havanaclub Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 Outside on the patio with my first HdM Le Hoyo de Rio Seco. 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. Mine are on the way, very excited. How do they compare to the SAN Juan as you are an expert with those lol.

Popular Post JohnS Posted July 18, 2019 Popular Post Posted July 18, 2019 La Puntilla Custom (thanks @El Presidente) The previous La Puntilla custom I had was both savoury and creamy, reminding me of an aged H.Upmann Connoisseur No.1. Rob has mentioned that the blend was aimed with a little Montecristo cocoa, a little Por Larranaga sweetness and nut and tonight, after being gifted this cigar by him (thank you kindly El Pres) he further mentioned that the creaminess in this is meant to peak around the 3-year mark. What a wonderful vitola this is at 40 ring gauge x 160 mm or 6¼ inches in length. This cigar was not as nutty or savoury as the La Puntilla I sampled six months ago. Rather, it was creamy all the way, with some cinnamon spice here and there to add to its superlative qualities. This custom cigar is a 'must-have' for those of you who are committed Habanos enthusiasts. If you get the opportunity to sample it in the future I know you'll be glad you did! 23

Popular Post El Hoze Posted July 18, 2019 Popular Post Posted July 18, 2019 BHK 56, have had a box and have never smoked one. Heard El Pres say the other day he hated the 56 so figured I’d try one. Not my favorite RG but great cigar off the bat I’d say. Then again, what do I know! 25
Popular Post MigsG Posted July 18, 2019 Popular Post Posted July 18, 2019 Thanks to @duabley for this 2010 Trinidad Short Robustos T. Oaky, slightly sweet floral tea with a hints of baking spice. Nice savory, clean aftertaste. Nubbed it! 26

Popular Post havanaclub Posted July 19, 2019 Popular Post Posted July 19, 2019 Why on earth HSA axed these, we will never know. Destroys a monte 4 all day long imo. HUPC TOS ENE 17 (probably the last box code) These are pure flavour bombs. Getting berry notes for sure with this sample. PSP ATE ABR 18 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 26

Popular Post Deeg Posted July 19, 2019 Popular Post Posted July 19, 2019 Rainy Friday morning C&C with a ULA JUL 14 BPC. Wrapper feels like my prewar Albert Micheal leather jacket. Loving the subtleties of a well-aged BPC - some tropical notes (banana?) in the first third. Yeasty bread, leather, cinnamon, clove. a bit of cedar. My only hitch with this box is the burn has been wonky on all 3 I've smoked - wrapper is stunning but maybe on the thicker side. 23
Popular Post Thirds Posted July 19, 2019 Popular Post Posted July 19, 2019 2018 Vigia Tubo. Young and spunky. 1st 3rd wood and nut are dominant. It has a spice to it that I’m really enjoying. Very smooth and abundant smoke. I get a sweet doughy (??) draw inconsistently but it’s delicious. First ever Trinidad but this won’t be my last. 20

Annoyed because he actually comissioned it. I should have taken payment in advance. ? It won’t last. If he asks me for it next month i hope to reply that it was sold. ?? 1
