How was it? I have one of those boxes and I’m itching to try...

I loved it! Will try and let them rest now till the summer, but this will definitely be another perfect sunny morning smoke to pair with a coffee

This was only the second one for me....First was like meh after 90 days arriving...& second was with good flavors after 10 months of rest. SOM SEP16 is the box code. Enjoyable one for me. Will smoke again after a month or two. Hopefully it gets better.
Give it a good rest & try again. It will turn around.

That’s good to hear. I just checked my box code and it’s UBM OCT 17 so yours are year older. I think I’ll leave them alone for now and maybe try another towards the end of the year.

Welcome to Taipei where a SLR Serie A can be found.... for ~$35

...

A recent prod Serie A?  How was it (besides expensive haha)?

Edit:  Uuuugh, just read that they're discontinued.  ???

Yesterday while getting the grill ready, the only thing I wrote was "Monte No. 1" so no idea on box code or date, I'm guessing probably 2 years, maybe less.

They are not officially discontinued. Just haven't been made in awhile...we'll see if 2019 brings the official axe or not

I really need to work on my will power. Decided to get a baseline on these. ROTT and it was amazing!!


I am hoping we found our first house this afternoon. I don't want to jinx anything as we still have a long way to go, but it was perfect. Celebrating with a monsdale.

Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.2 BUP Mar 2018

I've been waiting a little while to have my second from the box, but I must admit that in terms of flavour, this was not as good as my first one. In terms of construction, then yes, this was nowhere near as tight on the draw as the first from the box and it burned well. Sometimes you can't win them all!

So what was the difference form the first cigar sampled? Basically I found that more creamy and less spicy, so more to my preference. This Epicure No.2 was nevertheless finely balanced, with light milk cocoa, clove and cinnamon spice and some vanilla on the edges. I look forward to the next one.

Hoyo de Monterrey Maravillas from the 2015 Collection Book

I spent the last 2.5 hours smoking this behemoth cigar, right off the truck.  They looked so good I couldn’t help myself.  The wrapper was smooth and silky to the touch, perfect construction, and a smell that was out of this world.

The first 1/3 was dominated by rich leather and wood flavors which lasted about an hour.  It was outstanding.  The middle portion lost those flavors and became mostly black pepper, which isn’t my favorite cigar profile, but after about a half an hour of that, it became enjoyable again with more sweet flavors of waffles and syrup.  That continued through the final 1/3 and became more intense adding flavors of gingerbread to the finish.

That sounds like an amazing journey!

Fired up this bad boy to celebrate my first house purchase. Well, almost purchase. We signed the contract and now have to go through the process. The cigar had great draw but started out very muted with low smoke output. After an inch or so it became super rich and creamy. Definitely worthy of the occasion. I have a dark, almost Maduro one I may smoke when we close, unless I find something more epic hiding in my humidor.

Taco Tuesday. Gotta agree with Rob on this one. Like all ELs, these will need some down time.
