MSA FEB 2019 lusi, who said double Coronas were mild? 2.5 hour powerhouse of a smoke. Will let these rest for another year before I sample another from the box

QDO 50

extremely tasty, a little on the miler side, perfect draw,burn and construction.

Have only had a few of these out of the fiver I had bought.

They seem nearly impossible to find lately so I have been going through them slowly as who knows when I will be able to buy more at this point.

Doing a little experiment as I have never been able to get an answer from anyone I asked, about how the 50 and 54 compare as far as taste.

Everyone I have asked always said that they had only had one or the other, not both.

So I smoked this 50 as my morning Cigar and will have a 54 this evening to compare the two.

QDO 54

Extremely tasty and good draw and construction. Burn was a little off the whole time but not by a lot really.

Definitely a solid medium, and maybe even a medium-full as it progressed

Overall I definitely really enjoyed it and will definitely be buying some whenever I can find them in stock somewhere.

As to comparing the taste of the 50 and 54, I can't really say it's even a little similar to me, but I think the large difference in strength between the two is a big part of it.

The 50 is very mild and subtle to me, while the 54 really jumped out at me.

I honestly didn't enjoy one more than the other either. If I'm in the mood for something mild, I'd pick the 50, for something a fair bit stronger, the 54.

Which means I'll have to wait and buy both when they can be found.

LFdC Selectos

My first of these

Very tasty, and especially so in the second half where a nice, unique undertone I can't describe developed.

Cold draw was virtually nonexistent. Had a pretty big plug near the middle, but the PerfecDraw took care of it for the most part.

Burn was excellent and other than the plug, so was every other aspect of the construction was fine.

Definitely a very good smoke for the price. Definitely added to my bookmarks to buy again.

Been a little over a year since I visited an N3. The time has done wonders. Smoking beautifully now.

Cohiba Coronas Especiales SOP JUN 20

Enjoyed the day after arriving and slightly underfilled. The result is mostly toasted tobacco and ash. Will try again after 60 days but probably let them rest another year.

 

EDITED TO ADD:

Finishing up now. Just a mediocre cigar, but promising signs. Definitely just a matter of letting them rest a year or two.

Haven't smoked one since early 2020. How was this one for you? Thanks in advance.

Monte Edmundo - excellent. A 2020 box that has rated 4.5/5 reliably this year. Like smoking a chocolate biscuit with hints of nut and spice.

Had another couple over; ended up being a great day/evening with lots to eat, drink and smoke. He brought a couple of EL Siglo VI tubos for us to enjoy after dinner so before dinner I got us each  an AME JUN 13 Punch Serie D’Oro and then after talking about RASS, I grabbed a couple of OGA NOV 11 that we really enjoyed.

 
After dinner we had the UAO OCT 19 VI’s. As expected very good. I was busy enjoying the company and BBQing so I only got a picture of the Siglo VI.

It really depends on the box. My 50s were reliably stronger than my 54s. I’ve seen reports on QdO that are all over the place, but the montesco size is typically a milder format.

It had been a while since I had a 50, but i did think it seemed much milder than I remembered, so you seem to be correct.

Plus mine were bought as singles, so may not be from the same box even.

Kinda sucks they would be all over the place like your saying.

Much nicer to know what to expect when you choose a smoke.

Thanks for your info

Mine are also 2020's and the couple I have had after just a month to rest and acclimate have been excellent. Also definitely weren't under filled as all have needed some work with the Perfecdraw to be smokable.

Bummer you got a bad one. Always sucks getting disappointed after anticipating a good Cigar.

Also for as much as they cost, they should really be perfectly constructed, every time.

No excuse for a roughly $25+ Cigar to have any kind of issues, imho

@Rupe

How was it?

Considering picking some up one of these days as they get pretty favorable comments/reviews from most people.

Just have shied away from getting some being such a short length.

Not much of a fan of anything under 5", but there have been exceptions for sure.

How long was the smoke time for you?

From a 24:24 box of ETP Feb 16. Nice Father’s Day stick and sunset.

I just smoked original release a few days ago! No longer have box but believe it was 09 or 10. Glad I have a few left. So complex and rich on the palate. Dont see another September cigar coming close.

[Spaceman Spiff]

17 PLPC - delectable smoke. Started with a cinnamon toast type of beginning that progressed in to caramel and butter.

[ha_banos]

This was lovely. Just a one off single.

Romeo y Julieta is definitely not my favourite marca. Usually only have the Cazadores and Churchills in my humidor.

And I have been disappointed on more than one occasion with the Edición Limitada releases.

That being said, this particular cigar is very enjoyable to me. So much so, that I wish that I had purchased another box.

A wonderful blend of subtle sweetness and baking spices. Thick rich smoke that provides a wonderful mouthfeel. Solid medium with gradual intensity towards the third and final act. Should continue to age quite nicely.

No construction or combustion issues whatsoever. Simply a very well rolled sobrasaliente.

Hope this helps.

Really good ‘20 Sig III to start off the morning!

Punch Punch TUE JUN 20

Enjoyed with the Solheim Cup. GO USA!

This and the PLMC are my go-tos. So twangy. Hopefully I can try the Punch DC some day!
