FOH'ers Daily Smoke

[Kaptain Karl]

First Connie 1 out of a 2017 HQ box and surprisingly, it needs more rest! Some lovely flavors are getting beat up by some harshness. 

Surprisingly, the May ‘18 mag46’s out of a clearance box are smoking the freaking house down!!! 92 pointers easy. They have lighter wrappers but with a lively sheen that are giving them a killer flavor profile. Lots of nuts, leather,  licorice and cream with a little raspberry. Lovely!

'13 Perlas thanks to @crking3 

Dark coffee, cream and a hint of vanilla in a cigar.

2016 RASS.  Great draw and burn.  Flavors of toasty tobacco, espresso, some baking spices and a little twang.  Couple years of rest did these well.

Yowza... D-licious. I’m not normally a huge fan of the D4. With Partagas I tend to go big (Lusi) or small (Short). This was a gift, unknown age and box code, I’d guess four or five years old. It was a great smoke. Thick, fragrant clouds of sweet smoke. The classic sourdough, plain cake, paprika and cream. No pepper, just a touch of vegetal. Solid medium body. Look at that beautiful ash. And the smoking gods held the rain off... just.

RG getting a good showing today... petit corona SOM MAR 17 here, smoking grrreat.

Meh. CORO from a duty-free three pack, probably 2018. Looks fine, ok draw, bit of a raggedy burn, but just not very tasty. The family’s favourite dog shits on the rug again - or at least farts in the living room.

Couldn't resist trying one of these gorgeous ULA JUL 14 BPCs ROTT (Japan is close enough to Australia and the local customs and post so efficient that they only spent about 4 days in transit, door to door).  They look good enough to eat, and taste as good as they look.  With a wrapper this dark and shiny I'd worry about them needing time if they were younger, but that's where the pre-aging comes in of course.  The middle third had some of that nice caramel depth which soon added a vanilla layer, presenting what I can only describe as butterscotch.  The last third started to have burn issues, unsurprisingly as I gave them no time to settle, but apart from that a cracker.

Ohhh man that got me excited for my box! I should have bought 2!

Look at those wrappers, man...

Butterscotch is an element I rarely get in cigars, or bourbons that aren't dusty (like old WT 12-year and National Distillers stuff) but I love it when I do get it.

2016 Vigia....every one from this box has been awesome...for me these are fuller and more satisfying than the Trovas....but same flavor profile


2017 or 2018. (I forget)
These guys seem to be making a comeback. The old gold bands from the 1990s were my favorites.

I love those old style kissaten ashtrays.

San Cristóbal de la Habana El Príncipe TOS Jun 2016

I lit this up after having a very bland Montecristo Line 1935 Maltes and thought to myself that the old reliable SCdLH El Principe flavour hit from the first few puffs was quite a charm. Sadly, this was a false dawn. I got some sweet molasses and muted cocoa and coffee and the cigar just didn't pick up from that whatsoever.

Still, it was not totally bland and it was much better than the Maltes. I chalk this El Principe cigar to having 'one of those days'. Yes, we all have them. The good news is that the El Principe is rarely like this for me and so I look forward to the next one.

La Puntilla DEC 2018

Friday afternoon vibes. Delicious Pilsner and a JRAD concert on the speakers to go with my first ever Puntilla. Bits of Por Larrañaga and Trinidad coming through this first third.

ETA: If only every cigar could be like this at 6 months’ age. This cigar is FIRE! Cigar of 2019 for me so far. Already a 96/100 through the first two thirds. 2nd third was a Policeman’s dream - all sugar doughnut dipped in black coffee and buttered toast. Still got mostly Trinidad DNA
