FOH'ers Daily Smoke

[mtd057]

My 1st Presidente, only been in my humidor for a month.  Picked up 6 from a 24:24.  

Overall a very nice smoke, a bit rough, but enjoyable.

First one of these and enjoyable but think time will improve them. Have a couple of boxes and may pick up some more in Havana.

I have recently had some Girvan as well.  Not easy to come by where I live but you can find it easily online.  Good stuff

you may not be able to find that exact offering but I have seen a few different Girvans, mostly from UK retailers

All the talk about the Punch Double Corona got me thinking ...

Punch Punch (2018 Xmas Sampler Series)

The fourth cigar I've had from the 2018 Xmas Sampler Series and I must say that it has been the best, so far. Punch Punch has had its share of years spent in the 'doldrums', but ever since 2016 they've enjoyed a revival on our forum. For me, this smoke embodies the fine characteristics of what we enthusiasts colloquially refer to as 'Cuban twang', the acidic addition from the minerals of the red soil of Cuba which can be described as 'citrus tart'. In my opinion, it's unique in the Habanos marca range, and perhaps only the Punch Double Corona can shadow it.

This had gorgeous spiced cream from the first puffs and it was an instant 'hit', that is, I knew it was better than your average habanos very quickly. Together with a little cedar and leather, and the previously mentioned 'Cuban twang' essence, this was very easy to nub. I even gained a benefit from not touching up the wrapper in the middle third, as the burn self-corrected and I didn't have to risk charring the wrapper. However, I don't think it would have mattered, this Punch Punch was that good!

 

Partagás Serie E No.2 (2018 Xmas Sampler Series)

The fifth cigar I've had from the 2018 Xmas Sampler series, this has been touted on our forum as a 'Behike replacement' in the past 12 months. Of course, nothing can truly replace a Behike, but since it's been on hiatus, I must admit that the Partagas Serie E No.2 is not a bad replacement. So what was this like? If you enjoy the pepper or spice of Partagas Serie D No.4's, then prepare to be disappointed as this is more refined than that, although there was little white pepper or spice evident in this cigar. It certainly has that core Partagas sourdough, leather and coffee flavours and comes in 5-count semi-boite nature (or wooden) boxes if you are interested in sampling it!

H. Upmann Connoisseur No.1 (2018 Xmas Sampler Series)

The sixth cigar I've had from the 2018 Xmas Sampler Series and this was another great option for smoking a cigar when you have 45 to 60 minutes on hand. It had very typical H.Upmann shortbread and coffee flavours, perhaps less on cream and shortbread and more on espresso coffee due to the youthfulness of this particular cigar. There was also some nut and sweetness at times akin to something like licorice. This is a good option if you want to sample a milder H.Upmann and it is slightly smaller than a Robusto in its size.

Can’t decide whether to review the Serie P or Reynaldo for the WRC:SSS.

2017 Alex Piramide. I am happy to say this has not gone into the "sick period". It is really good, in fact it's better than before. Leather, honey, sandalwood, cream, earth. Mineral earthiness is less now than when it was fresh but the other notes are more pronounced.

My first PSD4

Back home now and couldn’t resist trying another one. Really loving it but will let them rest till the summer now. I think this will be the perfect cigar to smoke with coffee on a nice sunny morning.

Esplendido on this beautiful, 55* F and sunny Super Bowl Sunday.

Hard to believe it was 8* F in Northern NJ when I woke up yesterday morning.

This batch of lusi are sooooo good. I've had 2 or 3 from this box, and all have been superb. Might try and let them sleep for a long nap before I crack into more.

Pregame Reyes MUP May 18. First one out of a box that just hit 90 days in my humidor. I didn't expect it to be ready but wanted to give one a shot as a baseline. Definitely needs more down time. Will try another one in 6 months. 

 

Quick halftime SUM Sep 15 Perlas. Nice rebound from the too young pregame Trini Reyes I had earlier.

LMB MAY 18 BBF. Plugged, but tasty.

Weather is still fantastic tonight, so it's time for round two. MUO MAY 14 CoRo.
