FOH'ers Daily Smoke

[Puros Y Vino]

HdM Du Dolphin from 1997. Smoking wonderfully. Roasted chestnut, honey, anise and cedar.

BTO ABR 12 Cola. Skinnies really make me slow down and "sip" the cigar. Creamy vanilla bean, slight cedar and grassy notes come and go. Throughout, it has the, what I call, "Cohiba" signature flavor, great tabacco and the 3rd fermentation must be responsible for this. Does anyone know what the barrels were used for previously ? I'm going to guess rum...  ?

Thank you!  I was pretty pumped about it.  Not usually one to ask for pictures with the players buy I couldn't pass this one up.

Bellicose on front of my shipment that I thought got lost #covidshipping

Vigia from our host. Love these with coffee and F1 qual. Then later today if weather cooperates will have to watch ManCity on deck as well 

[Kongelunden]

Time for a bit of C&C. SCLDH El Principe - box code URG MAR 11. Nice smoke to a very regular coffee 

[Jbhunter223]

‘17 du depute. Been smoking the heck out of these lately.  This one has been the best so far. Guess it’s time to stock pile....

Been doing a ton of traveling across North Texas. Plenty of time to have a smoke.

Fabulous RyJ Ex#4 last night from 2017, and a good SLR Regios from 2015 today. The sweeter side of Cuba. Is it irrational that I so much prefer the Hermoso #4 size to a Robusto?

I'm still waiting for 6er PSP HQ RyJ Ex4, but your description sounds promising! I like Corona Extra and Robusto as well

What turned into a fireproof serie le Hoyo. Tactic became advance burn of the wrapper. #cigarchess

Romeo y Julieta Aguilas 2005 - 130 Aniversario Humidor (circa 2005)

It's unlikely that you've come across a review on the Romeo y Julieta Aguilas before. Heck, it's just as unlikely that you've even heard of it. If you haven't...don't fret! This cigar came paired with the Romeo y Julieta 109 in a Special Release 130 Aniversario Humidor, released in 2005. There were 250 Humidors made with 50 cigars of the 109 and 50 cigars of the Aguilas included. I was fortunate enough to get this cigar in a trade with @ATGroom, the proprietor of Cuban Cigar Website.

Incidentally, the only other place that you are likely to cite a review on the RyJ Aguilas is on Alex's very funny Dusky Beauties blog here:

https://www.duskybeauties.com/romeo-y-julieta-aguilas-130-aniversario-humidor/

The review is an excellent read and yes, that funny story within that article is even funnier when Alex confirmed it when I asked him about it a few years ago!

The Romeo y Julieta Aguilas 2005 - 130 Aniverario Humidor cigar is a 50 ring gauge x 143 mm (or 5⅝ inches) Perfecto, tapered at the foot and slightly less so at the head. In his review on Dusky Beauties, Alex noted how nutty and creamy this cigar was. For me, I reflected how that nutty taste was more akin to a quality cedar, otherwise this cigar had elements of cherries, cream and spice on the edges which unequivocally suggested that this was indeed the best Romeo y Julieta cigar I've ever sampled!

I feel that I'm in good company though. @Trevor2118 affirmed how spectacular this was late last year when he smoked the same cigar:

https://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/topic/99094-fohers-daily-smoke/?do=findComment&comment=990105

Similarly, when Alex smoked 20 Romeo y Julieta cigars for his Dusky Beauties blog in 2016 he ranked the Aguilas 130 Aniversario Humidor the cigar as the best.

https://www.duskybeauties.com/romeo-y-julieta-roundup/

All that's left for me to do in this short mini-review is to thank Alex again for the trade and the opportunity to sample such a magnificent cigar. I was truly honoured!

After dinner RA and some red.

Diplomáticos Bushido Edición Regional Asia Pacifico 2014.
These eventually came out in 2015.
I've smoked enough of these now from different boxes from 2015/16 to say they're all hype IMO.This ironically being probably the best one so far, currently burning pretty shit and relights galore.
One of, if not the best presentations in terms of releases with the beautiful artwork and box, the Nro.109 50 x 184mm vitola feels great in the hand (without sounding p.ornographic lol)
Looking forward to smoking some other 109's like the Sancho Panza Eslavo which I know is a better cigar, trying the ERdM Kon Tiki 1973 and the LGC Orgullosos (try pronouncing that after a few drams!)
