Popular Post torsion Posted June 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2020 A break from the norm...in the quest to be open minded and change of pace/palate.Sticking to the skinnies,it seems to take me about 2 years to trying stuff I buy.Must of bought this in 2018 not long after they were released so unintentionally aged now.Another first try.Why?1.Even though these are at a premium, of the Davidoff I've tried I've liked alot.Rich and deeply flavourful blends ie Art Edition 20162.Laguito No.1 format. Elegant, classy, full of flavour.This cigar is good (but then I'm expecting it to be), has that New World kick at the beginning but soon calms.Medium/full in body.Shorter finish on the palate than its Cuban counterparts but do I care?Not really because the flavour progression is keeping me interested.Cheers all, Happy Thursday and here's to keeping sane over these months!Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very dry tannic experience, only a couple decent puffs. Letdown H Upman Sir Winston: very solid, I could smoke these every day funny, you could swap the description on these two cigars and describe my experience exactly. -dobbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted June 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2020 Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de Rio Seco ABO Mar 2019 The Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de Rio Seco may only have been with us since 2018 but my what an impact its made! Yes, we may lament its 56 ring gauge, but believe me, this thing sells; it really sells! For me, it's unlike other Hoyo De Monterrey cigars of the 'Le Hoyo' line. I have des Dieux from 2013/14, du Depute and de San Juan from 2015 and with these cigars I always feel that they can still benefit from more time down. I feel no such sentiment towards these recent-2019 de Rio Seco. These are simply smoking superbly right now! I find the large ring gauge is always a challenge to straight cut properly, hence why I often go for a large punch cut with my Credo 3-in-1 Punch Cutter. Today, I went for a straight cut with my Xikar XO Cutter and this did the trick. The draw was also spot on. Like the greater majority of Hoyo de Monterrey cigars, these are light in strength. I enjoyed the cedar, gingerbread and spice aspects to this cigar today, along with its creamy texture. I know I will back for another one from my humidor soon! Montecristo Especiales No.2 REG Nov 2018 This was the first Montecristo Especiales No.2 that I've had this year. The last one I had was in November 2019 and I find they rarely let me down, both in construction and flavour. This one was outstanding from 'go-to-whoa' (i.e. from beginning to end). For a cigar less than two years old, I marvel how light this was in strength and how subtle it was in flavour. Montecristo coffee combined with a powdered milk cocoa, there were hints of vanilla sweetness, almond nut and a creamy texture throughout. Simply wondrous! 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a box of the exact same code that I haven't cracked open yet. I guess it's time to fix that. Thanks for the review, and the inspiration! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try not to overthink pairing too much and just smoke the cigar I want and have the drink I want for the time being. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
