THEMISCHMAN Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post George-eed Posted February 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2019 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!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted February 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2019 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. 15 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if the cigar-fairies are whispering? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only proviso I placed upon myself was to save the upcoming Liga Privada Velvet Rat for a day without adverse weather conditions (i.e. not too hot, cold or humid) as I know that one deserves a little 'extra' attention in my opinion.

Popular Post Lotusguy Posted February 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2019 RE Day My first and only Israel RE - fantastic! Wish they weren’t $600+/box which is just out of line for a Petit Robusto. Boli Tesoro - they are coming around. This one had good construction and burn, even though the wrapper had a split. Reminded me a lot of a good Bolivar Libertador LCDH. PL Corona - relatively tight draw, but I let it dry box for a few days (I.e. let it lay around in a heated room). They still need downtime. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoH have ordered some wood and metal prototypes of this cigar stand product and I was in the 'right place at the right time', so-to-speak, to trial one out recently. I'm sure it won't be too long until they are rolled out and widely available as an official Friends of Habanos accessory, like the ashtray, lighter and hat.

I'd wait for an early fall day for sure for the Rat! And try to time it for the end of coffee and the beginning of whiskey. Definitely the least CC influence in that bunch, and I should have cautioned you on the youth of Santa Muerte. The Viaje should be about as ready as the LFD was; I still haven't smoke one of those myself, I'm almost content to just smell them. I've been running thru SC principles MCMC and RyJ Petite Royals like they sell them at the corner store... So very glad you are enjoying them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bigbwalls Posted February 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2019 Juan Lopez No. 2 - Jan 2018 I hope the rest of the box is as good as this one. Bold flavors, in your face, a nice punch to the sinuses on the retrohale. I’ve burnt through plenty of boxes of these in the past, but this current box is hands down the best yet. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
