Those Cuban Classics are excellent, especially with yellow cello like that!

No doubt!! Classic Phil the Thrill keeping us on the edge of our seats for 18 holes HA! He went in the water on 16 (I think thats where he crossed the bulkhead into the water?) and I thought to myself, "here we go again...."

How was this Galanes? I know it's young but would love to hear your first impressions.

@StogieSteve23

Nice stick, been through a 10er now

this box has been nice firm roll, with just the draw resistance I prefer.

Very approachable for me even in its youth ,IMHO

and if they only get better with downtime? I won’t complain

Thank you! Finally someone actually giving some input on these. 

Seems like your experience with the firm roll and right resistance are what I've encountered with almost all the Punch SdP's I've smoked through.  

Any comparison to these and a young PLPC? Or are they totally different flavor/strength profiles?

Cause of RG and youth, to me a little richer, fuller, louder at this time, if that makes any sense, but sometimes thats just what the Dr. ordered.

As we know preferences are subjective.

Seems like it already has the legs and will develop into a great smoke with just a little more rest.  Definitely subjective, but thank you for the feedback.

From the first full box of Cubans I ever bought. LTB SEP 13. Have about 10 left and usually they are my celebration cigars but not today. Bad news all around so dug one out in a search for some comfort. Like wrapping me in a warm blanket of better memories, bittersweet, unlike the cigar which is as always simply wonderful, a Polaroid from happier days..

Really sorry to hear that mate.  It'll make no difference whatsoever, but you've always come across as a top bloke, I for one am wishing you well, and a speedy return to better times. 

Best, Stefan

Sorry to hear that, mate. I echo what @99call said.

Sorry to hear about your bad news.  Keep that chin up, Webbo.  Life has a funny way of working itself out (maybe not immediately).  You always have us on the forum to fall back on!

Smoking a Partagas - Serie E No.2 “UAO MAR 18” (it was out of a box of 5) sitting out on my deck while watching my Harris Hawk this evening. 🦅

it was pretty good for a 3 years aged cigar but I think they still need a few more years to be outstanding.  I went bonkers buying “boxes of 5” of these with the “UAO” box code rolled in 2018 and I am glad I have about 120 left of these.

2018 MSU BPC .. smoking phenomenal now!

2015 Vigia with a Dalmore 12.  Wonderful way to end a Tuesday.  (Not too long for a weekday, but not too short for the flavours to pass too fast.)  

Hope you all are well.

Always amazed at how good the Vigia smokes by only removing the pig tail!

Gonna try that soon

Sorry I know this is supposed to be happy and cheerful but this cigar looks so weird haha

Disclaimer... Give it a try but cut it right after. The nasty tar-like black substance built up after about 10-15 min in. I've only ever had that with punch cutters and now with this one. Could have been construction issues with this specific Vigia as the others I've had from the same box smoked beautifully.

Big believer in the double guillotine, straight cut, for most every cigar in case that’s helpful.  You can do an angle with it, or just cut straight... but there’s always an opportunity to correct if needed.  Just my opinion.
