Poolside RASS after a recovery Monday...

Following up with a ‘12 shorty. It’s been a good afternoon...

(ESL SEP-18) HU MAG 50 - first one was fantastic, this one was a windpipe - oh well; @Devo liked his so we're batting .666 with this box so far!  Couldn't finish mine so went to a (LGR NOV-17) SCdlH Principe to finish the evening.

Monte PE (LMB JAN-18) dry boxed this for about 10 days at 57% rH - too much - band was really loose and was a windpipe.  So, tried the dipping in water trick from FOHrensics and couldn't believe how much the draw improved as well as it was a great smoke!  Pretty cool!

How was the new Ardbeg? I’ve heard good things about it and am excited to try and see a new age statement added to their regular lineup...

H. Upmann Petit Coronas LUB May 2014

The H.Upmann Petit Corona was discontinued by Habanos S.A in 2017. In comparison to other marevas cigars, such as the Montecristo No.4, it was never a big seller. This was evident from the availability of stock after the cigar was mooted for discontinuation. I seem to remember that on-line vendors had them in stock for the greater majority of that year.

This H.Upmann Petit Corona was similar to my last one a few months ago. That is, it was quite good, but not as creamy as I like it. Flavours were similar too with light espresso coffee, cedar, shortbread, a hint of white pepper and a some licorice sweetness. Creaminess was again evident but it was minimal. I'm starting to equate the licorice flavour in this intermediate period between youthful long-term rest and older long-term aging as the flavour one gets in the crossover period when these have more leather in that youth and more creaminess in their long-term age period.

H. Upmann Magnum 46 (circa 2018)

If we ask ourselves honestly, I'd think we'd admit that we all have one or two marcas or vitolas we predominantly don't favour despite trying over a long period of time. Despite my last H.Upmann Magnum 46 around 4 months ago being excellent, the H.Upmann Magnum 46 is one such cigar, for me.

In general, I find H.Upmann needs time, for my taste, to reach its peak and I definitely favour the softer shortbread-laden varieties such as the Connossieur A, Connoisseur No.1 and Sir Winston rather than the powerhouse, when young, espresso-laden Magnum 46, Half Corona and (now deleted) Petit Corona. In any case, I will tend to age my Upmann stock, except I'm partial to smoking the aforementioned 'softer' cigars (in terms of flavour intensity) younger.

This Magnum 46 had some harshness on the edges, some shortbread and cedar, a core strong, dark espresso coffee and a little licorice sweetness which overall made it quite an acceptable cigar; it just wasn't to my preference.

Kudos to you if you love the H.Upmann Magnum 46 and it is in your 'go-to' rotation. One thing I can say about it, it is a dependable cigar; both in flavour and construction, in general.

PET DIC 16. HUPC it’s a hot one today

N3

thanks @5thStarChicago

After an unexpectedly great N1 experience, I had high hopes, but I'm not a fan after this example.

A little tunneling in the 2nd 3rd and a snap rain shower right after lighting could be the issue; to me, this pushes alot of HQ NC buttons but never showed any CC class, unlike the N1 or Hamlet 25th which I loved from a half inch in.

Still really good, just didn't scratch my itch.

So that's the story of the 1st 3/4. The last couple inches blew the doors off. Still very NC, but a couple laps of redemption at the end. I'd certainly try this again. Still holding out for the N2

TUA DIC 19 Salomones
First one from the box and all I gotta say, the smell of the wrapper is strong! I can smell the nicotine lol. This might not be a good idea to have this cigar so young. Let’s go!

Party short ROTT. And hoyo du Maire also ROTT. The du Maire was badly squished but smoked very well better than the previous one I had that was a little too tight. The rest of the box is fine.

[FatherOfPugs]

Another gorgeous day. Rain chances go up the rest of the week so getting in what I can!

SUM May 15. This has been an excellent box.
