Rupe Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Actually, in my car I’m not that refined.... I drop ash in a cup with a 1/2” of water in it And I NEVER set my stick down!! That ashtray I recently finished and had it in the car to deliver to a physician that had requested it and was supposed to buy it today. And then he backed out. Said “his girlfriend won’t let him buy anything right now”. What a story... I was just using it as a prop because it was there...What a beautiful ashtray! Would be perfect for the garage or man cave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted July 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2019 Sancho Panza Eslavo 2014 - Edición Regional Serbia (circa 2015 - thanks @ayepatz!) I humbly thank @ayepatz for the opportunity to smoke a cigar I never thought I'd have the chance to. The Sancho Panza Eslavo was released in 2015 as the first Serbian Regional Edition (and only one so far). Kalian Caribe is the distributor for the domestic and duty free market of Bulgaria, Albania, Armenia and Macedonia, Republic of Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Eslovenia. Faced with the choice of what marca to choose and vitola for this Regional Edition, most retailers would opt for safe choices such as a Petit Robusto or similar in the Ramon Allones (39 releases since 2005), Bolivar (32 releases since 2005) or Punch (22 releases since 2005) marcas. Sancho Panza is not a marca one associates with Regional Editions, and for that matter, neither is the Nro.109 size. Furthermore, distributing these in a 50 cab box had the hallmark for a marketing disaster, yet, the exact opposite occurred, 1000 boxes (some sources state 1200) of 50 cabs sold out quicker than the proverbial 'blink of an eye'. I believe it's this quality Nro.109 vitola that caught the eye of enthusiasts with this release. The dimensions of a 50 ring gauge cigar by 184 mm or 7¼ inches in length with its distinctive tapered head used to be the size of the Partagas Lusitanias and Ramon Allones Gigantes until 1976. In 1995 it came back with the Partagás 109 that was part of the 150 Aniversario Humidor, with repeat appearances in 2000 and 2010 for the 155th and 165th anniversaries, respectively. Hoyo de Moneterrey received a Lusitanias of its own in 1999 as part of the Siglo XXI Millennium Humidor, and then in 2003 the Hoyo de Monterrey Extravaganza used the format. Since that time it's been used in five Regional Editions: 2007 — Edmundo Dantes El Conde 109 (ER Mexico) 2009 — Bolívar 5ta Avenida (ER Alemania) 2011 — Punch Clasicos (ER Suiza) 2014 — Diplomáticos Bushido (ER Asia Pacifico) 2014 — Sancho Panza Eslavo (ER Serbia) (Source: https://halfwheel.com/sancho-panza-eslavo-er-serbia-2014/119439) Like the Diplomaticos Bushido released in the same year and with the same dimensions, the SP Eslavo was reputed and hyped at its original release date. Having smoked this one, how does it compare to a normal Sancho Panza release? Well, in comparison to an aged Sancho Panza Molinos, Non Plus or Belicosos, for example, you may expect some floral notes and/or creaminess, however, this Eslavos cigar was closest in character to a recent SP Belicocos. This was evident in the quality toasted tobacco and bread flavours, combined with the typical wood and salt one gets from Sancho Panza. One thing that was unique was the deeper roasted walnut or cashew nut flavour on this. If you ever have the chance to source this cigar, kindly do yourself a favour and don't deny yourself the opportunity. You'll be glad you were so kind to yourself! 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think it was that much larger in diameter than the San Juan initially, now lit up, yeah, it's bigger. Got my first box of these about 6 weeks ago, let them sit in my coolidor acclimating. Time to light one up. This is a nice blend, some cocoa, some cream, and right now a little mongrel, telling me they are quite young and need some time. Enjoyable smoke now, give them a few years, and I think these will be quite the cigar. HdM Rio Seco seems like to be one of the popular cigars in 2019! Is it better than San Juan or Especial? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
