NMJoe Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 A wonderful HQ Monte 4, that is finally living up to the hype. Now, if the Bumpus' would just keep their dog from barking postcards, it would be a perfect evening. Enjoy yours!
Bartolomeo Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 LGC Taino.....LRE DIC 09......excellent! Glad I picked these up
LLC Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Out with a few fellow FOH'ers and enjoyed a RA Extra. This one out of a different box than I have been smoking just to see how it compared. Draw, burn and flavor were all spot on. Thinking I should be stockpiling these.
phoenix Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 '04 Robaina Classico and Hirsch Small Batch Reserve Bourbon. Spiced German Stollen cake topped with cashew ice cream and maple syrup....

NMJoe Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Sosa something or other that I picked up while on vacation with the family at Disney World. I am a huge CC convert, and I must say, the flavor profile is very close to a RA Extra. The BIG difference is the post-draw harshness, but man, the stewed fruit is there in spades. Burn is great, tons of smoke...if only they could get rid of the ashtray after taste this would be a solid 90-91 for me. Again, I continue to defile myself with NCs and will wake tomorrow thinking a rodent died in my mouth overnight.
isa Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Excellent choice! Thanks Phoenix - these are smoking sooo well, great evolution
Lotusguy Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Started this morning with a RG Panetelas Extra which was decent. Picked out a HDM Coronations a/t and a Trini Fundadores from 2006 for tonight.

riazp Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 smoked a ablsolutly bloody fantastic Hamlet Robusto from 2009 gifted to me by a great member of this forum. Met up with a FoH member blotto649 from toronto. Great guy. Fun evening.
cottierm Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Beautiful day in Toronto today. I took some work with me and smoked outside a great Bolivar Corona Extra of 2010 (LAG NOV-10). Its wrapper was maduro in colour and shiny. Wonderful earthy and grassy flavours with roasted beans in the final third and a very pleasant minty aftertaste. A great reminder of the inanity of the whole 'deletion program'! Best, Michel
Kosh Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 After a great three-cigar evening yesterday (went out for a beer with an old friend and had a SLR PC, a Bolivar Tubos no 2, both from -07 and finished with an interesting NC, a Tatuaje panatela) I relax with a Montecristo no 5 from -08. Tough draw, not plugged but hard. Otherwise it delivers what you want from a Monte in spades.
Puros Y Vino Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Yesterday. 2010 Trini Rob T. Very smooth, draw was a bit tight but enjoyable. Followed it up with a VR Famoso. Not really to my liking. Smooth, but not very interesting. Of course, me dropping it prior to lighting up didn't help as it loosened the wrapper.
iGrizz Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 Alec Bradley Prensado Torpedo. Just had spaghetti carbinara for dinner and enjoying a nice cool evening on the patio.
maverickdrinker Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 A 3 cigar day to get over a tough day at the office. 07 RASCC, BHK 52 and a bolivar re Alemenia especiales tonight.
pjansen Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 An Opus X Reserva de Chateau which was good and silky smooth. Very good NC.
Lotusguy Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 ERDM PC from 2007 this afternoon and now enjoying a wonderful QdO Coronas from 2009.
brazoseagle Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 Old Pulteney 21 year old 2010 & a Boli Gold Medal.
CBL Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 Just smoked a Bolivar Corona Extra.... way too young, dryboxed it for a day but still felt a little too wet and needed some re-lights. Too bad, because I was really looking forward to having a great cigar this weekend.
tmac77 Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 multi smoke night today. HMD Des Dieux 2003.. creammmmmmmy smooooothy Hamlet Custom Robusto Extra. divine and complex Vegas Robiana Clasicos: never disappointing classic VR profile
