I have boxes from 2016, 2017, and 2019, and counterintuitively, the 2019s taste the best. Go figure. ?♂️?♂️?♂️ So I am making my way through that box, and I'll get back to the other two boxes later. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post torsion Posted June 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2020 Vegas Robaina XV Aniversario Regional Edition 2012. It was either this or the Quai D'Orsay Capitolio for the Sublimes vitola tonight. For those that know the saying "Sun's out, gu.n's out" Still chasing the taste from the first one I smoked a few years ago gifted by brother Mike Choi of Boutique Smokes which was lush. This is the second from another batch I got, I had similar thoughts as I do with this one, weird start almost slight bitterness but it's subsided now I'm about half way (as I finish writing this post the flavour is delicious!) Anyway enjoying the larger formats whilst our weather permits, we all know how quick it changes so I'm not chancing anything. More big smokes coming over the next few days.

Popular Post Pigpen Posted June 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2020 A couple of sticks today, starting with this little lovely from FOH Auctions, SCDLH, from 2015/6 Then found this rattling around the back of my humidor, not sure of year but got it 2/3yrs ago. I know the Anejados range is not to everyone’s liking but was not a bad smoke, although it got nicer right down at the last knockings Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted June 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2020 Quai d'Orsay No. 50 LMB Jun 2019 I had written in a recent review on the Quai d'Orsay No.50 that my 10-count 2019 box had not smoked anywhere near what my 10-count 2018 had. I had found, in general, that the 2018 QdO 50s have been mainly soft egg and butter brioche bread, cedar and ginger/toffee sweet in flavour whilst the 2019 QdO 50s have been more woody and spicy. Today's Quai d'Orsay No.50, from my 2019 box, was actually quite good, although not as light in body as my 2018 examples. I did enjoy the egg and butter brioche pastry core flavour, a little ginger, cedar and roasted hazelnut. I also did have to smoke this slower to appreciate its more intensive profile on the palate. Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de Rio Seco ABO Abr 2019 There's not much more I can add in my descriptions of this cigar lately without repeating myself. Yes, they just seem to deliver time-and-time again. The flavour profile was much the same; light cedar, ginger spice, marshmallow and cream texture. My 10-count box of Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de Rio Seco ordered from a 24:24 listing arrived the other day. The box would be lucky to see the arrival of 2021 if any of those cigars smoke as well as my recent HdM Le Hoyo de Rio Seco! 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rhinoww Posted June 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2020 Trying something new. Bought four 10 stick boxes of Monte PE frankly to give three as gifts and smoke one. never had one until right now. GOS MAY 18. Just fired but man what a rich Complex aftertaste. And ROTT. I may pick some more up. If these can only get better w 30 days rest, I’m a believer. These bigger ring gauges are kinda nice sometimes 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueRidgeFly Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 23 hours ago, prshah25 said: How was this cigar? Did it taste to young? I had got a 6 pack from the same clearance deal.. Contemplating if I should dig in or wait.. thoughts? @prshah25 It was my first Corona Especiale ever, so take this with a chunk of salt... I think these will definitely improve, but this was terrific overall. There was a slight bitterness at the start and the very end, similar to what I found in the first 2017 PLPC I had a couple months back, but a tasty bitterness, not harsh or bad at all, and again, slight. I like to take notes when trying new cigars and staring off into space or into my whisky, but I kind of gave up on this one because I couldn't describe it well. It had coffee, nuttiness like almonds, very creamy smoke, kind of the same things I find in a lot of cigars I like, but much better versions of all those flavors and more. Might be the best cigar I've had this year. I'd say try one now ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hotboxx Posted June 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2020 La Trova. After smoking 5 of this box of 10 quickly I slowed down and groomed (temp storage and humidity) this cigar to smoke today. These are big boy pants cigars. Excellent. 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
