FOH'ers Daily Smoke

Partagás 8-9-8 circa 2006 (thanks @Fuzz!)

I think the last time I had a Partagas 8-9-8 was in 2016, and that was gifted to me by @khamy. This one, gifted to me generously by @Fuzz, is from circa 2006 and @jay8354 told me upon smoking this that the nicotine strength on this box, in its initial phase around 2006, would make you 'turn green' when smoked. How was it in late 2019? Put it this way, there was no threat of expiry to be found here!

The first third had strong notes of sourdough, light coffee and leather. The middle third picked up in coffee and pepper and the last third got a little more intense in those aforementioned flavours from the middle third. The strength after well over ten years of rest? It was still comfortably above medium.

I'm glad to have sampled this though. Unfortunately, Dalias (Partagas 8-9-8 and Cohiba Siglo V) have been in a consistent hiatus in the last few years, with them being unavailable more than available. That's why when these two vitolas come up on 24:24 they invariably sell out within a matter of minutes.

Glad you enjoyed it, @JohnS. Though, you did look a little worse for wear after!

Gonna see if I can find another in my singles humi to give to you on Saturday!

RyJ was decent, young still with hints of cream and fruit(PSP box from a few months ago)

Monte 4, GOS May 18, the worst luck box of cigars I’ve ever had. They’re beautiful in appearance, very dark wrappers, just immune to fire, they’ll take a light and offer some decent monte flavors, then go out instantly. This one was dry boxed for 2 weeks at 58%, I’ve had no issues with any other of my stock keeping lit. Above half the box has been this way.

ORA DIC 14.  Another from the recent PCC sales, and again ROTT.  Pack was a little light.  Not much of that JL citrus and chocolate combo; at least not as much as I was hoping for.  I am getting some nice vanilla and light char flavor though.  My next one from this box will be in a few months....or not.

I smoked one of two of these that @canadianbeaver gave me. Beautiful cigar. Such a nice size too. 

 

Having a regular rotation epicure especial with some run of the mill Glenlivet 12 from my oddly beaten up flask I keep on hand for the quick grab and go to the cigar lounges that don’t serve drinks.

Punch DC from 97 or 98. I don’t exactly recall as it was in my singles box. I’ve had better.

 

 

The background is some of the aftermath of a pumpkin carving party with 10 3rd graders at my house yesterday... it will take days to get all the smeared pumpkin off my deck

I’ve had one of those once.  The flavor wasn’t bad.  The only negative was that little bits of tobacco kept falling out of the cigar onto my tongue.
