Popular Post JohnS Posted July 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2019 Bolívar Belicosos Finos LMB Feb 2019 I enjoyed a BBF a few weeks ago so I decided to have another today. Similarly to my previous one, this had a soft marshmallow and light cocoa texture which made it a dream to smoke, coupled with a maltiness which really appealed to me. Again, like my previous BBF, it got a little 'earthy' in the end, perhaps a little leather but unlike my previous one of these, it wasn't really too creamy nor did it exhibit any nutmeg. The aftertaste resonated on my palate for a few hours afterwards. What a great way to spent a weekend afternoon! 29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Islandboy Posted July 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2019 It’s throwback Thursday. Dug into a long neglected box of Anejo 48’s, now 5 years old. Very good and quite smoothed out. I don’t even burn any nose hairs on the retrohale. 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got a box of '14's from the auction that I'm patiently waiting to crack open after they rest a bit. Previously never had one more than 2 years old, and loved them, so I'm quite anxious to try my 14's. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted July 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2019 Por Larrañaga Coronas 2017 - Edición Regional 5ta Avenida 2018 (thanks @ayepatz!) 5ta Avenida (or Quinta Avenida) is Spanish for 5th Avenue. It's also the name of the distributor of regional Edition cigars for Germany, Austria and Poland. This 2017 Por Larranaga Petit Coronas was released in September 2018 and this cigar came from the same box that Rob and Ken smoked from for their recent video review (thanks to our dear friend @ayepatz for gifting us these cigars), a review where they sang the praises of this latest release from 5ta Avenida. If you are familiar with these releases from this distributor, then you'd know that the first three have been reputable - the La Gloria Cubana Glorias (2015), the Bolívar Tesoro (2016), the Por Larrañaga Coronas (2017). The fourth release, the upcoming 2018 Punch Preferidos is due sometime in 2019. There are two things that I greatly admire about this release and they are the dimensions of the cigar and the packaging. Firstly, the cigar is a Coronas vitola at 42 ring gauge x 142 millimetres (or 5.6 inches). This vitola has been decimated in the last 20 years by Habanos S.A. There are only three left in regular production, the Montecristo No.3, Romeo y Julieta Cedros de Luxe No.2 and the Quai d’Orsay Coronas Claro. Secondly, this comes in the classic 50 cab SLB; again, a packaging size that is no longer as prevalent as in the past. The draw on this coronas was perfect and the cold draw had quality hay and barnyard notes. The cigar wrapper was a glorious Colorado claro, and it had a sheen and suppleness common to what I've seen on some Cohiba wrappers. The cigar screamed caramel and honey from the 'get-go' and it simply did not let up. I got this pronounced flavours well into the second third. Naturally the cigar got a little more intense in the last third, maybe a little more 'woody' but honestly, not that much. Overall, it made me wonder how they got that much caramel and honey in a Por Larranaga at such an early stage of its development. By comparison, I would expect that I would need 3 more years of rest on my 5-year old Por Larranaga Petit Coronas 50 Cab to come close to matching it. If you are able to pick up a cab from this distributor, do so and without hesitation. What a wondrous smoking experience this was! 24 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that HSA is producing cigars that smoke better younger than previously, I wonder if this has something to do with it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...and possibly saving quality seco leaf for limited productions such as this one, which one can objectively understand from a business point of view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
