Nice lineup. I always love ogling a principe. They’re such delightful cigars. I had a few gifted to me by @Hotboxx that were just so supremely gorgeous. I didn’t even want to smoke them. I just wanted to eat them. I told Caity. She said I was a freak. She wasn’t wrong. I chopped the cap off of one and couldn’t help myself. I chewed on the little bit of chopped filler, like a chaw. It was heavenly. No shame. It’s the perfect cigar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luca Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Grab a box if you can @cfc1016. Hands down they are my favourite minuto at the moment! I have never chewed a cigar before. Not up my alley but i have heard of those that do chew their cigars a bit. So you're not alone! I remember watching a Sautter cigar video and Laurence mentioned that he had a customer that would chew through Monte 4s. He would do a while box in a couple of weeks because he loved chewing them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOS XXX 16 principes are staples of my collection. Every time I'm buying cigars, I remind myself that if a box of TOS XXX 16 principes is available, I should be buying them. I get antsy if i have under 2 boxes. I wholeheartedly agree that they are superb. We are choir and preacher on this one. I didn't actually chew the cigar. I quite dislike a wet cigar, for the effects it has on the draw/taste. I chewed the little bit of filler that I would've otherwise discarded after cutting the cigar. I actually quite dislike chewing the head of a cigar, if I'm frank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TOS codes have been great. Apologies I mis read your post. I thought you chewed the beginning of your cigar. I personally don't like chewing the end of a cigar either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you chewed the beginning of your cigar. I personally don't like chewing the end of a cigar either. I have it on good authority that the LGR XXX 17 boxes are of the same character and quality, if not even the same ‘seam’ of tobacco, as Rob would say. They’re both the La Corona factory. Sidenote - I thought i read somewhere that minutos are rolled by torcedors who are somewhat ‘lower on the totem pole’. I wonder if they’ve put some ‘rising stars’ on the principe line. If that’s so, I wonder if there’ll be an abrupt downfall in quality of principes [edit] when those rising stars are promoted [edit]. It’s purely speculation, of course, but it’s good enough excuse for me to hoard 16/17 boxes just in case 18/19 ends up letting me down.

It isn't as refined as an Imperialies, not as rich as the Diplomatico or Belicoso Royal REs. Probably more comparable to a young Corona Claro. More wood and less baking spice, some youthful char in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post LLC Posted January 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2019 Picked up a bundle of Puntillas from Alex last November. Had my first one a few weeks ago and construction was terrible and had to pitch it. I was surprised as other customs from Alex had been very good. Had my second one tonight and it was great, perfect construction and very enjoyable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted January 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2019 Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial GOS Feb 2018 (thanks @Richard peters!) Thank you Richard for gifting me this cigar. The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial is known for being the 'king of cream' and despite being under 1 year old, this certainly was creamy, however I would imagine it would need more time to become more so. This was very mild, tasted of light cocoa, cedar, vanilla and a little clove and was very easy to smoke and retrohale. San Cristóbal de La Habana El Príncipe TOS May 2016 It seems appropriate to bookend my US holiday by smoking the same brand of cigar that started my trip a few weeks ago in Orlando, the San Cristobal de La Habana El Principe. The only difference is the weather here in Dallas this afternoon is around 45°F (7°C) with the wind, in comparison it was around 70°F (21°C) in Orlando a few weeks ago for my first SCdLH El Principe. As a result, I couldn't help but smoke this quickly. I left home for Sydney a few hours later and I endured 100°F (38°C) heatwave conditions over the next few days. A few days prior to leaving Dallas my son and I were caught up in a surprise thunderstorm which cancelled the Cotton Bowl between Boston College and Boise State. We wanted to walk up to Noble Ave from our hotel to get some Shake Shack for dinner, as this restaurant is not currently franchised in Australia. On the way back we were absolutely drenched. Was it worth it? Oh yes, definitely! 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
