FOH'ers Daily Smoke

2002 Monte #2 tonight with @GVan

 

[LLC]

MEL DIC 16 Sir Winnie. Wow , this was the fifth one from this box and they have all been excellent. Oil outlining the wax paper, perfect construction and flavors that don’t let up. This is what a cigar should be.
Between a great dinner and this cigar I’d say pretty good for a Tuesday.

The second Monte #2 posted tonight (EAR FEB-02) smoked with @Devo and my second son-in-law.  Save these for special occasions and it was a glorious evening watching the sun set with the boys after a Tenderloin dinner served with a very good 2000 Bordeaux.  Both the cigars, wine and company are at an appropriate age for enjoyment.

Wait the Vigia is an old trinny vitola?
Or do you mean the Topes?

Very heavy Senadores. Though it was probably too full bodied since I had the pyramides right before it.

Still using XIKAR Executive II mate? Mine works like a champ even after several years have been passed ?

[StogieSteve23]

TPO OCT-19 Short de Punch.  Smoked last night. Flawless. Peanuts, cream and slight white pepper. Perfect Construction and flavors. 

UAO JUL-18 Medio Siglo.  Absolutely excellent right now.  Vanilla, honey, cornbread and milk chocolate.  Deliciousness in every puff.  

Havana VI is probably my favorite NC line.

Romeo y Julieta Dukes 2009 - Edición Limitada 2009

The Romeo y Julieta Dukes 2009 Limited Edition was the first of its type in regards to its vitola. At 54 ring gauge x 140mm (or 5½ inches) in length, the factory name of this cigar is actually called 'duke', otherwise its broader common name is 'robusto extra'. Two years later the popular Partagas Serie E No.2 was released. Since then we've had five Regional Editions and the 2018 Bolivar Soberanos Limited Edition share this size.

This 2009 Limited Edition cigar received high critical praise amongst aficionados when it was released. It was noted for its bold cherry, wood and spice flavours. How did this one fare in 2020? In a word, it smoked like it would have in 2012, it was that bold!

The first third was gorgeous; cherry and what resembled coconut cream abounded for the first few puffs until some spice kicked in. In the middle third that spice took over with the cherry and some cocoa and wood notes. In the last third the wood dominated. This cigar was the type of Romeo y Julieta that is the antithesis of the current Romeo y Julieta Churchills, which I find a much milder and sweeter.

There are colloquial rumours that surround the Limited Edition program amongst enthusiasts. Firstly, they tend to emphasise chocolate notes due to their maduro-shaded wrappers (true) and secondly, they tend to hit their peak within 12 to 24 months (false). This cigar today provided testament to the fact that Limited Editions can have a long shelf-life indeed!
