Mag 50 , light silky smooth wrapper . A nice couple of hours

Had my first mag 54 yesterday, and haven't had a mag 50 in 10 years for some odd reason.

Curious to see how they compare

D4 EBM AGO 17  (This was from the half box up on 24:24 Beginning of yr or late last yr.  would have gotten whole box but it was limited to 1/2). Outstanding

My spring project is to lose the 20 Lbs I put on over the winter. Nearly there. Hit the treadmill for 30. Now lunch. An Epi 1 I won in a prize pack from our host many months ago that was bouncing around the singles tray in the Coolidor. 
 

so far a very smooth and flavorful first third. I’m remembering why I hit the box I have so hard last year and had to hide the last half.  Might be time for another box in a bit to get the aging going.

I just stocked up! It’s my favorite Corona Gorda right now. Love the mag 46 but the epicure 1 is more approachable with its lower strength and I think it’s more complex as well.

Celebrating the arrival of spring with a lunchtime Med Sig from ‘17. God they nailed this blend. Age seems to add a little sweetness, dark honey, to the mix. Awesome, need more stock...

H.Upmann Connoisseur No.1
Extremely tight draw for the first third even after using my Modus II.
Did finally open up a bit for the remainder thankfully.
Very tasty and good burn as usual.
An enjoyable smoke when the draw is good

Don’t forget the JL1. My favorite size. Well supplied except the epi1. Waiting on a good sale.

Karl, any recommendations on size for Epernay. Keep hearing good things about these.

Hey Rich, I bought a box of the Series 2009 in the L'Alphiniste (torpedo) vitola.  I think Epernay's smoke best in a longer format.

Todays action - thanks for the Upmann #2 recc y'all

Sorry can I clarify what's the difference between V and UV? (other than the obvious length difference)

@Bijan answered perfectly, and yes the blend is subtly different in a lighter, complex way

So many good Corona gordas going which is great it’s my favorite vitola (probably most people’s).  I think the Punch Punch is still underrated. I’m on a box from 19 that’s just hitting its stride right now and has become phenomenal.   Just picked up 2 more boxes of those.  The Epi 1, and Mag 46 both have been great.  Jl1 has been good too, although it’s the one CG I think that is being outperformed by its sibling robusto.  Not 100% on that, I’m about to crack into a new box of 1s so that may change.  I still think the Sig IVs are terrific, people just want them to be mini Sig VIs and they are not, a different blend but for what they are it’s a great smoke.  I keep waiting for @Elpresidente to do a CG video series, be very interesting who came out on top as it could be anyone’s game right now.

Reyes. So good

Superiores may take the cake for me ...I agree on the IV...much stronger blend then VI ...throws ppl off because they think III or VI

Those are great too!  Didn’t think about them as I was thinking about regular production, forgot LCDH releases.  Little pricier than the others save the Sig IV.

That's 100% me! I wasnt giving HdM the time of day for awhile until I heard how good the '19 epi 1's are smoking...and that they are!

I agree with you on the JL1. My first box of Punch Punch was a disaster...I have another that's much better but it's gonna rest for another year or so while I attack the PSdP's I have. I have had a few aged examples that were amazing.

I forgot about RAS and IV! I havnt had a IV and the aged RAS I had were disappointing, I havnt had one from recent production. If a good deal comes around I'll definitely snag a box.

I’m always astounded on days when the same cigar shows up on multiple posts for the daily. Last night was PLMC night apparently and I had one too. It doesn’t happen all the time but I think it’s pretty interesting when it does. 

[GVan]

Today a JL1 in the afternoon (UTL MAY-19) only 2 more to this box.  Will be a sad day until I open another box ....
