2019 JLS2. Good smoke but needs more aging.

Would you say it was strong on the coffee, light on the fruit at this stage of its youth?

Very nice! Huge Boli fan but never had one...how are they? Typical full Boli flavors?

Quite full bodied. Very intense on the barnyard/stable notes. 

Uncharacteristic dark chocolate as many EL present due to the wrapper. 

Went through a box previously within a year or two of release. Very good at the time though a few years more have done wonders!

Thanks! This stick is from a PSP 6 pack I had picked earlier this summer from 24:24 to try. It smoked fantastic. Whitest ash I have seen on a Cuban.

I’ve done that before but...I don’t have a cutter here. I bite off my caps like some uncivilized Visigoth barbarian. 

Come on now Karl, be better than that ?

It was fantastic. I’ve had it my humidor for 2 years now. 
it had amazing carmel sweetness with leather, cedar, and some occasional floral notes.  One of the best non Cubans I’ve had.

Friday noon time sun so good even though it was chilly. Chose a Reyes which was great.

Any time is a good time for a Cuban cigar.

My second to last one from the box and one of the best! This one was rolled a little larger RG than the rest and slightly overweight at 7.9 gms. - the last one in the box looks like a baby minuto next to this one.  Another pretty wrapper! SCdlH Principe (LGR Nov-17).

El Rey del Mundo Demi Tasse MLU Dic 2018

The greater majority of these El Rey del Mundo Demi Tasses from this box have been plugged or tight and this has had a detrimental impact on my enjoyment of these sticks. Usually I reach for these much more often as they can be quite good for a twenty to twenty-five minute smoke, but I think I've only had two or three all year. Thankfully this ERdM Demi Tasse smoked wonderfully today; I was quite pleased (and relieved)!

It goes without saying that I had a perfect draw, good construction and smoke. The flavours were a nice mix of almond nut, floral notes, honey sweetness and toastiness which all up made for around 25 minutes of bliss.

Wouldn't it be nice if a Habanos distributor brought out a marevas vitola with this flavour profile? It's not likely to happen as we've yet to see a one since the Regional Edition program was introduced in 2005. (Although we have had 7 minutos/perlas/secretos cigar releases in that time.) At least we have the recent ERdM Asia Pacific Tainos, the diminutive Demi Tasse and and the Hermosos No.4-sized Choix Supreme.

Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo du Maire TEO May 2018

I think if I had another experience like the last, when I previously reached for a Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo du Maire, I would have abandoned the oft-forgotten entreactos vitola of the Le Hoyo series. That was an unpleasant, bitter smoke caused by poor rolling, mainly underfilling. I'm grateful that this next one from the box was constructed very well and smoked that way too!

I got typical cocoa, wood and toasty flavours but it was the vanilla spice on the edges which made this a real delight. I even got consistent ash lengths; something which is rare on these smaller ring-gauged cigars.

This Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo du Maire 'capped off'' a great day of smoking on a perfect Spring weekend afternoon. I wish I could have days like this more often when every cigar I reach for smokes above '90 points' and even the espresso coffees I drink with them aren't bitter!

La Gloria Cubans médaille d'or no. 4. Thanks to @JohnS for the cigar.

Cigar weight was a bit light. Started out with spice, and floral flavours. Then shortly after cream, and then fruit. Apple, then apricot. Up to the end of the first third. Second third was bananas and marzipan. Final third was underfilled. Still same flavours, but lighter and more floral. Floral flavours throughout being rose petals and lavender. Would have been 5 stars except for the underfilled part. Smoke time a little over 50 minutes.

First time getting out the gloves. They worked very well as the black material soaks up the rays from the infrared heater. If I got close up to the heater it even got a little too warm.
