cmbarton Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 48 minutes ago, JohnS said: Now...when you see guys post up a picture of smoking three at once, let it be known that, this is meant to be taken in jest. Partagas Culebras are like an under-the-radar cigar meant to be handed out to friends or best enjoyed in a social situation with others who may not be aficionados. The delight of smoking them in these situations is derived from the fact that the recipient will logically think their twisted cigar is defective, and upon smoking, will pretty much espouse how great a cigar it was and that it eclipsed all expectations. I brought out the three Culebras for myself, Trevor and my son and despite Trevor's experience with aged Cohibas, we both didn't hesitate to express our excitement in anticipation of smoking a Culebras. They so often exceed expectations, even amongst experienced cigar smokers. I most certainly would have shown my inexperience when I proceeded to light all three and smoke them all earnestly. That said, now more than ever I am sure that one of these smokable Kit-Kat bars is in my near-future! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLFIRST Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Here’s a Habano you don’t see too often: a Flor de Cano Selecto. At sixteen years old, it’s quite smooth for what is essentially a bargain Habano. The draw is very tight though. I’m not disappointed, however, but that’s probably because I didn’t have really high expectations. As a side note: 2002 was the first year that Flor de Cano went back to making these Selectos by hand. By far, one of my favorite cigars! Been too long since I've enjoyed one. I really need to rectify this! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayHabanos Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Some cigars enjoyed on a recent catch-up with [mention=1158]Trevor2118[/mention]... 1. 2010 Cohiba Robusto Buttery and brilliant! Citrus, honey, vanilla and lashings of cream but it was the pleasantness of retrohaling this cigar that made it special for me. (It was) Just so smooth! 2. 2016 Partagas Culebras If you have never had the pleasure in sharing a Partagas Culebras with a friend, make sure you rectify this as soon as you can! I don't think I can recall being disappointed by one of these unique cigars...like, ever!! Sourdough, espresso coffee, leather and pepper through the nose a little, this was a great follow-up to the aforementioned Robusto. 3. 2006 Cohiba Piramides Edicion Limitada I'd classify this cigar as complex and surprisingly on the 'punchy' side, for even though this cigar was over 10 years old, it was medium-full in strength. I guess the reason for this was because of the bitter chocolate notes that is common with limited edition releases (or probably more commonly dark chocolate). The flavours were a combination of light espresso coffee, grass, honey, citrus with a buttery texture feel on the palate after each draw, so, in other words, very distinctive of Cohiba.Or you can smoke all 3 Culebras at once like I did for my birthday!

Popular Post Puros Y Vino Posted February 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2018 Attended a Blade Runner themed herf yesterday. Our host supplied the 4K versions of both movies to enjoy as well as some snacks and beverages. And I supplied the whiskey made for the second movie. In all I smoked the following three cigars amongst good friends. First up a QdO Corona. PEL MAR 01. Simply brilliant. Just a perfect cigar. Complex. Smooth draw and surprisingly bold for a QdO and vintage cigar. Up next a PSD4 from 2002. Quite the opposite of the QdO. This was mild/medium bodied and not as complex, Still, a great performing smoke. Perhaps the Johnnie Walker affected my palate a bit. FTR, the whiskey was quite nice. It had a smooth sweetness to it. And finally a Siglo V (not sure what year. 14/15?). A good solid smoke to finish out the night. I don't have many of these around as the ones I previously had did not wow me. This was from a recent Secret Santa and while an improvement over the ones I've had. Still not box worthy for me. This was a nice treat from our host. It is bloody freezing here in Toronto. Having a nice warm indoor spot to smoke is just what the doctor ordered. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thedame007 Posted February 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2018 Tonight I smoked a H. Upmann Robusto Anejados, and it was an utter JOY - First few puffs were salty almonds, but then it settled into wood, cream, and what i can only term as demerara sugar. By the half way mark the sugar turned into a deeper, fruitier treacle, and the wood became heavier and more spicy tones came to the fore. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtfrizzy Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Definately try them. These are a regular rotation in my humidor. Perfect (timewise) for me at work on a coffee break. I love the flavour. Lots of ERDM Shortbread/biscuit flavour. You can definately see a taste/flavour link with the CS. But in a way they are same but different (If that makes sense).Yeah that makes sense. Cool I'll definatly have to give them a try. Thanks for the info.
