Dimmers Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Partagas Serie D Especial tonight. Lots of earth and woody notes, packed a punch on the finish. Box may need to be put away for another yr or two.
isa Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 A Ashton vsg - no good. Then a party short - nice toasted flavour.
phoenix Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Last night (Friday) a HDM Des Dieux (PUC ABR03) - apols for the crappy pic quality. And this afternoon was a Ramon Allones Superiores (LRE MAR10) - superb! Only 2 and a bit years old, so smoooooooth! Only 2 left of this box & if I didn't have more boxes put away, I'd be fairly disappointed. Nice! X 2
headstand Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Yesterday: HDM Epi # 2 that was decent in every respect of build and burn. Smooth medium-rich flavor. Punch Punch (tubo)with a razor sharp burn, perfect draw, solid ash. A pleasure to smoke on the basis of craftsmanship alone. Medium strong and medium bodied. Milk chocolate on cold draw. Flame on! Tea and cream with occasional blasts of roast coffee beans. This is my second positive experience with Punch (first being a delicious PC). Could a more serious commitment to the brand happen in the near future? At a minimum, a few more singles are in order.
maverickdrinker Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 You got good Monte No.1's??? not sure what you mean?
phoenix Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 not sure what you mean? When you said 'Monsdale'... I thought you meant 'Monte + Lonsdale'...
Lotusguy Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Had a very nice Mag 46 from my jar last night and then cracked one of my HUHC (is that the proper acronym for H. Upmann Half Corona?) boxes which was nice but, well, a bit short.
mbrody Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Tried a Partagas P1 from a Jar I have not touched in a while. Out friggin' standing. 93 My other jar does not taste like this.
Kosh Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Yesterday was a four-cigar evening out (H. Upmann mag 46, Trinidad Reyes, Bolivar CE and a CAO Gold Karat), so tonight I'm taking it easy. An Oliva series O petit corona. Starting to mellow out after a year or so in the humi. Paired with some Guillon single malt and a glass of Fullers London Porter. Sweet.
Lotusguy Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Starting with another wonderful ERDM Demi Tasse. These things are awesome!! This particular one had a honey sweetness to it that I had never experienced in a Demi Tasse before. 2008 BD.
Ophidion Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Smoked my fresh box of chocolate wrapper mdo 2s. Amazing flavor just a little young. I'll post pictures later.
chrismfontanot Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Another plugged party short from this tau oct 11 box. 100% plug rate from this box far, this is the 3rd attempt. Moving on to a BRC that I know will have a loose draw
headstand Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 My first Genios (in the shed while waiting out a patch of bad weather). Flavor at cold: hint of tomato soup (I'm pretty sure Smithy came up with that in one of the reviews, so don't think me more of a lunatic than I am). Medium strong. Clouds of smoke. Tea with hints of chocolate cake from beginning to end. Would have been better with some evolution along the thirds.
Lotusguy Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Before the Scorpions Concert a wonderfully creamy Monte #4 with BD 2008.
LLC Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Earlier today a 2008 Boli Simones and tonight a Party short. Both very good.
Puros Y Vino Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 After 3.5 hours of yard work I treated myself to a Hamlet Corona from July 2011. (more like a Churchill the way he rolls them) . Absolute joy to smoke. Almonds, toasty tobacco, hints of bitter chocolate, nutmeg and some of that "bean" flavour I mention now and then. Paired it with a double espresso and that tamed the bitter chocolate flavours. A nice dessert cigar. Fine white ash, immaculate burn. The master delivers. Lighting the shaggy foot is always a treat.
riazp Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Smoked a gorgeous RASS tonight. My god these are good. Easily my favorite robusto in current production.
headstand Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 :perfect10: If rum could be wrapped up in leaves and smoked it would be a RAAE :perfect10:
jacktarnold Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Relaxing after remodeling all day for the nursery. T-minus 30 days until my first baby is due. Cohiba robusto box code ABR10. Still needs a little longer but still fantastic.
brazoseagle Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 2002 HU Sir Winston & Old Pulteney 21 year old.
GernBlansten Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 A Mag 46 from '09 paired with a glass of Back In Black from the 21st Amendment brewery.
Lotusguy Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Nightcap after the Scorpions concert - they still got it and they ROCKED OSU JUN 2002 BD. The dram is a Laga 16. Both deliver. All in all a great night. I am not even pissed about my wife overspending in Taiwan anymore
isa Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Yesterday, finally had a trini reyes. Starting today with a PSP2 - not good yet - very mild flavours if at all with a metallic touch - lets see how it progresses!!
