Well, entering the DANGER ZONE now...

In the beer world, it doesn't get much better than Rochefort 10.

I've seen multiple BOTLs saying these are smoking good young, so I took this FEB '19 beauty for a spin. Much too young, but with loads of potential imho. Flavors were hidden and muddled, although there were brief moments where the possibilities did shine through. Construction was solid. I do believe they will be a gem with more time.

This box has been hit or miss. This one is on point. Creamy, woody, floral and the spiced cloves I seem to get from them.

Goodish but just so strong, you have to take half puffs.

Montecristo No.4 UEB May 2018

You know the story with these by now (and Montecristo No.2's). When they are good, they can be exemplary but my goodness can they be 'bog-average' at times. Today's Montecristo No.4 was the sixth from the box and from memory the previous five were fantastic. Today's cigar was just ordinary.

In retrospect, whilst smoking it I thought to myself that it was okay...I could live with what it was offering me, which was very light cocoa, nut and a little citrus twang that keep me interested in the cigar. If only there was more quintessential Montecristo coffee and cocoa flavour in this then I know it would have been like the previous five (and that is unequivocally sensational!).

Oh no! Every one I've had so far has been amazing from the same box, sure I'm inline for a dud soon.

2017 Mag 54....based on flavor output, I find myself increasingly reaching for this little fatty...great HU flavors but with more body than its brethren

2015 Edmundo...complain all you want about montecristos, but I’ve had wonderful consistency from Edmundos and #2s from the 2015-2016 batches.


2015 E2...always good, sometimes ethereal. This one the former.

Turning the corner. Not sure they’ll ever achieve 109/54 status though a nice smoke.

Thanks West! I was fortunate to have a few weeks off on vacation leave recently.

I think I recall a specific thread last year about quality control in Habanos cigars. The consensus was that they are handmade products and so if you get something like 22 out of 25 being good to great, then you're cheering. 

The problem here is exacerbated by the fact that Montecristo No.2's and No.4's are so widely produced. You'll run into these ordinary ones from time-to-time.

First one from LMB Jul 18 box with much darker wrappers than my other box from May 18.

I'm really liking the May 18 box with the lighter wrappers right now. Smoking great and I think they will only get better with time, if they last that long. I probably won't fire up another of the dark wrappers for at least six months after the example today. I think those are going to be great but will need much more down time.

Not feeling this today. Decided not to finish it as it was just too acrid

A great Friday night. Trini robusto T from 2010 followed by BHK52
