Thanks Claus you just saved me 500 bucks...lol

I quite liked the ERDM aniversario in the same format from a few years back.

After all this recent talk of PL Picadores I had to have one (EOT SEP 16). Very light draw, a little harsh to start but settled nicely into a sweet, herbal rhythm. Will try and get at least some of this box to the 5 year mark and see what happens.

Just recently bought a box on 24:24; never tried them and there aren’t to many reviews out there. 

Really love the PLPC, wanted to give these a try. Not expecting the profile of the PLPC, but hope they’re just as good as those 

what did you like about these?

To be fair this box has been hit and miss. I've had about a dozen but only a couple have really shone. A little underfilled in general leading to light and slightly harsh draws. Those that have been good are pure PL, hinting at the famous caramel sweetness. These need a couple more years really I think. I do like the size (Hermosos 4) and if I could get some consistency they'd be fantastic.

2013 PLPC on a rainy Friday with sleeping kids. Perfect as usual from this box.

Rafael González Perlas Original Release circa 2011 (thanks @cfc1016!)

I must thank @cfc1016 for the opportunity to smoke this original release Rafael Gonzalez Perlas from 2011. These were originally available in the European market, specifically Spain and then England, from what I understand. In comparison to many Perlas I've had over the years, all mainly from 2015 onwards, this was more dominant in earthy flavours. The cocoa was muted, very light, and the cigar now has taken on more floral notes. Baking spice was also a key flavour, but honey sweetness was minimal. So, in summary, very different to the Perlas I've enjoyed at around 3 years of age, but nonetheless quite enjoyable for a smaller cigar over 30 minutes due to its mildness and refinement.

Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo du Prince SUA Dic 2002 (again thank you kindly, @cfc1016!)

It was only just a week ago that I smoked a Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo du Prince from 2016, this du Prince was bandless, as they all were prior to 2005. The only Le Hoyo linea cigar I've had of that age has been the des Dieux, and this was very different to that.

Before I enunciate the difference, I must acknowledge again the kindness of @cfc1016 in making this all possible. This 2002 du Prince was full-flavoured and still medium in strength, this fact alone surprised me. In terms of flavours I hesitate in describing where to begin as the complexity was quite significant. Firstly, the underlying cedar and cloved spice was there throughout the whole cigar and it was most certainly creamy at the beginning, but towards the second third the tone completely changed, with earthy (perhaps even mushroom) and herbal or grass flavours taking over. In the final third the spiciness really kicked in and it made me reflect on the fact that these Le Hoyo cigars really do have a long-life, I could have easily aged this for another 5 years and I don't think it would have diminished the quality of the cigar in any way.

In conclusion, if you were fortunate enough to pick up a box of these when their deletion was announced in early 2017, then know that the du Prince is a cigar that benefits from long-term aging indeed. Good luck if you can hold on them that long!

RG Perlas from'16. Sent to me by a generous brother. These seem to not get much praise but I like them a lot.

A D4 for me today. Not sure of the age or box code but I think they’re early 2017. Possibly the best D4 I’ve had.

Probably my favorite cigar, all things considered.  I have a box of LAT JUL 17, among others.  How was it?

This one had some draw issues which was unfortunate. Even the Perfect Draw didn’t help. The others from the box have been great. I smoked about three quarters of it before I had enough. Overall they’re great cigars and I love the size. These and the Cedros de Luxe No. 1 are probably my favorite RyJ.

Montecristo No.4 with some champagne. 

Loving that I can smoke everywhere here. Not like this at home. Enjoying an H. Upmann No. 2 (unknown date). Also, my wife wanted to be in the picture for the board...

[Connoisseur Kim]

Had a H. Upmann Añejados Robustos on the yesterday lunch break and found it was not great as my favourite, Connie A despite the fact that all Añejados are aged for five to eight years before release (I would rather go with aged Montecristo No. 4 instead). But I personally believe that it is still good for those who have never tasted aged cigars before (especially CC newbies) ?.

Total Time Spent: 1hr 10mins

P.S. Luckily, the draw and burning of this cigar were way better than Partagas Series No. 1 (still required some relights)! Also, I was able to restore torn Añejados band to its original state with glue although I could not do the same thing with H. Upmann cigar band.

Little rough but oh so tasty. Paired with an iced coffee, no cream no sugar.

The Vagueros Tapados is a good value smoke. Pretty good for a cheap and cheerful smoke.
