Popular Post JohnS Posted October 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2018 1. Diplomáticos No.2 LGR Abr 2018 Yes it was very young, but I had to have one 'right-off-the-truck', as they say. My, oh my, this was really enjoyable in regards to flavours. The combination of sourdough, capsicum and paprika spice melded nicely to make for a great cigar to end a busy working week. 2. Montecristo No.2 UTL Mar 2018 This was okay, not great, not bad, just okay. Why? Well the cocoa and coffee flavours were strangely muted, but the nuttiness made this redeemable. It was as if there was a quarter seco leaf missing or alternatively, a quarter volado leaf extra. That's Montecristo for you, isn't it? It can be phenomenal, it can be great and on days like this, it can be just okay. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akela3rd Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Confession time:I smoke a lot more cigars than I post on here, I don’t post them because I enjoy a lot of NCs. Like this one I’m smoking now, it’s a Nicaraguan Overrun Maduro very cheap and tastes great with coffee.I know this forum is more geared towards CCs, I would love to hear people’s thoughts on the posting of NCs on here. I like the community but I don’t smoke many CCs because the few I have I’m trying to age. I do feel I don’t post as much due to my assumption that you all would rather see CCs posted. Thoughts?Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkIf you think it's worthy of sharing, do it. NCs have their place in this wide world. I picked up a couple in the UK box pass yesterday (Brickhouse and Drew Estate) out of curiosity and will be posting my thoughts on them in time no doubt.

Being new to CC I just chalked it up to it being too young. I'm hoping your experience combined with mine doesn't signal simply bad boxes of Monte No 2 coming out of UTL this past spring. I'm probably going to let my box rest a couple more months before I try a second stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bigbwalls Posted October 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2018 PSD4 - May 2014 Perfect draw. Decent burn, a little crooked but never required a touch up. Cinnamon-spice with every puff. Just a damn fine cigar. It’s a shame there’s only one left in the box. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, I had a second stick of this box code last week and it was much better, more like what I come to expect when I light up a Montecristo No.2.

Popular Post encephalization Posted October 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2018 SUA EA00 on the ERdM Lonsdale. First inch muted then getting alive. Brilliant at times but its necessary to pay full attention.The QdO 50 had some significant burn issues and I'm not convinced of the flavors. So far, not a fan.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post havanaclub Posted October 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2018 MSU FEB 18 BRC. Definitely better than the first one I had out of the box Rott. But still quite young. I think this box will be very good with a few years on it. Having a party short after Apple picking with the family this morning. Off to my folks house later for a nice Thanksgiving dinner. Needed to get this one in. Second one from a HQ cab I picked up here a few months back. Very enjoyable so far.
