Popular Post HarveyBoulevard Posted December 29, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2018 It's gotten frigid in Southern California, down to 40 degrees. Have moved from the back patio to the garage and put on long pants. Christmas socks to!!! Busted in to my last cab of Sancho Panza Eslavo. Paired with a little Eagle Rare bourbon and The Big Lebowski on the TV. This aggression will not stand...man. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jimmy_jack Posted December 29, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2018 About once a week I’ll hit a NC and test the waters. Today I grabbed an Illsuione Epernay La Vie 6-3/4x56. I’ve had this in my humidor for about a year and a few months. I remember when I bought it an Illsuione event in Winter Park FL. Absolutley phenomenal. What a great smoke. Construction was great, great draw, good burn. Strong box press too. Loads of smoke. Floral pleasant smoke. Flavor wise it was floral, sweet tobacco. I don’t have a great palate so I won’t try to describe much more. Almost no pepper for the first 2/3 and a solid medium smoke till the end and it kicked up a little. Would love to find a box of these at the right price and store them. Retail is around $260 though and I would rather buy something from Rob at that price. Mid you have a chance give one a try. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JohnS Posted December 29, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2018 1. Partagás Serie D No.4 GOS May 2018 I had this Partagas Serie D No.4 on a cruise ship while we were at sea in the Caribbean. It was a gorgeous 27°C (80°F), but quite humid off the sea and I have no doubt that this caused the wrapper to split in the last third. No matter, the cigar and conversation with other passengers was quite good! 2. Partagás Serie D No.6 RAE Dic 2014 This Partagas Serie D No.6 was stronger than I liked on account of the high humidity we experienced today on the sea on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. C'est la vie as they say, the conversation with other passengers, whilst smoking on the other hand, was enlightening! 3. Cohiba Shorts Again, the humidity off the sea on my Caribbean cruise meant that this was a little stronger than I usual like it to be. Oh well, thankfully it was only 10 minutes! 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Akela3rd Posted December 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2018 HUPC TOS NOV 16HU Regalias MEG MAR 17I had the HUPC a couple of days ago and thought I'd compare it with the Regalias... The HUPC was, as ever, a smooth, slightly nutty and for want of a better word, gentle, smoke. I've got a couple of dozen left and shall ration myself on these accordingly. The Regalias isn't as subtle but does share the Upmann DNA with a nutty background. I do think these will settle down nicely but although only a few months younger it's definitely still got 'elbows'. As an experiment I'm going to put the Regalias in my 50 count jar with the HUPC and give them the same conditions for a few months and see what develops.

Just discussed this with another BOTL. While the Regalias is not the PC (not perceiving them as gentle, though) for sure, recent production Regalias seems (quite surprisingly for me) to be very good.

Popular Post Markspring1978 Posted December 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2018 This was a pretty decent NC. Lasted over 2 hours. I guess the stock was aged 11 years before it was rolled. Flavor not off the charts, but decent. Construction and draw was very good. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the Regalias is not the PC (not perceiving them as gentle, though) for sure, recent production Regalias seems (quite surprisingly for me) to be very good.Maybe "genteel/dʒɛnˈtiːl/adjectivecharacterized by exaggerated or affected politeness, refinement, or respectability."is more fitting. Or maybe I'm perceiving the HUPC through rose-tinted glasses due to it's reputation hereabouts whereas the Regalias is the unruly interloper? Context and perception certainly have an effect on the experience and in the smoking of both cigars I was aware of this. Interesting innit?
