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.

 

My uncle and cousin smoke like that, drives me nuts lol

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.

 

@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.

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.

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.
