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.

Juan López Selección No.2 MEL Dic 2016

There was an insightful poll conducted on our forum in 2019 in regards to which marca members find the most inconsistent. The three marcas that 'topped' the poll were Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta and Punch. The Juan Lopez marca represents one of my most inconsistent marcas, but not for reasons of satisfaction or disappointment. Rather, I tend to find these either are too strong and overwhelm my palate or are finely-balanced, have pleasant and 'soft' flavours and in terms of smoking value, they can 'punch above their weight', colloquially speaking.

I acquired this box around the turn of the New Year in 2019, had four and liked none, the most recent being in February, May and July last year. The last one I had around six months had diminished in those stronger flavours and I really enjoyed it so I decided to give this box another try today.

This Juan Lopez Seleccion No.2 was very much dominant in toasted tobacco which didn't allow the chocolate and/or citrus characteristics to shine. The previous one from this box was all chocolate and orange from beginning to end, underscored by a coffee and oak spine. It was simply brilliant, which made me elated because I didn't figure I'd get one from the box as good as this in 2019, at least.

I think I give this another six months and see how they are around the four-year mark in December this year.

First time with this, enjoying the driftwood and saltiness. For being fairly ROTT a nice mellow smoke.

A Trinidad Vigia for me this afternoon. Seems to be a bit of a Trinidad day today!

First visit to the local cigar lounge after 2 months.
Nice to be out & about and watch the Bundesliga while enjoying a fine Partagas P 2.
Hope the normal will slowly come back.

Todays mail call prompted me to smoke something ROTT.  This LGR AUG-17 PLMC was fantastic.  Perfect construction, sweet molasses, caramel and whipped cream.
