FOH'ers Daily Smoke

[LeafLover]

Lit up a Boli PC half an hour before I signed on to FOH. Lo and behold, the topic to vote for the king of PC's.

Last night was the last of a coffin of Parti culebras, with a glass of the Goatfather. This is a cigar that has just a pure explosion of Cuban flavors! Pure bliss til the wife woke up to start bitching....

Are there any versions of these culebras that are hand-made at all, or are they all still just a machine-made bundle?? I can't remember off-hand.

The Parti culebra is now hand made.

I love these too. My friends who normally don't smoke think these are the coolest cigar.

Started today off with a Diplo No.4. I better slow down on these since there are discontinued

[cgarner]

Had a fantastic upmann Mag 50. I absolutely love this cigar. Must pick up a cab.

Perfect, thanks Samb. I couldn't remember the date exactly, with all the back and forth with those between hand- or machine-made.

So, circa 2007 boxes then, with that different packaging.

I will have to look out for those. Thanks for the link.

I was able to snag some Padron 45th Family Reserves at the cigar shop, I cannot imagine it will be too long before they disappear from the humidor.

Agreed, one of my favorite cigars right now. Love the flavor profile and they are always satisfying. I'd smoke one a day if I had that many or the money to buy enough.

I tell ya what's great right now is Zacapa 23yr old and a Dip #4, that sugary sweetness is really hitting the cigar. I swear I tasted a caramely sweet almost creme' brule flavor. Sorry I have no idea how that is spelled, but the combo is great. A little sugar and spice, the cigar is awesome and it's basically ROTT and def med-full right now. Yummmm

A special day deserves nothing but the best...why a Mag 46 of course! Great, as usual...

Great choice. The last couple yrs have yielded gems, have a box of 08's I have buried but they call to me all the time.

Opus X Robusto *shrug*

update: yikes, it was horrible (overwhelming white pepper thru the nose, building burnt rubber on the palate). 1/4 way through I ditched it, went to grab something, saw a Quintero and laughed to myself thinking "even that has to be better that the Opus", and sure enough it was. Granted, not "good" per se, but better.

Opus X need age on them, besides the petit lancero. THe white pepper flavor is diluted and the cigar has a softer finish, still no where near a good aged cuban.

Today...Diplo 4, then Epi 2, then for my 3 hours FoH marathon I smoked a PSD4.

[CanuckSARTech]

Last night - Monte # 4, November 2007 "BLP" box. Delicious.

[PointSource]

Smoked an incredible 1993 Partagas Charlotte.

Best Partagas I've ever had....

1997 Flor de Cano Selecto

I've smoked many from a '98 box purchased a couple of years ago,

and they have ben consistantly mild-medium, very tasty, and quite delicately aromatic.

This was my third from a recently purchased '97 box.

Both boxes are hand-finished machine-mades, i.e. no cello.

These are considerably stronger, a good medium+.

Very tasty, excellent draw and burn.

No wimpy cigar, this.

I have one example of a '76 Selecto in cello, gifted by a very generous BOTL.

I hope to do a full review of that one, perhaps with photos.
