Por Larrañaga Montecarlos TOS Mar 2017

This TOS Mar 2017 represents my darker-wrappered Por Larranaga Montecarlos, which I smoked half the box within six months of acquiring it. The last cigar I've had from this box was in August 2018, so around two years...my how time flies! I've since been smoking my LGR Oct 2017 and LGR Ago 2018 PLMCs, as these had lighter wrappers and were more abundant in caramel from a younger age (and thus more to my liking).

It's not that this TOS Mar 2017 box has been that bad; rather, they've been more dominant in coffee and toast notes in their first 12 to 18 months of rest so I decided to give them more time to develop more of that significant caramel note that Por Larranaga is renowned for.

From the very first puff, I got a wondrous hit of sweet caramel and honey. This stayed until the middle third when the coffee and nut took over. In the last third the cigar again reverted to being toasty and slightly sour, like lemon tea. At this point I decided to leave the cigar there (around halfway through the final third) but I was satisfied with how this box has since developed in the last 24 months.

I hope to re-visit this box in the another 12 months to see how they are coming along. In the meantime, I have my other lighter-wrappered Por Larranaga Montecarlos to enjoy!

All that’s left of my afternoon smoke. Wonky burn but delicious. Shame there aren’t more of these belicosos floating around these days.

Short de Punch LGR JUL 19Smoking very well now despite its young age. If you love Petit Punch, then you would enjoy this very much.Recommend to stock up at less than $100/box.

Ready to smoke yet? I have a few resting but tempted to get one out to smoke.

Evening, They are starting to be more approachable. Still a rough around the edges but in a enjoyable way. IMHO.

Think I'll just let them rest till Nov and see how they taste after a year of rolling.

C&C with a PLMC LGR Jul 17. Even the wet in the air from earlier rain didn’t spoil the caramel notes.

SCdlH Principe (LGR NOV-17) for breakfast - 6.5 gms, a little light but a good draw.  Finally, a cool low humidity morning in FL !  These are smoking very well right now; very smooth with just a hint of molasses.

Diplomáticos Bushido 2014 - Edición Regional Asia Pacifico TOS Oct 2015

The tapered head on this special Asia Pacifico Regional Edition tells you that this is a quality cigar. They were a big hit when they first came out in 2015, they were practically sold out by the beginning of 2016, so how are they in 2020?

Like my last Diplomaticos Bushido I enjoyed last year, this was mild and easy to smoke and retrohale. The flavours were reminiscent of light coffee and cream, aged cedar, sourdough, capsicum and paprika spice, with these last two latter flavours the main dominant ones consistent throughout the cigar.

Thus, in summary, they were flavoursome, mild and aged when first released and after five years they are a little milder and refined, yet still 'pack-a-punch' in terms of flavour. If you have these and haven't smoked them in awhile, make sure to re-visit these soon!

Gifted by golf host....way over-humidified. Didn’t affect flavor but burn and draw were problematic. Good lesson in keeping the stogies around 65rh.  I bet this was 74.

Illusione Fume D’Amour.

I would recommend these for anyone looking to try a less pepper laced Nicaraguan Cigar. It has a little age and is smoking phenomenal.

No Ligero as I understand but still Medium in power
