He has a whole box already, so, yeah.

Aging Room Quattro F55 Expressivo

Pretty tasty, a bit on the stronger side, especially in the final half.

Perfect draw, burn and construction

Just too strong for me

LFD 1994 Conga

Excellent, unique taste.

Perfect draw, burn and construction

Excellent smoke volume

Definitely a winner and bookmarked to buy when back in stock

Laranja Reserva Caixa

Very tasty and in the mild-medium range throughout.

Excellent burn,draw and construction

Definitely a straightforward, simple smoke that won't blow you away, but a solid, tasty cigar nonetheless

The first 3 are yesterday's smokes, I just forgot to post at the end of the day.  The last one is tonight's.

Maybe 20 years ago, I was drinking coffee in the lobby of a really high end hotel in NYC, and I fell in love with the coffee.  I asked the waiter what kind it was, and he told me it was Jamaican Blue Mountain.  So I started buying Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, but it never tasted the same as the coffee in that hotel, even on the island of Jamaica.  

Fast forward to the present, and I decided I was going to try my luck again, only this time, I did some research.  Turns out a lot of these "Jamaican  Blue Mountain coffees" are blends, that can contain as little as 10% JBM in them.  Plus, there are people just selling fakes, just as with cigars.  I'm sure many of the coffee aficionados on this board could have told me this already.  Anyway, I picked an importer that is legit, and paid $110 with the discount code for only 16 oz, and it arrived today.  I am happy to say that I found the taste I have been searching for over all these years.

Oh, and the CoRo is pretty good too.

I guess $110 a pound for coffee that wows you isn’t so bad when we’re paying $1000+ a box for VI 😁

Party Mad No.1 - TPO MAY '18
Two absolute bangin' cigars tonight with the Connie No.2 taking the cake.  Perfect construction, notes of vanilla and a razor sharp burn the whole way down.  They get lots of hate but pick up a 6er and give them a shot.

Love the Partagas Maduros but haven't been able to find them in stock anywhere for quite a long time. I'm definitely jealous that you got to smoke one,lol

how are these coming along? finding any comps in other upmanns? Love the 54 rg but not a huge upmann fan...i do an occasional pc, no 2, and winny......... TIA!!

Not to hijack since you are asking someone else, but personally all of the Magnums taste pretty much the same too me. There are small differences between the 3, but basically the same profile with them all.
I prefer the Mag 50 simply due to size, personally, but have a couple 54's and 46's on hand currently to for a little variety.

They definitely have their own unique profile compared to the other Upmanns, imho

Well now we need the spinoff review of JBM, and some assurance that these sacred beans didnt get dripped through a Mr Coffee 12 cup …

Kicking my weekend off with the Guardian of the Farm Lonsdale! Have enjoyed these since their release and always have some on hand resting to smoke. (As well as a box that's aging longer term!)

[Puros Y Vino]

A lovely night for a PL Encantos.

And yet another superb 2019 Vigia. Admittedly I am a Francisco Donatien groupie though, all their boxes of Trini seem to excel. A couple boxes of MAR (which I hadn’t chased previously) incoming to see if they dethrone, but they are 21 so kinda apples/oranges

I love the Mag 54s. They have been consistent & reliable smoke for me. Have smoke a lot of this. 

Starts mild/medium & ends with med. Construction has never let me down overall (3 plug/wind tunnel out of 80 plus sticks). Preferred with 3 years age. Younger ones seems to have a bit of mongrel nearing the last third. Flavors are very good. 

Hope this helps. You have a great weekend too.

Monty EL Day

LAT SEP 12 520. About a week ago I commented that the Cohiba 1966 was my favorite EL, this may well be the next one in that list. 
 

TUE OCT 20 Supremos. Good but the 520 was the clear winner.

Going to try out this Esmeralda ARS OCT 2019 gifted from a BOTL with some Buffalo Trace. Haven't been able to find any Trace until I got to Gatlinburg T.N.

Vegas Robaina Famoso - just got this 2021 box and smoked one ROTT. Lightest wrapper I’ve seen this year. Surprisingly complex blend of raisins, toasted tobacco, dates, and spice that twist round and round during a long pleasantly mild to medium smoke. Very happy with it. Do they age well?? I hope so!

[patrickamory]

Cedros No. 2. Smoked this baby down to the nub!

Really? I’m in Canada and this is my regular bourbon here! Very good.

Ya, it’s cheaper here - maybe close to $40… and that’s Canadian prices which are ridiculous 

[mtd057]

Fantastic way to end my Friday - I hope everyone enjoys the weekend

I haven't seen any in years in liquor stores around the house.  Wife carried me to Gatlinburg tn. for my birthday(tourist destination.) I was thinking about some Redbreast 21 until I  saw $500 on it. 50 bucks for for a bottle of decent swill wasn't too bad. Lol
