FOH'ers Daily Smoke

SEP 20 du Depute ROTT. A bit of a wind tunnel, but it was over-humidified from the vendor so they balanced out, and it was pretty good. Baking spices, cream and vanilla.

How are the yamasa and escurio corona gordas?

Have a yamasa pyramid I haven't tried yet, and smoked a couple of the little escurio primeros, which I enjoyed but didn't care for the size, and the Corona Gordas aren't cheap .

Really don't know much about either, just bought a couple each of like 6 different Davidoffs/zinos to try out as i have really enjoyed the few I have had in the past

Davidoff represents a big part of my humidor and my favourite three are the Yamasa, Escurio and Nicaragua lines. The Yamasa is absolutely banging and a very flavourful smoke - because of the land they farm the tobacco on (old swamp land) it's an incredibly firey and rich smoke. My favourite vitola is the Toro which I think brings out the best in the blend although the Piramdes is a close second. I personally find these stronger and richer than my favourite CC, the BBF.

Escurio has the Mato Fino tobacco from Brazil and is a very different type of taste. It's a love/hate thing but I personally love it although not had the Primeros. I find the Toro to again be the best size followed by the Gran Perfecto (make sure you cut this a bit further down otherwise it will explode). The Corona Gorda is also fantastic and my favourite overall vitola of cigar although I don’t think it shows the blend as well as the Toro or Gran Perfecto or maybe just my palate. 

If you are into stronger cigars, definitely try the Nicaragua Box Pressed Toro (it has a few extra ligero leafs in it than the non-box pressed Nicaragua). This was beyond amazing for me.

Enjoy and let me know how you get on

2014 HU2, great cigar. Figured I’d put the focus on the USA muscle in respect of the season!

Yeah. it's a good thread, I post there sometimes. I think it's more for old-timers who still have old boxes kicking around though.

Happy birthday Kaptain

Hong Kong is getting too hot to smoke recently. Daily smoke turns into weekly smoke. These two elegant sticks, one is from 2000, one is from 2019, both enjoyable.

Great info. Nearly all of my small NC humidor is Davidoff and AF anejo. Yamasa is by far the richest for me too and the standout; so complex on all areas of the tongue. I go for the pyramid. Escurio blend has a bit of clash on my palate with such bold deep tobacco notes and then the bright citrus/pith bitter doesn’t mesh for me - still not a bad cigar. Working my way through Nicaragua Toros and this is one of the few of all cigar blends I have tried that truly affects me due to strength.

@Jonboy4074 it was 89/100. It’s only been resting about 20 days from arrival. I knew I didn’t let it rest long enough but the kids were sleeping and I’ve been dying to have one. I’m sure with 60 days down they will blossom.

My first of the marca, which undoubtedly is different than other marca I've tried. It draws easy after a punch cut, burns very evenly and has a flavour I cannot quite place. I am inclined to say I wish it was sweeter, but overall it is not bad at all. Fortunately I have another one from the same box so let's see if I can make up my mind after that.
