Terrific smoke- don't remember where or how I got it, just that I've had it forever. Something fun about putting the flame to something you only have one of. Nice looking cigar ashtray. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bigbwalls Posted July 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2019 Bolivar Royal Corona - July 14 I've got about 8 left in the box. While it was never a great box, age has definitely made these more enjoyable. This started out muted and bland, but I’m about halfway through now and it’s opened up. I’m getting cloves, cream, and a sweet spice. Not the best Royal Corona I’ve had - but far from the worst. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MigsG Posted July 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2019 TES MAR 17 RyJ Exhibicion No. 4, thanks to @Thirds Just as El Prez described in the store. Powerful cherry front and center with light milk chocolate in the background. Towards the end of the final third, strong spice showed up. A jammy smoke. Just enjoyed this '17 Punch Regios de Punch EL 29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GeorgieP Posted July 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) Sitting I at my TJ apartment enjoying a Monte Linea listening to Bad Company. This - is - the best Monte I’ve ever had. Stay tuned for the rest of the smoke. Bought it as a single so unfortunately can’t tell you the box code. Update: the first third was very good and typical Monte flavor. I thought it was going to die for a second about half ways through but it revived itself. Could have been that it was a little windy. Second third started to get a little pepper but still had a good chocolate nutty flavor. Aroma was great the whole ways through. Last third I started to get a funky burn and had to relight, of course more pepper but no bite. All in all, definitely worth it .

Popular Post LLC Posted July 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2019 I still have some Sir Winnie’s from 2014 but cracked open a new box of MEL DIC 16 that I picked up in Havana in March of 2017. I had never seen a box of cigars so oily to the point you could see the outline of the oil from the cigar on the wax paper. Decided to give one a try so took it out a few days ago to have tonight. Quick clip of the very top of the cap showed a nice divot showing the care this cigar was rolled with. Not one relight and at one point I had to put it down a leave for about 10 minutes. Came back expecting to have to light it up again but took a puff and it was still going perfectly. Over all very good but quite mild until the end. Perfect construction and I think I’ll enjoy this box over the next 3-5 years and be rewarded with my patience.

Popular Post IanMcLean68 Posted July 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2019 HDM Des Dieux MER ABR13 Many thanks to @chr0nic (Ryan) for the very kind gift of this absolutely gorgeous Des Dieux! Gifted to me by Ryan during the last great Sydney get together, whilst @ayepatz was here. What a great night! My liver has thankfully recovered. Perfect draw and burn throughout with lots of smoke. Super smooth and creamy. Medium bodied throughout. Lightly spiced cream, cedar, slightly tannic hard woods that remind me strongly of African Walnut (wood) and oak, and lashings of vanilla. Hints of floral and umami notes. I love the creaminess, woodsy nature and vanilla forwardness of the Des Dieux. The aroma of this cigar is second to none. Has all the Le Hoyo trademark flavours, in what I believe the best balance and the most complex delivery of the Le Hoyo line. Easily 96/100. PS: It looks like Ryan hasn't logged into FOH for about 2 years. Perhaps this post can lure him back to the forum! 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ciscojohansson Posted July 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2019 Some recent aged smokes and the first time I tried any of these cigars. Monte no. 1 2006. Great creamy, smooth and slight chocolate flavour. Partagas shorts 2014. Wow, what a cigar, I am buying a 50 cab. This is the perfect short smoke. VR Don Alejandro 2007. My first DC and it was beautiful but the draw tightend in the last third. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
