FOH'ers Daily Smoke

Monte #4 ASE SEP 10

[inter4alia]

This Padron 50th anniversary was gifted to me roughly a year ago. Large stick. Had some time tonight so decided to fire it up. Gotta tell you, pretty damn good so far. Not worth the retail for sure, but I'm very happy to be smoking it. Tons of smoke output and perfect construction.

2013 Piramides . Good ,unique . Although you could give me a stock standard Monte 2 any day. 570 notes 6 years ago...not worth it at this stage...

Ago Jun 16 Magicos. My how it's changed in 3 years. It's a beauty of a cigar and tastes even better. Loads of dark chocolate

You’re the second person to be underwhelmed by this cigar in the daily smoke. I’ve been trying to track a box down and lost out on the auction a couple days ago.  Maybe I don’t need to try so hard to find them...

Any noticeable difference to standard SC production?

None whatsoever and was actually more mild than other SCs I’ve had. In my experience, it had the richness of a premium cigar but lacked the sweetness of the El Principe or La Punta and unfortunately comes at a premium.  It’s a cigar I’m glad to have sampled but I wouldn’t look hard for a box to call my own.  In a blind test I’d probably reach for the regular production selections. El Principe is pretty hard to beat.

2424 PARTAGAS LUSI BUP JUL 2017   El Pres called the JUN/JUL BUP 2017 "some of the hottest Luistiainias of all time"  I smoked a couple when I got these last July and liked them. First one since(year later) now 2 points better. First third, Baking spices up front then earthy soil rubber tire goodness.   Construction great , little south of medium body.  it pays to listen to the man.

'15 H. Upmann Magnum 50 paired with a little Woodford Reserves. Very good combo

On another note... Never forget, never ever forget the victims, the heroes that gave their lives that day and those that signed their name on the dotted line to make sure something like that never happens again anywhere!

Anyways, take care all and never forget!

I smoke 1 or 2 of these a year, always gifted by the same friend.  I used to think they tasted like bland, mild cardboard.  In last year or so they're have gotten better, more body and flavor.  Not sure it's newer crops or aging. But I still can't find value at $45+ per stick. Worth trying a couple though.

I have smoked a few of these 50th and I agree....very pricey.  I think all of the 1926 and 1964 series taste remarkably similar...for me they are interchangeable. But I do like that woodsy char they all produce. Very consistent.

TOS MAY 16 This box has been absolutely stellar.

Rushing from work this morning to make a 8:30 tee time, smoking a Siglo VI

I made it on time.  Smoked a RAG on the back 9.

Very young D4 ROTT.

[MigsG]

Perfect conditions to have this awesome UER NOV 18 BBF.  No breeze, smoke just wafting upward.

Afternoon #2. Cheers

 

 

Young La Fuerza PSP ROTT.

Por Larrañaga Petit Coronas circa 2014 (thanks @jay8354)

I've been so enamored with the Por Larranaga Montecarlos lately that one may wonder why I haven't sampled the Por Larranaga Petit Coronas (or Picadores, for that matter) in recent times? I think there are two reasons; firstly, the quality-to-cost appeal of the Montecarlos and secondly, it takes more time for Petit Coronas to develop the caramel profile I prefer in that cigar. Thankfully, @jay8354 gifted me this PLPC from circa 2014 and at that age, it did not let me down, let me tell you!

Whereas a PLMC may typically take 1 to 3 years to develop a dominant caramel characteristic, the PLPC may take 5 to 8 years to do so. This Petit Coronas certainly had a smooth and soft caramel flavour to it, together with honey and baking spice notes. It was a superb cigar, the type that 'rewards you in spades' for the patience you give it.
