isa Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Received a box of Party shorts yesterday - PLU oct 11, i think. Looks were great. Lighted up one in the evening - there was a slight harshness here & there, but overall an excellent smoke. From toasted, coffee, to dried fruits sweetness, what a wonderful journey
isa Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Today, its a BPC - medium, full in the last third, reasonable flavours - not the best i have smoked, but enjoyable
Bartolomeo Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Another excellent 09 choix. Good to hear I prefer aged Choix Do you have a preference?
Puros Y Vino Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 2009 CoRo. Earthy, touch of coffee..tannic finish. Immaculate burn and smooth draw. A nice treat on a great day in Toronto.
ramon_cojones Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Good to hear I prefer aged Choix Do you have a preference? Bart, these are my buddies that he's been sharing with me since last year when he cracked the box. They were actually nicely constructed for what they were and had a nice satin sheen on them. Lower end of medium body when we first started smoking them and they've gotten better in the past 9 months. He only has a few left but I was pretty impressed as I wasn't expecting much. So to answer your question I can't say that I'ved smoked them real fresh and it seemed like trinidad in the sense that it wouldn't get much better over time but I feel it has more character in actuality and has aged though not dramatically. It doesn't have the legs to be an outstanding smoke but it is good at what it does and that's a change of pace smoke that doesn't take too much out of you like a rass or d4. Incidentally I gave him an el laguito 08 cce that was outstanding for his generosity, it was really hard parting with it LOL!
pjansen Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Box of BPC OGA NOV 11 arrived today decided to smoke one for a benchmark and burned perfectly and only slight signs of youth. Followed up by an Illusione Epernay. Good day

You are a good friend for that trade and thanks for responding ERDM is one of a handful of brands I prefer some age on them
maverickdrinker Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 04 cohiba siglo II today on the deck. Nice to be able to smoke comfortably outside again.
ramon_cojones Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 You are a good friend for that trade and thanks for responding ERDM is one of a handful of brands I prefer some age on them I've only ever smoked the cs and one regional that I posted a month ago or so that I enjoyed. The consistency of these cs that he has is very good and better than my current 09 rass which is only really good on the second third, first and third not so much. I've had better luck with cohibas than with d4s and rass lol. What else can you recommend erdm, I will check out.
Ophidion Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Smoking an 09 BGM. Pretty damn tasty and better than the 07s I had last year.
jrb5783 Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Brick house 6x60 its a huge stick nice sweet flavor
Lotusguy Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Mini-herf with a few BOTLs in the Houston area tonight - thanks for coming out, guys, and making me feel like home Had a fantastic RG Panetelas Extra (PSP) which was so dark that it seemed like it was dipped in dark chocolate, then a Monte Edmundo which was great as always, and finally a RG Superiores that hit the spot. Great evening!

mk05 Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 aged erdm panatela are unreal. today i got out early and smoked a Partagas super partagas, ryj coronita en cedro, and a hdm du prince. when aged, these cigars cannot be beat.
Kosh Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Relaxing after a full Friday with a Punch Punch from a -07 box. Lots of leather and salt. Weird. Paired with a Bishop's Finger and a dram of *****: Whisky from the barrel.
bacalao Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Mini-herf with a few BOTLs in the Houston area tonight - thanks for coming out, guys, and making me feel like home Had a fantastic RG Panetelas Extra (PSP) which was so dark that it seemed like it was dipped in dark chocolate, then a Monte Edmundo which was great as always, and finally a RG Superiores that hit the spot. Great evening! Had a great time with you, Allen and Brent last night. Dragging ass after only three hours of sleep before work. I forget I'm not that young anymore. Smoked a great Partagas 898, Mag 46,and a Boli PC and a few cerveza. Hope you made it back to Cali ok.
riazp Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Custom Rolled Pyramid given to me by Hans, damn good. better than any monte 2 ive smoked
mk05 Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Smoked a Trinidad Robusto Extra OR from 2004 with Yoruba Hacker tonight. Oh HSA, how much I despise you.
isa Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Smoking a Cohiba CE HQ from czar - oily, smelly - coffee, cream, pepper, sweet spice & some rich aroma - medium body (got a bit fuller in the middle, then dropped back to medium) - wonderful
isa Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 A PSD4 now , watching a game of cricket, post dinner. Some pepper, touch of sweet spices - good start
Kosh Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Relaxing with a RyJ Wide Churchill. This one is nice, but so far I'm missing the cherries that I am looking for in the WC. But it is still a good cigar, despite being young (-10). Sitting on my balcony with a glass of something good (check), smoking a good cigar (check) is definitely one of the better ways of winding down.
LLC Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Had a great Sig VI yesterday with an americano and then mojito.
