Cool setup, Which knife is that?

it is a vintage Western!  Handed down to me from my Grandma.  It is one of my prized possessions.   Nothing too fancy but she gave it to me a few years before she passed.

It was 50 degrees this am. Starting the process of closing my pool today. Nice party PC as I did my work. These Especials are growing on me. Was inspired to revisit the box after @JohnS recent pc summary review.

so what is your point about the rio seco? it got a few good ratings and prices sky rocketed? its a very, very good blend and a decent amount of tobacco in that stick...if you can get them for a good price (relatively 11-13 bucks per stick...this is posibel) then i dont think they are priced exorbitantly especially looking at similar sized/quality sticks 

Most I've seen have been 500 $ plus or so a box. San Juans way less. They are starting to show up on sales though at more reasonable price. San Juan Tubos, 12$ and change a stick. Sale. So at 20+ a stick, I felt De seco, overpriced. Ive never actually smoked one, just the price turned me off honestly. Maybe I've not looked in the right places tho...

Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.2 ABO Jun 2018

The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.2 is a robustos-sized cigar that usually leaves me with two impressions after smoking it; one, it's bland, woody and ordinary or two, it's sweet, creamy and delicious! This HdM Epicure No.2 paradoxically left me with both impressions!

It all started with the draw. Normally I am quite tolerant when it comes to resistance in a cigar, but in general, I like it a little tight on the condition that I can get decent smoke output per puff. At the beginning of this Epi 2 I got a slightly tight draw but very little smoke output. This made the cigar taste woody, slightly bitter and emphasised what little cloved spice there was. I was almost tempted to bring out my PerfecDraw tool, which I rarely do, but thankfully I started to get some more smoke per draw and the cigar hence transformed itself.

Towards the middle of the first third I got some delicious vanilla bean, cream and light cocoa flavours which I really adored. This continued in various consistencies and quantities until the last third when the cigar started to get a little bland and woody again, even spicy.

I nubbed the cigar halfway in the middle third and reflected on the smoke. I can't recall too many instances when a cigar I've had would smoke like this whilst varying from ordinary to sublime. Yes, it was one hell of a ride!

Lazy Sunday afternoon with a ‘19 SP Belicosos and a light beer. Such a great combination.

I’ve had many great NCs but nothing still seems to top a CC experience when the CC is firing on all cylinders.

C&C Short Punch TPO Oct 19. Picked up this box from our host 7 months back and first time trying one. I’m pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable it is. The punch spine is on display and even had a slight touch of star anise.

Good week

Custom from a friend today while doing some homework. Also smoked an ALO SEP 16 RASS but didn’t take a picture.

Great Sunday afternoon, started with an Arturo Fuente doing yard work- had some burn issues.  Saved the day with a Monte #4 UEB May18 - redemption! 

I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend.

You might want to check the FOH international store.  Rio Secos are currently listed at $370. They also occasionally pop up on 24:24 for even less than that.

Some great smokes this weekend with @JohnS 

- Romeo y Julieta Exhibicion No.4 (ABO Ago 18)

A tad bitter to start with notes of cocoa and nut. At the halfway point the cigar started to lose its rough edges. The burn was good and it was constructed well.

- Partagas Maduro No.1 (TUE May 20)

I cant believe how smooth and well balanced this cigar was only just at 3 months of age! HSA have done it right with these. Great notes of cherry, and spiciness on the retrohale. 

Thanks so much John for sharing these smokes with me! It was great!
