Popular Post JohnS Posted January 13, 2019 Popular Post Posted January 13, 2019 La Puntilla Custom (thanks @Fuzz) The La Puntilla custom, a throwback to our well-loved and missed long and skinnies and boy oh boy, aren't many of us grateful to Alex and Rob for this cigar! A 40 ring gauge by 160 mm long panatela, it doesn't actually conform to a recognised vitola, and I think that's quite apt, this stands out on its own. Rob has mentioned that the blend was aimed with a little Montecristo cocoa, a little Por Larranaga sweetness and nut but judging by the cold draw, this reminded me of an aged H.Upmann Connoisseur No.1. The cold draw was distinctively salty and cream, like clam chowder, but the cigar itself settled into a combination of refined shortbread, light coffee and nut all the way, this was easily smokable into the last third. I must thank Fuzz again for gifting this to me from his recent trip to Cuba. If you have an opportunity to pick this up and/or sample it, do not hesitate to do so! 19 1

I've described it as sea urchin in the past. That combination of sweet butter biscuit, and a sort of Sancho salt cream profile, although it sounds as if your saying it moved away from this in the actual smoking Sounds like a treat. Need to get myself to the Island 1

Popular Post LLC Posted January 13, 2019 Popular Post Posted January 13, 2019 Picked up a couple of boxes of ARS AGO 18 Trinidad Fundadores in Havana in November. First thought was way too young to try but wanted to get a idea of how they are so I could see if I should pick up some more. I enjoyed it and think they will only get better with time. More boxes would allow some to age a long time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 18
havanaclub Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 I love Saturday Night after the kids go down. A Dark & Stormy accompanied by a Bushido. Maybe a little Fletch or Caddyshack...I am in the same boat as always. Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Popular Post Haaltert Posted January 13, 2019 Popular Post Posted January 13, 2019 Smoked a Behike 56 yesterday evening, no pictures taken though. Box code AMO NOV16. This was the 4rth I Smoked and probably the best. Amazing cigar from start to finish, I used a toothpick to avoid burning my fingers. 98/100. Flavours were amazing, construction was good, few touch ups needed along the way but nothing really bothering. Regular flavours of cedar, earth, bit of coffee, ... as I have always tasted, what was really different for me this time was the distinct and very enjoyable flavour of raisins. Smoked it to the nub and if I had time, could have smoked another cc straight away. Verzonden vanaf mijn iPad met Tapatalk 7

prodigy Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Really? What is this sorcery?Warped la colmena. I've been on an NC kick recently. This was my first warped, a single from my local store. Crazy good, but not sure I'd buy a box. They are like 13-15$ each, and there's a lot of great CC at that price point. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Popular Post IanMcLean68 Posted January 13, 2019 Popular Post Posted January 13, 2019 Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo du Prince, SOM JUN16. Thank you @JohnS for the very kind gift! I am a big fan of the Des Dieux, but I had never tried this one. I was never likely to either, proving yet again what a great bunch of guys the Sydney boys are! Now that they are discontinued, I am both very glad and a little sad that I did try it! To repeat what you said when you last reviewed this same cigar John, I am also blown away by this one. Enjoyed in the wee small hours right now with coffee. Glorious combination. Colorado maduro oily wrapper, very firm, seamless. Perfect construction! Aroma at cold of spicy cedar and leather. If only Cuba could do this all the time! Perfect Cuban draw, slightly firm and a little resistive, just the way I like it. Creamy, slightly woody texture. I can taste the classic Le Hoyo DNA in this. Sweet spices, hints of vanilla bean, with a slightly woody sweet cedar spine. Bakers cocoa and sweet baking spices intensifying throughout. Started medium, intensifying to a little over medium towards the end. Full flavoured throughout. Glorious aroma on the smoke. What a magnificent cigar. Easily one of the best petit corona sized CC's I have ever smoked. How could HSA possibly have thought of discontinuing these? Damn I love skinnies! Thank you again so much John for giving me the opportunity to try this now sadly discontinued cigar! Nubbed it! 19 1
