FOH'ers Daily Smoke

[Jerryvonkramer]

Test driving a new V-Cutter and lighter on an Upmann Connoisseur B. The A is one of my all-time faves, the 1 is one of my workhorse Robustos. High hopes!

About a 90-minute smoke and I was smoking a little quickly. Vanilla sponge, hint of sweetness then more of a savoury bread profile from 2nd third. Lashings of Cuban twang on retrohale and a touch of salt. Superb construction and didn’t have to touch up even once. Felt less complex than the A.

Bolivar Belicoso Fino. All-time classic Cuban beloved by aficionados and affectionately known as the BBF. Bellows of smoke. Starts spice and deep sweet cocoa over earth and Cuban twang, as it develops an amazing stout bitter or even Guinness cuts across it. Amazing cigar 10/10.

I had two Monty no 2 two days in a row, one was oily light wrapper and the other was dark almost sand paper wrapper. Both from ‘21 boxes. The light wrapper was less intense in flavor but good. 2 years ago I hated the dark wrapper but now it’s coming to life, concentrated flavors of milk chocolate and cocoa. Hope the rest are this good.

Today's smoke was Juan Lopez and it was very good (similar to to the flavor profile of JL#2) can’t wait to see how it progress in the next 5 years. 

Happy Friday everyone.

Yup, excellent blend. Granted, I hadn’t been too fond of the format when they first came out - meanwhile... I’m a fan! And they appear to be consistent to boot. While pricey, they deliver time and time again. 👍

Good evening everyone...

Exquisite HU Regalias before lunch...

A good weekend to you all 👍

I bought a few Romeo Petit Churchills Tubos and 2 of the 3 I've smoked have been cocoa and fruit 🍒. I will probably buy a few more of these and the Royales. Both have offered something a bit different but equally enjoyable to me. 

This one is a special one.

A great mother’s day weekend to all FOH. I was at the end of 2nd third of this La Fuerza and set it down since it got a bit hot and unruly. Went in to prepare dinner. came out later and fired it up again...what a transformation, it was sublime. I didn’t expect that. Another note to self. Also, this 50/50 Malbec and Cab is excellent juice. @Ken Gargett might even approve! Cheers Mates!

I have two boxes, purchased at Conde in 2018. Time to crack a box?
