Connoisseur Kim Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Tried this PC from LFD. Friend told me it would blow my mind... Surprise: It did not. Put it out half way through, lit up a party short instead. I admittingly like air benders, so I guess I can see why he thought I'd like it. But only because of the cinnamon and citrus blast on the retrohale, and nothing else. This was too strong and left a bad aftertaste. But, we'll see how they do with some age. This is why my stock is 95% CC. Much agreed! This is the reason why I really like CCs (I've never tried NCs before but I'm sure that NCs aren't likely being floated on my boat unlike trustworthy CCs due to the same reason as yours)! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post havanaclub Posted April 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2019 Home from a wedding and enjoying a medio Siglo. Cracked a new box and giving these a whirl. My 17s are definitely better but this box will likely be just as good. Just need some more time down.

Popular Post Connoisseur Kim Posted April 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2019 Had JL #2 from weekday sampler as break time cigar. I actually prefer RASS over this by slight margin but I have to admit that it is definitely one of the greatest CC Robustos as well as Coffee and Cocoa bomb! Total Time Spent: 1hr 30mins (longer than my usual time allocation for Robustos) 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted April 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2019 La Gloria Cubana Revolution 2015 - Edición Regional Asia Pacifico SGA Nov 2015 The La Gloria Cubana Revolution is an Asia Pacifico Regional Edition release that followed the Diplomaticos Bushidos. Although listed as a 2015 release, like the Bushidos, it didn't hit the market until the following year, in the case of the Revolution, around mid-2016. Following the actualised hype of the Bushidos, this was a tough act to follow. Not unsurprisingly, the Revolution is not as acclaimed as the Bushidos, but reviews haven't been that bad either, flavour-wise. I split a box of these in 2016 with cigar enthusiasts and since it was a La Gloria Cubana vitola, I felt I really needed to give these time prior to sampling one. How did it turn out? Similarly to other reviews on our forum, this was white-ashed, suffered construction issues and was not short on flavour. The cigar started out perfectly mild, smooth and floral but very soon after regressed into a much stronger cigar, with flavours of cream coffee, wood and lots of pepper, which suggests to me that the ligero leaves in this need more time. There was a knot of bunched leaves up one half of the cigar which induced an uneven burn and revealed some tunneling, so maintaining a consistent ash around the midway point proved difficult. The final third saw the wrapper unbind and it was at this point that I thought it best to let it go and look forward with anticipation to the next one. And when will that be? In my mind, at the very minimum, 18 months. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UEB AGO 18 Dip Nortenos RE . This was very good for such a young cigar. Just a little clipped of the top. After the old pump in the pond gave out after 17 years; got the new one up and running. Still some work to be done with the pond but so far so good. ARG ABR 14 Sir Winnie. Near perfect construction and overall great cigar.

Popular Post THEMISCHMAN Posted April 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2019 16 HUPC while getting the grill cleaned up to take over to our friends house to help out with their Easter party. My buddy isn’t a regular smoker but I always bring him a decent cigar. It cracks me up smoking with him because he powers through them so fast. I think he finished the RG Perlas in about 15 minutes. I had a MUR OCT 12 Superiores while grilling up some chicken and dogs for the kids. I think he was already through the first third by the time I got to this point. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
