ramon_cojones Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Smoked an 09 esplendido yesterday which was excellent, these keep getting better and better. Buddy had a 2010 lusi which everyone knows I am not a fan of at all and dare I say it was excellent. A lot of partagas power coming through which shocked me and tasted nothing like any other lusi I've ever tried. I told my friend he will never smoke another like that. Turns out they came from a 10ct box which I had two of and all were terrible (and plugged most of them).
LLC Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Between being in the office and a conference call later tonight with Japan, taking time to enjoy a RA Gordito.
Ssmith114 Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Having a nice 2010 RA Lusitano.. Had some classic RA flavors but more time in the humi would help greatly
BRAC Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 A very young and still very good 2013 RASS today. These will be absolute crackers in a few years.
Charltonc Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Monteno.2 reserva, meh, royal robusto, excellent, andthen a 97 bolivar corona extra.
Ophidion Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 07 SC. Got it as a hitchhiker in a 5 pack of 06 HUP SW. Incredible
Rye Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Another wind-tunnel Boli RC. Great flavors, but sh!t construction. Sadly this happens enough to keep me from stocking these.
Habana Mike Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 2000 Hdm Double Corona. Had let these sit for quite some time since the remaining half or so had been pretty much tent pegs. Draw tested them this morning and found one had opened up enough for a decent burn. Fired it up with my morning coffee and was not disappointed, Light as expected, but some decent flavor given the dearth of smoke from a still fairly tight draw. Cream, toast, touch of leather - hope the remaining few open up one day.

Report back tomorrow
Habana Mike Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Yo Rob Will do, though following your suggestion previously noted in other posts, have given a few a shot without a great deal of success. I believe I've got a master case of plugged sticks I've collected over the years that I optimistically believe will become smokeable one day. So far I've only given a few of those a couple of hour's chance in the fridge, willl try overnight-couple of days. If that doesn't work, would trade you 10 for 1 if you think you'd have better luck!
Jeremy Festa Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Benson & Hedges. Awesome! Box code? How was it?
Jeremy Festa Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 And that's a wrap! Revisiting the Serie E! They are a substantial stick, not just in girth! I wanted something to 'finish off' properly after my rolled lamb shoulder! Pretty pleased with myself right about now! Salute
Mr.T Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Enjoyed the last of my HdM DC 2007 last night.Gorgeous ash, burn and construction and just the right amount of resistance on the draw. Got plenty of very nice hints of wood, earth, spice and sweet honey. The sweetness went away in the final third. Really enjoyed these over the last few years. Paired up with a delicious Diplomaticos rum and they paired up very nicely.

Rye Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Noticed this was coming up a few days ago. Wanted to try and snag it, but alas I didn't check on here early enough today! Good stuff. Here is to 10,000 more! Yeah, I slept through the end of the count. Great job by a wonderful community!
westg Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Little Maduro 5 from 07 or 08 not sure when first released. Have been buying a box every year in hope but never the same. I Give most of them away. From the first box yum.
Puros Y Vino Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Just finished an early 80's La Escepcion Excepcionales. Wow. Cotton candy sweetness, caramel and very tangy notes. Following it up with an RA Estupendo. UPDATE: Pitched the Estupendo. Horrible draw from the start, OK flavours. Clipped the first third off, better draw. But no flavour. Now on to a Monsdale. Huge Improvement.
Ssmith114 Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Having a very good 2011 Bolivar PC while enjoying this nice cool evening..
maverickdrinker Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 2011 BHK 54 and a 2012 RASS today at the beach.
