JAN 2018 RyJ Short Churchill. Nice for such a young cigar. Notes of rose water, toasted tobacco and a slight hint of cherry and coffee. Enjoyable despite starting off a bit rough. @JohnS I am keen to hear your thoughts on the box you got with me.

Funny you should mention that because incidentally I cracked open that box on the weekend too! My thoughts...

Romeo y Julieta Short Churchills LAT Feb 2018

This was the first cigar I tried from a 10-count box and my anticipation was high because I've simply loved practically every Romeo y Julieta Churchill I've tried the last 12 to 18 months. Certainly this started off well with strong elements of the RyJ DNA in the first third, namely cherry, some rosewater and turkish delight. However, this was a touch over medium-bodied, and different to RyJ Churchills I've had recently as they were milder and not as intense in the back half, especially the last third, which had a distinctive bitter chocolate taste to it. In my mind, this suggests that perhaps a little more rest is due this box. We'll see...

Good morning!  Tat Verocu #5.  My favorite with strong coffee.  Full body, black pepper, and liquorice.

PSP Monte double edmundo with a glass of Shiraz this evening. This is the perfect way to relax after a long day at work

Long day, short cigar, ignore filthy fingers. What better before a shower and an early night?

Freshie QdO Coronas Claro. Very nice, sort of like a lighter register member of the Upmann Connie family perhaps? I get plain roasted peanuts, cedar wood and a sense of milky richness, plus a touch of tea. I can’t really see the mad mad frenzy for these stick though, beyond the novelty value.

The old band ETP boxes, were and are fabulous.  I think a good slice of the frenzy was based on how good those cigars were.

I can confirm: a nice smoke, but not like drinking rainbows and unicorn tears.

Grand Churchill Custom

[THEMISCHMAN]

The wife and I closed on the sale of our current house on Tuesday, and closed on the purchase of our new house yesterday. I decided to light up what will most likely be my last cigar at the old house. Some 18 year Macallan paired with a 2014 Coro. Not a bad way to close out the last smoke at the old house.  

Congrats!

QDO 50 from my recent trip to Amsterdam. I usually prefer a stronger cigar like Partagas or Boliva but these are really hitting the spot. I’m back out there in a few weeks and will try to pick up another box. I’ve always been too slow on 24:24!

Black Label Trading Company Santa Muerte Corona Gorda (thanks @Çnote!)

Thanks @Çnote for gifting me this cigar. The Black Label Trading Company also release the Santa Muerte in a Short Robusto, but this Hermosos No.3-sized cigar (yes, it's dimensions are equal to the Punch 48 LCDH and 2014 Bolivar Super Coronas LE) is slightly bigger than a Corona Gorda at 48 ring gauge x 140 mm or 5 1/2 inches.

In regards to flavours, it was mainly a mix of unsweetened cream and wood with some pepper throughout, like a H.Upmann Magnum 46 without the coffee and shortbread. In contrast to that cigar, the flavours here were light on the palate but strong on the nicotine kick, which I must admit I'm not used to as a result of mainly smoking Cuban cigars over a number of years (i.e. with Cubans, it tends to be the other way around).

Still, I'm grateful for the opportunity to sample this to add to my experience along my cigar journey.
