Lotusguy Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 a few more PCs for comparison yesterday and today: RyJ Mille Fleur BPC JL PC SP Non Plus The latter three were very enjoyable, the first one was shite, as usual.
Bartolomeo Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 03 Boli Cor Xtra from cab......sucked 05 HDM Prince.....very creamy, good
Puros Y Vino Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 HMD Palmas Extra. Stiff draw. But very flavourful. Coffee, caramel, nuttiness. Towards the end of the first third....POISON! Three seams of gooey sap touched my tongue. Had to wash it out with soap practically. Pitched. PSD4 (circa 2004). Smooth, sweet as pie. Subtle, but some complexity lost IMO. These are at their peak. SLR DC. Graham cracker sweetness, tea, cedar notes, last third a bit banal. Overall very mild smoke. Not much evolution. This might either be a bad example or these need more time.
Lotusguy Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Last of the comparison sticks: RyJ PC - not bad, but nothing to write home about either.
Bartolomeo Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 PGT ABR 07 CoRo.......hello long, lost friend....this is what a CoRo should taste like, vanilla-grass with a great aftertaste......always a treat when you find a CoRo that smokes like it should
Rushman Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Yesterday was a 5 cigar day spurred on by my customer Jovan who had six! I had: PSD4 BRC BCG BRC PSD4 He had two PSP2's and count em four PSD4's We both had a few too many Bohemia cervezas and a few mojitos. I'm finally feeling better so after nubbing a CoRo, I'm lighting up a RASS. help me if Jovan shows up again! --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=20.630183,-87.069774 So after three days with Jovan on the deck I've been a averaging 4 sticks a day and somewhere north of 7 adult beverages. He has 5 nights left in PDC, lord help me. Last night had an HdM Epi 2, RASS and two PSD4's. Just finished my first today, a truly great RASS experience.
Lotusguy Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 A wonderful H Upmann # 2. Ditto! Mine was from the sampler pack that was on a recent LFTH. Clearly leagues better than the Dip #2 from the same sampler pack. Prior to that had a RyJ PC which was OK Smoking something rare now: Partagas Serie D #3 LE 2006. I wanted to post a review but it's pretty boring so why bother? Very mild for a Partagas and so far no flavor evolution from toasted tobacco. Maybe it was stored badly before I picked it up way in the back of the walk-in humidor at a shop in Barcelona (it was the last stick they had)
maverickdrinker Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 PGT ABR 07 CoRo.......hello long, lost friend....this is what a CoRo should taste like, vanilla-grass with a great aftertaste......always a treat when you find a CoRo that smokes like it should i have that box code. might have to crack that box open soon.
mk05 Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Smoked a custom blend and couple tests pipe blends from the proprietor at leavitt & pierce in cambridge out of my bang. Nice to be on vacation.
DougB Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Had an RA Extra and then an Upmann Royal Robusto (Thanks TomNJShore!) last night at a mini-herf ...having a stunning '10 PSP Sir Winnie right now. Perfect draw with just enough resistance. Really great cigar....and the Royal Robusto was fantastic.
Lotusguy Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Monte C LE 2003 - as much as it pains me to say, Ken is right about those
ramon_cojones Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Friend gifted me an excellent epicure especial, becoming my favorite hdm though not a fan of the line in general despite enjoying the 2s.

PigFish Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 3 solid smokes right there Hey mate... ever try that Cohiba CE? Opening up the box got me to smoke one myself the other day. Started cool and very mild and progressed to an exquisite, robust but sophisticated cigar. -Piggy
joshua84 Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Having a PLPC from a 2011 box on a cool night in Florence, Italy. Life is good.
ramon_cojones Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Just smoked a gifted partagas, not sure what it was will ask my buddy but was superb. Box pressed, about 40 rg x 5.5" or 6, guessing 03-05. About a 95, ******* great damn.
Strada Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 I smoked the last of a great HQ P2 box last night with my girlfriend. She had a Bol GM wich she says was ON.
Wil Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Enjoying a Siglo IV. Lots of bitter dark chocolate. Very good cigar.
Wil Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Enjoying a Siglo IV. Lots of bitter dark chocolate. Very good cigar. Just did a search and I'm surprised how little attention it gets. Best corona gorda I've had so far, although I have had limited experience with this vitola.
Lotusguy Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 In the afternoon, I had an AF Between The Lines. Looked great but didn't taste very good. Absolutely WAY overpriced! At night, dug into my newly acquired single malts with my best friend and first had a La Aurora Vintage 2003 Salomone which was great and then a Upmann Half Corona which, frankly, I don't really remember
