FOH'ers Daily Smoke

[TTP21]

5 days ROTT. Awesome smoke. At 24:24 price, just an absolutely incredible value.  Regretting my decision to only get 1/4 and not the 50 cab. 

BRO MAR 18.  6 days ROTT. First from the box. Initially classic RyJ, then harsh for about an inch. Settled into a stronger RyJ than I'm used to. Cherry, Nuts, Strong Espresso, Burnt Carmel - lots of flavors.  Packed a punch too!  Letting the rest sit for 30-60 to see if it mellows out a bit.

Needed to clean old stock Olivia Série V Belicosa sun grown pretty solid. Coffee , woody, spice and smooth. Medium to full and great draw. Paired with a dry aged NY strip and Ribeye. And of course and axe man. If you don’t know about the axe man do yourself a favor and buy a four pack 

 

cheers 

That Oliva V Marca is one of my favorite NC smokes. I still have a box from 10+ years ago? should be interesting. Love the Duvel glass!

2424 from a year ago. SIGLO V REG NOV 2017. I’m old school. Love Lanceros. These are what Cohiba supposed to be,,,Leather Earthy goodness. Youthful edge is gone... Is the future bright? No ,,,,because I’m smoking the rest of these right now. Cheers

MSU Nov 18 PSP from 24. Still young, but wow, what a great cigar. Should have bought a box.

A fundy and a brewski to top off a productive day of semi-serious home maintenance.

This is good to know. On Friday night I smoked the first from my box off the same PSP offering, but it was my second cigar of the night...after a fair bit of rum. I'm happy to hear I found it enjoyable ?

LRE DIC 09 Imperiales

Zeroing in on a decade, it had all the complex character you'd expect from an aged QdO... sweet cedar, light vanilla/cinnamon, baking bread. Good Stuff, Excellent smoke!

Another LGR JUL 17 El Principe. Reliably delicious and surely one of the great value smokes. Sweet and complex.

Cohiba Siglo I box code TOR DIC 16 thanks to @MigsG.  Forgot to take a picture before smoking it.  Delicious stick.  All the good things about Cohiba: lemongrass and hay, strong smoke production, almost an hour for the little guy.  Nubbed it.  Would definitely buy a box!

Sautter Conti (thanks @Luca)

If you're familiar with Sautter Customs, then you'd know that they come in huge sizes, and this is no exception. The YouTube video of this Sautter Conti custom Habanos cigar lists it as 60 ring gauge x 203 mm. The length is correct but the ring gauge is actually bigger...64 ring gauge or exactly 1 inch in diameter.

This cigar is name after Laurence Davis' friend Chris Contogouris, a Los Angeles-based Producer who liked the Super Mario custom but bemoaned that it was over just as you began to get into stride with it. The Super Mario is also 64 ring gauge but half the length at 101 mm.

How do you cut this thing? Luckily I have a Xikar XO cutter, not only does it do precise cuts, it handles these bigger cigars with aplomb! Xikar states that their latest cutter handles 64 ring gauge and may even go up to 70 ring gauge!

The Super Mario Custom was like a Partagas Serie D No.4, full of pepper and spice and took around 75 to 80 minutes to smoke. I figured therefore that this Conti Custom should have taken somewhere around 2 1⁄2 to 2 3⁄4 hours. Alas, this was nowhere near the case. Surprisingly, this was so mild and so easy on flavours that I finished it after 90 minutes! To me it was like a Partagas Lusitanias, only slightly tweaked and amplified, so that the sourdough really dominated with some coffee and leather flavours mixed in. But make no mistake, flavour-wise, this was one-dimensional and Luca, who I must acknowledge in gifting me this cigar, smoked this at the same time as me and stated how he was in danger of becoming bored with it towards the end, as I must confess I did too.

At least Luca had fun with a very, very long ash which lasted just short of 4 inches. Even my ash-lengths were around 2 inches each and construction and leaf quality was outstanding.

These Siglos have been good to me!  Glad you enjoyed it.  Pretty darn tasty.

Taking a break from the double-banders with this stellar RASS from 2011.

ALO Aug 16. I'm not a fan of the figurado in general, but the couple of Presidentes I've had have been absolute flavor bombs. Near the top of my list flavor wise. I just wish I could get over the shape.
