FOH'ers Daily Smoke

Cohiba Siglo III SOM Nov 2016

The Siglo III is and remains my favourite of the linea 1492 series. The reason is simple, the vitola is 42 ring gauge by 155 mm (or 6.1 inches) in length and that is the ideal cigar size for me. Its just a shame that only the Montecristo Tubos and Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo des Dieux have similar dimensions!

I can't help but feel that this Siglo III had the strongest combination of citrus and grass/hay I've ever encountered, something akin to lemongrass. This flavour, with some honey sweetness was there from beginning to end. There was no gentle flavours such as vanilla, nor any real cream texture to the smoke, rather this was medium-mild lemongrass and honey all the way.

I was fine with the cigar overall, especially as it's only 2½ years old. When they are like this, you know to rest them a little longer as those sweeter flavours will build with time.

Yep...also Epi 2 Reserva Cosecha (no different than regular production). I have aging cabinets of DCs that are consistently bland, Especials...bland. The San Juans from time to time display some amazing character (stone fruits), but very inconsistently. Just not a great Marca for me. 

Have you had any of them with orange juice?  That was the difference for me.  Brought out the flavors that I couldn't taste.

RAE JUN 15 Party Short. Pulled out one from an older cab than the one I normally smoke from and it was great.

Been away too long, my friends!

Warmer weather and a reprieve from work have brought me back.

Rafael Gonzales 88 (SOM DIC 16). Another great cigar from that mustachioed maestro [mention=30303]Luca[/mention]. On an unseasonably cold, wet May evening what better than dark Nutella on toast over blackcurrant? Absolutely perfect. Thanks mate!

Figured I’d get another one in before everyone gets home. This was a really enjoyable Exhibition No. 4 from @MD Puffer.

Romeo y Julieta Churchills OBM Dic 2016

Similarly to the last cigar I had, the Cohiba Siglo III, I had big expectations for this cigar but was surprised that it dominated in some flavours and not others. You see, the Romeo y Julieta Churchill has not let me down for some time, I think at least the last seven or eight over 12 to 18 months have been great to sensational, but they've all been cherry-laden. This just wasn't 'fruity' really, but I still enjoyed the other flavour that defined it, anise (or alternatively a close similar comparison would be licorice).

And like the Siglo III, the anise was the core flavour from beginning to the end, with some elements of sweet turkish delight, rosewater and toasted tobacco. It still had that Romeo y Julieta 'DNA flavour' to keep me interested and I still nubbed it.

Oh, but if only I had some cherries (or even some berry flavours)!

Yolanda Corona Extra/Dalito

Trinidad meets H. Upmann in flavors in the first half and some RyJ mixing into it in the second half, the whole thing with Bolivar strength.  Cinnamon sugar doughnuts dipped in Irish Cream and Cappucino in the first half that turns to cake doughnut and Amaretto in the second half.  No distinctive youth until the last 2 inches.
