Popular Post JohnS Posted August 21, 2019 Popular Post Posted August 21, 2019 Diplomáticos No.2 EML Ago 2014 This is my third from this box and as its now right on 5 years rested I got some nice flavours out of this cigar and a little complexity between the two halves. I think smoking this on a sunny winter's afternoon really helped as it was both smooth and there was plenty of smoke output per draw. The first half gave me some wondrous sourdough and light coffee, perhaps the best sourdough flavour I've ever got out of a Diplomaticos cigar, excepting the 2014 Bushido of course. Toward the beginning of the second third I reflected on the lack of capsicum (or bell pepper) and spice, but by the middle of the cigar the capsicum flavour took over and towards the end of the second third I got a nice strong hit of paprika spice. There was no issue nubbing this and the aftertaste on my palate resonated for quite a few hours thereafter! 31
Popular Post wineguy Posted August 21, 2019 Popular Post Posted August 21, 2019 Connie A MEG JUN 16. I know I should be giving these more time but they are so good. Great mottled wrapper and smoking great. About a third of the way through the box. These are one of my current favorites. 26

Popular Post Burningman Posted August 22, 2019 Popular Post Posted August 22, 2019 Party PCE ASE SEP 10. The pic is blurry because as I was taking it my buddy got some action on his pole. I nearly dropped my cigar off the pier as I fumbled around getting the net in the water. We threw him back. It was a beautiful day to enjoy a cigar and fishing at Aptos State Park in CALIFORNIA 23
Guest Nekhyludov Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 Papo Lancero for me tonight, since it finally cooled off enough to tolerate being outside.

Popular Post havanaclub Posted August 22, 2019 Popular Post Posted August 22, 2019 Monte Leyenda. Thanks FoH for this wonderful cigar I received in a contest, one of my favourites. Figured a México regional in Mexico would be fitting on my wife’s 40th. Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 28
Popular Post HuffnPuffff Posted August 22, 2019 Popular Post Posted August 22, 2019 Tried some Belgian beers with this Juan Lopez Seleccion No 1 to try to bring out the orange-esque flavours of the cigar.A Hoegaarden was too watery, but the De Koninck Tripel D’Anvers was a great match. 24

Popular Post RDB Posted August 22, 2019 Popular Post Posted August 22, 2019 RG Perla from GOS MAY 18. Such fabulous rich flavour in this tiny smoke. Burnt sugar, touch of leather, molasses and vegetal earth. Smokes slowly: heavy stick for the size. Wish they made a Corona Gorda! 23
Popular Post JohnS Posted August 22, 2019 Popular Post Posted August 22, 2019 Sancho Panza Non Plus ABR Sep 2011 This is the first Sancho Panza Non Plus I've smoked since the 2019 deletions have been announced through 5ta Avenida and I feel some mixed emotions. Firstly, a little mournful that yet another Petit Corona is getting the 'chop' and secondly, completely unsurprised that the Non Plus will leave the Sancho Panza marca down to one vitola (the Belicosos) as it has never been a big seller. Heck, I doubt it's ever been a 'average sales' cigar either. This was thankfully 'spot on' in regards to the draw and construction was fine, there were no issues with the burn. The cigar was mainly wood and salt and in terms of strength, it had plenty of legs in it, there was no hint of floral notes or creaminess one associates with aged Sancho Panza. I'm down to my last few now and I envisage I will pick up another box for prosperity sake quite soon. 24

I think I have one in the ready box and may have to smoke it later. 2
