Salted cream and wood, in a word...delicious! Interestingly, both these cigars burnt along the wrapper, but thankfully there weren't any significant burn issues. The first of my boxes from 2000 finally arrived yesterday (thank god). Although it looks as if the supplier has done something pretty naughty in hodgpotching two boxes together, 15 of them being a nice sandy rosado, and 10 being claro (even bands very slightly different shades) I'm would complain, but sending them back to where they came from, would be the equivalent of dropping them into a black hole. Anyway smoked one of the rosado ones today and they were truely magical. cream, pencil shavings and quite uniquely a strong marzipan that almost bordered on blue marker pen, ketone chemical flavor. Which whilst sounding terrible, was delicious. I'll get a review in shortly 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Fugu Posted October 22, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2017 Brazilian Alonso Menéndez No.10 (from the descendants of Montecristo-founder and H.Upmann rescuer and long time co-owner Alonso). Truly nicely made stick in a Cervantes format sporting a pigtail. Great format, perfect (Cuban) draw, excellent burn. But lacking in the flavour department. Sweetish, woody toasted tobacco but not much more. No real depth, no changes during the course of the smoke, no story being told as you'd expect from a Lonsdale. Not at all unpleasant but a bit boring. It's a shame, you feel the love and passion that goes into the making of these well-priced cigars, and it is a great tragedy of history that the family, like so many others, had to flee the island. Followed by a great No.4 to keep me satisfied. At about half the crossectional area of the previous stick displaying what feels like four times the flavour intensity and complexity. It's all in the tobacco folks. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akela3rd Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Always wondered, who may be Boris - if you mind telling....He was a wedding gift from my best mate Phil and through some dark days of recovery Boris was my sounding board. He's solid, dependable, a good listener and looks good in a hat. This applies to both of them.Thunder & Lightening '75-'15 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder & Lightening '75-'15 This reminds me of a story... My uncle Henry was friends with the master stone carver of the Washington Cathedral (Washington DC, USA). His name might come to me as I type... Anyway he was renowned for carving up his friends "faces" in stone gargoyles. As a result, one of the gargoyles perched high on the cathedral bears my uncles' face. The one that I remember the best was the one that other stone carvers made of the 'old master.' He apparently had a short fuse and a bit of a temper. Additionally, he had an affinity for bowler hats. As a result they carved his face with a mushroom cloud formed above it, raising a bowler hat... Your pic of Boris reminded me of that image! Cheers! -R Had to add, trying to remember the name was killing me! https://cathedral.org/what-to-see/exterior/master-carver-gargoyle-2/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
