Ciao from Roma.  Had a drink and snack at the hotel after arriving in Rome and turns out I don’t have to wait for Fincato!  Aleph in Rome, nice Bolivar LCDH and a gin and tonic

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.

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!

Cohiba ‘Ano Del Cerdo’ Robusto

I would start with the disclaimer that this was smoked ROTT.

The aroma was a beautiful strong barnyard smell, typical of the marca.

The construction was very good.  The draw was perfect, neither too loose or too firm.  The burn, while not perfect, was better than average.

The first 1/3 was dominated by black pepper and leather, with some honey undertones, just begging to come out.  The second 1/3 was a lot more honey, cocoa, and citrus.  And while the first 2/3rds was a very pleasant smoking experience, the final 1/3 is where the cigar really shined.  The honey flavor continued, but there was strong fruity and floral flavors that dominated the cigar.

Overall, would I say that this cigar differed from other CoRos?  I don’t think I would go that far.  In general, I find CoRos to be inconsistent, even within the same box.  So I would say that this CoRo was about equal to the more outstanding CoRos I usually find within a box.  If the others in the box are consistently as good as this one (or better), then I would say that this box is worth the premium.

Just went thru my excel. It was SLE NOV16 ( Hand picked). Smoke a handful from this box, I would say a good box so far.

I have a full box of PSD4 with box code "MEG ABR 16" I have not smoked yet.  They are awesome looking and I bet they are fantastic since they are from the H.Upmann factory.
