I absolutely love the 2011 H.Upmann Coonie No. 1. 

I am glad I still have over 4 boxes left to smoke of this gem. ?

Three nights in a row with H. Upmann, (all around the same age 4-5 years old) and i must say the Sir Winstons Friday night was really good as was the Magnum 50 last night, but this Connie A (LUB MAR 14 I believe, but I could be wrong about the factory code) is fanatastic. Pairing it with a couple fingers of Glenmorangie 18 year Scotch. Either way, Happy Labor Day to all you in the states and everyone else have a wonderful week.

I really love those “LUB 14” H. Upmann Connie As.

Picadores UER NOV 17. Good quality cigar. Rather like a Partagas in some ways: a rich vegetal sweetness, a touch of paprika like spice, and just over medium bodied. Less pastry sweet though, more like bell-pepper or sweet peas. I certainly wouldn’t describe this as having caramel flavour, but it clearly has years of development ahead of it. Wrapper was still oily and burn a little uneven.

Fresh Maltes. Surprisingly mild and kind of bland.

The rain put an end to my golf plans on this last day of vacation.  Instead, enjoying the JL2 in the garage.

I keep an empty humidor in my bedroom w 3 45rh Boveda. It’s a great way to dry box overnight. Anyone else try this?

Yep,  Would have to agree,  Picadores are something unto themselves.  Which is something to celebrate.   A bit like how I find Boli No1's,   they are one of those blends that are trapped at some place between light and dark. a juxtaposition of flavours. 

I do think they'll get the chop at some point not too far off,  and it's yet again reason for HSA to have a more informative blurb about any given cigar on the inner leaf. i.e.  "Picadores are intended to be a lighter, more vegetal expression of the classic Por Larranaga blend"    it would be so helpful to smokers getting in to CC's.

Montecristo No.4 UEB May 2018

Thanks to Cuban Cigar Website's excellent Smoking Diary Feature and my 2019 Smoking Blog, subjective considerations in regards to timing and cigars can be now easily quantified. Let me explain...this box has been stellar thus far and after checking my Smoking Diary today I could easily see that I smoked two within a week and once a month on average thereafter. I can happily report that 6 of the 7 I've smoked to this point have been absolutely stunning, with one sub-average.

The superb quality of this box has been exemplified by their distinctive softer nut and citrus flavours rather than stronger cocoa, coffee and cream flavours, although the latter flavours were still evident here. This cigar was much stronger in that nut and 'citrus on the edges' profile, which for me, is a pure delight when it comes to Montecristo. Let's see how the next one pans out next month!

Like drinking chocolate milk with a sprinkle of paprika in it. Still plenty of spice left in these.

I grabbed that 2-4-1  ERDM Demi tasse on the 2424 so now I gotta make some room 

First time trying an 898. It’s good! Paprika, cedar and white pepper. Middle part had whole wheat sourdough bread in the background. Reinforces my whole thing on Partagas being a great pairing with a steak dinner or some other red meat.

LOA May 14 Panetela from the King of scoundrels @cfc1016.  I love everything Por Larranaga but this one is certainly the oldest and most interesting one I've had. Spectacular. Thanks, brother!

Someone’s plumey custom and a cheapo gin and tonic.  

I wish I could call what stick this is.  I didn’t write it down.  It was handed to me towards the end of the evening at the FOH LA get together last November along with a 2013 CORO.  It’s quite good already with lots of leather and earth...
