8 Years later, this AB, is absolutely amazing right now.

Enjoyed this flavor bomb yesterday courtesy of @Buck14. Completely different flavor profile from regular production Quai D'orsay. It was outstanding.

Morning PLPC MAR 17 from a PSP CAB. Admittedly the PL is not the prettiest of cigars but.... the flavors to die for. I selected this by weight so Construction and draw are perfect. Smoking great right now at 92/100 I thinks. She probably will make me cry in a couple more years. Cheers

Went to the humidor and decided to go with something a little different today. Apparently it's pretty rare(who really knows) I've never seen it before, but pretty flavorful stick, bit of clove at the beginning. Construction decent, draw perfect. Rather enjoyable so far

JohnS, does it seem to you that Famosos should be enjoyed younger vs much older (i.e. over 3 years)? I have had fantastic Famosos that were a year-2 years aged, that displayed that dark chocolate profile. 

I think that if you enjoy that chocolate and raisin-sweetness profile, which is indicative of Vegas Robaina less than 3 years, then enjoy them younger. For me personally, I wouldn't want to go too much past the 5 year mark with chocolate or cocoa-dominate marcas as a rule (but of course there are exceptions such as the Montecristo Especial and Especiales No.2). I've had one or two more Famosos from this box since then and they've all had that peculiar and unique 'pure tobacco' or grassiness that @99call has alluded to in his posts on our forum from time-to-time, and I've come to become accustomed to it and favour it, yet I don't mind these younger with more chocolate either.

Diplomáticos No.2 EML Ago 2014

You may have heard the story, which some hold to contention, that the Diplomaticos marca was introduced post-revolution in the mid-1960's as a cheaper alternative to the Montecristo marca for the French market. Whether this is true or not, one thing I do know is that the vitolas that came out in the Diplomaticos line resembled the Montecristo No's 1 to 5 in their dimensions, but whereas those original Montecristo vitolas are still in production, unfortunately, only the Piramide Diplomaticos No.2 remains with us today.

I find the Diplomaticos No.2 can be either a little sweet in its cinnamon, nutmeg and wood expression or alternatively, it can be a little savoury when it's more sourdough, paprika spice and capsicum (or bell pepper). I've enjoyed a few La Corona TOS/LGR Diplomaticos No.2's in the last few years and so recently I felt it was time to call down my box from my OLH of these EML Ago 14 Diplomaticos No.2's to compare how these cigars are when a little older.

This Diplomaticos No.2 was full of flavour, especially sourdough. The difference with the age of the cigar lay in the fact, that after almost 5 years, it was mild and so the paprika spice and capsicum which intertwined with that core sourdough didn't overpower my palate. In fact, it was very pleasant to draw down on this cigar and nub it to its conclusion. Coupled with the excellent construction that was evident, I very much look forward to next cigar from this box and soon!

Juan Lopez No. 2 - Jan 18

 

This has been a phenomenal box. Each cigar has burnt and drawn beautifully. I’ve tried to resist them so I can see what some age does to them but it’s been tough - they’re too good now.

Fundy SLE SEP 16.  Construction and draw perfect and smoking great.  Still have about 3/4 of this box left.

Custom cigar rolled by Hamlet from a batch I got from him in Havana a number of years ago. Maybe the best cigar I’ve had this year. Almost perfect in every way.

From the "famous" PLM May 11 code. Very good. Shortbread. Toasted tobacco. Slight spice. I'm no expert but I think this has legs still.

I have a week of starting the day with Mr. Ramon behind me. Some of them were quite disappointing.. Especially the Canadian ones. The RASS was a MUR MAR13, very good. The Andean wasn't bad and the H&F was probably the best Ramon RE I've smoked. Glad I finally got to try it, its been on my list for a couple of years now.

OBM APR 17 Parti Super Partagas 

For a cheap smoke this is definitely cheerful.  I get lightly sweetened coffee and tobacco.  The burn has been perfect and the sweetness gradually builds.  Thanks @MigsG for introducing me to it.  This one is exceeding expectations.

A very generous gift. Still stellar.

Second one from a 6 pack. First was pretty one dimensional but was structurally sound. This one was a fight to keep lit, but the flavors were good.  Here's hoping 3 through 6 are the ideal blend of the 2 experiences thus far.

@Hollywood Ninja mine should be here tomorrow and I see this. Might have to fire one off quick. Really looking forward to it after so many recommendations.
