Partagas D4 - TUP SEP 14 from our host, while getting some work done on a beautiful fall day. These D4s are so smooth!

Siglo VI at 6:30 AM on my way home from a 24 hour shift.

2014 Petit Edmundo at 8:30 AM.

And a CoRo for my afternoon cigar.  It’s hard to believe it is the middle of October.  Feels like Summer in the Northeast.

Diplomáticos No.2 EML Ago 2014

This has been another superb box for me lately. I had rested this in my online humidor for some time prior to having it shipped and I'm surprised I've gone through 40% of the box thus far in a short time. Alas, I have no disappointments or regrets with what I've smoked to this point.

Some of the cigars I've smoked have been strong on capsicum or bell pepper, some have been strong on paprika spice, this was strong on sourdough. There was a little capsicum or bell pepper and some creaminess in the cigar, although if I compared today's cigar to the others I'd have to say that this stood out as the least savoury that I've sampled. Has it 'turned-a-corner', so-to-speak? I may need to smoke another one or two to find out!

Nice Punch Punch while the kiddo is napping. Playing Mr. Mom today, my favorite role.

Closing out a long weekend with a Sir Winston of unknown box code (likely ‘14)

Pulled out the 21st one out of this box of 25 monte no 2’s that have exhibited the full range of typically good monte flavor to typically bad monte flavor. I never had such a range within the same box. This one is good. Makes me wish I could trust montecristo to be reliable. I’d buy a lot more of them if that were the case.

Acquired a bunch OX’s early this year in a humidor. Decided to give a couple a try this evening. These are the only NC’s that interest me, but even these are way cool.

And after lit, dreamy. Yes, that is the word.

'17 SCDLH La Punta after lunch. Sweet all the way. 

 

'17 RyJ Exhibicion #4 courtesy of @Thirds this evening, enjoying it now. Wow, this one is salty and savory.

[CampDelta369]

La Punta circa 2018. Fine construction and burn. A definite spiciness but other flavors are muted. Not ready for prime time. The last 3 of this 6er will sleep. One of the few CC I get a nico hit from. Bitterness forced me to pitch this at the half. I hate that.

Smoking very well young.

I just don't get this box.They all Look stunning. That said one smokes beautifully, then you get one like this which is boring and no flavour at all. 

If you can find them grab them.Fruit tingles, simply amazing

Cohiba Magicos circa 2008 (thanks @Trevor2118!)

Maduro wrappers bring their fair share of divided opinion amongst cigar enthusiasts. Simply put, it's a matter of either you like (or alternatively don't mind) them on your cigars or you don't. It's now been twelve (yes, twelve!) years since the Maduro 5 Series was released. The vitolas in this series are:

    * Genios - 5½" × 52 rg (140 × 20.64 mm), Estupendos, a Robusto Extra
    * Magicos - 4½" × 52 rg (114 × 20.64 mm), Magicos, a Petit Robusto
    * Secretos - 4⅜" × 40 rg (111 × 15.88 mm), Reyes, a Petit Corona

A number of polls over the years on our forum tend to result in a common consensus of which of these cigars is preferred. The order consistently is Secretos, Genios and Magicos. Why does the Magicos poll behind the Secretos and Genios, do you ask? I consider that it's because of its intensity of chocolate and coffee flavours and these flavours contrasting with typical Cohiba grass/hay, honey, vanilla, citrus and mocha flavours.

Indeed, when this vitola first came out in 2007/08, they were very different to standard Cohiba Clasica and Linea 1492 cigars. I was fortunate enough to be gifted this cigar by @Trevor2118 (thank you, kindly), how have these developed now that they are past ten years of age? In a word or two, quite nicely! The coffee and chocolate flavours have settled well, and together with a touch of honey and grass/hay, this Magicos today had some refinement and baking spice which made it very easy to smoke.

If you have the opportunity to put a box away, do yourself a favour in regards to the Maduro 5 series and set aside these cigars for the long-term. I assure you, they smoke very differently than in their first year or two after boxing.
