Popular Post encephalization Posted October 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2018 Been a while since I posted here but.. Wedding (not mine) Saturday, the groom pulled out some Party Culebras from the groomsmen. Have not had many recently but this (2015 I believe) was spot on. True Partagas flavors, well balanced.PLPC TOS MAR17 just before the ceremony. Hints of caramel but probably won't get there for another couple of years. Still smoking nicely though, more body than I usually expect from the vitola/marca.After dinner, RASS MUR JUN13. No more left from this box, good specimen.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post LLC Posted October 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2018 What great weather today. Had to break out something I knew I’d enjoy. SOM SEP 15 Punch Punch from a cab. Wow, what a great cigar. Later decided to open up one of my new boxes of HU Mag 46’s that I picked up a couple of months ago. I do have some from 2005 but trying to keep those for special occasions. ABO ABR 18 HQ. Started out quite good; at the one inch mark I tried to knock the ash off but it stayed on. Construction for the first half was perfect but got a bit wonky after that. All in all good for such a young cigar and think these will only get better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted October 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2018 1. San Cristóbal de La Habana El Príncipe TOS May 2016 This cigar was the perfect balance of San Cristobal coffee, cocoa and molasses. There was absolutely no spice evident, but the combination of the mild-medium sweet flavours made this easy to nub. How can they get this good when I've nearly run out (of the box)? 2. Montecristo No.1 ESL Jun 2017 Construction-wise, this was a lot better than my last one. As usual, nice and mild and very easy to smoke. This was a nice blend of Montecristo cocoa and milk coffee flavours, complimented by some nut and vanilla bean, at times. 3. Montecristo Petit Edmundo (FoH: Week in Pictures Sampler Prize Cigar) It would be an understatement to admit that this was possibly the best Montecristo Petit Edmundo I've ever had. I must thank the team at FoH as this cigar was part of a sampler prize for the FoH: Week in Pictures thread. The difference between this Petit Edmundo and others that I've had in the past was the sheen off the wrapper and the obvious potent barnyard aroma. The cigar was a lot milder than the usual Petit Edmundo, perhaps a touch under medium, with dark cocoa, milk coffee, leather and vanilla bean notes. The only criticism I had of this cigar was that the binder leaves were bunched and this caused burning issues, at times, which required correction, but otherwise it was a great smoke. 4. Montecristo Double Edmundo (FoH: Week in Pictures Sampler Prize Cigar) Like my previous cigar to this one, the Montecristo Petit Edmundo, this was part of a prize sampler from the FoH: Week in Pictures competition and like that cigar, the sheen on the wrapper and the barnyard aroma was outstanding. I've had quite a number of Montecristo vitolas over the years, but believe it or not, this was the first time I've ever had a Double Edmundo (a Robusto Extra at 50 ring gauge x 155 mm or 6.1 inches in length and released in 2013). I expected this to be a 'powerhouse', but like the Petit Edmundo, it was milder than I anticipated, with classic Montecristo cocoa and milk coffee flavours and sweet notes of vanilla bean and caramel. Thank you Team FoH for another great cigar! 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RDB Posted October 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2018 Your basic RASCC, from ESL AGO 17. Punchy little number, smoking fine despite the slightly cracked wrapper. Such a different character from the RASS: much spicier. I find smoking these while nibbling something sweet really brings out the sweet flavours in the cigar. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
