Knilas Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 I also had one the other day and was expecting so much more. Was pretty flat. I've heard so much about these and was so excited to crack open my cab. Hopefully it was just that stick. Luckily mine was gifted, so I'm not out a boatload of cash. Hope the rest of yours are fantastic! Think I'll stick to the Panatela and MC. Less risk, and they've never let me down. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk 1

Popular Post Akela3rd Posted March 18, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 18, 2017 Vegueros Manianita (SUE JUN 15).Nice woody, smooth and remarkably strong smoke. These have been a bit hit and miss but when they're good, they're really good. And - they don't break the bank so I can justify them as an offset against the Cohiba I've ordered...Thunder & Lightening '75-'15 6

Jimmy_jack Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 HDM Epicure Especial. Wrapper is popping a bit. Smoking good though. 3
Popular Post TheMonk Posted March 18, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 18, 2017 Finally had some time to try the huge Monte 80 (2016 box). Pretty good construction, strength was medium/medium full, but flavours are still quite muted. It will definitely improve with time, just not sure how much. 8
Popular Post Cletus Posted March 18, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 18, 2017 We're having crazy weather for the last weekend of winter. Right now its a beautiful 82°F / 28°C on the back deck. I'm thoroughly enjoying a TEB Nov '08 BCJ and seltzer. 7

1LegLance Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Dug around today and came across a box of these from DIC 12, normally I don't like big sticks but for a late afternoon cigar with a book it is treating me well. 3

awkwardPause Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 still have a box and some singles. how are they smoking? aging is favorable or not? i remember they were awesome when they came out. Surprisingly, it was one of the best cigars I've had in a long while. Aging did wonders and it was even good to start back in 2013. This was a box of the lonsdales which were pretty limited production, if I remember. In fact, I contacted Antonio Lam (the prodicer) directly to pick up a box after they were released. Wish I had more! Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
Guest Nekhyludov Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 RMU NOV 15 Trinidad Vigia. Usually one of my favorites, but burn issues caused me to bail out early. The evening was redeemed by a lovely 16-year-old Graycliff Elegante.
SteveH Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Today was a revist to a cigar I had pretty much written off: Por Larranaga Monte Carlos. When I first got them late in 2014, the box had over a year on it (Box code of May '13) and they still tasted a bit harsh and fresh. That combined with a tight draw on the three samples I burned relegated them to the bowels of my humidor. As I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my new humi (more to come on that in a different post...), I had started to go through the stock to see what would migrate over, and what would get relegated to the 2nd smaller humi downstairs (which is what is typically smoked outside during yard work, bbqs, etc). When I found these I instantly thought of tossing them in the 2nd, but figured I'd give them one more shot. WOW! Easily the most light, delicate, floral and aromatic cigars I own. The draw still sucks, but when sipped slowly they are a treat. -Steve 3

CatchNRelease Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Two cigar round of golf for me today. Both are early 2016 versions. Loved the JL #2, the rass still needs a little time down, but definitely full of flavor already 4
