How was the RAG? I have the same box getting acclimated in my humidor now. 

 i have smoked 3 out of this box so far, all had quite good construction. IMO they need some time down but you can enjoy them from time to time.

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking they would benefit for a bit of time down.

PL secretos in vail village. I have been ostracized to a park bench because no establishment here allows smoking on the patios. 

Nice stick

It's a great one indeed.  Ben Hogan at one time said it was "the greatest flat course in America."

lots of Earth and spice with a roasted coffee finish. A slight creaminess but nothing compared to The usual thick creamy chewy textured cream flavour I usually get from these, I’m assuming that flavour is what many refer to as Guiness ( I wouldn’t know as I’ve never had guiness)

would give this one a 91/92

Connie 1 BRE AGO 17

The best one I’ve had from the box so far, haven’t enjoyed a Connie 1 this much since I recently finished a 2011 box that was full of creamy caramel goodness. 
The best way to describe this particular one is an expresso with a dash of sugar. Paired superbly well with this milky coffee, when these cigars are on they make for the PERFECT late morning smoke. 

Comfortable 93 points (and I’m probably short selling it)

Fuerza LGR DIC 18

this box has been a rollercoaster so far, wrappers have been perfect however construction has let me down for 3 of the 4 smoked in this box so far. Considering the last one I smoked was sensational (94 points) This one was a muted version of all the delicious cream, caramel, honey and milk chocolate flavours I got from the last one. It was also let down by its poor construction as stated above. 
87 for This one.

Sometimes you feel like a nut -ty cigar. 
 

it may be Boli review weekend. And yes my fav marca. But I need variety. A nutty treat. 
 

code unknown but likely 19. Gift from a buddy who bought a box From FOH This year

2015 RAG with a nice divot

Lancero afternoon 

2018 Esplendido. This one is absolute perfection. 

[TheFullMontecristo]

Coro. Last one too. 2nd last one was plugged solid. Flavors disappointing  in this one and pale in comparison to last night's Mag50. Ive tried siglo 1, 2. 4. 6, pyramides, esplendido, medio siglo over last 7 years. Have never been wowed by any. Cohiba overated in my book. Won't see any more of my $. 

[Paladin865]

A good Sunday drive cigar

[Monocle]

ROTT. Couldn’t resist.

 

Reynaldo Robusto to pass the morning. Can’t seem to keep my hands off of these. Pity I haven’t a clue when I’ll be able to restock.

A PLMC before dinner and a RASS after dinner - the Yolanda CR turned out to be off.

PGT NOV-06 No. 5 for breakfast.  Needing something quick with this mornings coffee. This is the last of a box of 10 that has been anything but good.  Most were fireproof sticks like trying to smoke a 2x4.  This was was the same but I was determined to make it work.  Pulled out the PD and went to work.  I did squeeze a little hard and crack the wrapper, but check out the plug tobacco that was pulled from the cigar.  That's why we love PD's. The draw truly is perfect now. 

Green tea and stale milk chocolate flavors.  

UEB AGO-17 Lusi.  Started off fireproof despite having a great draw.  Opened up after the 1.5" mark.  Black tea, lemongrass and wet cedar with a slight fresh leather note.  

EDIT: Absolutely perfect smoke. Never a relight/touch-up needed. Impeccable construction. Perfect combustion. Razor sharp burn, great flavors.  2 hours of smoking heaven.

As usual I've given away more of these than I've smoked myself!
First try tonight and since it's been a glorious day I wanted to pick something larger.
This does not disappoint, top notch construction (it's windy but look at that ash!) - as soon as I cut and took a cold draw I could tell this one would burn perfectly which it is.The blend is great, medium/medium-full to my palate.Lovely!
The only other La China roll I've smoked was her lancero, gifted to me by Heri at the Partagas shop in November '17 when visiting for the Encuentro Amigos de Partagas.A #tbt photo included for reminiscing
Reminds me of that trip with many great times and friends.
Hope everyone's enjoyed the weekend

She rolls fantastic smokes! The perfect amount of sweetness, nuts and earthy notes.  Always flawless construction on her part. I have about half a bundle of her robustos left and a handful of lanceros/pyramides left.  How do her Salomone's stack up to other rollers like Reynaldo or Alex? I'm sure quite different as she's not known for blending fuller bodied smokes.

I hope you enjoyed your weekend as much as that smoke!

Saint Luis Rey Serie A MOE Oct 2014

It's a shame that Habanos S.A have reduced a marca such as Saint Luis Rey to one regular production vitola, the Regios. Saint Luis Rey as a brand established itself in the 1940s in the United Kingdom and did not do so in other regions, nevertheless, the Regios and the Serie A are quite different cigars, in my opinion, especially as these can be quite complex in their flavour delivery. I find the Regios more approachable young, yet the Serie A can really take you on a journey when smoked with some age on it, as this one was today.

This cigar when aged can give you nuanced, subtle flavours and changes through the thirds. My most recent Serie A's showed notes of powdered cocoa, hay, lemon/orange citrus sweetness and apricot or peach stonefruit flavours in the first third, floral flavours and cream in the middle third and chocolate and espresso coffee in the final third.

This Saint Luis Rey Serie A, at five-and-a-half years of age had more elements of the first third in it. The main flavours I got from it were cocoa, hay, orange citrus and a sprinkling of pekoe tea and spice. It was a finely balanced cigar and upon finishing it I lamented that I have only five Serie A's left in my humidor. I plan to enjoy them with a little more age on them yet.
