Popular Post CampDelta369 Posted April 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2020 Top 3 Morning yard work cigars? Party Shorts Stays lit while distracted by ensuing gopher battle. I can here the little furry bastards laughing in their entrenchment as the planters begin to look like a WWI battlefield. Where is Bill Murray when you really need him? MC#5 round 2. First one from this otherwise excellent box with a loose fill. Oddly enough not completely killing flavor and burn. Stay safe brothers and sisters. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throughout 2019 I've had a 2009 La Gloria Cubana Tainos which I've enjoyed and shared with dear friends so it was nice to have this Dalias-sized cigar to compare to the Churchill-sized Tainos. In regards to the Medaille d'Or No.2 vitola, only the Partagas 8-9-8 and Cohiba Siglo V in regular production share its size. Gone are the Ramon Allones 8-9-8, Bolivar Inmensas, Partagas de Partagas No.1 and Seleccion Privada No.1 and the La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'Or No.2 itself since the early-2000s. How did it compare to an aged Tainos? Simply speaking, this Medaille d'Or no.2 was more fruity and earthy, the Tainos has been more 'cake-like' for me in texture. Both shared some floral notes, nuttiness and creaminess (at times) which necessitated nubbing this to the very end. If only some Regional distributor was willing to bring this out as Regional release, like the 2014 German Ramon Allones 8-9-8. Wouldn't that be nice? Yes, the thought alone is nice indeed! Very nice review here, thanks for sharing! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most visually appealing cigars I’ve owned between the gorgeous Colorado Maduro wrapper and shaggy foot. Just not a big fan of rgs >50. Not sure where this comes in but I’m guessing 54-56. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
