FOH'ers Daily Smoke

BRA AGO 13 Punch Punch 

Again a treat as all I had from this box before.

MSU NOV 18. This one had the fruitiness that I get from LGC only it was more muted. There was a grassiness to it that wasn’t unpleasant but just a little too dominant. Some wood showed up in the last couple inches. It kind of reminded me of a big MdO4. I’m looking forward to seeing how they are in a couple of years.

Y'all are making me wish I had lit up an Orgullosos, instead of this jawbreaker ?

Por Larranaga Montecarlo LGR SEP 17. No caramel sweetness, instead a dark earthy tobacco flavour, with a hint of campfire woodsmoke. Very consistent over the hour’s smoking time. Lovely draw and almost perfect burn. I’d characterise these as just slightly rustic, but a good smoke and great value. Will be very interesting to follow this box (this was the first).

Those dark-wrapped MCs all seem to have that earthy, rustic character to them.  Reportedly with a few years they do develop dark caramel sweetness as well.

Very much apricot, with some graham cracker and cocoa powder keeping it smooth.

Aloha Friday!

What an incredible stick!

My first-ever Diplomatiocos (EML AGO 14), courtesy of the noble @JohnS.  Nice medium colorado wrapper, very silky.  Good construction, just a few touch-ups needed, draw a touch on the easy side.

I know these are supposed to a lighter version of the Monte 2s for the French market, but the closest analog from my experience would be a slightly mild Partagas.  In fact my experience was pretty similar to the one John described in his most recent take on this box.  Light-medium to medium bodied.  First third was milk coffee, "pure" toasted tobacco, sourdough.  Second third was when notes of bell pepper and sweet paprika started to kick in, and the best part of the cigar.  All in all a very pleasant smoke, albeit I don't tend to smoke cigars of this size that often - even at 90 minutes I wasn't close to nubbing it, and I tend to start getting palate fatigue past that point.

I would like to thank @Luca for this superb Diplomaticos Bushido.

Enjoyed whilst imbibing half a bottle of Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin 2018.  I'm rather pissed whilst trying to type this up. So many corrections ,,,,

Great combination ... I never released how difficult it was to type an entry into FOH'ers daily smoke whilst pissed off my scone.

What a fantastic smoke !!! 98/100. The blister on my thumb and the severe case of hiccups I have now are testament to this great smoke,,

About 4 years of age and these are just superb now!  

So smooth. No edges, Rich and flavourful from start to finish. Definitely see the marriage of Montecristo and Partagas flavours along with some nuttiness that reminds me very much of cashews and walnuts.

I also saw some flavours in the final third that reminded me of a good Diplomaticos No.4, an amber tree resin spicy vegetal type of flavour.  Fantastic smoke!

Perfect weather this morning.  I was saving this cigar for just the right moment, and I think now is the time.

Nice. How are those T110’s these days? Still powerhouses?

[Wookie]

If one told me they added a bit more ligero to the regular edition I’d probably believe it. Otherwise same DNA and no better than a trusty #2 or Edmundo.

I’ve probably smoked through more boxes of these than any other cigar. They’ve been consistent in flavor for me: salty, peppery, nutty and creamy. The only differences I’ve ever noticed is sometimes I’ll get a box with a little more strength to ‘em. A little more ‘oomph’, if you will.
