FOH'ers Daily Smoke

[Edicion]

Cracked open a box of Royal Robustos 2020 obtained from our gracious host. Forgot how good they are. Paired with some Argentinian Cabernet Franc. After a few glasses of the 14.9% I didn't even care that the draw was "snug".

Seems like these would have draw/construction issues to me. Any problems?

How was it? I'm on the hunt for some of these.

Excellent, only had one in the singles draw but had me wondering why I often look past Cuaba. I've had younger examples but definitely better with a few years on them.

The distinguidos are scarce

 I can’t speak for @Cigarsmoker81, but any I’ve had or others have had while I was with them have never had a construction issue. In addition to that, they are very enjoyable cigars.

Half corona from one of the last 24:24s of 2021.  When I bought these I told myself I was going to give them a proper rest. I'm impressed that I even made it a full 2 weeks without digging in. I'm glad I didn't wait any longer. I forget the exact box date but it's late 2021. 

Who says you need to rest or age your stock? This blew that assumption out of the water. Smoked like a dream from first light down to nub. I should've bought another box. 

I can't wait to see how these change with some time, but I'll never make it to that point without another box because these are good enough right now to go into my regular rotation.

Starting the day with a GLE APR 2021 HDME2 that seems to need more rest. Not bad.

Well, it was sort of boring. I’m terrible with tasting notes but all I can say is it was sort of plain. Construction was beautiful, burned perfectly, nice draw. It’s just that nothing stood out. Maybe it’s because it’s cold outside, not sure. Couldn’t think of another cigar I’d compare it to. I’ll try another when I get back inside at our club to see if it’s different. Hoping to try a lancero this week. 

Just tried the Alex 109 and feel pretty similar to your sentiments. Very mediocre experience for me, certainly not worth the cost

Tubos No. 2 from here at the resort in Costa Rica. F-ing fabulous. 

TRU ENE 19 - Last of the box. It’s has been a good one. 

[Greenhorn2]

All these discussions about Cohiba got me thinking.  Yep, I like Cohiba. 

A little Bolivar to finish off the day. With some Eagle rare to go along.
