Yo Andy, I found you use XIKAR M8 and unknown V-cut from your daily smoke pics too! Do you prefer M8 over XO and Xi1? Also, what is the name of your V-Cut (Mine is Colibri V-Cut)?

Fast becoming one of my favorite cigars.

Bolivar Coronas Junior MSU JUL 18 yesterday, 24:24 box arrived two weeks ago. I was impatient, not ready yet, but the ingredients are there ?

UAO MAR 18 Esplendido 

The first one from the box.  I thought these would need more time, but this one tastes perfect.

One of my last du Roi (08). Perfect in every way. A textbook cigar.

(I think I remember we share the love for this corona, @PigFish - un saludo, amigo!)

Montecristo Leyenda UBM Sep 2018

My last Leyenda was six months and below is my review of my last one...

This Montecristo Leyenda is part of the new Linea 1935 series, a group of three cigars (the others are the Dumas and Maltes) which are the Montecristo version of the Cohiba Behike series. Its dimensions are identical to the 2017 Montecristo 80th Aniversario release, that is big...55 ring gauge by 165 mm in length. These have been marketed as been fuller in strength (or is it flavour, or possibly both?), but I found this to be suitably medium to medium-mild. Sure, it wasn't as light as an Especiales No.2, for example, but it was nowhere near as strong as some Petit Edmundos or even Montecristo No. 4's I've had.

The reason this cigar was so, so good, in my opinion, was the milk chocolate and cream flavour which dominated the first two thirds. There was also some underlying cedar, which was a little sweet, almond nut and, in my opinion, similarly to the Edmundo Dantes Belicosos, some hints of marshmallow. I was even able to retrohale into the final third. The one thing that I must add is how long it would take to smoke this, it must have been at least two-and-a-half hours! Glorious and deserving of high praise indeed!

Thankfully, this was every bit as good (and similar) as all the other Leyendas I have had in general. Whilst I have stated in my last review on the Montecristo Linea 1935 Maltes that overall I feel the Linea 1935 is a disappointing release, due to its premium marketing and price point, I laud to virtues of the Leyenda. I will continue to seek it out and enjoy it on occasion, unlike the Maltes and Dumas.

Leaves are coming down. Inch of snow forecast for Monday. Had to take down the awning over my cigar smoking location. Rain and snow now will cancel a cigar. Bummer. 
 

but a small reward for my efforts.

M8 holds a slight edge over the other 2 cutters at the moment. Feel comfortable when I use it. As for the V-Cut, it's a Siglo V-Cutter. Good feel, cuts deep, cuts clean & have never had any problems using it. 

Yup...overall I am very happy with all my cutters.

Cheers!

ESL JUL 17. Tastes perfect, as I'd imagined. A rich, complex cigar.

Punch Punch 48 2016 - Especialista en Habanos Exclusivo LGR Ene 2018

My last Punch 48 had construction issues and was my only disappointment from what has been a stellar box thus far. Today's cigar was an accomplished return-to-form in comparison.

When I first tried this cigar (when it was first released) I noted the roasted nut profile in it that was so dominant, after around 18 months the peanut profile is still there, but like my last few Punch 48 this year, it doesn't taste roasted anymore.

A Hermosos No.3, at 48 ring gauge x 140 mm (or 5½ inches), the size now seems more akin to a coronas, especially since the Robustos (50 ring gauge) is now the average-sized Habanos vitola these days. The wrapper on this was again a deep rosado colour. In fact, it was so reddish-brown that I think the only other cigar that I've sampled in the last five years that was close to this wrapper shade would be the 2014 Partagas Privada Limited Edition.

This cigar was much like the last few I had in 2019 prior to my last one which had construction issues, didn't burn properly and was bitter. The nut profile was definitely there, but as I stated above, it wasn't roasted because the sour citrus twang that intermingled with a gorgeous light cream was the main flavour I picked up in the first third. In the middle third I got a pick-up of cedar, however again the sour citrus twang was still there and made the cigar so intriguing. In the final third the spice very much took over, like in a youthful Partagas Serie D No.4, but this time it was not overwhelming and so I nubbed it as far as I could go.

What a great smoke! I look forward to my last one from this box, and soon. Thankfully I have already ordered another box a few months ago and it is happily resting in my humidor.
