Popular Post RazorbackFan Posted March 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2019 Enjoyed my first-ever Sir Winston last night, the first one from a SEA MAY 17 box. I’ve had two boxes of HUSW sitting in my tupperdor for a year and a half, untouched. I’d always make an excuse like “they’ll be better aged” or “save them for special occasions”. From now on, I’ll consider a good cigar to BE a special occasion. Rather than waiting around for the perfect day, I’m going to smoke the damn things, and the same goes for all of the other untouched boxes I’ve put away. All of these cigars won’t do me a bit of good if I get hit by a bus tomorrow. I think it’s time to start wearing my best suit, eating on the good china, and smoking my best cigars! 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've come to the same conclusion and it'll be a year of the occasional rare or interesting cigar just because...

havanaclub Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 An OBM Feb 17 Churchill that's just killin it. Happy Aloha Friday! I wish mine burned. I got a really dark PSP OBM 16 box and unfortunately they are asbestos wrappers. Bombed a few out and the people told me they pitched them early as they wouldn’t stay lit. Not sure if time will help them. Because of this, it has really made me rethink the dark oily ones. I hope I am wrong and the first 6-7 of them will be the only duds.

But a year later they seem to have come around nicely, now that I have about 10 left. The last 2 have burned just fine, with tons of wonderful barnyard caramel and fruity vanilla ’n coffee. Yum.

Yum.That gives me some hope. Mine is close to yours, a touch older. OBM DIC 16. Took one to Cuba a few weeks back and dry boxed it for a week. Tossed it. I am not hopeful they turn around. I won’t touch them for 8-12 months. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted March 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2019 Vegas Robaina Don Alejandro OMR Oct 2015 Vegas Robaina is a marca that admittedly doesn't enjoy a notable profile, is unlikely to be in your 'go-to' rotation and like many other Habanos Multi-Local classified brands, has had a few regular production vitolas deleted since its inception as a brand in 1997. It was named after the famous Cuban tobacco grower, Alejandro Robaina, whom the Cuban Government decided to honour as the preeminent tobacco grower in Cuba in the 90's by naming a marca after him. A little over 20 years later there is only the Piramides-shaped vitola, the Unicos (52 ring gauge x 156 mm or 6.1 inches) and the Hermosos No.4, the Famosos (48 ring gauge x 127 mm or 5 inches) left. Like many other Lonsdales, Coronas and Double Coronas in the last 15 to 20 years, the Clásicos, the Familiar and the Don Alejandro have since been discontinued. The Don Alejandro is the most recent deletion, although still available until 2017, it was a very slow seller (as is the Vegas Robaina marca overall). The late '15 Don Alejandro I smoked tonight has rested a little over 3 years and I wanted to re-visit it as Vegas Robaina is known for its prominent chocolate profile, and according to my palate, brands that share this dominant flavour profile tend to peak in the 3 to 5 year window, although I admit this is a personal generalisation and not a rule. This Double Corona was 2 hours and 15 minutes of pure bliss. What made it so was not the chocolate and slight raisin sweetness balanced by a hint or sour dark cherries, although those flavours certainly appealed to my 'sweet tooth'. No, what made this so good for me was the gorgeous baking spice from beginning until the very end when I nubbed this. The baking spice was the dominant flavour and is something I look for and appeals to me in certain marcas as a sign of aging. If you are seeking a cigar outside of your normal rotation and you've picked this vitola up in 2017/18, or earlier, from FoH 24:24 listings or elsewhere and have rested them for awhile, do yourself a favour and smoke one up, and soon! 23 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently picked up a box of Unicos and Famosos blind, very happy with them, especially as I seem to have miraculously body swerved the poor quality Rob has said VR has been putting out in the last year or so. I used to enjoy the Classicos, but could never really put my finger on the cocoa powder and prune profile, until Rob put it together. Really nice to be smoking this blend again, they are definitely a nice change of pace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
