This aged PCC Bolivar is delicious. There is a malt and earthiness to this marca I really enjoy. It’s going to be a favorite. BOLRC PCC ULA AGO 15. Have a great weekend FOH.

TEB MAR 08.  Just reviewed this stick.  Over a decade old and plenty of life yet.

Finally, made it out to my local lounge to smoke one in warmer, indoor temps.

Chuck - are they LGR XXX 17? If so, they are from the same vein as the TOS XXX 16 coded boxes. I've burned a lot of TOS XXX 16 principes. It's my staple cigar. Though I find them pretty much all pleasant and enjoyable from ~6-12 months on, i think the sweetness tends to be more prominent after the 2 year mark. Though I haven't smoked a ton of cigars this year (i used to smoke 3-5/day), i did have a TOS MAR 16 principe recently an example from an especially dark-wrapper-shade box. First in a while. At ~3.5 years, I got a lot of savory ahead of the sweetness. Sweetness is still there, but there was a meaty profile (which i ADORE) taking more of the limelight. I'm not sure that that will be the trend with the other examples from that stage of aging, but it's delightful. I'm excited to see what 4, 5, 10+ years will do to these things. They  certainly seem to have legs.

TLDR: My experience would suggest that, for the current best-performing vein of principes (TOS 16/LGR 17), the sweet spot seems to be in the 2-3 year range. Perhaps more to come at later ages,but the oldest examples are still not yet 4 years down. Time will tell.

 

Thanks for the knowledge sharing. As luck would have it mine are LGR DIC 17. They sure do have a lovely oily dark wrapper also. I’m looking forward to obtaining the savoury in the future which you have described. Though I just hope I can get the box to lady that long, as I’m finding them so pleasing now with a coffee

TOR DEC 2016 DANTES.  Started with the San Juan but let it go out, there’s a pinhole in it, couldn’t get a proper draw. Or maybe really just wanted something with some kick instead.

Year of the Rat....very good

Best cigar of 2019.  A Gigante from 2015 bought from Rob that is ticking all the boxes Rob uses to describe these beauties when they're right on.  Thanks FOH.

Man these Chico’s I just got in are tremendous! Glad I bought a couple of these little boxes. Two boxes fits easily in one hand. Kinda cute really.

What’s better than a great cigar next to a proper wood fire pit? Caveman says nothing better, and I have not had a Davidoff since the Pleistocene Epoch, or maybe 1982.

Smoked a Padron 1964 Torp and it was a little too strong and peppery for my liking. It settled down a bit at the halfway point.
   On another note, I put my Don Alejandro next to my other noncubans as I was surprised at how similar the wrappers are on those Tatuaje  Reserva SW to the wrapper on the Robaina. I’m looking forward to lighting one up as I’m newer to the noncuban side of things (quit buying noncubans years ago once I figured out how to source cubans regularly and not just when one of the neighborhood guys got his hands on a box or ten. 

Those tatuaje SW are excellent. Would put many CC to shame.
