Been in the humi @ 65 RH for 6 months, quite nice compared to when i first aquired them. Can do with more time in humi but very nice indeed.

thechenman Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Montecristo Edmundo from a tube. It was utter meh. No standout flavors and a horrible burn. Disappointing as I have been a fan of this vitola. Oh well...onto the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigGuns Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 '07 HDM DC on the golf course yesterday. Excellent as always... '08 HDM Petit Robusto this afternoon. Started off nice but the last third left something to be desired. Enjoy your smokes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartagasIV Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Tonight have had an 07 Punch Super Robusto RE...can see this developing nicely, might have to pick up a box while still around. The shocker of the evening though is a Jun09 Trini Robusto T...loads of cream and nutty flavor and honestly as deserving of praise as the mid '08 Upmann Connies.

bassman Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 AGO 08 Party Salamone. Junk! First inch very bitter, then became practically devoid of flavor. Gave up about 1/2 through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thechenman Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Cuaba Divino...utter yuck...can't believe it was a Cuban cigar... Oliva Serie V Especial - I can honestly say that I don't really care for the cigars that are overly heavy on ligero. All strength and no subtlety to the flavors. Supposedly this cigar was limited to a production of 55K cigars. I think they stopped there after realizing how bad it really was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thechenman Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Tonight on the back patio I smoked a Cohiba Siglo II Tubo. Amazing cigar. Sweet grass with some nuttiness in the frst third. In the second third I actually got a hint of mint. Never experienced that before in a cigar, and I have to say I quite liked it. The final third got a bit stronger, but not much. It finished with a semi-sweet tobacco flavor. Loved it. It won't overtake my PLPCs as top petit corona, but it ranks up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thechenman Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Last night was brrrr cold. Still I decided to venture out for a smoke. Picked a Montecristo No. 4 as I hadn't smoked one in months. It was a delicious cigar. Started light, but evolved into a medium bodied smoke. Burn was pretty good. Usual almost black ash. The flavors were incredible sweet tobacco, a slight Monte twang and oh so creamy. It reminded me of why these are the best selling Cuban cigars in the world. Oftentimes you get a bad batch of these, but this No. 4 was spot on perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassman Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 A rather unimpressive Bolivar DC, followed by a wonderful 01 RyJ EX#4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tampa1257 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Just finished a Diplomaticos No. 4 For the life of me, I do not understand why there are not more variety within this marca. Some people call this a watered down version of a Montecristo, I say BS The sweet paprika flavor, and tobacco make this a truly wonderful cigar, one that I could reach for on a daily basis no matter what size you choose.

thechenman Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Tonight a Montecristo Especiales No. 2. Had to pick this baby out of my humidor after reading the review on FOH the other day. This cigar did not disappoint. Lovely, sweet and creamy until the very end where a bit of spice kciked in. Don't know why I don't have more of these.

samb Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 An uber-delicious Monte 4 with a couple cups of fresh Colombian coffee in my Mom's garage after she made us an exquisite early Thanksgiving dinner. The Monte was really a surprise, I guess it has rested from its trip for long enough and they're ready to be smoked. Creamy smoke picked up some coffee notes with just a wee bit of leather.
