FOH'ers Daily Smoke

My first Sancho Panza Belicoso thanks to@inter4alia. Definitely a unique flavor profile. I can relate to the salt and driftwood descriptions. I guess I’m gonna have to keep my eye out for more of these.

H. Upmann No.2 LUB May 2014

This had just hit the 5-year mark so it was time to re-visit it. The H.Upmann No.2, like its Montecristo No.4-sized sadly discontinued brother, the H.Upmann Petit Corona, can be fuller-bodied when youthful. For that reason, I like to age these cigars to bring out their shortbread cream flavour, but it takes time...for me, typically 5 years.

Like the Montecristo No.2, the H.Upmann No.2 is a torpedo cigar (52 ring gauge x 156 mm) but I wouldn't envisage that it sells anywhere near the volume of Montecristo No. 2's annually. It's not because of their blend either, the H.Upmann No.2 is a fine-tasting cigar, rather it simply a matter of brand appeal...the Montecristo No.2 is much more well-known.

This Upmann No.2 has settled nicely around the 5-year mark. It was a touch over medium-mild, had a nice combination of shortbread, coffee and cedar and it surprised me with a hint of powdered cocoa at times. I envisage that the blend will become more creamy with age and I look forward to sampling the next one.

I needed to get some yard work done today so thought I would grab a N/C for some company while I worked.  Holy Moly this was a good pick.  So good that I ended up sitting down to enjoy it.  Superb cigar, beautiful construction and burn.  The smoothest retrohale on any N/C I can remember smoking.  Very enjoyable.  I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!

H. Upmann Connoisseur No.1 PLM May 2011

There was a time a few years ago when PLM May 2011 H.Upmann Connoisseur No.1's used to sell like 'crazy' on 24:24 listings when they invariably came up. After sampling this last one from the box, it's easy to understand why...they are both simple and simply satisfying in general.

The Connoisseur No.1 is almost a Robusto. It's a Hermosos No.4 size, 48 ring gauge x 127 mm or 5 inches in length. This Connie 1 had typical Upmann flavours...shortbread, coffee, a little cedar and dashings of white pepper which, for me, perfectly counter-balanced the other flavours and kept the cigar interesting for me all the way. This was a 'no-brainer' to nub. What a pity I have none left! Oh well, c'est la vie!

I bought all the boxes I could of these gems with the "PLM MAY 11" box code and "USE NOV 11" box code back in 2014.  

Lucky I still have one whole box of the "PLM MAY 11" and almost four boxes of the "USE NOV 11".

Enjoy! They just seem to get better around this stage of their development.

Good day.

UPE MAR 13 Noellas. Very good.



BME AGO 11 Cohiba 1966 to celebrate the Raptors win to advance to the NBA finals. First time I’ve reached into this box for a long time and it was one of the best cigars I’ve had this year. Started it with an Americano but once I realized how good it was I grabbed some Santiago de Cuba 20 year rum.

I had an unexpected dead battery in my Explorer today. Wouldn’t you know that the only repair shop that I could find open was across the street from a cigar lounge?





Too much free time to cook. I need to get back to work!

A beautiful, if not still young, PSP graded Upmann No. 2 from 2015. The wrapper is special. It’s like touching silk.

'12 Perlas, thanks to @encephalization

Woody, dark coffee, slight milkiness. I once had a 5 pack ROTT 3 years ago. Didn't like it. I've changed my mind!
