Not a Habano, but a very good cigar. Illusione Singulare Kadosh. DEC 14 2016! These aged very well. Bought the rest of the box off a friend!

Love me some Illusione Singulares (Illusione in general, really).  Glad to hear they age well!

Upmann Magnum 46 from 2018. Got a beauty right here. The prelight sweet aroma is so enchanting. Smokes very well despite its youth. Not sure how long this box would last for me to truly exhibit the full potential.

‘13 HUHC for tonight.

HDMDC LOM JUN 13. Very pleasant but no wow factor.

Decided to go with a Upmann Conny #1 today, box code PLM MAY 11. Following another thread on the forum, I also decided to try and combine with fresh pressed orange juice and coke - OJ certainly was the preferred pairing in this case ?

Overall a nice cigar with a razor sharp burn and nice wrapper color. Subtle Upmann flavors, with the key word being very mild flavors. Although a nice experience, I'm probably not going to restock on these once they are gone - considering the amount of alternatives ? Would probably better fit as a morning smoke for many (in my opinion), however, my smoking experience has not reached a level where I smoke with my morning coffee. So the remaining 8-9 cigars left in the box will probably be allowed to age further for some time ?

Du Depute should get me through a work conference call.

A 2009 RyJ Duke to reward myself of 3 hrs mowing the lawn.
Sadly lacking body and intensity.
Quite a boring experience compared to others I have smoked.
Oh well - can't be all good ... ?

Monte Dantes 2016.  I know these don't get a lot of love here but I really like them. Construction, smoke output and flavors always spot on for me.

There was a box up tonight on Bond Roberts that I just missed!  Maybe next time...

I like Dantes alright, just not everyday ... ?

BTW : we seem to have a similar ashtray, like it.

Really enjoying these Famosos lately.

It's a great ashtray!  I have to admit I got the idea from @FatherOfPugs!

looks great! how was the vigia? get that nice buttery note? .......do you ever just wet and twist the pigtail off? it actually makes for a really nice draw on those..i find cutting them like that opens the draw too much and a lot tend to be really open and sometimes underfilled..thoughts?

It delivered those cedary, coffee, nuts & earthy notes. Vigia has always been flavorful. To have those buttery or creamy notes, I believe it needs more age to come thru(4-5 years of age). My previous box from 2015 (SUE MAR15) blew me away with those notes. Trying my best to keep my hands off for now. 

I agree with the really open draws like what you said. I use a punch mostly on Vigia due the said reason. Sometimes straight cut if I couldn't find my puncher. Maybe I'll try twisting the pigtail the next time.

We did Dominican burgers tonight (chimis) so figured I’d keep it todo Dominicano. This Opus X Double Corona is just phenomenal, must be at least 10 years old. I was hesitant lighting it, nothing worse than a mediocre DC, but this thing....wow.
