Could you give me an idea of the profile of this please?

So far i've heard classic Sancho salt driftwood and cream, but with touches of chocolate/coconut. Sort of like a Sp beli mixed with a monte PE. Does this ring true?

Definitely the classic Sancho Panza profile, my fellow brother.

What you’ve heard is quite accurate.

Unfortunately, I did not notice any hints of coconut. Due to the pairing perhaps?

Construction, burn and draw were all exceptional.

Hope this helps.

Does it live up to the hype?

It's no tatuaje, illusione, padron or opus... It does have a pleasant nutty flavor but I'll take any regular production CC any day over it.

How are they smoking young? I’ve been curious...

awkwardPause · January 9, 2019

A few from the last few ?...

RASS - ULA FEB 14 - stunning, super funky (barnyardyness?) richness.

Monte 80th - UAO NOV 17 - Big, toasty, chocolate bomb. Medium body and tasty as can be. Buttery aroma while smoking. Too bad so pricey!

Punch Corona - 1995 something else. No sweetness but just sheer earthy, hay and coffee. Really nice and unique.

Cohiba Corona Especiales - REG MAY 18 - fresh - rich, grassiness prevails. Almost put me on my ass with nicotine.

Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robusto - UEB DIC 17 - Wow, did I ever write these off way too soon! Toasty goodness that makes me love the marca even more (doesn’t take much as it’s already my favorite

Cheers!

Not bad. Starts out with dry wood and baking spice, but shows some youthful elbows in the second half.

Cheers for this dude, looks like the Cuaba Distinguidos rollers have been given some Sancho tobacco to play with.....which is a good thing

Couple in the last week. Espy for NYE whilst neighbors were blowing up the neighborhood.

‘99 Sancho Panza Coronas Gigantes. Love these things. I’m fearing they are losing it as I wasn’t blown away like the last time. Might have been the brisk swim in the pool prior.

Jonny-O custom roll. Great consistent every day cigar.

This box of RAU AGO 16 partagas petit coronas especiales have just been utterly spectacular. @NSXCIGAR and @awkwardPause - this is a winning code. Really really good. All that earthy, leathery, woody, slight-spicy goodness is there, and the flavor journey is just an absolute delight.

I’m so grateful to HSA, honestly, for these. This is the cigar that instantly springs to mind, and gives me a hearty chuckle, when people at shops tell me they “don’t smoke cubans ‘cause they’re too expensive”. They then proceed to walk out with their $15 rocky patel whilst i go home to the bliss of a ~$4 bombshell partagas. I’ve given up on trying to change minds. It seems a frivolous pursuit.

Edit: @HDGSN - pm me for a link, if you see the stealie and realize you ‘just must have it’. I’ve even got a good backstory to share with you. I’ve got you pegged as a Scarlet->Fire guy, yeah?

Nice smokes there. I didn’t know monte 80th were made in 17, let alone late 17. Thought they were just 15,16. Maybe that was a leyenda and they wanted to get rid of the 80th bands!

I’ve had man flu all through the festive period and not been able to enjoy a nice cigar, yet now that I am back at work and I have a meeting in london late this afternoon I’ve managed to squeeze in a couple of hours with this lovely Punch Punch from our host before I set off. A very rare treat at this time of year!

Wow it’s been a very special day indeed. Had a successful meeting in london and now enjoying this gorgeous piramidas extra over dinner at Ten Manchester street. Without doubt my favourite place to go for a cigar in London! Let’s hope 2019 carries on like this

I’m deep enough in the weeds that my favorite songs depend on the particular years or strings of tours. Scarlets were best in ‘74, but Scarlet->Fire...give me the ‘78s.

‘77 and ‘78 were great years for TMNS, Peggy-O, Brown Eyed Women, Me and My Uncle, Big River, Estimated and Scarlet->Fire

Bolivar Royal Coronas that’s been sitting in my humi for a little over a year. Decided it enjoy it during a rare 50 degree day yesterday.
