I think this one is aged a bit too long. But enjoyable none the less.

Yeah, that's why I'm not really an aged Cigar guy.

Some are great, some are bland and flavorless, you just never really know how long to let them age.

Of about the 30 aged and Vintage Cigars I have had, half that would have been great smokes young, had become bland, flavorless and musty.

Real shame.

I have decided not to do any intentional aging, and wont be seeking out, and especially paying a premium for, aged Cigars.

Too hit ir miss how they will be, and even the ones that weren't bland and flavorless weren't "better" than recent production ones, just different

The siglo's are some of my favorite Cohibas, especially being amongst the cheapest Cohibas there are.

I like the Siglo II'S for the "cheap" price, but not too small like the Siglo I's.

Nice PC size that I can stretch to an hour if I pace myself.

Was generously gifted a Siglo V I'm anxious to try. Curious how much the significantly larger size effects the taste.

Many dont seem to care for the various sized Edmundos.

I really enjoy the Edmundo and Double Edmundo quite a bit, but then again I enjoy the not very popular Open line quite a bit, so I'm a weirdo apparently,lol

Being on the milder side to begin with, how did the age affect it?

Woke up early this morning in Pittsburg and smoked an Esmeralda.

There is a big pickle festival going on here, that everyone seems really excited about.  

...must be a mid-west thing?🤷‍♂️

Partagas Aristocrats

Very tasty, powerful smoke in a little PC package.

Perfect draw,burn and construction as well

HDM Epicure No.2

My favorite of the Epicure line

To me, they smoke above their price

Looks good! Month/year?

Nice few hours at LCDH Kaiserslautern smoking a RA Superiores and watching many USAF C-17 Reach aircraft on final approach to Ramstein AFB.

Evac flights from Kabul and Doha that have started bringing Afghan evacuees to Ramstein as of today.

Hooked up with 2 active US military guys at the Casa and we shared 4,5 hrs of cigars, good talks and  memories of far away places and better (old) times.

Great picture - as usual !!

Back when I first started smoking cigars I was fortunate enough to stumble upon some original release Fuente 2006 Don Carlos Anniversario. These smoke nothing like NC to me. Bread, yeasty sweetness, a tropical rum spice note, zero pepper. Glad I decided to pluck this one at the 15yr mark.
Our farmer processed hogs this summer and did some chorizo bratwurst this time. Smoked a few over cherry. Nothing like the pleasurable excess of eating fatty meat while having a cigar…

That looks extremely tasty !

Never heard of Chorizo Bratwurst, sounds like a perfect mix of Spain & Germany ( like me 🙂 ) - What is it exactly if I may ask ?

Enjoy !!

Short de punch with whiskey sour

First ever Sir Winston.   Paired with Gin & Tonic (Monkey 47) and a splash of St. Germain.   Excellent flavors but required Perfecdraw as it was snug.   Might try dry boxing next time.   90-92 points.

I've only had one, 2016 Sir Winston I was generously gifted because they are out of my reach unless I do a box split, but really enjoyed it and can see why they are so popular and can be difficult to find in stock.

Hoyo Epi2 for a walk in the woods. Nice combo!

[Puros Y Vino]

These are really starting to grow on me.

After a 15 hour work day, my first ever BAS DIC 2015 R&J Churchill.  Can't understand the dislike of R&J from some folks. Beautiful razor sharp burn, hints of cherry, stonefruit,  pencil shavings, ( wierd huh?) and just over all smooth cigar. Sourced from the host. Thanks FoH.

[havanaclub]

Nice start to my vacation
