Popular Post Burningman Posted February 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2020 Smoked this one a few days ago. Not sure if it was a Monarcas or Churchill or the age. I'm guessing from what I saw on CCW that it was from around 2006 or so. Just a guess since I did not label it properly and the tubo was nowhere to be found. It was at the bottom of one of my coolers in a random box. Very nice 2.5 hour smoke. Virtually no nicotine kick at all. Punch flavors with licorice and woodsy mushroom taste 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CampDelta369 Posted February 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2020 Morning C&C MC#5. Deliciousness with a blonde hotel coffee... Afternoon OJ&C with Mr. Gonzalez. So different from the MC#5. Wonderful smoke. I completely understand the Perlas freaks on this RG. Great relaxing day of Habanos capped off with a heavyweight. Cheers 27 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Cannot speak for 2016-2017) The only box I have before 2018 is 2015 and it sucks. The 2018 and 2019 sticks I've smoked are high quality. 2019 might need a bit of rest. Any specific box codes to look for from 18? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to try a 2019...couldn't tell much difference from the earlier years. They've all been pretty good, but I think when the vigia is on it is better, for me. Can't wait to try the Esmeralda and other new vitolas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dcbuss Posted February 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) Didn’t plan on shooting this out...but BOP may 19 Monte 4 from October’s 24:24...the first one is smoking like a delectable chocolate lovers dream. * I’m very new to this Cuban, and more specifically FOH ‘hobby’...buuuuuut to anyone new like me, and who averages 2 box purchases a month( aka: price shops) throughout the year. The extra coin for me, since my first FOH purchase is well worth it. Edited February 12, 2020 by dcbuss 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chucko8 Posted February 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2020 C&C with a Petit Royales. This was gifted to me by @Derboesekoenig which I’m truly grateful. I had never tried this prior and had to actually look up what it was named. I found it to have milky mocha and cherry profile and was quite enjoyable. I was pleasantly surprised and would happily smoke one again. C&C with 2014 PLPC picked up on FOH auction and generously gifted to me by @KavalanWhisky. After having a 2017 PLPC a few days earlier I was able to differentiate the ageing process. There is a substantial difference on the smoother creamier aspect with the 14 and the caramel notes were enhanced greatly. I also picked up more of a biscuit/ graham cracker note in behind which was delicious. I noted that there was quite a difference on the wrapper between the 2 also. The 17 had a darker wrapper where as the 14 was lighter and not as rough. I have prior had similar experiences with PLMC’s where I have preferred the lighter wrapper over the darker and find the sweeter characters come through more on the lighter wrappers. IMHO I will gravitate more towards the light on the PL’s of these formats. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you enjoyed! The RyJ PCs are often overlooked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted February 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2020 Cohiba Secretos (circa 2008) I'd like to thank @Trevor2118 for this 2008 Cohiba Secretos as this Maduro 5 Reyes still packed a punch of flavour even though it was over 10 years aged. Like my previous aged Secretos around six months ago, its intensity has rescinded with age, so it's now a nice medium-strengthed smoke. The chocolate and coffee still dominate, with some Cohiba grass/hay in its spine and some nice floral notes on the edges. The difference in this Secretos compared to my last one six months ago was the hint of oak in its spine. It certainly made for a fine smoking experience on a warm summer's day, there was no hesitation in nubbing it! 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
