Por Larrañaga Montecarlos LGR Oct 2017

At what point do you start going through a box of cigars, find it glorious, and then start to get concerned that you should get another to replace it? Also, at what point do you worry that you're going through the box too quickly?

In regards to the first question, despite hitting just the one-third mark of the box consumed, I am actually thinking about getting another box. In regards to the second, I think I'm not doing too badly as I've gone through eight magnificent smoking experiences from this box in 4 months...after all, averaging two cigars a month ain't bad if you've got no impetus to age the box!

This Por Larranaga Montecarlos was all caramel and honey around a coffee, wood and toast core...just wonderful! As I smoked it I reflected on the 2002 deleted Punch Ninfas and 2010 deleted Quai d'Orsay Panatelas and how good it would be to smoke a long and skinny like those again. I'm grateful that we have the Montecarlos around.

Ok.  This cigar was just awesome. I don’t love the size really, but it smoked like a much older cigar.  Second one I’ve smoked, first was just pretty good.  Regret smoking on the course a bit because I missed some complexity I know is there.  Phenomenal smoke.  95/96 pointer on a windy unfocused day.  No wonder they are a bit hard to find.

Getting after one now.. A second box will be found soon, I hope!

To be honest I cringe at the sight of ice cubes in Lagavulin 16, but I’ve  realized lately that there is something special about how Lagavulin/Laphroig/Ardbeg pairs with a twangy Cuban cigar. Cheers! 

Peat monster!!!!! Especially with heavy cigars like Bolis.!

In my smoking spot, by the grill. Enjoying a nice Reyes!

Not the first, but the first relaxed smoke at the new house. Thankfully, most stuff finally unpacked.

Por Larranaga Petit Corona

LGR ABR 18

Barely had these sticks a month, resting at 62RH.  I pulled out the driest one from my tupperdor. Suprised at how mild it is, caramel over light toast all the way from beginning to end.  

Last time I had one of these, 2 years ago, it was strong and rough, basically mongrel. That was my first time so I avoided it since. Thanks to 24:24, had to give it another go. This one behaved like an aged stick, a winner. I could smoke these all day long, and then switch to a full flavored marca like Bolivar or Partagas for a nightcap.

God I love Partagas.  A PSP D4 from EPM MAY 18.  Loosest band I've seen, I guess they're settling in nicely

Trying Quai d'orsay 54

I'm not usually a big fan of stuff that gets hyped up but I must say that after trying this one I totally understand all the hype. Quite mild (still alot of beautiful flavours) and creamy

Romeo y Julieta Exhibicion No.4 POU Jun 2013

In 2015, POU Jun 13 Romeo y Julieta Exhibicion No.4's were equivalent to Quai d'Orsay 50's at the present time, if you saw them on a 24:24 listing longer than half-a-minute you were very lucky indeed.

I picked up half-a-box towards the end of their peak selling cycle for I remember how fortunate I was to get them, they weren't around soon after. Fast forward a number of years and at just under six years of age I only have one left, but what a journey it's been over the years because these have been great cigars.

The cherry ripe is Australia's oldest confectionery bar. Established in 1924 by MacRobertson's, the bar was sold to English company Cadbury's in 1967 and is still around today, selling as well as it ever did and just as popular with Australian consumers as ever. The bar is coated in chocolate and has cherries and coconut inside. This combination closely resembles, in analogous terms, what this cigar was like to smoke and frankly, it was just as delicious!

Cherry, cream, cocoa and quality toasted tobacco...what more can one ask for from a mid-term aged Romeo y Julieta cigar? I smoked a Montecristo A one week ago and listed it as a contender for my cigar of the month for April, but this cigar just equaled it, in my opinion. Oh the dilemma...how long until I smoke my last one from the box, I wonder?
