Love the small size of these.

ULA '14 Corona, and an absolutely great one at that. Flawless construction, all shortbread and milk coffee.

It would be very hard to smoke the first one if I had a cab and would think of their value some years down the road. How did you like it ? 

I have never sold a cigar as tempting as it sometimes is (I’m looking at you BHKs). I buy ‘em to smoke ‘em. 

Way too young and not enough time in the humi yet to make a call but it certainly has punch (no pun intended). Will revisit around the holidays!

Montecristo Gran Piramides, Habanos Coleccion Book 2017

Think of the best Monte 2 you have ever had, and that is what every one of these have tasted like.  Very creamy, with rich chocolate all the way through.

Me too, for the most part, I do more small trades. I bought a box of BHK 54's in early 2012 for about $ 35 per stick if I remember right. I still have 4 sticks left. Glad cause I would never buy them at today's asking prices. I guess the market dictates prices, but its out of control, especially on vintage, RE and LE's. Not to mention, most of the RE's that I have liked better than LE's come mostly in 10 count boxes for the same prices as 25's not too many years ago. I'm really glad I bought most of my stock in 2008 to 2014. I went hog wild the first few years into Cubans. I do know some people who are collecters and sellers and don't smoke those types of cc's are making some serious coin...

Edmundos, UAO AUG 18. Smoking very well. Montecristo DNA.

EMA OCT 08. Nice cigar, light body and smooth but lots of flavor. I like the 2007 P.L. robustos more, but this is still a nice cigar. 

PLPC, EMA ABR 08. Delish !!!

AF Short Story Maduro. Hard pressed to find a cigar this size with better construction and flavor that’s enjoyable anytime..

BOP FEB-19: Love these sticks. Cream, shortbread, vanilla pudding and a slight lemon zest in the final third. Perfect construction and burn on this one.

Quai d'Orsay No. 50  LMB Jun 2019

This Quai d'Orsay No.50 comes from a 10-count 2019 box, and after having perused my Cuban Cigar Website Smoking diary today, I can easily see in my ratings that my 10-count 2018 boxes have consistently rated higher. A number of those 2018 QdO 50s received full marks in those ratings, in contrast none of the 2019 QdO 50s have done so.

This No.50 today exemplifies why this is the case. The 2018 QdO 50s have been mainly soft egg and butter brioche bread, cedar and ginger/toffee sweet for me. The 2019 QdO 50s have been more woody and spicy, like this one today, although it did have a little toffee sweetness and Quai d'Orsay-like citrus to redeem it somewhat.

If you've experienced Quai d'Orsay No.50s like my 2019 batch, then it's no wonder why the No.54 sells so well in comparison on our forum. I have 4 sticks left from my 2019 box and it's a shame that they've being so underwhelming thus far. Perhaps I should leave them for now and return to my 2018 stock? After all, who knows what further time down can do for these? We shall see!

Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.2  ABO Jun 2018

I reached for this Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.2 today because I needed a light cigar after feeling a little queasy in the morning. The cold draw was all cloved spice and vanilla, a wonderful combination that had me anticipating for more!

And yes, this did not disappoint. I got that cloved spice and vanilla sweetness on the edges wrapped around a cedar and light powdered cocoa core pretty much consistently throughout.

I was grateful as this one cigar was enough to redeem the day for me!

C&C this morning UBM JUN 19 picked up from our host. Without a doubt the best example I've tried of the 3 smoked thus far!
