I got two glorious hours out of this five year old Sig V from @THEMISCHMAN. Absolute stunner. Fantastic journey. Thanks, brother!

Bolívar Belicosos Finos LMB Feb 2019

If you've followed my reviews this year you'd know I'm not a Bolivar acolyte but I'll gladly make am exception for the BBF as these have been stellar, especially in the last year or two. I think I connect with the maltiness or bitter stout-type flavours in this cigar, which I do favour.

This cigar did have that bitter stout or dark ale malt beer flavour together with a creaminess that makes it distinctive for me and from the very first puffs. It also had a cocoa and soft marshmallow like texture, similar to previous BBF's I've had this year, which gave way into the middle third as some nutmeg spice took over. The final third saw the usual build-up of earthy flavours come more to the fore.

One thing of note is the way I cut the head with my Colibri V-Cutter. I use this cutter on all my torpedo-type cigars due to the consistency of cuts and the ease it provides with smoking the cigar. In comparison to a straight cut on a torpedo, for me, it prevents wetting the head of the cigar during drawing and so induce any bitter flavours from excess moisture.

I am quite a fan of the Bolivar flavor profile, problem is, they're just too strong for me. Either that or I need to age them. I can handle the coronas junior but BRC or BBF rock me every time.

It’s a shame these were discontinued.  The floral notes in the final third were exceptional.  Fantastic stick.  Thanks @MigsG

This is the story of my summer. So much wildfire smoke. I can't smell, taste,breathe right. Haven't had a cigar in 2 months. Ironically, I moved here for better air quality ?

Settling into a lovely evening with an SLR Churchill from 2001.

A lot of sweet hay, bready and woody notes. Some hits of coffee and cocoa.

It’s a PLPC from 2017 kinda day

Smoking this pretty fresh FEB/2019 Ramon Allones Superiores. All the fantastic flavors coming through.  @El Presidente said he's been impressed with recent production and this is absolutely evidence of this. Superb.

Mag 46.  Woah.  This joins the HUHC and Connie A at the top of my list. 6 months into the world of CC and I think the German banker is becoming my favorite.  Nuts, coffee, at one point it was like tiramisu but with bourbon instead of amaretto.

Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo du Prince SOM Jun 2016

Can you believe that it's been two-and-a-half years since these have been discontinued? And can you remember how popular this cigar was on our forum during 2015 and 2016? It seemed that every time they came out on a 24:24 listing they were snapped up in a proverbial blink! There's a reason for this, I think, and it lays in the fact that this cigar, although an almuerzos at 40 ring gauge x 130 mm and not quite a petit corona (42 ring gauge x 129 mm), offers a nice change-of-pace in the petit corona range. How are they after 3 years? Frankly, still good but 'boy-oh-boy' does this have legs to age!

This was cream and vanilla from the 'get-go', but soon settled into typical forest floor or earthy and heavy wood flavours common with the Le Hoyo range. I got more of that vanilla spice coming into the middle third and the heavy oak flavour took over. Although the strength was a little over mild, the flavours were quite full and continued to do so into the last third. The final third saw the oak and forest floor/mushroom flavours get even more intense. The cream dissipated into the last third but the vanilla spice remained.

In comparison to the recent Le Hoyo releases of the de San Juan (a Geniales at 54 ring gauge x 150 mm) and Rio de Seco (an Armorosos at 56 ring gauge x 140 mm), those cigars are different to this du Prince box in that those cigars have more crispy, toasty flavours when young, can have a distinctive tea flavour, and in my opinion, are more approachable when young.

These '15 Monte #4' s finally made the turn and are really good. Pairing with a Southern Tier Pumking Imperial Pumkin Ale.
