The first one I fired up earlier this year shows great potential however, I didn’t think it was ready. Glad to hear that you feel they are coming along. I plan to wait a year before trying again. I do think these will turn into something special. 21 hours ago, FatherOfPugs said: Another gorgeous day! Rolls of thunder this afternoon, but it went around us. Juan Lopez Obus ER Francia '06.

Popular Post StogieSteve23 Posted July 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2020 BRE OCT-19 Connie 1 from a 24:24 6er. This stick looks like Leatherface and unfortunately is smoking a bit like it too, but still enjoyable flavors. Side note, there is road paving going on here in our development that's been going on for almost two weeks now... Necessary, but very annoying at the same time. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted July 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2020 Vegas Robaina Don Alejandro OMR Oct 2015 Vegas Robaina was introduced as an addition to the Habanos catalogue in 1997. It was named after the famous Cuban tobacco grower, Alejandro Robaina, whom the Cuban Government decided to honour as the preeminent tobacco grower in Cuba in the 90's by naming a marca after him. Apparently the Don was unhappy with the direction that Habanos S.A took with the marca named after him prior to his passing in 2010. Subsequently, Habanos S.A has not produced a special release Vegas Robaina cigar since Alejandro's grandson, Hirochi left the island to produced a line of Non-Cuban cigars in 2014 (he has since returned to the Robaina farm in Cuba). So, it would be credible to say that there is a 'bubbling' of tension in the relationship between the Robaina family and Habanos S.A up to the present time. Deleting the cigar named after the most famous Cuban tobacco farmer since the Cuban Revolution in 2017 surely would not have helped things. The Don Alejandro, as mentioned, was available until 2017. It was a very slow seller (as is the Vegas Robaina marca overall). The late '15 Don Alejandro I smoked tonight has rested a little under 5 years and I wanted to re-visit it as Vegas Robaina is known for its prominent chocolate profile, and according to my palate, brands that share this dominant flavour profile tend to peak in the 3 to 5 year window, although I admit this is a personal generalisation and not a rule. Similarly to the last VR Double Alejandro I had around 15 months ago, this Double Corona was 2 hours and 15 minutes of pure bliss. It had a perfect balance of chocolate, a slight raisin sweetness, a hint of sour dark cherries, and a core baking spice element from beginning to end. For me, the baking spice was the dominant flavour and is something I look for and appeals to me in certain marcas as a sign of aging. It's such a shame that Habanos S.A has discontinued this particular cigar named after a much-admired figure of the Cuban cigar industry. It stands out in its flavour profile amongst the remaining Double Coronas, there's simply no other Double Corona like it. 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLC Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 SCdlH Principe (LGR NOV-17) these are just staring to get good. Could probably use another 6 months. This one 7.3 g's but a lot of heavy-weight in this box.Cracked a new box with the same code today and thought it was good but hopefully continues to improve as they are normally pretty consistent.

Popular Post Bijan Posted July 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2020 Cuaba tradicionales. Smoking very well and I finally tasted that peanut butter flavour everyone is talking about. Great draw, terrific smoke volume. Pretty good for what seems to be the worst regarded Cuaba, which is itself possibly the worst regarded Marca 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
