H. Upmann Connoisseur No.1 BRE Nov 2018

Onto our ever-present journey of discovery in regards to the quality of this late quarter-2018 box of H.Upmann Connoisseur No.1 and it seems that things are starting to look quite positive. I have now gone through 40% of the box (i.e there are 15 cigars left) and excepting one or two, they've been very good to excellent thus far.

This example was again a little lighter on shortbread in comparison to other H.Upmann Connoisseur No.1s I've had, but it made up for it in the way the coffee, cedar, licorice and twang was so well-balanced throughout the cigar. It was uniformly excellent throughout the thirds, I had no issue nubbing it down to the final third.

In the interest of remaining objective, I handed out this cigar to some dear friends to smoke with me (i.e @Fuzz and @jay8354), let them smoke it through to the first third and then preceded to mention the on-line discussion over the quality of this box code. Their experience confirmed my positive assessment of the cigar as reported in this review and in the standard of the H.Upmann Connoisseur No.1s I've smoked recently.

It goes without saying that I was well-pleased to hand out a cigar that smoked so well and was so pleasing to the palate for all three of us on a fine social occasion.

Thanks for the kind words.  
 

Yes, I do sell them.  DM inquiries.  
They’re not cheap.  They’re completely made on a manual lathe.  But they’ve been well received.

I have no idea what you are talking about @JohnS. I do not provide any endorsement for the H.Upmann Connie No.1 BRE NOV 2018 ..... unless I am paid.

Day 10 of my Covid diagnosis, still no symptoms, of course it’s during an amazing stretch of weather.  I said screw it, and decided to have some cigars I’ve been missing.  All 3 were great but that Punch Punch was the star of the day.

Punch Double Coronas PEL EPOO

I'd like to thank @jay8354 for gifting me this fine cigar to review. After smoking it, I can again affirm that 21 years for a Double Corona (the date code equates to May 1999) such as this one in no way diminished the flavours nor the fine quality of the smoking experience.

If you smoke a Punch Double Coronas young, say 12 to 36 months, you'd likely find that they will have an array of flavours such as wood or cedar, leather, earthiness, citrus and nuts but mainly they will dominate more in those woody and leather flavours. As they age well over the 10 to 15-year mark you can get them more softer in those wood flavours, more fruity and a disposition to tart flavours.

The wood in this Punch Double Corona was like light cedar, the fruitiness was like currants, it had a citrus tart flavour to it and soft baking spice. The flavours remained mainly uniform throughout so the cigar did not have a great deal of evolution or complexity, but it was fine the way it smoked, nonetheless.

Oh man that site just depressed me as I know that snow is in my near future.  Where are you located? Hopefully your in Barrow Alaska and not just a bit west of me.

Played maybe my last round of golf this year (PA) and am enjoying a Magnum 46 in this 70F weather!

Coeur d’Alene Idaho. Fairly normal for this time of the year. Have to smoke minutos early in the day as the sun is down before 5 now.

Dry boxed this 2019 RASC for over a week as an experiment. Damn the flavors popped!! I could finally taste the stone fruit that El Prez mentions in his review..
