Hopefully I'll have time to fire one up tonight and post a pic. Very good to know. I’ve only had a few of this cigar and the ones that blew me away were lighter color

Popular Post throberto Posted June 4, 2020 Popular Post Posted June 4, 2020 Monte 4, picked up as a sixer from 24:24.This is the third I've had and although I can see the appeal I don't think they are for me. I will leave the rest a few years and try again I reckon.Sent from my GM1903 using Tapatalk 27

Popular Post MigsG Posted June 4, 2020 Popular Post Posted June 4, 2020 Two CCs today, just a fantastic relaxed day. Diplo Nortenos after lunch, thanks to @Thirds which was very good. Some kind of rich creamy baked goods flavors. Late afternoon ‘18 RASCC, light stewed fruit, age has smoothed this out. When I get a new box, will probably smoke these within a year, I like them a little stronger and fuller. ‘18 Monte Petit Tubo with an oily wrapper and a flavor I’ve found richer than regular Monte No. 4s. Enjoying this while dreaming of being on a Hawaiian beach ? 34

Popular Post JohnS Posted June 4, 2020 Popular Post Posted June 4, 2020 Montecristo No.4 UEB Ago 2018 The bad news? I'm sorry to report that the golden run I've enjoyed of two separate UEB '18 boxes of Montecristo No.4 boxes (May and August) is over. Okay, I exaggerate slightly, this might be the third or fourth ordinary one in over 30 sticks smoked. When it comes to Habanos cigars, well...that's not too bad! The good news? I still have some more left from this box to enjoy, my enthusiasm hasn't diminished at all from how well this box has smoked thus far! The reason I found this average is because the cocoa and coffee flavours overshadowed the gorgeous nut and citrus twang that I adore in these. Make no mistake, that nut and citrus twang was there, it was just muddled in-between the strong tobacco, cocoa and coffee. So, in conclusion, like my recent Trinidad Topes, I'll forget about this one today and look forward to lighting another soon, probably next week! Sancho Panza Non Plus ABR Sep 2011 No doubt you've heard of the recent deletion of this vitola from the Sancho Panza marca and have since picked up a box. If so, good for you! I'm now down to my last three sticks of this 2011 box and after smoking a variety of Sancho Panza Non Plus from this aged box and some from younger ones, I can confidently claim that the aged ones are more appealing, for me. The reasoning I have was defined within smoking this cigar. I simply enjoyed the simple combination of smooth, mild soft wood, savoury salt and floral note flavours in this aged Non Plus. It was all I needed for an hour. So, those 2018 boxes I have may see some action in the short-term, but I think I will save the majority of those sticks for the longer-term in the hope they smoke as well as this Sancho Panza Non Plus today. 35

Popular Post BlueRidgeFly Posted June 5, 2020 Popular Post Posted June 5, 2020 The weather this spring has been something else. Glad we have cigars ? Really nice D4. Dry boxing has made these 2019's so much better. PLP GOS MAR 19. Two boxes of these, one has beautiful rosado wrappers, the other is full of grayish sticks like this (photo looks better than it really is). The ugly ones have been smoking great. 32

Popular Post bsubtown Posted June 5, 2020 Popular Post Posted June 5, 2020 Pulled out my first Bolivar Belicoso Fino as the family went up to the lake and I have some tractor work to do.I'm shocked at how strong it is. I thought at first maybe I was confused and pulled out a non-cuban cigar. It is very tasty it is very tasty but reminds me why I started smoking Cubans with so much more frequency. This is more of a sit in the shade with iced tea smoke than drive your tractor and plant seed smoke. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk 25 3

How does it compare to the other Upmanns? If your box is anything like mine, I say cut and smoke. Honestly, I have not had the best of luck with the other vitolas in the magnum line. Maybe I had bad examples. Because of that, it's tough for me to compare the 50 with those. From what I've heard from others on FOH, the call to cut and smoke this vintage of the 50s is almost universal. Let's us know what you think if you decide to jump in. 1
