. D6 - great! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellevilleMXZ Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 MC open master and a little rye whiskey. These don't seem to be popular, but I enjoyed them fresh......this one(got them 4 months ago) not so much,construction off a bit, but is getting a little better towards the end. The hazards of not finding this forum before my nov Cuba trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got gifted this by @Duxnutz and as he is a pilot, I wouldn't be surprised if he picked this vitola up that way via his travels years ago. Your welcome @JohnS I'm happy you liked it. These are indeed from cardboard packs, picked up in the UAE a long time ago. Despite not known for anything aging well in cardboard (these were removed after purchase), these are great. Around the same time I picked up many JL Piedras, well over a decade aged in cardboard that are some of the best smoking aged cigars in my inventory. The kicker is those aged brevas were around $1.50 AUD each bought as a fiver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feral Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Warped MDT lonsdale is hitting the spot for me. Thank you to the guy that recommend this a few dozen pages ago. Excellent cigar. Maybe the best NC recent production cigar I've had this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gweilgi Posted March 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2017 Woe is me, this life is but a vale of tears ... down to my last half dozen RA Eminencias ('07 RE release for Switzerland). For some reason or another, I am not the world's keenest corona smoker, but I will always make an exception for this one! A gorgeous smoke, and I genuinely regret not laying down five boxes or so when I had the chance.... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Akela3rd Posted March 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2017 Vegueros Manianita SUE JUN 15. It's 17℃ and I've broken out the sandals. I last had one of these a couple if weeks ago on a cold, rainy walk at night and it just didn't work, but today it's perfect - smooth, light and sweet. Sounds like my South African neighbours are breaking out the barbie too... so I might have to pop next door later.Thunder & Lightening '75-'15 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see if some of our crew want to come as well. I'm slowly convincing some of the guys that they should start with cigars and have turned two non smokers into cigar lovers so far.

Akela3rd Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Hamlet Tabaquero corona from Rob's on-off sampler last year. Very good indeed - quite rich, but not as strong as I remember.

Popular Post LLC Posted March 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2017 Started with a ESO OCT 12 Punch DC but between construction issues and a lack of any real flavor pitched it about a third if the way in. Had to grab something I could count on so went with a GOA SEP 15 RACA. Did not let me down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post planetary Posted March 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2017 Spring day at last! The hills are green and lush from the winter rains. Grand Edmundo. BAP NOV 10, first one out of the box of 10. The EL style seems to suit Montecristo. For those curious, that's The Expanse (season 2) on the tablet. Good show! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
