Smoked this beauty last Friday from the Hoyo Book 

A true Maravilla of a cigar. Full bodied, similar to the Hoyo DC’s pre 1998. But a way bit bigger  It took me on a fantastic 3 hour journey  

 

I have smoked two of these so far.  I like Hoyos, but they typically aren’t my favorite marca, but THESE are absolutely amazing cigars.

One of my favorites. I’m always on the look out for boxes, as long as the price is still decent.  Should have a ‘15 box in the mailbox today.  

Nice! I'm on the hunt for them too, and have come up empty so far, luckily I have an almost full box from Rob & crew from 16.

Since Stinky Cigar Ashtray finally arrived to my house, I decided to bring Connie A and Stinky Cigar Ashtray for celebrating the completion of Cigar Wiki Project at poolside. Every time I sample Connie A, they always being consistent and reliable all the time and the burning was much better than previous Connie As (still needed some relights but not much as Partagas Series No. 1). Besides, Stinky Cigar Ashtray served me well by keeping ashes all the time even at windy area which allowed me had a better Connie A experience than before. I can see why Stinky Cigar Ashtray is one of the popular cigar ashtrays on cigar forums including FOH! ☺️

P.S. Too bad that my mum still thinks Stinky Cigar Ashtray looks like a huge dog bowl ?

Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo du Prince SOM Jun 2016

It's been a little while since I've had a Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo du Prince from my humidor, and this is timely as this is a few months short of 3 years rested. I can safely attest that these have now progressed to the next stage of their development, the time when the sweetness in them builds up, or alternatively, the woodiness in them subsides. The sweetness in this was like an anise or licorice-type flavour, definitely not vanilla. Underpinned to that flavour was the core spiced wood flavour throughout. Any cream did I hear you say? No, not really, but wait a little longer and that may come in the next stage of its aging.

Trying one for the first time as a baseline. 1/3 in and so far so good. The Hermosos 3 is such a great size.

Montecristo No.4 AEM May 2014

This was the very last cigar from the box which I made sure to smoke no longer than 5 years rested. Why? On the whole I find that certain marcas that have dominant chocolate or cocoa flavours peak in the 3 to 5 year window, whereas others that build in creaminess (think Cohiba, H.Upmann and Hoyo de Monterrey for example) can keep going after 10 years or more. Having said this, I am generalising and every box should be judged on its own merits.

In regards to this box, the last No.4 was without a doubt the best because it had a wonderful balance of all the Montecristo flavours one adores such as cocoa, milk coffee, nut, leather and creaminess. I savoured it by smoking it very slowly, such was the effect of its taste on my palate. What would normally take 50 to 60 minutes to smoke was instead enjoyed over 80 glorious minutes.

Another cigar from[mention=30303]Luca[/mention] - given in the hope that I would get what everyone else does about JLS2s. I'd said that I'd had a few before and wasn't particularly taken by them. As I smoke this admittedly rather good cigar he's in the air and on his way back to Oz. Thanks Luca and safe journey home.
