brutusthebuckeye Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 VR Famoso from 08 and Upmann Connie 1 from 08 both good but the Connie was better.
jrb5783 Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Working in the garden today? No not quite I do seal coating (applying a black asphalt based layer of tar) for a summer job (part of my father's asphalt paving business) and I smoke after work when my hands are still dirty
finecigar Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 '12 Party short from a cab (first party short). Every time I smoke a partagas I really want to enjoy it but I just can't seem to jive with the Marca for some reason. Just smoked one tonight also from a '12 cab. It was decent at best. I agree with you about partagas... Not sure what to think anymore.
Lotusguy Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Just smoked one tonight also from a '12 cab. It was decent at best. I agree with you about partagas... Not sure what to think anymore. Same here - that's why the only Partagas I have in my posession are a few D4s.

sengjc Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Quintero Nacionales with the last of the Ron Quorhum QRM Anniversario 30 rum. Something simple today since I was out earlier on lunch followed by a mini herf with Matt and Scott who was visiting from Perth. My white ashtray broke over the weekend.
Ophidion Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Same here - that's why the only Partagas I have in my posession are a few D4s. Ive tried a lot of d4s and the only ones that I really liked were from an 08 10 count box. If I could get close to how good that cigar was id get 5 boxes to put away.
CanuckSARTech Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Ive tried a lot of d4s and the only ones that I really liked were from an 08 10 count box. If I could get close to how good that cigar was id get 5 boxes to put away. I've got a Jun 2008 "PUB" 25-box I still have a handful of singles rolling around in, as well as a few 15-pack boxes of tubos from Jun 2009 "TGU". Both have been quite good now with some years on them, and I'm slowly savouring them here and there. Any D4's that I've got since 2010 have been so-so in comparison to those, and likewise, while I always have at least a 10-box of P2's in my humidor, those haven't been really grooving for me lately either. Aside from good Lusi's and 898's, Partagas offerings seem to be spread too far and wide with too much variance in recent years, a la Montecristo. Unless I find truly epic boxes of the above while on my searches down in Cuba, I'm not buying anything from these marcas now aside from hand-picked PSP examples from Czar's.
ramon_cojones Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 lol good lusis Graft, I like it. There's a lot of manicured hands that show up in this thread........ this is repulsive you guys who don't like d4s are doing it wrong
perfectform Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 07 RASCC. Ironically the box code is POS. Far from it. Heh Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Ophidion Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Your doing it right Very good, not 50 dollars good (was from 2007 OR). I'd rather spend the money on more boli china)
CanuckSARTech Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 This guy Your doing it right Very good, not 50 dollars good (was from 2007 OR). I'd rather spend the money on more boli china) This cigar is one of my "white whales". I've been offered to group-buy a few singles here and there, or a whole box of the OR ones a few years back. I'd still love to take that leap one day. But it seems that many have this same reaction. While I love my Montes, it seems that with these ED's there's lots of variances (not unlike regular Monte releases). Seems they're either well loved or just blah. So.....it may just remain a white whale. The fun sometimes in always in the chase, and you can sometimes be disappointed with the catch. Imagine if dogs were able to actually catch a car now and again....where would the fun be in that?!?!! LOL.
Bartolomeo Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 No not quite I do seal coating (applying a black asphalt based layer of tar) for a summer job (part of my father's asphalt paving business) and I smoke after work when my hands are still dirty Understood, I have done that job before and its a dirty job and lots of hard work
Bartolomeo Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Quai Corona MUR MAR 13 Colorado wrapper color Initial puff is fresh tobacco w a hint of sweetness Extremely fresh but not necessarily a bad thing in this instance Ash so far is bright Grey in color Solid Medium in profile compared to previous Quai Coronas I have had Construction is perfect, dry boxed for a day b/c it was still a little wet Historically I prefer Quai w age such as ERDM, LGC, etc but this was a treat Tea, sweetness and fresh tobacco make predominant flavors in first 1/3 Burn a little wonky due to the wetness but nothing to sweat Some grass, tannins and fresh tobacco in 2/3 w a little less sweetness Cigar is very smooth for such a young cigar in first 2/3 In the last 1/3 the cigar shows its youth w a lil more harshness but thats expected w a cigar this young Overall this was a very pleasant cigar and enjoyable! I could definitely smoke these now and IMHO these have legs down the road Bart
Bartolomeo Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Very good, not 50 dollars good (was from 2007 OR). I'd rather spend the money on more boli china) Stinks you didnt like it, I love these You are right, for $50 you should be wowed by the cigar
maverickdrinker Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Custom rolls for the past couple of days...
Habana Mike Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 No pics (mine always come out too small - maybe someone can tell me how to post pics the same size as everyone else's). Anyway, celebrating an unspecified birthday today, I started with a 2005 Partagas SdC No. 1 with morning coffee. 2006 R&J Short Churchill A/T after lunch. Preprandial RA Estupendos with New Holland Beer Barrel Bourbon and Dragon's Milk Bourbon Barrel Stout. La Aurora 100 Anos Robusto with Zacapa XO to wrap. All in all not a bad day enjoyed with fine food, beverages, smokes, friends and family!
Habana Mike Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Happy Sunday! Hella nice balance to this shot Rye - photo and cigar. Love your work!
