brazoseagle Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Bolivar CG. Drinking some beer, watching the Ranger's Day Game at the Lake.
Lotusguy Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 RG Perla - yes, they DO exist (in Spain anyway) Darkest wrapper by far I have ever seen on a RG (even darker than the PSP Panetelas Extra from a recent LFTH). I wanted to post a review but unfortunately, the cigar is still too tannic and harsh - despite the JUN 11 box code. They need another year at least IMO. Right now, it tastes a lot like a Parti Shorts (loads of leather and bitter chocolate) and I am one of the few on this forum that doesn't like those.
jrb5783 Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 just finished my last final for the semester celebrating with a gift from Ophidion (Kevin)
MrDowse Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 JL Seleccion No 1 from a 25 Cab 'ABR 11'. Great medium bodied creamy smoke with hints of coffee, cedar & spice. Really enjoying the flavour profile. Draw seems a little tight but i've used punch instead of a cutter for the first time so it may down to that. It's my second from this cab and i'm enjoying it far more than the first.
esse Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 semi plugged des dieux. I almost pitched it, but I decided to give it a shot - sadly, not the worst smoke I've had haha

Lotusguy Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 3 cigar day - first a Dip #2 - meh. Then a Punch Petit Coronations that was great, and tonight my buddy and I cracked open my first box of RA Extras LE - fantastic!!
Ophidion Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 Had an ERDM CS that I got in a trade with Marker. It was damn good, then I added coffee and it became a monumental event.
Ophidion Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 JLS2 from Marker. Delicious. Like smoking a loaf of honey coated bread.
Lotusguy Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 3 cigar afternoon Trini Coloniales - good HDM Epi 2 - great Monte 4 - superb!
sighuber Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 HQ BPC with a glass of Ron Zacapa watching the sunset. Nice way to start off the weekend!
SokaKiel Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 Enjoyed the sunshine in Tokyo with two sweet smokes on the balcony, first a Bolivar 5ta Avenida followed by a JL Distinguidos. Both ER's from Germany '09 and '11 and both to be rereleased in Jars in the next few month. Doesn't make much sense to me, the Bolivar is still easily available in Boxes, seems like they're just bagging up the left overs... The JL on the other hand sold out since early this year. I'm sure there'll be a run for the JL but no big demand for the Bolivars, they've been already at the top of the range at around 20$ a Stick... Add the Jar that'll make it around 24$ a smoke Have a nice evening, Leif
rickengman Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 My first Cigar of the evening is going to be a Punch Black Prince... Too bad I only have 2 left...

I found both the Boli and the JL simply too bland and boring. The JL at least looks nice...
nikosdoc Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 Just had an HdM Epicure Special Tubo,that i brought back from havana last week. It was from a 09 box,and it hit all the right marks!!
rickengman Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 My final smoke of the day...A wonderful Custom Rolled Capa Corojo Churchill from the Dom. Rep. an outstanding Cigar. I'm sure glad I've got about 590 left...
