groza Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 RyJ #3 Tubo. Superb construction and wrapper quality, nice straight tobacco and cedar.
thechenman Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 A fairly nice cigar weekend for me... Quintero Panatela - Nice looking cigar. Well constructed. Quite tasty for the first half, then got real hot. Likely my own fault. Jose L. Piedra Nacionales - Ugly cigar...quite mild. Makes for a good yard gar though. Enjoyed it in that context as I weeded the flower beds and cleaned the grill. Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial - Foot was a bit split from transport, but did not affect the burn at all. Outside of that is was a beautiful cigar in appearance. A bit too hard. Draw was not plugged, but quite tight. Still, smoked it about 3/4s of the way down. Fantastic armoa came from the smoke. Mild cigar, but the flavors were complex. I was very impressed.
gersonmorelli Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Enjoyed a very good Partagas SP2 Saturday night. My favorite piramide hands down. This particular cigar was somewhat underfilled and had an easy draw. Very enjoyable nonetheless.
groza Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 RyJ #2 Tubo. The wrapper was dark and oily but I couldn't pick up any strong flavours because the cigar was plugged and produced very little smoke. I solved this problem by pulling out two solid pieces of midrib. The draw improved considerately and the last third was very spicy in a pleasant way.
gk404 Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Enjoying a Boli PC while sitting on the deck on a hot day doing some work and listening to Brazil vs Chile. Cigar was a little over humidified and thus burn was uneven but I love the caramel taste of these.
android Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 After being away from home for nearly 3 wks. Monday was a great smoking day for me: Edmundo Dante 109 quite nice Bolivar Simones Amazing and I'm still wishing I would have bought more! Damn!!!!!
groza Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Partagas Coronas Senior. Dark honey sweetness and then lots of spice ... good value for the money. Also, the old tubo design looks a lot more classy.
lemmycaution Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Another clean and smooth 08 HQ Regios. Bassman, my experience with these are limited, but they are also the best Regios I have had.
Stalebread Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Yesterday: Juan Lopez #2 from 2002 cab not sure exactly. Very fine smoke.
bassman Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 MAR 09 D4. My usual experience- a good but not great cigar. Guess these just aren't favrites of mine.
Cubanface Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Smoked an 08 Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill yesterday. Tasted like sweet cedar with cherry undertones and a bit of leather. Today I had a Por Larranaga Montecarlos from 08 that was toasty with buttered bread and coffee cream qualities. A great morning smoke.
samb Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Great Parti SdC 3 on this 4th of July morning with coffee.
lemmycaution Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 08 Lusi...outstanding. Will only get better... I also smoked one today, box code TEB 08. They really are outstanding-I can only hope to have the willpower to age some.
mbrody Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 Morning was a Boli CJ 4th of July Party, JL2 and a Mojito...awesome!
LeafLover Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 SCdlH Principe am. Perdomo Lot 23 in pm. I know what you're thinking - WTF? Yah, took it from my brother's humidor that's been there for a couple years. Dumped it after a few puffs. Was more curious than anything.
dcse Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 With my wife and kids camping this weekend, I invited some friends for a beer, whisky and cigar sampling session. We emptied an enormous amount of bottles of beer from a Norwegian countryside microbrewery (www.igb.no), a bottle of 20yo Aultmore Speyside whisky and sampled the following cigars: Bolivar Colosales (RE GE), Bolivar Regentes, Por Larranage Lonsdales (RE GE), H. Upmann Robustos and Partagas Salamones. The Bolivar Regentes impressed me most, and stands out as the best cigar I have sampled in 2010.
