FOH'ers Daily Smoke

[Bram Smoker]

Celebrating the 4th with a VR XV Aniversario (LAR Oct 12)

[cfc1016]

Heard a rhythmically repeating thud while driving (for work) earlier. Sure enough there was a screw stickin out of my tire. “Great. Hopefully it’ll stay put til tomorrow when i can get it plugged” I thought. 

No such luck. Screw got thrown. Tire got flat. Drove the rest of my work shift on a donut. Fun. 

Parts stores and service shops were all closed. Of course it happens on a holiday... Had to drive to the boonies to walmart after work for a plug kit. Got back to my parents’ (where i have access to a compressor) just in time to plug my tire to the sound of deafening screaming fireworks.

Murica. 

~12 hours after this s$&;storm of a  day began, I’m finally home, clean, and enjoying a 1995 Punch Corona, courtesy of the ever benevolent @jerrybrowne . All is right in the world once again. 

1995 was the year (and right around this time of year, now that i think about it) I smoked my first cigar at the ripe delinquent age of 11. This cigar, as well as some relaxed introspection, lead to one simple summary of my feelings today. Oh, how things have changed...

Always exciting to open a box.

Just finished watching fireworks, now relaxing with an RA Superiores. It's really good so far, excellent burn and nice floral notes...

There has been a thick fog out at the beach for the last few mornings.  It gets burned off by the sun around 10 o’clock.  I smoked a Siglo VI while out for a morning stroll.

Hey Joe, yes, it was a gifted medio siglo.  OK cigar.  Not one that I would buy boxes of tbh......

My 4th of July smokes (posted a little late). RyJ Churchill and a Partagas Short

[Diabolicalpherpher]

 

HDM Churchill, last one but the first to have a good draw. Sweet, woodsy, cinnamony, and oh so creamy.  Very nice.

Post golf Cohiba PE. LUB JUN 14. Amazing burn on this thing!

A Magnum 56 in the afternoon sun with a few drinks. I find the ring gauge too much but it’s an incredible smoke

Punch DC, EBM JUN17. Surprisingly good this young, took my time and it lasted me almost 3 hours.
And a Partagas PCE to finish it off.

Montecristo Especiales No.2 LAU May 2016

Very typical Montecristo flavours of Cocoa, Coffee and Nut is evident, but what makes the Especial No.2 stand out is the cedar and vanilla finish. This was so wonderfully smooth for only a two year-old cigar, I can only see it get better in the long-term with (hopefully) the expectation of a creamy texture and mild baking spice finish.

Cohiba Robustos PTR Ago 2015

The last Cohiba Robusto I had was okay, this was superlative in comparison! It was the mild mocha coffee flavours combined with the Cohiba grass/hay, honey and vanilla that I especially loved about this Robusto. The construction was spot on too, no burn corrections, viscous quantities of smoke per draw and the ash was lengthy and consistent. I wish every Cohiba Robustos was like this one!

Rafael González Perlas 2012 (Thanks Steve!)

These came out in 2012 and was gifted to me recently by Steve. Notice the 2010 older-style band? Cuba being Cuba...nothing is wasted, as the current Rafael Gonzalez banding came out in 2012. Anyway, this came from a 5-pack and I promise you I thought it would be plugged as it was a hard as a dowel, but no, it smoked beautifully!

Cocoa, floral and honey combined with some aged baking spice, this was the third fantastic cigar I had this week. Thanks Steve!

UPE JUN 12 Cohiba Pyramided Extra 2012 LE.

Had a rough day and needed some time to myself to unwind. Haven’t had one of these in a few years but what a smooth refined cigar. Enjoying it with an Americano but may go look for some of the good stuff for the second half.

No idea of code/date. My lord, best cigar to dat for 2018? Quite possibly.

I believe I need to get several boxes. Already figuring out what to get rid of to make room in the wineador. 

Amazing
