Popular Post earthson Posted March 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2019 Johnny O "LC Celestiales Finos." Only about 6 months old and already world class. Toasted tobacco, lilting cherry jam, exotic woods, faint chocolate and unabrasive earth with excellent construction (it is, I believe, a carbon copy of the discontinued RYJCF vitola). It appears the roller attempted to copy the RyJ blend, too, and succeeded masterfully, although I will acknowledge the power of suggestion. Happy to be sitting on more of these as they show promise as aged treats. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JohnS Posted March 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2019 San Cristóbal de la Habana El Príncipe TOS Jun 2016 Unlike my previous cigar, an aged Sancho Panza Non Plus which was a little tight and produced small whiffs of smoke, this San Cristobal de La Habana El Principe was a little underfilled and produced plumes and plumes of smoke. The contrast was incredible! Again, you wouldn't believe that despite this, the flavour was there. This was more cocoa and spicy than sweet molasses but I could live with it. However, this cigar proved that more smoke output doesn't necessarily equate to a better smoke. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brian24 Posted March 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2019 San Cristobal El Principe. First one. Def will buy more. Delicious. Great aroma. Copious smoke for a little cigar. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LLC Posted March 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2019 Busy day, aside from work we had all the carpet in the house replaced. Good thing we have lots of hardwood rooms as well to put things. Still lots to do but got my office put back together and all the electronics and home theatre done. In other words all the important stuff so time for a cigar. EML MAY 15 CORO. Haven’t had one from this box in a while but picked up a couple of boxes in Havana last week to age so I figure it was time to try one of the ones I’ve had for a while. So far (first third) it is excellent. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post WABOOM Posted March 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2019 LUB MAR 15. Firm draw and a perfect conical "witch's titty" for an ash. That's where they seem to taste the best for me, a couple notches below too tight of a draw. In addition to twang, leather and white pepper, I'm getting a vegatle note that reminds me of rutabaga or a very mild radish. A first for me. Really nice cigar. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted March 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2019 Ramón Allones Celestiales Finos (thank you @alloy!) The Ramon Allones Celestiales Finos. No doubt you've heard of it, if you've perused this forum a little time, for this cigar equates to the ancient city of Atlantis, El Dorado or the Holy City of Mt Zion at the end of the Book of Revelation. In other words, on the one hand discussing it when you haven't had one (ever or even for awhile) adds to its mythical status or legend, smoking one, especially after a good 10 years after they came out, reinforces the veracity of those lofty accolades. I must thank @alloy for gifting me this cigar when I visited Fort Worth late last year. He picked them up in a 5-pack so I'm humbled to have had the opportunity to smoke this cigar, and likewise I feel obligated to share my thoughts for the benefit of our members. To borrow another popular Australian colloquialism, without "beating about the bush" (i.e. getting to the point), this cigar has started to turn a corner. Having said this, it has been quite a journey. Let me explain, if I can. The first year of this release up to its second or third saw many reviewers state how potent this cigar was, like very strong stout beer. The consensus was justified, you see, Pacific Cigar Company blends their Regional Editions for a 5-year development at least. It's why so few are great 'out-of-the-box' except for a very few, one of these being the 2014 Diplomaticos Bushidos, for example. The second phase saw the potency diminish a little but flavours were still strong. Reviewers mainly stated that the cigar had more development to go. I feel that after smoking this cigar, coming upon 10 years of age, that the flavours have mellowed and blended sufficiently to warrant stating that these are closing upon their peak, in my view. The main reason I believe this is due to the milk chocolate/cocoa, leather and cherried stewed fruit profile remaining consistent throughout the smoke, it only lifted in intensity a little in the last third. Previously I found this milk chocolate profile much stronger. There is a dough and dried apricot sweetness to the cigar that was more evident here than I ever remember it being so before. If you have any RACF left then you are very fortunate. I can count mine on one hand, I look forward to smoking them gradually in the next few years. 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bigbwalls Posted March 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2019 Diplo 2 - August 2018 Right off the truck, but I’m impatient and it was a relatively warm day. Lots of spice up front, pepper through the retrohale. It’s like smoking a green pepper, smothered in sweet syrup and sprinkled with paprika. Sounds gross but it’s delicious! Partagas Serie E No. 2 - Nov 17 This is my first from the box - and I’m glad I bought them from a 24/24. If the others are half as good as this one, it’s a win. Fantastic draw, slightly wonky burn but it has corrected itself. There’s cinnamon-spice and leather in each puff. Great... GREAT cigars. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
