Popular Post JohnS Posted August 30, 2020 Popular Post Posted August 30, 2020 Montecristo No.4 UEB Ago 2018 According to popular cigar enthusiast consensus, Montecristo No.4s are synonymous with over-production and inconsistency. Luckily, these UEB 2018 code boxes of Montecristo No.4s have been excellent overall, with very few duds due to construction or flavour. I have a UEB May (12 cigars left) and UEB August (4 cigars left) box that I've been smoking through in the last twelve to eighteen months. Montecristo, as a brand, tends to be characterised by cocoa, coffee and cream flavours in various inclinations. These two UEB boxes have stood out for their nuttiness and citrus twang, which I've highly rated in these cigars. Today's Montecristo No.4 from the UEB August box was nutty and contained a citrus twang core. However, if I were to rate it in comparison to other numerous excellent cigars I've had from these boxes, I would have to state that overall it was unbalanced as a cigar and this fact let it down. Mind you, I still felt it was an above average Montecristo No.4. Yes, if I had some more cocoa and milk coffee notes in this cigar it would have been just perfect. Alas, I hope the next Monte 4 from the box will be! 25

Popular Post Happy2BeHere Posted August 31, 2020 Popular Post Posted August 31, 2020 First MAG 46 tonight, I definitely prefer the Connie 1 now that I’ve had both, but the burn was great on this Tried this out with my coffee this morning, I got it as a couple of singles, so not sure what year it’s from. Lots of edges, so going to let its sibling rest a good long time before I try it. But I still got glimpses of a delicious sweetness I’ve heard others talk about with the fuerza 21
Popular Post JohnS Posted August 31, 2020 Popular Post Posted August 31, 2020 Punch Short de Punch TPO Sep 2019 The Punch Short de Punch is a new regular production addition to the Punch marca. Its length is only 4 mm (or ⅙ of an inch) shorter than a robusto and secondly, it takes quite some time to smoke. A robusto would normally take me around 70 minutes to smoke but this usually takes me 90 to 100 minutes to finish! In regards to flavours, these Punch Short de Punch cigars tend to be fairly consistent in delivering classic Punch notes of sour cream, leather, cedar and Cuban twang. They're certainly not a complex cigar, but if you like Punch in general then I'd recommend that you give this a try, after all, they do come in 10-count boxes. Today's Punch Short de Punch was welcome return-to-form as my last one was sub-par for my liking. This was excellent in comparison. 29
Popular Post torsion Posted August 31, 2020 Popular Post Posted August 31, 2020 Gifted '16 Punch Punch from@Bartolomeo, bro you were completely right with this one, smoking so well! For whatever reason it's taken me at least 2 years to get to this after this was sent to me in NYC. One of those true BOTL that I always used to see contributing to various forums (a lot here when I was initially learning about our sport) and actually smoked a vast and wide variety so I've always valued your view and opinions when reading your reviews. Don't see you posting as much lately but life priorities change and social media certainly isn't everything..hope life is well and managing to smoke a few cigars here and there One of those realisation moments, I've never bought a full box of these but this example again shows regular production done right.Such a decent size as well, comfortable and for me perfect ring gauge.

A very enjoyable smoke IMO. These Pacificos are smoking marvelously right now. I had one with me this weekend but didn't have the time to smoke something that large. Agreed, in a sweet spot right now
