Little montecarlos to take the edge off   I don’t know if the PL is making my coffee taste better or the other way around. Caramel smoke for breakfast.

After a morning of hard work, enjoying this Bolivar Petit Corona ETP MAR 17 which has transformed into a dark coffee cream puff.

Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de Rio Seco ABO Mar 2019

I finally got my chance to smoke this new Le Hoyo line release, thanks to our generous host offering quarter pack options on 24:24 and providing multiple instances of many (24:24) listings recently. According to those recent listings, El Pres has asserted that the Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo Rio de Seco is possibly the hottest new release selling cigar right now for Habanos S.A. After smoking this today, I believe it.

Before I discuss the flavours let me discuss the dimensions of this cigar. Yes, it's 56 ring gauge but the 140 mm length belies how big it is, when I got my quarter pack I remarked to myself that I distinctly remember the Le Hoyo de San Juan, despite being 54 ring gauge, being bigger. I think the fact that the San Juan is 10 mm longer makes it seem bigger. Also, after having a Punch 48 recently, which is also 140 mm in length (and is around a coronas size in length), I felt that the Punch 48 was also a lot smaller than what it was!

El Pres consistently mentions in his 24:24 listings that young Rio de Seco has a gingerbread spice and cream characteristic to it. I confidently concur with this view. Unlike other Le Hoyo line cigars, the cedar or 'woodiness' in this is diminished and the cream and sweetness is more amplified for its age, in comparison. The San Juan also had more tea notes and a crispy 'toastiness' to its flavours when young for me, this cigar was not like that. Instead it had a very strong ginger and licorice-type sweetness, cream, a hint of cedar and a little cloved spice. I had no issue nubbing it.

So overall, this is another quality release for Habanos S.A. I'm inclined to let my other Rio de Seco rest for some time to allow the creamy texture to take over but if you are inclined to enjoy them young, then I suggest you do so.

Siglo 4 earlier which was terrible in the first third then was beautiful all the way to the nub

Des Dieux, just a perfect cigar every time

What was the box code on that gem?  

It also looked like a Tiubo by how round it is.

Edit: I see now that it is a Tubo by the pic of the A/T in the background.

I have  a sealed box of H.Upmann Monarchs (Tubo) “GTL MAY 07” in one of my coolidors.

These are my absolute favorite cigar and I fear that once I break into the box I will not be able to stop myself. 

I also have 5  H.Upmann Monarchs (Tubo) “JM OCSU” (1998) these are the same year my daughter was born.  I am saving these when she graduates from college and or gets married.

That looks like a ULA.  All the Bolis from that summer seem to have that amazing-looking wrapper.

 

Wow. Well done. You’re like Forensic Files for cigar wrappers.

ROFL.  I have a box of PCs and that wrapper is almost unmistakable.

Evening,

Are you sure it’s a G and not a B ?
Yes 07 and you are right, they are a wonderful cigar.

Thank you very much @cfc1016 for this great PSDN4! Great notes of spice, white pepper and toasted tobacco

Cuaba Divinos, courtesy of our host via a contest win.  My first ever Cuaba (I think).  I'm not sure I would describe the profile as peanut butter as Rob does, but it was unique among all CC I've smoked to be sure.  More of a generally nuttiness, on the sweeter side, with some dank earth and distinct woody notes.  Once the draw opened up (with the shape it obviously took a few puffs) burn and construction flawless.  Interesting and unusual cigar.
