Popular Post Bijan Posted September 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2021 Hoyo du Dauphin. RyJ Churchill. First third was a bit off. Then noticed a stem. Used @Nevrknow's hemostat hack and pulled out a really long stem. 29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is from a 19 box. I would describe it more as bitter molasses (blackstrap molasses), rather than pancake and syrup. There's a bitterness/earthyness to it. I'm about halfway through a 17 box. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad batch, or need more time? Could be a bad batch or could need more time. Minutos are generally not too complex, but usually pretty approachable. Might need a few more years before they peak in sweetness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post patrickamory Posted September 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2021 D4 outside under the awning during the rainstorm here... lovely. It's been a minute, and this is dark coffee beans and blackstrap molasses, burning beautifully, with a lovely nutty toasty aroma. Sorry I can't seem to get beyond the clichés today! 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chibearsv Posted September 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2021 Lusi UEB JUN 18. Started pretty harsh burnt tobacco and pepper. Half way now and less harsh but no sweetness at all. Hopefully more time down will help. Long nap for these 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RDB Posted September 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2021 QdO Corona Claro from MSU OCT 18. Very consistent box with excellent construction. This was very mild in body for the first two thirds, with milky coffee just sweetened slightly by a plain biscuit edge. Then the last third ramped up to the nub, but no bitterness at all. I’m not gaga for this marca - it’s quite a simple profile with limited depth. But a very good cigar for the morning, or for a light smoke more generally. And good construction does hugely increase the pleasure in a smoke… After dinner short smoke: El Principe LGR JUN 17. This box a little fuller, and more tightly rolled - but still reliably good. Raisiny rich sweetness, gentle spice, a creeping kick in the ass… fine with a sneaky dram of Glendronach 15. 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nino Posted September 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2021 My first NC this year. Fuente Opus X 20 Years. Received it at a cigar event 2 months ago. Perfect construction and draw as to be expected. Very mild and slightly sweet-ish. Good cigar but kind of one-dimensional with no defined changes or progession. For the price - 42€ in Germany - I'd rather have 3 Partagas P2's.... 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post smbauerllc Posted September 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2021 AF Hemingway Classic Happy Fuente Friday! Excellent taste and perfect draw,burn and construction as always. Tied with the Signature as my favorite Hemingway vitola. Full hour of smoking bliss Por Larranaga Montecarlos Pretty tasty, though not as good as others I have had for some reason. Cold draw was extremely tight as usual, but a run through each end with the PerfecDraw and it was excellent when smoking. Burn was perfect, as was construction other than the tight roll mentioned. Overall a pretty good smoke. Have half a box of 2016's that should be excellent, as the 1 I sampled certainly was. Chateau Fuente Cuban Belicoso Sun Grown Extremely tasty and perfect draw,burn and construction as usual One of my favorite Fuentes Excellent, solid hour long smoke 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
