MSU SEP 18 QdO Coronos Claro Picked up a couple of boxes and they been in my humidor a month. I don’t normally smoke something that soon but I have not had one of these before so pulled one out.

Not quite sure what to make of it. Seemed a bit harsh, not a lot of flavor but it finished well. It will definitely be a while before I have another and hopefully this is t representative of what they will be.

I find that the QdO Coronas Claro start off in a bit of a sick period when fresh. Usually after 2 years they get alot better and are ideal at the 5 year mark. Even beyond the 5 year mark they are good.@DirtyHarry smoked a 2007 QdO Coronas which was gifted by @Fuzzand he said it was amazing!

So rest them up and they will deliver!!

Smoked a Rott QDO CC yesterday,   My first of the newly banded cigars.   I have two old boxes sleeping (wish i had more).  The cigar was very interesting.   I've only ever smoked QDOCC with 2-4 years on them.   This was a bit of a revelation.   Really enjoyed the cigars.   It had a lot of Punch elements going on.  Juicyfruit gum, cloves, pencil shavings etc etc.  it also had a little PLMC like a mix of burnt caramel, and new car leather.    There was a glimpse of the cream, and toasted oat porridge to come, but this cigar was all over the shop (in a good way).   I hope they do calm down, as the QDOCC of 2015-26 are close to my perfect cigar.   

To me the apex or zenith of where you want a QDOCC to be, is when it's like creamy toasted oat porridge, resinous cedar, orange zest, anise etc. when they are like that, the leave Cohiba and Trinidad in the dust.

Hats off to @El Presidente for picking out Brioche,  I great addition as to how to accurately pick these cigars, and very fitting to their French heritage

Afternoon delight in the backyard.

Do you ever have to explain that these are not from Jamaica? Lololol!

That is barely enough bacon for me.

no amount of orange segments would offset my bacon/french toast consumption!!  If I had this kind of stuff prepared for me, i'd be dead within a year

San Cristóbal de la Habana La Fuerza LGR Jun 2018

This cigar has quietly risen in reputation on our forum in the last 12 months. I think of it was being a quiet achiever, the last few I've had do the job when it comes to satisfaction, but in regards to the San Cristobal de La Habana marca, the El Principe is its flagship. The La Fuerza has been a solid consistent performer of late, and in my view, deserves some recognition.

How is this different to the El Principe and why was it so good? Like the El Principe, there is a core molasses sweetness here, but the intensity is very different, this has always been milder than the El Principe for me, much more refined. Cocoa and espresso coffee flavours tend to be much more in the background and I usually find a nice baking spice flavour at times from the La Fuerza, which I did tonight with this cigar.

So, in conclusion, if you like the El Principe then give this a go, even if it's a quarter pack of six cigars. You're likely to find out for yourself why this quiet achiever is so deserving of its recent accolades.

Just a fantastic cigar!

Interesting, I’ll give them a few more months and try another but plan to put one of the boxes away for the long term.

This morning watching F1 qualifying which I quite enjoyed a RAE JUN 15 Party Short.



LGR ABR 18 Punch 48. Flavors good, construction not great.


Update:
Punch 48 I quickly tossed. After a crazy week my patience to try to work through the construction issues was near zero. Under filled with soft spots.

Need something reliable so Monsdale it is.

Yep I'm only smoking these freshies as I want more age on my 15/16s. Like a messed up back to front rotation. I just miss them too much to wait

Do you age these at all? I’m sitting on a box of these from last year. 

[Artin]

Trying a qdo for the first time. Right of the box and it tastes great. Living up to the hype. Will try to work through the box slowly.

The 1926 Padron series are made with tobacco aged five years.  You can age them but it’s not going to necessarily  get better with age.
