Great notes of spice, white pepper and toasted tobacco Glad you liked it so much!! I cherrypicked that box by code - TOS DIC 16. After all the other great stuff to come out of TOS (La Corona, iirc) that year (yes I'm talkin bout principes lol) I figured it'd be a solid box. Wasn't disappointed. Those are my favorite d4s in a long time. I tried to make sure it was only the good stuff in that care package. I forget what else I sent though,lol. Looking forward to the next commentary! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted September 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2019 Cohiba Siglo V REG Nov 2017 The Cohiba Siglo V is possibly my second favourite of the Linea 1492 range after the Cohiba Siglo III. At 43 ring gauge x 170 mm (or 6¾ inches), a dalias, it represents a vitola that is only shared by the Partagas 8-9-8 currently in regular production, and both these cigars have been periodical lately in their availability. For those of you who are experienced enthusiasts, do you still remember the Bolivar Inmensas (discontinued in 2009) and the La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'Or No.2 (discontinued in 2014)? I wanted to celebrate my son's birthday so I pulled this out of the humidor and we smoked one together. I was well-pleased at how good this was both flavour-wise and construction-wise for its age, two months short of two years. This was your standard Cohiba grass or hay, honey, a little cream, a hint of coffee but no spice or citrus. It was very easy to smoke and a great choice to mark a milestone. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John it's been too long since I've had an inmensas (plus BCG and BBF were my staples of the marca back then anyway), but the mdo2? Impossible to forget. Pre-strain-change, post-strain-change - no matter. They were almost uniformly superlative demonstrations of that je ne sais quoi of LGC dna. Between those and Tainos, you had some pretty monumental flavor journeys with an LGC back in the day. Remarking on strain change transitions reminds me of something I think is pertinent. Each of the few examples i've had in recent years of the ERDM choix supreme have been (at least in my convoluted sentimental sensory memory system) really reminiscent of that pre-strain-change LGC je ne sais quoi, which I know you also adore much like I do. Their demi tasse have a touch of it too, but never as refined, or with the sub-flavors making their 'voices clearly heard' if you will, as in the case of the choix supreme. If the demi tasse is a stage banter between a few vocalists, the choix supreme is a coordinated performance by a classical septet. I digress. I dare say I think there's something almost mystical about the Dalias vitola. It's as if all of the interdependent physical and chemical factors which incalculably determine the 'destiny' of the cigar, if you will, are all perfectly balanced and aligned, like a syzygy. It's like the Excalibur of vitolas. I don't understand it. I've tried. I don't grasp the complexity of factors which make it so. Something about the balance and harmony of that vitola (and i'll throw julieta no 2 in as a very close second on my list) just allows the tobacco to sing with such perfect pitch. There's more than one reason I was happy to accept the 898UV (probably my number 2 fave ever) being replaced by the 898V. The dalia being the new format is definitely up there. I think I've got a couple mdo2s stashed away somewhere. I'm sure it'll be quite a treat whenever they get fired up. I'll try and remember to notate the experience for ya. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full bodied and sweet, with the classic chocolate orange flavour. A bit heavy and buzzy, but no matter. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post inter4alia Posted September 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2019 Picked this up today on the road during my bourbon tour vacation with the wife. I've had several vitolas of the Herrera Esteli but this one is a shop exclusive for Riverside Cigars in Jeffersonville, Indiana just across the river from Louisville, Kentucky. This is vitola is probably my favorite of all I've tried and it pairs extremely well with this single barrel Russell's bourbon I picked up today. Many thanks to @bbguardsp for recommending this stick to me in his shop. Cheers! 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
