How do you find the P2? Wondering where you rank it in their lineup …..it’s all the rave on the forum these days

Always a treat with a little age and blended well.

My preference when on is the 898 for regular production

Early Thursday afternoon here and decided to light up something a bit special.  LGC Orgullosos - MSU SEP 18.  

It is....glorious😁.  Was absolutely fascinated to read half-wheel's take on the cigar:

https://halfwheel.com/la-gloria-cubana-orgullosos-er-suiza-2018/299464/

It really couldn't be further from what I'm experiencing.  Scored it a 66 which I'd guess is one of the lower scoring cigars they've reviewed - for me, it's easily in the all time top 10.  It was done in 2019 and could be that age made the difference or just box-to-box QC.

No construction issues here, the draw was firm (not plugged) and opened up a bit after lighting.  Did dry box the stick for 3 days or so.  HW also described the cigar as medium-full, to me it ended up a solid medium but 1/2 of the stick was under medium.  Lovely, balanced, well integrated complexity of wood, sweet stone fruits, citrus tang, fleeting floral notes, and a bready/oatmeal foundation.  This cigar has a beautiful, long finish or wood, leather, and very mild coffee.  The body and profile build slowly as the cigar is smoked, it keeps me coming back for more and I need to be mindful of speed.  Looks like this stick will total out at just over 2 hours of fun.

What a way to start some vacation time!

I needed a booster before my third booster shot tomorrow. Plantation always delivers. Sir Winston is a very nice cigar.

Enjoying this VR Famoso (ARS Jun 2018).  

I recall being a bit underwhelmed when these were young but a few years seem to make a big difference (to me, at least).  (Years on the cigar that is   though who knows?)  Got these for just over US$5 each at Conde Villanueva.  Miss that place.

ps:  A bit of bitterness took hold at the end of the Famoso (more age needed?)  ...So, what the heck?  Added a Siglo I (MEL Dic 2016; from our hosts), which brings subtle but very pleasant strength to finish the sunset.

Punch Punch SOP NOV 2019 is hitting the spot. Pairing nicely with a cocktail that I am trying for the first time, The Godfather. 2 parts blended scotch whiskey, 1 part Disaronno. 🥃 Have a great weekend FOH!

Since we seem to be on a Punch Punch run, I’ll add a RAE MAR 15 from a cabinet of 50. Very good again.
