Jul 11 monte 2. Amazing.

Connie A, probably 2018 or 17. Maybe I need to give these a lot longer. I’ve had one great Connie A with a few more years on it, but otherwise I just don’t love ‘em. Not the majority view I know.

[Edit] To elaborate... I’ve never really got the flavours I most want from Upmann. I get what I think of as a classic ‘tobacco’ flavour, and a strong (and pleasant) twanging acidity. So I think of them as rather neutral. Whereas for example I love the sweetness of Romeo, the creamy cocoa of Monte, the richness of Partagas or (in deeper register) Bolivar. Etc etc. I just never find myself thinking “mmm what I really want right now is an Upmann.” Clearly many very experienced smokers disagree, and maybe one day I’ll see the light!

To each his own! I prefer the A over the B but I know lots of people would say I'm crazy for that opinion.

Monte Tubos, not sure of year exactly as it was a gift. Circa 2017.

Decided for an Oldie but goodie: a Punch Royal Selection no 11. The box code has faded quite a bit over the years, so can't read it clearly - but the cigars are from 1998.

Overall a very nice cigar, and this goes for every single smoke in the box. Too bad I only have 4 left now, and too bad these have been discontinued. Amazing and classical punch taste with lots of fruit, along with a razor sharp burn and very finely (but firm) ash throughout the entire smoke.

Wasn’t a huge fan of the A either, until I cracked a 2015 box recently. All have been amazing. I have high hopes for the B, which I also think will blossom after a few years.

Romeo y Julieta Churchills GOM Ago 2018

What more can I say about a cigar that has been consistently outstanding since 2017? Yes, I have every confidence that if you've sampled the Romeo y Julieta Churchill for yourself lately that you'd know what I mean about quality cherry fruit, cocoa, tobacco, rosewater, sweet anise, turkish delight-type flavours.

The smoking diary inventory on Cuban Cigar Website allows members to rate their cigars out of 5. Below are my marks, which stand as an obvious testimony to how consistently great the RyJ Churchill has been across a number of box codes:

1. OBM Dic 2016 25/30   (Average 4.16/5)
2. OBM May 2017 20/25 (Average 4/5)
3. ASO Nov 2016 24/25  (Average 4.8/5)
4. UEB Ago 2017 26/30  (Average 4.33/5)
5. GOM Ago 2018  8/10  (Average 4/5)
6. BUP May 2019  5/5    (Average 5/5)

You may be wondering what Romeo y Julieta Churchills were like prior to 2016 (or thereabouts). Put it this way, when the Romeo y Julieta Gran Reserva release for 2015 came out, it wasn't a Churchill cigar that adorned it; rather it was a Wide Churchill cigar. Gran Reserva Series releases nearly always come out in 'flagship' cigar releases, i.e. recent releases include the 2017 H.Upmann Sir Winston and the 2019 Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona. I'd have no doubt that if a Romeo y Julieta Gran Reserva release was to come out today, it would have to be a Churchill. Yes, no doubt about it!
