[RijkdeGooier]

Another quality cigar. This one a RyJ Fabuloso No.2 from the Book Collection 2016

What can I say. This is RyJ at tis finest with full flavored stone fruit and some with pepper in a very redined mix. 

 

Next week hopefully a Montecristo Gran Pyramides.

Delightful aroma and creamy aftertaste. Definitely worth a try. 

Nice! Been wondering if I should splurge for it.  Think it would go well with most CCs?

QdO 54... First time... Positives, great construction, beautiful looking stick.

However, no thanks, it was like licking slightly sweet wood which then turned ever so slightly salty, maybe from too much licking, LOL. Too subtle, and so dry. 

It was like a Fonseca Delicias that just didn't make the cut.  I had a Fonseca yesterday that was just tasty and savory.

What's the hype about? 

But hey, no worries, glad I had the opportunity to try it.

Posting the rest of my sticks in the Trade Forum.

Magnum 54 today from a 24:24 bonus towards the end of last year. I rarely smoke anything above 50 gauge, and have never smoked an Upmann, so was very pleasantly surprised. Didn’t seem like it would be my cup of tea until I smelled and smoked it, but I really enjoyed this one, thanks Prez!

While I've had both good and meh results from the few I've smoked of each, I think the QdO 50 and 54 both need more down time than most people think.

I think with the blend, and the thickness of the cigar, it's 'in box maturation' to hit the QDO sweet spot may take up to 4- 5yrs.   I bit like smoking a young Des Dieux, the dry, sour woods can be almost overpowering,  but as they age, the sweetness ramps up, and the balance is found. 

If you can find and 2015 ETP Coronas Claro,  thats where the hype is

Hey all, been a while for me!!! Finally had my first cigar of 2019 last weekend to celebrate my 3rd wedding anniversary with my wedding code box!!

Was sick as a dog for a couple months this winter and so was the little one, but now we’re all golden and I’m back!

A question to mods: Is it really deemed necessary to rearrange posts in the Daily Smoke, just for the sake of keeping contributions to one post per day? I find it quite tedious to find replies to posts appearing ahead of the actual posts, then (see example above). The continual mixing up the chronology and the merging of posts is doing a disservice to the follower / reader, if you ask me.

Went to the dr last week as we suspected lady Dux was 7 weeks or so pregnant. Turns out we were wrong and she’s a little further along! 11 weeks, Still in shock. 
Can barely remember the Cohiba but am thoroughly enjoying my last Punch SS#1 right now. There goes the cigar budget! 
 
 

Congratulations!

Thank you @JohnS for this beautiful Romeo and Julieta Capuletos. Great flavours of berry, Turkish delight and some mild coffee with toasted tobacco.

Update: now I am at the end with about 1.5 inches left and I am getting a nice spice note on the retro hale. Strength has also picked picked up a tad.

I agree. 

Now keep in mind I have only smoked 2 of each QdO 50 and 54... I found that they both started off nicely in regards to flavour and combustion. Towards the end...they seem to just die In the arse...

I was at a QdO 54 tasting in London with @stephan and I remember at the end of the night there were alot of QdO 54s left in the ash tray that had about 2.5 inches left. 

My 54 had alot of combustion issues past the halfway point. I just had to put it down (unfortunately).

I won't give up on them. But they do need some time down to rest.

Youre spot on.

I got a box of 2015 ETP QdO Coronas. They're smoking great!

My daughters bought me one of these for Christmas this year. Supposedly rated pretty well, I wasn’t that impressed.

I agree too. Makes absolutely no sense to me to rearrange posts and add them to previous posts. I honestly thought it was a Tapatalk thing.

[Koehlkm12]

La Corona Custom Robusto. Ugly looking cigar but has flavor in spades as Presidente would say. Nice milk chocolate with spice coming in and out. Wish I had more that just one left.
