Happy birthday brother! Glad you enjoyed it and glad we got a chance to smoke and hang out this morning.

Partagas Serie E 2 - MSU April 18

[RDB]

BBF from UBM MAY 18. Solid, slightly rustic smoke. Leather and malt: check. Not that rich and certainly not full bodied, so not a stellar example by any means. But decent and good value.

Partagas 898, MUA ABR 09. I bought this box with about a year of age on it, and have only smoked about 1 stick a year because they were so tannic with ammonia the first couple of years and continued to remain very rough around the edges. So today, I was thinking I have not smoked one of these in the last couple of years at least. I love the presentation and am so sorry I have not seen recent productions and hope it's not on the chopping block and goes the way of the MDO # 2. My patience was rewarded with beautiful aromas upon lighting this stick and a creamy wood and nut flavor, hint of that green pepper flavor in some Partagas cigars. Medium bodied and building a bit in strength as it goes into the final 3rd. along with hints of vanilla and a mild musky and meaty taste. Hard edges gone, and I'm glad I did not give up on them. It seems that the varnished box these cigars come in slows the process of aging but creates an optimal environment for aging cigars a decade and more. Too bad I didn't buy a second box, they are smoking wonderfully. Nubbed it !!?

Original release. Serie E # 2. What a cigar !!!!!!

MAU AGO 19 HU Proprios with an Americano. Enjoyed the cigar, construction had a few minor issues.



No picture but this evening I enjoyed a OBM OCT 15 Siglo IV and forgot the picture until there wasn’t much left. It took almost two hours which for a Corona Gorda is a long time for me. Outstanding in every way. This is only my third from this box and they have all been some of the best Siglo IV’s I’ve had.

MUP Oct 17 Fundy, about 9 sticks into the box. Finally experiencing some memorable flavors and the stardom everyone’s been raving on about. And pleased with the changes a couple years down have brought. As much as I prefer the mongrel of youth in so many CC’s, the first 8 sticks of these just weren’t doing it for me. Cheers!

Sancho Panza Gran Quixote 2017 - Edición Regional Belux LGR Dic 2017

The Sancho Panza Gran Quixote Belux Regional Edition is a curious cigar. Its tapered head and foot-shaped perfecto vitola immediately draws attention as being unique for a special release, and indeed this is the case. Only the 2011 Chinese Bolivar Distinguidos and the 2011 German Juan Lopez Distinguidos have been released in a similar vitola (known by its factory name of Romeo). Otherwise, in regular production the Cuaba Distinguidos has the same dimensions. There have also been three special releases each in the Cuaba and Romeo y Julieta marcas featuring this 52 ring gauge x 162 mm (or 6⅜ inches) length cigar.

This cigar represents the fifth BELUX release (of six in total) and coincidentally perhaps, also the fifth Sancho Panza Regional Edition release. Incidentally, it's easy to confuse BENELUX Regional Editions with BELUX ones when researching these types of cigars. BELUX Regional Edition cigars are released for the Belgium and Luxembourg markets. At one time BENELUX releases covered these two markets and the Netherlands one. Currently Paises Bajos Regional Editions represent the Dutch market on its own.

Although a 2017 release, it wasn't until December 2018 that ten thousand 10-count Slide Lid Boxes were made available to the public (so one hundred thousand sticks in all). It didn't take long for the Sancho Panza Gran Quixote to establish positive 'word-of-mouth' and with it, strong demand.

Normally if I were to light up a identically-sized Cuaba Distinguidos I would fret at overburning the tapered foot. I had no such problem with lighting this Sancho Panza Gran Quixote. In fact, I was almost shocked at how easily and quickly this cigar lit up. The first few puffs made me attentive, the next few had me hooked. I got an array of flavours such as fine oak, espresso coffee, toast, roasted nuts and orange citrus throughout this cigar. The mouthfeel on the draw suggested that it was much older than its two-and-a-bit years. This was no doubt due to the smooth 'velvety' texture of the smoke which, in my mind, elevated it above your standard Sancho Panza Belicosos or Non Plus regular production cigar. The cigar took a little over two hours to smoke. I completed it after approximately 125 minutes.

I am grateful to @Thirds for making this review possible for this was a spectacular cigar. With the LGR La Corona Factory box code and the nut and citrus taste to the blend, this SP Gran Quixote tasted like a cross between the wood and toast of Sancho Panza and the nuttiness of Cuaba (The La Corona Factory is mainly where Cuaba is made). Who knows if it was blended that way? One thing I do know, this is indeed a spectacular cigar. Consider yourself fortunate if you have procured a box!

I rarely smoke cigars before 2pm or so but was out way too late with Rob and the boys last night in Miami so this seemed appropriate.

CoRo from a generous brother on another forum. I don't usually pursue this marque as I have had several mediocre Cohibas, but this one is an excellent example. Nice and clean tangy/toasty profile.
