Popular Post CampDelta369 Posted August 18, 2019 Popular Post Posted August 18, 2019 Review PSD4 weekend PLMC ROTT. Real firm draw but hesitant to ram a PD tool into it. Besides my fingers find a plug close to foot. A profound sweetness to start. Cheers 28

Popular Post THEMISCHMAN Posted August 18, 2019 Popular Post Posted August 18, 2019 MSU AGO 18 Partagas Serie E No. 2. Very nice Claro wrappers, the construction is excellent and the burn has been almost perfectly straight. I’m getting all the flavors that I enjoy from a good Partagas. This is the second out of this box of five and both have been exceptional. MSU seems to be quite a good code from what I’ve seen here on the forum. I have some UAO with darker wrappers so I’ll have to pull a box of those out and see how they compare. 28

Popular Post JohnS Posted August 18, 2019 Popular Post Posted August 18, 2019 Juan López Selección No.2 MEL Dic 2016 The Juan Lopez Seleccion No.2 has been a forum favourite in the last 2 years, having enjoyed a resurgance only bettered by the re-branding of the Quai d'Orsay marca. I tend to find them a little too strong for my liking when in their youth, although today's example seemingly 'turned-a-corner' from this box. Despite being two-and-a-half years old, the first third of this cigar was the first time I got such a strong orange citrus and chocolate flavour from the 'get-go' out of four cigars smoked from the box. My palate very much connected with this profile. Towards the end of the first third I got an uneven burn develop in the wrapper and unfortunately it didn't self-correct this time, so I touched it up, but thankfully I needed no more re-lights. At this point I picked up strong notes of white pepper and espresso coffee, although still with a little orange citrus and chocolate. The final third was all toasted tobacco and it got a little more intense in flavour delivery, yet I still had no issue smoking this down, I didn't finish it early as overall it was a good smoke. With a quarter of the box consumed (as I have given away three for other cigar enthusiasts to enjoy), I can safely say that these need more time down for me as the cigar was medium-full to full in strength in the back half and I much prefer them milder. I look forward to re-visiting them in a year or two. 27

Popular Post Baccy Posted August 19, 2019 Popular Post Posted August 19, 2019 What's left of a CORO from 08, and a damn fine smoke it was! HU #2 Reserva, one of the best smokes I've had in years, as it should be. The aroma of the smoke is amazing, like sweet cedar/nutmeg and cinnamon. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk 30
Popular Post LLC Posted August 19, 2019 Popular Post Posted August 19, 2019 Just back from a vacation and along the way I picked up a Juan Lopez Supreme ER Canada 2011 at a cigar shop. I’ve had and have a number of different Canadian regionals but I wasn’t even aware of this one. About a third of the way in and it is very good so far. Makes me think I should be aging JL2’s longer.

Given several away and smoked maybe 4-5. They do seem to be improving but I get too much pepper for my liking. I am always wondering if I got a dud box as so many on here talk about how good they are, even with younger box codes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
