Sir Winston

“Battle of the Premium Brands” kind of night. 
 

First one was a Davidoff Winston Churchill Petite Corona. Excellent construction, but for the price give me a Siglo II. Flavor was a little spice, a little wood/cedar, and slight almond; nothing really special to afford the premium attached to it. I have a Late Hour churchill that I’m saving for my anniversary, so maybe my opinion about the Churchill line is premature. 
 

Second was a Cohiba Siglo I tubo (24:24 from last year so no box code or year). Just excellent; pre-light to finish. Hay, roasted nuts, and some slight cinnamon on the finish. Just absolutely beautiful. Cuba is the best at the small format cigar and there is not a close second.

Had subjectively better options but Party Shorts won the lottery. Caught dinner and a buzz on a honeymoon do-over.

One of the nicest maduro wrappers I have seen on a CC. Thanks to a BOTL

Great start to this T110. This Fausto blend always ages very well.

Partagas D4... Good start, marred by a plug that even PerfectDraw couldn't fix. HUHC to the rescue!

Punch short de punch - really enjoyed this.

Really like the HUHC's, among some other half Coronas and petite Robustos, but rarely buy them as they just smoke to quickly and I'm always left wanting more.

I think with HUP2, there’s more flavor variation between stick than with any other cigar I can think of.  Describing what one tastes like is like answering “what color is a rainbow”.  This one is bonkers.  Bonkers good, cigar of the month for me I think.

Nice. Really enjoy all the Upmanns I have ever had.
Never seen that one before though.

I'm guessing because I only by multiple singles or 3,4 and 5 packs, so they must only be available by the box.

Will have to try searching one out as I like the no.2 vitola and would likely enjoy it in an Upmann

Enjoying a 2002 PSD4. 

Nice.
I have a PSD4 from 2008 and 2014 that I was generously gifted that I'm excited to try.

Love the 2019 and 2020 PSD4's I have been smoking a lot of and am very curious how an aged on differs

SLR Churchill

Love the Regios, but have never seen an SLR churchill before. Must only be sold in boxes, and not very commonly.

I'm thinking I would really enjoy them.
Will have to try and seek out singles to give one a try, even if I have to go with a private sale to get them.

Back around that year when I enjoyed a fair number of the opus x, I definitely enjoyed them much more with some age on them.

Seemed to smooth them out and take away some of the palate overpowering strength of the fresh ones.

Have my first ever Power Ranger in my aged smokes tupperdoor to age for 5 to 10 years or so.

Recently tried a fairly fresh Perfexcion x and really just didn't enjoy it at all.
Ended up gifting the other 4 and the 4 Anejos I had.

I have only had relatively fresh ones, and do enjoy them, but find them a little overwhelming to my palate. Have a 2008 and 2014 I was generously gifted that I'm looking forward to trying to see if they mellow out some

Almost bought a couple of the belicosos to try with my last order, but ended up passing partly because I have only had the non plus and don't really care for them.

Do have a Belgian ER Sancho Panza that gets rave reviews everywhere so I am looking forward to it.

How does the belicosos compare to the non plus taste-wise?

Just got my first Coloniales a few months ago and immediately fell in love with them.

I typically only have 2 or 3 of anything in my stash, but this was an exception.
Ended up buying another 5 to go with the couple I had left

I have never had a NP so I couldn’t compare. This Beli was very good, but needs more time to really shine.

BHK 56 watching the races yesterday.  This is a troublesome cigar for me, it does everything well.  I can't fault it for anything but the price.  I just don't think it's worth 3X an Espy or CPE or VI but I certainly enjoyed every bit of it.

Good to know that they need more than just a couple years of age to shine.

May pick up a couple next month and put them in my aged tupperdoor to age

Nice.
How was it?
Just got my first one as a very generous bonus gift from a private sale on another forum.
Its a 2015, so very close in age to yours

Cohiba Siglo II
Has quickly become my favorite of the few Cohibas I smoke.
Excellent taste and burn, draw and construction every time
Also one of the more affordable Cohibas

Aah yes, good memories! From the 2019 Sampler Details below...

El Rey Del Mundo Taino Regional Release Formosa .

BRO JUN 19

They taste like young Tainos use to taste and that is a good thing.  Light honey and cake in a medium bodied profile.

No ifs or buts. These are going to become special.  One of my cigars of the year.
