Nothing fancy. CC's Chicory pourover with cream.

Could have fooled me! Looked like a shot of espresso.

Legend. Thank you @JohnS and thank you @RDB. I am glad you enjoyed my write up on these cigars. If you can - make sure you check out the Mid 2019 cigar review thread posted by @JohnS

A year in the humidor was not enough, all wood and amonia.

BHK 56. Not a RG I would typically smoke, but I for some reason have a box laying around. This is the second one from the box. 

The first, is one of the oddest stories I have. Maybe two months ago I lit one of these behemoths up to test drive. Not a typical cigar for me in many respects. 

I’m alone watching TV and smoking this thing and about 1/3 or half the way into it the thing disappears. I look everywhere for thirty min, there aren’t alot of places it could be. I’m a neat freak and I’m in an apartment. Finally I say, “f it” and light another cigar. Alcohol was in play but I was hardly inebriated. I assume the thing will show up at some point and I’ll get a good laugh. Thing never showed up. As close to a ghost story I have. I’m almost certain it was a ghost. I am keeping a close eye on this one! 

Your house burned down in the fire from the cigar..... YOU ARE THE GHOST LOL

I’m trying to get rid of all my various NCs from before I was converted, and you know, for being just a one note stick, it’s pretty nice and mellow.

I have a 2018 and I’m afraid to smoke it.

RASCC DIC16.  Almost perfect length for halftime.  Might need to pick up some HUHC or MMC for those duties.

Quai d'Orsay No. 50 SMA Jul 2018

Hype is a multi-faceted word, which in the case of the Quai d'Orsay No. 50 and No.54, is rarely seen for a prolonged basis for a regular production Habanos cigar. However, when you see (and many of you have) continual listings of these two cigars on 24:24 on our forum sell within seconds, despite being clearance stock, you have to wonder what the appeal is.

Hype can mean excessive or exaggerated publicity or promotion and is thought to come from the word 'hyperbole' which in the Ancient Greek means to over shoot or over throw your mark. In the world of finance, stocks that are over-hyped always come back crashing down to Earth. Will the Quai d'Orsay No.50 and No.54 do likewise? We shall see.

The quality leaf that has gone into these cigars was again plainly evident to see, both in regards to construction, ash burn, length and in regards to flavour. Gingerbread, toffee, hazelnut and a 'breadiness' like egg and butter brioche is what, for me, makes this cigar stand out. Despite the thin and supple wrapper tearing slightly in parts, this cigar still held well and was easy to smoke well into the final third.

Montecristo Especial No.2. Very young from ASR ABR 19. Same factory is rolling some other good stuff like QdO 54. This box looked amazing, and I’ll post in the recent acquisitions thread when I have daylight. The feel of them is great too: all are beautifully even and spongy, no hard spots. Draw was perfect.

Complex smoke! Dark milk chocolate, wholemeal bread crust, cream (like hot chocolate cream). Some sweet leaf mold, some spices like cumin perhaps, a touch of floral top notes. Flavours change noticeably as I alter the draw: darker with a firmer pull. 

Really good. I put this down a little early because I have a slightly sore throat, but I am so looking forward to the rest of these. Not intending to wait long for the next one either. I think these, Petit Edmundo and No.2 are now my favourites from Monte.

So what do you think of the lighter wrapper compared to the darker on the PLPC?
