It’s warm enough for a coffee and a Vigia by the pond this morning
 

Just had a fantastic Sunday dinner with all the family but now I’m relegated to the garage for a smoke. This RA SS is worth it though, it’s been a few months since my last one and I’m wondering why I left it so long? The lashings of stewed fruit I’m getting are a perfect end to the roast dinner and lovely Shiraz we just had.

Hoyo de Monterrey Double Coronas

It's a slippery slope John!! ha.   You could be turning into the 'cigar stratagist'.  Opting for back up £50,000 watches, just in case the first one breaks down.

1. Partagas Shorts GEO Mar 2015 (thanks @Cuzz!)

After not sampling one for over 18 months, I got gifted two within two days! My brother-in-law loves these and gave me the first from his box. Delicious Partagas sourdough, leather and coffee, and not at all spicy. Plus, it was almost 4 years old. What more could one ask for?

2. Warped Don Reynaldo Regalos (thanks @Çnote!)

If it wasn't for your generosity Cody, I would not have sampled these two Non-Cuban cigars. I love the size of this...5 inches or 127mm by 46 ring gauge, this had the honey, vanilla and cream of the combination of Cohiba/Hoyo de Monterrey/Por Larranaga and the white pepper of H.Upmann. Did I mention some complexity? The back half built in intensity with coffee. This was a great smoke indeed!

3. Warped La Relatos (Thanks again @Çnote!)

Again, thanks Cody and again, I love the dimensions of this...6 inches or 152mm x 38 ring gauge, exactly the same size as a Cohiba Coronas Especiales or Montecristo Especiales No.2. Unlike those cigars, this was more intense in body and strength with the main flavours being toast, cedar and white pepper. It was not as sweet as the Don Reynaldo Regalos, which I must admit I enjoyed more. Still, this was another good smoke and kudos to what Kyle Gellis (the manufacturer) is aiming for in releasing these in this size.

Glad you enjoyed these, Don Reynaldo is easily my favorite NC

I'm sure it will sound like blasphemy here, but this Byron Grand Poemas is basically the best Cohiba Siglo VI I've ever had.

Correct @Nekhyludov.  I work about 100 yards away from Cigar & Tabac, so that's my daytime haunt.

SOM SEP 15 Punch Punch from a cab. Yummy.


TRU NOV 17 HU2 from a new clearance box from Rob. It seems anything but clearance quality; very good cigar.

I must say, I agree with Javi, these Medio Siglos are very good. I will be looking to restock in Cuba in March.

I've been wanting to try one of those.  Hear nothing but good things.

Sorry no box code, gifted 

A very pleasant if quick first 2/3rds of cream and sandalwood, unfortunately became quite acerbic past the band.

And older CoRo of unknown date and some Eagle Rare.

My wife has been away for the last three days so it's been me and the five-year-old and the two-year-old. Those two little girls will wear you out. My wife just got home today and it's nice to have back up again.

In honor of this special day, it begins with a Trinidad La Trova. Why is this day special? Well, I’m glad you asked. Today is the anniversary of an event which altered our world in ways we don’t fully comprehend. It was on this day in 1930 that a cow was first milked while in flight. What’s this holiday called? Well, I am glad you asked. ‘Tis “Cow Milked While Flying in an Airplane Day” and so I’d like to wish you and your family a happy one.

Cohiba Robustos (2018 Xmas Sampler Series)

The Cohiba Robusto would have to be one of the most popular Robusto cigars on our forum and one of the most popular Cohiba cigars too. It's not hard to work out why. Simply put, like the H.Upmann Connossieur A, it tends to provide a rounded flavour profile indicative of cigars that have been well-rested even when in their youth, and I'm talking about 6 to12 months in relation to the Cohiba Robustos.

This was the 11th cigar I sampled from the 2018 Xmas Sampler Series and the reason it was left until next to last was because of my familiarity with it. It had all the hallmarks of what you want from a Cohiba Robustos; mocha coffee, vanilla, honey (towards the end interestingly) some spice and Cohiba grass (or hay). The strength was consistent throughout at medium-mild and it was easily 'nubbable', if that's a word! The retrohale was great too...roasted nuts or coffee beans is the best way to describe it, (it was) like heaven to the senses!

Partagás Series No.1 2017 - Edición Limitada (2018 Xmas Sampler Series)

This is the last cigar I smoked from the 2018 Xmas Sampler pack. I think the reason for doing so was because I didn't know what to expect, how did it compare to the 2014 Seleccion Privada Limited Edition, or normal regular production Partagas for that matter?

El Pres has previously listed these as a mix of Partagas Serie E No.2 and Montecristo No.2 and after smoking it I see what he means. There is the Partagas sourdough, leather and coffee elements there combined with a strong chocolate and sweet baking spice note throughout. In comparison to the 2014 Seleccion Privada LE, that was more typical of the Partagas marca, with its uniquely (for a Limited Edition) rosado wrapper and strong paprika spice, this 2017 No.1 LE was more typically chocolate and less powerful.

I just noticed that El Pres mentioned in a 24:24 listing that PCC were not going to supply this down the track so best of luck sourcing this in the future!

[Lotusguy]

Surprised a little bit that I actually enjoy this double-banded dollar gobbler. Has a lot in common with the QdO Imperiales. Of course, it costs twice as much as those were when still available



The angle of the sun makes the wrapper look terrible but it’s actually quite nice.
