mkz Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 Will you not need an iron lung after all those......... I can assure you that no such thing was needed!
Freddy Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 After lunch today: Upmann Connoisseur 1: what a soothing, relaxing smoke! (If you are into strong stogies this is definitely NOT the one for you.)
mbrody Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 Mid day smoke, after a hike with the dog, Cohiba Siglo I with a cup o joe. I could have 10 boxes in a locker and still not have enough of these...
bob25 Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 Bolivar CE Very tasteful but had lots of burning issues ,I hope the rest of them will be better.
Onsto Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 Hoyo DC paired with sparkling wine after the first BBQ of the season. Came back with me from Cuba as a loose single so the wrapper was a little banged up but it smoked beautifully. Going to have to get a box of these too.
Wil Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Easter weekend: PSD4 - last few out of the box have been ordinary. this one was great. CoRo - phenomenal cigar Party Lusi - loosish draw. boring. Overall, my faith in robustos was restored this weekend. Had so many crap, underfilled PSD4s lately.
PartagasIV Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Nice 08 Lusi while watching the NCAA basketball game. Picked up towards the end in body and strength.
thechenman Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Punch Serie D'Or No. 1 (2008) Exclusivo Reino Unido...started out like the Punch marca I love, but turned harsh and bitter after 2/3rds of the way through. Vey ugly mottled ash. Had to relight 3 times in the last third.
dicko Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 also had a maduro Padron 1964 series exclusivo. about as thick as a robusto but a little longer. very nice smoke but expensive for what it was. i also had the natural Padron 1964 series imperial, a long skinny (RIP Tampa) over easter and that was an absolute ripper! also expensive though. will post review soon
cigaraholic Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Living in the wrong country at the right time. Hoyo DC for the drive to the folks Mag 48 after Easter lunch El Principe driving my son to work Esplendido after dinner That's how this atheist celebrates Easter
Stalebread Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 I was prompted by the San Cristobal de la Habana, is there any love thread to try a Merceders from '06 yesterday afternoon. OK, it wasn't great but it wasn't bad, either. I guess that makes it . . . mediocre ?
samb Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 I had a great little JLP Brevas with sailor jerry. Getting ready for this wedding and honeymoon.
Kangaroo495 Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 Mag 48 - great potential. fantastic RG CE - nicotine bomb, also good potential
PADDYWHACK121272 Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 PSdC No.3 from a Czar discontinued sampler that I've been working my way through - absolutely glorious
PADDYWHACK121272 Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 Dip 4 with morning coffee - strange battle between earthiness and blasts of sweet tobacco - finally resolved in the last third - sweet tobacco won..yummy
Kangaroo495 Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 Partagas P2 - not overly impressive. Nice spice and pepper, but a bit capsicum-y if that makes any sense
thechenman Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 I've been away on vacation in the Bahamas, and enjoyed quite a few smokes this past week... Ramon Allones Gigante Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona Edmundo Dantes Conde 109 Cohiba Gran Reserva Partagas Chicos La Gloria Cubana Glorioso 2008 RE UK La Gloria Cubana Delicioso 2010 RE Cuba Havana Humidor Rioja Culebra Xikar HC Series Connecticut Shade Robusto Wish I would have had the time to enjoy even more cigars on the trip...
bunburyist Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 chenman what did you think of the LGC Glorioso? Only had one last winter and whilst the draw was a bit tight, I loved it. cracking cigar wish I had a box

Which impressed you the most? I had a couple excellent large cigars- excellent 97 BCG yesterday & an 08 QdeO Imperiale today. The Imperiale is stronger than most people think- at least this batch of 08s is.
thechenman Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 chenman what did you think of the LGC Glorioso?Only had one last winter and whilst the draw was a bit tight, I loved it. cracking cigar wish I had a box The Glorioso was an amazing cigar. Loved it...spades better than the new Delicioso for 2010 made for Cuba. I am looking into buying a box of the Gloriosos. Honestly the best LGC I've smoked.
thechenman Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 To be honest, my favorite cigar during vacation was the LGC Glorioso. Simply faboulous cigar. Of the large format, I preferred the HdM DC over the Edmundo Dantes and the RA Gigante. OF these three the Dante would have come in third.
PartagasIV Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 Smoked a magnificent '06 Bolivar Coronas Gigantes and now inspired by the recent review, the fourth to last of my 06 Partagas Shorts before bed.
