La Flor de Cano Grandiosos 2013 - Edición Regional Asia Pacifico ROL Oct 2013

The La Flor de Cano Grandiosos is a 2013 Asia Pacifico Regional Edition that didn't begin to flourish, in my view, until it hit around the five-year mark. The greater majority of box codes for this release have been ROL Oct 2013, which is also the box code of my box which I've just 'cracked' open.

This LFdC Grandiosos smoked today is just over seven years of age, and it smoked a little differently to my last one I had around twelve months ago. My last one had a floral, citrus, almond nut and light cocoa 'on the edges' blend and had a bit of spice to it. This one was more a combination of cedar, hay, almond nut and light cocoa, again with the addition of vanilla or cinnamon spice to compliment the mild-medium strength of the cigar.

So, in summary, this wasn't as great as my last one but it was still very, very good! If you feel inclined to smoke a LFdC Grandiosos in the near future, be mindful of under-filling as these can be prone to that. Construction and draw on this was impeccable all the way.

A Lusitania on a PERFECT afternoon. One of the last we will have in the Carolinas for some months.

2015 Edmundo....these have been awesome

This 2016 Monte 2 is standing in for an irredeemably plugged Lusitania, and is doing so admirably.

Cohiba Lancero on a relaxing Sunday. I guess it looks like a treat to them too!

Culebras. My second ever stick and it's as tasty as the first. I wonder if the blend would be more popular if it was sold as individual sticks

It absolutely would!

How are the San Juans smoking? I have not cracked my box yet.

LGC Tainos OSU NOV 01.  Almost perfect

La Trova RAG MAY 19. The first one ROTT was excellent with butter, salted popcorn, and other earthy goodness. The last few here have been lacking any of that and seem to have a bitter edge and ashy finish. This one was similar. Very mediocre indeed. It was pitched after 2/3 which is not what I like to do on this pricey stick. I will bury the rest deep in the humidor and revisit next Christmas. 

HUP#2 BRE DIC 18 PSP smoking fantastic now. Lucky to pick up another box last week

This one was from SOP DIC19 clearance box of 10. It was good young cigar which needs more time down.

How do you rate the BCJ to other small format Minutos and Perlas? I have not been able to allocate some samples. Worth a try?

Would you be able to advise where I can get the white band at the foot or you made it yourself? I need to start labeling my sticks or I will loose track.

Definitely worth a try. This one was a little strong yet due to being a tad young however it was still quite enjoyable.

PL's aplenty lately...

PLPC LEP DIC 16. A box full of lighter wrappers, mild and subtle flavors, fragrant, caramel, sort of unlike any of the other PL's in my stash (a boatload). Enjoyable.

PLP, can't remember if this is from one of my 2018 or 2019 boxes... complete inventory mismanagement.

PLMC TOS FEB 17. Tight draw, muted flavors until it loosened up.

The labels are from a company named Kenco Label. I have been purchasing them from Amazon however I see that they are no longer available there. 

There was information on the inside cover of they box they came in and I was able to find the following link with a little little bit of Google Fu.  Blank Cigar Bands (kencolabel.com)
