One of my favs. Was so much tobacco, leather, coffee flavors....Held itself well in terms of construction & combustion. Gonna smoking some more.....Enjoyable smoke for me last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Connoisseur Kim Posted March 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2019 Just had Upmann Connie A and it was such a helluva journey without any harshness like LGC MdO No. 4 despite of its young age (only 1 year old). I also found that there were no mongrel flavour and aggressive spice kick that are present in Mag 46. Because of that, I really felt happy as I was in the cigar nirvana and considered this cigar as truer to marca and more superior than Mag 46 ?! Total Time Spent: 1hr 37min P.S. I really liked the design of the cigar band too as it looked gorgeous and definitely kingsman class ?! 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted March 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2019 Juan López Selección No.2 MEL Dic 2016 This was the second cigar I've had from this cab and I was anticipating a better constructed cigar this time around. Below is what I wrote in my notes about the first cigar I had about 6 weeks ago... "This was the first cigar from a new box so I was excited to give this a try, despite the fact that I haven't had the best smoking experiences with this cigar in the last few years. Unfortunately, my poor run of luck continued as the draw on this was very loose and as a result the burn was uneven and required touch-ups and re-lights. This detracted a little from my enjoyment of the cigar, however, the flavour redeemed the experience a little for me, as yes, I did get that citrus orange chocolate and cream coffee blend around that JL2 toasted tobacco core. I hope the next JL2 from the box is better, especially construction-wise." How was this one? Well, in terms of construction it was 'top-notch', but in regards to flavour it was okay, not outstanding, but fine. I didn't mind it but I had to smoke it slowly to savour the orange citrus chocolate flavour on the edges drawing me away from the strong espresso coffee and toasted tobacco core, which dominated this cigar. At the end of the day, as Aussies are prone to say when they want to make a firm summary of a situation, I just know I need these milder to suit my palate, it's as simple as that. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post George-eed Posted March 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2019 Absolutely loving this Cuaba Distinguidos! I bought a couple of hand picked boxes from our host last year and they are pretty special. My palate is not usually refined enough to pick out individual flavours I just either like a cigar or I don’t, but with these I’m getting a very distinct taste of peanuts Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I smoked a couple SJs from nov17 in June of 2018 that were really good. Memorable in fact.

El Pres' description in this weekend's 24:24 listing is a good summary of the HdM San Juan profile... Cream and light toast, cinnamon on the edges. Decadent. Viscous tongue coating smoke. Cream, cedar, tea, quality toasted tobacco is all on display but this is predominantly a lay down cigar for a few years to enable the sweet spices to develop alongside the cream present now. As its a Le Hoyo line cigar, these typically build in cream, cedar and even sweet spices as they age. For me, the standard HdM line (i.e. think Epicure No.1, No.2 etc) have less cedar and more light cocoa to them and tends to be less 'toasty' when youthful. Personally, I don't mind both. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post George-eed Posted March 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2019 Epi 2 & Coffee by the pond this morning. Not a great example I’m afraid. I normally love these but this one is seriously under filled, feels like I’m just pulling in air. If it carries on like this I’ll just have to chuck it Hoping this Connie A will make up for the disappointment earlier today. Not having much luck today Getting better, there’s still hope. Not the best but definitely finishing on a high note Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
