H. Upmann Noellas 2009 - La Casa del Habano Exclusivo circa 2010 (thanks @Trevor2118!)

Generously gifted by @Trevor2118 (thank you again!), the H.Upmann Noellas is a special release replicating the regular production cigar that came in a distinctive glass jar and discontinued in the 1980s. This cigar was from a run announced in 2009 and made available in 2010.

Contemporary criticism at the time found these to be quite intense in flavours and I admit that I've had a few younger that were more dominant in bitter espresso flavours. Retrospective reviews have been a little kinder to this cigar, as today's smoke was much milder and had much more pleasant H.Upmann shortbread and leather flavours.

Curious how it was? I have a box of ESO MAY 15 that I haven’t tried yet. Any idea what the box code on this one was?

After some pretty spicy stuffed Poblano peppers for dinner, a south of the border Edmundo Dantes Conde Belicoso paired with some Banhez Artesenal Joven Mezcal

A nice and smoky mix!

It's been a couple of days since I've had time for a stick.  Even tonight, I could only squeeze in a BPC.  The ULA 14 was a good choice.  At almost 5 1/2 years, flavors are still bold.  These things will have legs for some time to come.

It was either OBM AGO 15 or SEA SEP 16....those are the two I have open. I find both great.....excellent flavor, construction and consistency.

The morning Minuto and black iced coffee. Great pairing. Cheers

These don’t have the greatest reputation but it’s been the best one of the box so far. Gran Robusto. Had to determine if I should take advantage of a special sale... the answer was yes.

El Rey del Mundo Demi Tasse MLU Dic 2018

If you had the chance to survey your boxes in your humidor, I'd say you would come across at least one box that has a construction or blend issue consistently throughout it. Welcome to that one box and its story!

I've gone through a quarter of the box of these ERdM Demi Tasses and I would say that all of them have been tight or plugged. Sure, somewhere there in those cigars there's been flavour, but what use is it when you can't draw and taste the smoke?

In this instance I was able to save the cigar through using my PerfecDraw tool, which I admit I use very rarely. Still, whilst PerfecDraw is good, making these sticks less tight would have been better!

All I seem to get out of it is wood and dry wood. Random salt and sweetness but not really what others describe I’m supposed to get from it. How about yourself ?

ETP MAR 17. Boli PC. Gifted by @MigsG  i would say maybe a 93 pt cigar. Top 5 of the year for me. Leather but just enough not overwhelming. Smoooooth. Medium to full. Coffee. cream. Earth. And just a little Mongrel. Wow ! I will be buying some of these my first ever. Thanks again @MigsG

LGR ABR 18.  It's been a few months since I've had one from this box.  My last one hardly showed any sense of that sweet caramel we all look for in a PLMC.  Now at 1 1/2 years, I still wasn't expecting it to be as far along in that particular character as this sample was.   The first inch merely teased a hint of sweetness.  However, once it ashed, I could notice the sweetness starting to build, saying, "here I am!"  Oh, yes, there you are, my friend.  There you are!  By the way, does anyone else notice some nice subtle earthiness in this stick, or is it just me?

Monte #2, always a pleasurable experience. Happy weekend, everyone
