Kosh Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Relaxing after a nice day with the family and in-laws with a Partagas Serie D no 5. Pretty fresh one, likely a late -11 or a -12. Good cigar, just like its bigger brother. Paired it with a Scarecrow and some Guillon.
ramon_cojones Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 98 erdm lunch club courtesy of Bart a couple of hours ago on the patio, 75 degrees. Came out the ring swinging and got very good quick, stayed excellent throughout until I burned my fingers nubbing it. Full flavor and medium full coming out the nose this was an incredible smoke, it had an element I've not tasted in other cigars. Beautiful floral smoke and nuttiness, easy 94. Wish I had a box of these, thanks again Bart.
Zaphod42 Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Cracked open a box of '07 LGC Tainos to sample the first one from the box, but it was plugged and unsmokeable had to give up after a half inch or so. Switched to a RASS who's draw is way too loose, just one of those days.
Puros Y Vino Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Nice PSD4 out on the deck reading the paper. Gorgeous colorado wrapper. Cocoa, coffee, cedar and leather throughout. One of my favourites!
phoenix Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Disappointing box of 'aged' HDM Le Hoyo du Roi from ABR 01. 1st 4 were plugged. Finally picked one with a near perfect draw, but should have taken the hint. This cigar was uninspiring to be polite and would have been more appropriately named the Le Hoyo du "Mu"-- Mu being the Japanese word for 'nothingness'. Thank God I've got a MEL OCT 08 CoRo waiting in the wings.
DougB Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 '10 ERDM Choix Supreme on the dog walk RACF before dinner '11 BPC after dinner. It is like coffee and dessert all rolled into one.
phoenix Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Another beautiful cigar that failed to inspire. Just didn't have much under the hood.
Lotusguy Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Cracked my 50 cab of 2003 HDM Des Dieux with my best friend - awesome!!!
isa Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Had a QDO sup yesterday afternoon - was good without being spectacular.
Fii28 Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Coffee and MC Puritos yesterday afternoon, was ok......can't wait for a warmer afternoon to break out the Punch Punch tubos that's sitting paitently waiting for me to light him up
phoenix Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Morning Kona coffee with an awesome DIC 03 HDM Des Diuex...
phoenix Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Post lunch with another brilliant MAY 09 Trinidad Robusto T... Thanks, Grady!
Ophidion Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Smoked a tasty RJ short Churchill while helping my dad teach my 4 year old nephew how to fish. He caught 7 blue gills and I only caught 2. He is a better fisherman than his uncle.
DougB Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 '10 ERDM Choix Supreme- the dog-walking smoke of choice on weekends '11 Unicos- needs time '11 La Escepcion Italia. First couple of inches didnt do it for me, now it's really shining.
canadianbeaver Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Finally took the plunge and smoked one of my 2 gifted R&J Cazadores. Approached with caution since this had a rep as a cannon, but it turned out to be really good... had the taste of gingerbread and the aroma of a campfire. Did not blow my head off til the last third.
Peepers Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Two Trini Reyes. One was on the boat while fishing and I have no idea what it tasted like. The second one had been dry boxed for about 1.5 days and I sat down and enjoyed it, and it was by far the best I have had out of 8 Trini Reyes from a 12 box from early 2011.
pjansen Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 A solid ABR 11 du Prince from the Czar. Good in its youth.
phoenix Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Cohiba Genios Maduro for dinner. As long as they didn't call it "genius" I'm OK with it although I don't think I'll ever buy into to the Habanos "Maduro Propaganda Machine"
ramon_cojones Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Sparked up an 09 el lag splendi that was gorgeous followed by an 11 d4 that I accidentally sat on but was still able to smoke LOL.
Lotusguy Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 RG Perlas, by special request from Marc (mk05). Sorry to say, it still didn't wow me (just like the three I've had before). Beautiful dark and oily wrapper. Good burn this time with no touchups required. Started with bitter baking chocolate and evolved towards burned coffee. A fair bit of spiciness in the back of the throat. Still tasted green to me. Rather dry mouth feel. Got progressively more bitter and the taste stayed with me for quite a while. I didn't nub this one. This stick was no better than an 83 in my book. One or two points above the last few of these since at least the burn wasn't off. At this time, not interested in further boxes. I'd rather pick up some more aged RG Panetelas or PCs. First pic with flash, second one without.
isa Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Had a PSD4(nothing to talk abt except a lot of body) yesterday & having a PSP1 tonight - this is good , tasty as ever.
