Beautiful weather tonight in Ole Virginny, might be the nicest day of the year... Montecristo Especiale No. 2 REG ABR 19. If I had to choose a favorite Cuban cigar, the Especiale No. 2 would be a contender. Love the size, and the typical Monte flavor profile of chocolate but with lots of earthy notes added, along with some molasses in the latter half... real nice.

Morning C&C Time. MC#2 ULA OCT 14. I'm somewhere in the bottom half of this box and it's been consistently excellent. The construction, burn, and draw are perfecto.

A Carnaval petit corona aged four years reminded me alot of a Padron 1926 Principe Maduro

A five year old 2015 Opus X Magnum O

And finally an excellent 2016 Monte no.4

A pretty terrible CAO Amazon Basin gifted by a friend.

Montesino corona, not terrible for a $4 per stick smoke, I've been attempting to try my way through the Fuente lineup as there are just so damn many lines in that brand. This was ok, very light not completely devoid of flavor but certainly not the best in the linup.

El Rey del Mundo Choix Suprême MLU Abr 2018

Things have certainly come a long way since El Rey del Mundo was truly 'King of the World' (i.e the literal Spanish translation of the marca) of Habanos cigars prior to the Cuban Revolution in the 1960s. Nowadays, there's but two cigars left in regular production, the Choix Supreme and the Demi Tasse, but at least we are getting some reputable special Regional Edition releases of late (such as the South American Kon Tiki 1973, the UK La Reina and the Asia-Pacific Tainos).

This Choix Supreme was gifted to me by @Luca (thank you kindly!) and let me say, I greatly enjoyed it. It was mild, had definite flavours true to the marca such as lemon citrus, shortbread and floral notes and it was a great way to finish the working day. The only shortcoming it had, if I could label it that, would be the wrapper which definitely was less of the 'silky' type and more of the 'fireproof' type. It meant that I had to puff on this cigar more frequently to prevent it going out. Alas it did go out once but overall the great combination of flavours made up for that, thankfully.

Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo du Maire TEO May 2018

It's bad enough to smoke cigars that are under-filled, it's worse when they are under-filled and of the smaller variety. This Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo du Maire lasted me around 20 to 25 minutes and thankfully not a minute longer!

Apart, from struggling to stay alight, it burnt unevenly, was bitter at times and frankly not enjoyable. Sure there were moments of nice cocoa, vanilla and spice but these were too few. Good riddance I say and I look forward with pleasure to smoking something much more palatable from my collection soon (to help me forget about this)!

Another one of these fine SMA NOV 18 Monte #2s. Alas the cool damp weather plays hell with the burn: persistent tunnelling means I have to keep on relighting the wrapper. Essentially I’m only smoking the inside of the cigar. Still a decent smoke, but not what it should be, and not the fault of the cigar itself.
