Punch Punch A/T ALT FEB 13 watching the Manchester Derby Redneck style leave my Reds with just 6 points needed. Enjoyed with an Oskar Blues Can-O-Bliss Tropical IPA. Super fresh canned just 2 weeks ago.

2nd Nudies N3. The construction is too good. These will go quickly. Got my new hangboard system built and installed.

Hail fellow climber, and fellow N3 smoker! Amazing construction in mine too: beautiful long white ash. Consistent tingle of Szechuan pepper but a lot of interest besides. A great change of pace.

NC day today, smoking a pretty special one, Sin Compromiso. My 2nd one ever and I’d say worth a try for those CC guys looking to taste a premium NC, one of the best.

I have an '18 box that's still super harsh. Havnt been impressed with a single HUHC I've hard yet

 

Ive found that the lighter wrappers are best for these, I have a UEB JUN18 box with dark and thick wrappers, not very good right now. HUHC usually are sweeter to me, these are just dark espresso this far.

Partagas Legado Edición Limitada 2020

This morning, I impatiently started this cigar in the parking lot of the cigar lounge while I was waiting for it to open.  It has a nice aroma, good pre light draw and seems to be of decent construction.  Colorado maduro wrapper, just a shade lighter than the typical maduro/oscuro I see in most EL’s.  

In the first 1/3, I am getting a woody flavor, that to my billy goat’s palate, tastes like oak or a whiskey that has been aged in an oak cask, along with a bitter (in a good way) orange taste that you might find in a orange rind, and some black pepper.  It is eerily reminiscent of the scent coming from the Old Fashioned my friend was drinking at dinner the other night.  

In the second 1/3 black pepper becomes predominant, but I still get hints of the wood, and orange rind that seems to be transforming into another flavor that I can't put my finger on.

The final 1/3 actually has become smoother than the first 2/3.  It is still peppery, but less so.  Add in some leather which I think is giving it it’s smoothness.  The oak is in the background, but I am tasting a lot of spices, like when my wife decides she wants to experiment by adding with 5 or 6 different spices to whatever it is she is cooking for dinner.

My biggest complaint about most EL’s is that they are boring.  They tend to have an overpowering oscuro EL wrapper that completely destroys any complexity that the blend might otherwise have.  That is not the case with this cigar.  It is a good, complex, and enjoyable cigar.  It is not the typical flavor profile that I seek, but if I had bought a box, I would not feel like my money has been wasted.  It is a flavor profile that many cigar smokers like, and for them, given 2 or 3 years to mellow out a little, I think this cigar is a definite win.

Young Epicure No.1

The Epicure train wrecked out on construction issues that killed the flavors, which were initially real nice. All better now with mr. Reliable Shorts.
