Partagas Anejados 2007(?), comp prize from back in October last year. Thanks FoH!
Excellent from start to finish, Partagas through and through, strong, flavourful and very satisfying after a morning working on the garden furniture. Cut through the smell of linseed oil that now permeates SW London.

Love a nice rainy morning. I feel that this RASS got a little too much volado, unfortunately (definitely sitting at mild for a RASS). But for an early smoke with the morning dew aromas, it blended out to a nice herbal tea flavor with earthy clay and some dark fruits tucked away.

Montecristo Leyenda UBM Sep 2018

This is my second Montecristo Leyenda in the last six months. Below are my notes from the first one...

"This Montecristo Leyenda is part of the new Linea 1935 series, a group of three cigars (the others are the Dumas and Maltes) which are the Montecristo version of the Cohiba Behike series. Its dimensions are identical to the 2017 Montecristo 80th Aniversario release, that is big...55 ring gauge by 165 mm in length. These have been marketed as been fuller in strength (or is it flavour, or possibly both?), but I found this to be suitably medium to medium-mild. Sure, it wasn't as light as an Especiales No.2, for example, but it was nowhere near as strong as some Petit Edmundos or even Montecristo No. 4's I've had.

The reason this cigar was so, so good, in my opinion, was the milk chocolate and cream flavour which dominated the first two thirds. There was also some underlying cedar, which was a little sweet, almond nut and, in my opinion, similarly to the Edmundo Dantes Belicosos, some hints of marshmallow. I was even able to retrohale into the final third, where I was able to get some white pepper. Pepper wasn't really evident throughout the first two-thirds and there was just a little in the last third. The one thing that I must add is how I underestimated how long it would take to smoke this, it must have been at least two-and-a-half hours! Glorious and deserving of high praise indeed!"

This Leyenda was even milder than my first one and took around the same time to finish. There was no pepper notes at the end but flavours were similar. Again, (it was) a great smoke!

Reyes. It seems to pair quite well with a glass of chocolate milk.

@JohnS can I make a suggestion?  Especially with you being a senior member and a mod.  Can you move all of your reviews to a separate page and topic.  You have great reviews and love to use them as a reference.  Would love if everything was in one spot from you so I can see.  I am sure all other members agree your awesome at reviews.

Thank you kindly. Incidentally, I reflected on this today as I caught up with Trevor Leask, the founder of Cuban Cigar Website. These little mini-reviews began innocently enough as a expression of gratitude for receiving cigars to sample. Some of them have been aged, Limited or Regional Editions, discontinued or simply rare and much sought after. As a result, I figured that the information I gleaned from smoking them would benefit other enthusiasts too.

Leave it with me. I intend to investigate if exporting posts collectively with FoH's technical staff assistance is possible, otherwise, I'll explore other options.

John, it would be great if it can be done. Always looking forward to your reviews. Thank you.

Romeo and Julieta - Cedros de Luxe No. 2 (ASO MAY 16). I initially bought these for long term aging as MRN suggests these have great aging potential. But when I got the box last year I found half of the sticks in the box had a little mold on the wrapper. Nothing that can't be brushed off and make them smokeable but enough that I fear keeping them with the rest of my stock and let them age. So I've been keeping them in a separate ziploc with a boveda. So I'm probably just gonna go through the box during this summer or the following. I think that I read somewhere on the forum here that this is a common problem with cedar wrapped sticks. Too bad though as I would have loved to see how these would be smoking 20 years down the line provided I would still be living at that time.

Continuing my R&J theme today with this Cazadores (GAT SEP 13). Just lighting it I can tell from the smell of the smoke that this one is going to be a lot more powerful than the Cedros de Luxe No. 2 smoked earlier.

That Punch from the jar was divine.

This gifted Opus X isn’t bad either - I think it’s a Magnum O?

First Juan Lopez No1 for me, from the Corona sampler. Rested for 3 months.

Really really nice, a solid 90pts.
