Popular Post AbasCigar Posted February 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2019 PSD4 from 2012. It's lovely and all but I must say that this cigar doesn't change alot with aging. Love them fresh or aged. Another "I can't sleep cigar" Cohiba CE - 15 The draw was a bit too open but taste is W O N D E R F U L when you take shorter puffs. Complexity level 99 Honey-dipped grass with leathery earthiness on a bed of flowery cedar? Oh and did I mention the magic touch of vanilla- cream ? 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lotusguy Posted February 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2019 Closing in on having smoked every RE ever released with this Punch Northern Lights. Quite earthy and strong. Never bought a full box of those and the various singles I had didn’t blow me away but this one was very nice indeed. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaclub Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 How is it? I have two 2016 boxes and one 2018 box. Still have yet to try one.... Not bad but not great. I am not sure of the date as I won it from FoH but I would guess recent production maybe late 17 early 18. A little harsh around the edges for sure. Getting straight leather and pepper notes, that’s about it. I would crack that 16 box and give it a whirl.

Thanks man ...reason I ask is I just smoked through some 15s and soon will crack into my 16s ..wondering what the year might’ve done to the smoke Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It smoked very well. Not harsh at all. Unfortunately I have not had any with more age on them than these do. As for this one example from this cab. I’d say start smoking your ‘16’s.

Popular Post JohnS Posted February 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2019 Romeo y Julieta Churchills OBM May 2017 I don't think I can recall a 2016/17 Romeo y Julieta Churchill that I did not enjoy recently and furthermore, rate highly. In contrast, I don't think I've had blander cigars than some 2014/15 Romeo y Julieta Churchills I've smoked. Thus stands the gulf in how far this vitola has come in terms of reputation. The main thing I have come to seek from these Churchills in the last 12 to 18 months is the combination of turkish delight, rosewater and sweet anise. Sometimes you get cherry (or berries) and they can be 'toasty' this young too. This Churchill cigar had notes of milk chocolate and was light on the sweet anise flavour. Otherwise, the flavours were typically what I've come to expect of late and it was similarly superb. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But taste wise I feel that I got the same notes just less pepper in the aged one. When comparing a fresh cohiba/ bolivar etc to an aged one there is a huge difference that I cant say I got with PSD4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Highly recommend you age that box (if you can) for a minimum of 2 year. Try to aim for 5 if possible. When they have age on them I find that the shortbread increases and there is also a pleasant orange citrus twang to it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two boxes "TOR DIC 15" in my coolidor and have not smoked one yet. I want to wait to smoke one with at least 5 years of age on them so figure I will probably not smoke one until January, 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
