FOH'ers Daily Smoke

[Cigarsmoker81]

Cola, topes and propios 

 

propios was disappointing I’ll revisit in few months

It's a very rainy day here.  I'm smoking a D4 in the garage.

And a Media Luna

It never ceases to amaze me how much enjoyment I get from these little fellas.

Tried my first CoRo today, was a little disappointed as it was a bit light on flavor. Still a nice cigar on a perfect afternoon. Hard to complain!

I have a few more, hopefully those will be more flavorful!

Starting the day off properly with a Siglo III

Smoked my first NC ever today. Illusione Epernay Le Ferme. Was afraid even despite its lack of ligero it would still knock my socks off. Did the opposite. Zero power. And to me zero flavour. Maybe some sweet smoke… that’s about it. I threw it out after the half way mark when some citrus kicked in. Not for me I regret to say. Wanted to like it — and the cigar itself smelled promising out of the humidor.

Oh well! Luckily had a $1 Cohiba Club in my pocket to save the day!

Nice cigar and sweet ride.....something is throwing me off from the picture though. is that an aftermarket wheel tire setup? The tire  looks really narrow for some reason. could be a filter or just my old man eyes. Just curious.

Ah man, that's a bummer. I have smoked a lot of those and while I have had some really excellent experiences with that smoke ( I also like that vitola) there have been some real milk toast paper tasters. I'm sure youre partial to Cubans, but I might respectfully recommend a joya de nic Numero uno as something that's similar to what that epernay should have been. Or.... Maybe try another epernay, or a haut 10. As a recent convert to CCs I admit they seem to the best. But there's some non cc stuff that's certainly worth smoking.

Very much appreciate the recommendations. I'm truly hoping to find a good NC once in a while. I have one more of the Epernay and also a couple Singulare from them. I"ll look into the Joya Numero Uno and the Haut 10 as well. So many NC's out there and I'm sure there a at least a few I'll really enjoy. Will update here again when I smoke another! Hopefully will be better.

Thanks.  And no, that is the standard OEM AMG 20 inch wheel.  

The picture was taken at .5, so there is some distortion at the top and the bottom.  My feet are distorted in that pic. Does it look the same to you in the second picture?  That was taken at 1, so there should be no distortion.

Would love to hear your impression of the RG CE. I have had 1 from a 2001 box and found it outstanding.

I'm a huge fan.  Thoroughly enjoyable cigar. 

If I'm not mistaken, the consensus seems to be that these are very light bodied cigars.  That has not been my experience, at least not with this vintage.

Just tried the other Illusione I had. Singulare Kadosh. Pitched it too. Just one dimensional. Peppery air. Really strange how they’re rated so highly. I hope i just got duds. Lit up a Monte MC to salvage the night. Much better.

I’ll give your recommendations a go though.
