Popular Post wineguy Posted September 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2019 I love Trini Fundys but this box has been a challenge, roughly half way through the box and at least 3 plugged including one I shared with @Cayman17 at my club that he was unable to smoke. I seem to have saved this one with perfect draw but damaged the wrapper trying to roll the knot out.....SLE SEP 16. 15 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gamehawker Posted September 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2019 My last cigar that I smoked when I was 57 was a spectacular over 5 1/2 year old H. Upmann Connoisseur A “LUB ENE 14”. So I decided to follow that up with the first cigar of being 58 with an awesome H.Upmann Connoisseur No. 1 “USE OCT 11” while home roasting coffee. This incredible cigar started off with caramel and chocolate notes in the first third and a medium strength. The second third transition to more chocolate and nugent notes and remained a medium strength. The final third went back to a caramel and chocolate notes with a more earthy taste and slightly picked up in strength. As you can see I did not want it to end and smoked it to the very nub and almost burned my fingers. These cigars keep on getting better with age and at almost eight years of age I think they will have many more years to get better (10+ years). If you ever have a chance to smoke a well aged H.Upmann Connoisseur No. 1 you will not be disappointed. I am so glad I have over 4 1/2 boxes of the 2011 vintage of this gem of a cigar. Cheers! ? 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JohnS Posted September 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2019 Romeo y Julieta Churchills ASO Nov 2016 The Romeo y Julieta Churchill has enjoyed somewhat of a revival on our forum in the last few years. In the past 12 months that reputation has grown to the point where it is now regarded as one of the top ten Habanos cigars currently. Judging by the many different box-coded offerings I've had of this cigar in the past 24 months, I can't help but agree with this assessment. Tonight's Churchill was two months short of three years and at this point of its development I noticed that it wasn't as sweet as previous RyJ Churchills I've had aged 12 to 24 months since 2016. So, no strong turkish delight or anise-type licorice sweetness, but rather a more softer coconut/cream and cherry flavour that remained consistent throughout, even well into the last third. This was a no-brainer to nub and if you are new to Romeo y Julieta as a marca, or simply don't like it due to its propensity to offer up toasted tobacco blandness from time-to-time, don't discount giving some recent RyJ Churchills a go. I wouldn't be surprised if you were glad you did. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
