Due to some oral surgery, I am technically not supposed to smoke a cigar for three months. It’s been one, but it’s felt like three. That counts, yes?

I would agree with that statement it's been 2 months for me after stomach surgery.  Still have not had one yet.  Shooting for Christmas

HUPC from our host.  Much needed after these past few weeks. Company I worked for sold my location and only gave us a couple weeks notice, but I got the offer I was hoping for yesterday. I will have to smoke something special to celebrate with in a week or two after I start.

Clearance Connie A that I drunkenly bought on 24:24 a few months back that finally hit the 30 day mark. 

Holy shit, these things need absolutely no down time...she’s firing on all cylinders! It’s surprisingly better than a 5 pack of ‘13 Connie A’s that I bought from a buddy.

Jimmy’s not looking so impressed!

Generous to pass that cigar, nice work whoever gave it.

1. H. Upmann Connoisseur No.1 ROA Jun 2011 (thanks @ayepatz!)

Thank you ayepatz for gifting me this aged H.Upmann Connoisseur No.1! This smoked exactly as I thought it would, it's at the point where the espresso coffee flavour is receding and the shortbread and cream is building. If you give it another 3 years, then I envisage it would be shortbread and cream from start to finish. Around the middle point of the cigar the white pepper and toasted tobacco started to take over which gave it a nice complexity for me. Great smoke from start to finish!

2. Trinidad Ingenios 2007 - Edición Limitada OUR Dic 2007 (thank you again, @ayepatz!)

The Trinidad Ingenios 2007 Limited Edition has been noted as one of the worst-rated Limited Editions upon release on our forum. The irony is that after around 7 years, these started to wake up out of their bland cacophany. You see, Trinidad is a somewhat complex marca, it's difficult at times to nail down the myriad flavours in their vitolas, but they do share a coffee, hay and sweetness that sings when you smoke it!

This Ingenios was gifted to my by ayepatz (thank you mate!), and I must emphasise just how good this lonsdale was. It started off as all chocolate and coffee, like many a limited edition cigar, but along its spine was an aged baking spice which pulled me in. In the middle third there were notes of wood, cream which intensified in the final third, with stronger herbal flavours and leather. Wow, what a beautiful complex smoke and what a joy it was to nub!

I still have almost 5 boxes of the 2011 H.Upmann Connoisseur No.1 in my Humidor and I only smoke them on special occasions because they have been my favorite cigar.  I agree they are a Great smoke from start to finish.

1. Montecristo No.4 NNSL-VC-1 (circa November 1995 - thanks @IanMcLean68!)

Gifted by Ian (thank you!), this 1995 Montecristo No.4 embodied what is great about our community, namely, generosity, fraternity and the joy of aged, fine cigars! Fuzz was also gifted a cigar from this box and he described it as (aged) baking spice and floral in the first half, with walnut and anise in the back half. I think this is quite an apt description of the flavours, perhaps I would add that there was a light dusting of cocoa at times. I took satisfaction in nubbing this! 

2. Por Larrañaga Montecarlos TOS Mar 2017

This cigar represents half the box smoked in 4 months, so one could say that I've very much enjoyed them. This was more toast and coffee, with caramel shining lilting in and out, there wasn't any real honey-type sweetness though. No matter, I loved the flavours until the very end, upon which I resolved myself to re-organise my humidor and hide the rest of the box at the bottom of it so that I can try one again in the long-term future!

3. San Cristóbal de La Habana El Príncipe TOS May 2016

This cigar was a great way to end a great night at a Japanese Restaurant with some other Sydney FoH members. Cocoa, coffee and molasses and perhaps surprisingly, no spice. I do believe it may be time to re-stock this soon!
