A Hamlet custom 1966 I picked up from him in 2014. There is nothing like a Hamlet custom 👍

A very good recent example of a BBF.

17 Warped Corto - one of my favorite Nica cigars, and one of my first box purchases one I decided to get more serious about cigars. These age supremely well (at least to date) and they burn incredibly slow with excellent, rich smoke output.

Pepper start, then cream, roasted nuts, cocoa and floral accents. To any Nicaraguan fans out there, I highly suggest grabbing a 5er and seeing what you think!

Earth. Wind. Fire. MNF. Hoyo DC. ROE DIC 16
Settling in.

@Rhinoww

What do you think of the Hoyo DC's?

I have read of multiple people calling them the best, quintessential Hoyo, so curious on your thoughts ss I have one I haven't smoked yet (granted yours had a little age, and the age of mine is unknown)

The price isn't bad for a large vitola (if I could find them in stock anywhere), and especially if they are as good as I'm hearing.

Also, got a link to your review you mentioned?

Looked in the Habanos review and the competitions sections and didn't see it and would love to read it.

Very enjoyable from start to finish (2.5 hours). Cream and increasing dark tea flavors emerged over time. Smoke was thick but cigar was not overpowering at all. I hit the point of complete cigar satisfaction with about 3/4 of an inch of the stick left, a perfect smoke for me. A classic Hoyo flavor profile without the slightest bite  

Histoically I have been a PC Kinda guy stretching to robustos periodically.  I am increasingly moving to dabble with DC and Churchill’s.  There is a season for everything.  Not so sure how many of these DC I’ll be smoking this winter though

Nice. Thanks for the mini review.

Will definitely have to try mine soon.

Glad to hear that its smooth and bite free, and not too strong as I no longer care for anything over a medium anymore.

I understand about winter.

Already have some PC's, and have my November order already planned with nothing but quicker smokes.

Winters here are fairly mild most of the time, and being from Michigan, I know how to dress for the cold, so will still be able to enjoy the occasional longer smoke, but February is our coldest month and can get to 0 or below, so want some shorter smokes for then for sure.

Plus I occasionally crave a smoke after meds, but before having to go to bed due to one of the medications effects, so needed some under 30 minute smokes for then too.

Planning a box of partagas shorts and a handful of different singles and tins as well

i would give the escogidos a go as well ....to my taste, they are a bit more approachable young and may be even more mild than the dc ...great creamy flavor tho....also like the mention of the tea notes as i feel that hoyo exhibits these sometimes..especially the san juan has wonderful tea like notes 

Thanks for the tip. I'll add a box of Escogidos to my bookmarks for future purchases, as I have read enough of your posts to trust your judgment and opinions on cigars.

Definitely enjoy the San Juans.
Very nice smokes.
Think I'm down to only 1 though. Will have to rectify that.

Thanks for your input.

'12 AF Hemingway Classic Sungrown

Very tasty, smooth, mellow and plenty flavorful after 9 years.

Had just a hint of that aged cigar undetone I've never been able to describe

One of only a few cigars in this age range I have really enjoyed. Definitely properly stored and aged.

AF Don Carlos 80th Anniversario Personal Reserve Robusto

Excellent taste and perfect draw,burn and construction

Not the cheapest, but worth it for me as they are excellent all around smokes

Tatuaje 2012 Cojonu Habano

Extremely tasty with a bit of spiciness throughout. A solid medium-full.

Perfect draw, burn and construction

All around excellent smoke

Trinidad Topes 2016 LE

How does the original release LE topes compare to the newer regular production topes? TIA!

To me, thicker, heavier & richer profile, but LEs are usually that way. Both are very good IMO.

Thanks Brochambeau, got a title to defend as we won by .1 last year 😳.  Negative Nancy is much better than Beth Amphetamine so you got that going for you, which is nice 😋 ... Also, love it when you tell me I have a "beautiful ash." 😊  But seriously, if you need me to meet someone by the oak tree after work today, hit this Chad up.

HU Sir Winnie - GRM MAR '21 - 90 day rest test

Squeaked out a .44 point win (thanks Ty'Son Williams/Justin Tucker) in FF this week and the cigar wasn't too shabby either!  Definitely needs more rest and will revisit around Xmas 🎄 or so...

Glad you Guinea-pigged the Winnie. Exact same box I was thinking of cracking open but I think I'll just let it rest.

Most of the time you offer a refreshing take, and say what everyone else is thinking but won't say aloud.

Other times I just want to smoke a torpedo without hearing about how I took too much off the end 😂🤣😂
