FOH'ers Daily Smoke

[TheFullMontecristo]

Hit the gym hard today after a lengthy layoff and needless to say I needed a drink and a smoke lol but nothing too heavy. An SLR Serie A and bottle of Prosseco on the deck on a warm afternoon fit the bill.

H. Upmann Lonsdale from 2002

Very nice intense and typical H. Upmann aroma. Medium body, yeast, brioche dough, delivate roast and toast flavours and loads of clean tobacco. Perfect friend of a Gin Tonic (Monkey 47, Tonic 1724, thyme sprig)

[Orion21]

Loving my first Upmann EL '12. Much more enjoyable than the RR.

Update:

Stellar cigar! Perfect construction and 1hr 10mins of pure Upmann heaven

[Ssmith114]

Smoking a wonderful 98 ERDM Lonsdale!

2010 Trinidad Robusto T tonight.....what a smoke!

[Orion21]

Keeping the H. Upmann night rolling with a 2007 Monarch. Exceptionally smooth and sweet.

[maverickdrinker]

been working on a business plan, reviewing economic and capital markets information and putting together a sales projection thesis since this morning....

Time to relax with some Ardbeg Uigeadail and a 2013 ER Cuba EDRM Infantes....

Cup of java and a Mag 48 on the deck this a.m. Working from home has its perks.

[garbandz]

For a daily cigar I smoke RyJ Mille Fleurs,Flor de Cano selectos,Hoyo coronations.

These are "first of the day" sticks,to wake my palate.

My second rotation includes Quay,Monte 3,Boli pc,Sancho pc.

I save the big hitters for my weekly get togethers and after dinner weekend smokes.

The really old stuff is for special occasions,anniversary,birthday,holidays.

[Nino]

A truly hot summer day at 32 C - relaxed reading more old books and sipping on Mulata 7 while having another excellent Bolivar 5-ta Ave 109 after dinner.

Tomorrow it's "back to the roots" night - cigar dinner at the Mainz Hyatt Regency, so back on memory lane ... they stopped the "Smoke & Dine" dinners a few years back and are re-starting them again, we'll see.

[maverickdrinker]

thats funny Nino. just finished one myself...

EOG CCUD 7/99 Partagas Perfecto

My package arrived that included a Box of these cello wrapped, machine made Marcas from 7/99.

Have to say I got a score as they are very much alive. Great spicy Partagas tobacco flavor from the get go. Very enjoyable secondary aroma according to Wifie. Leather, earth, coffee, with a bit of sweetness on the palate. At 100chf for this vintage Box, it was a great purchase!

[riazp]

smoking a H Upmann 2012 EL after seeing Aarons post on these...what a smoke!

[bigpete]

'11 RASS. This one so far has been okay but the prior ones were pretty good. Almost time to reload on these....

[Orion21]

Two wonderful robustos tonight:

2008 CoRo - still needs time.

2012 HQ PSD4 - very flavorful and smooth

[Ghabanos]

2002 Por Larranaga Petit Corona. Strong, spicy and sweet with loads of roasted caramel.

Striking photo. Well captured.

[Ghabanos]

Near perfection achieved. Big Rock brewery's Saaz republic pilz, and an H Upmann Mag46 from '11, and 30 degree weather. All on a holiday Monday!

Wicked angle. Well captured. Love the sky. Very dark blue.

[Mr.T]

A very nice Trinidad Fundadore 2005. Only several left from the box and they have been very good with the classic grassy core along with plenty of espresso and creamy, vanilla notes in the background. They're still on the fuller to medium side and have more years ahead of them. I doubt I'll be able to hang on for too much longer.

[Dbone]

PSP 2010 HUpmann PC, smoked so well I had to share.

[Rye]

It's been too hot to pair with anything but beer, or water. Great CoRo

[Orion21]

I really wanted to love this cigar, but its not complying. The HQ PSD4 from last night is kicking its rear so far.

[B3n]

@Rye: cool pic as always.

Did a comparison this night; all in the name of science: La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'Or No. 2 from 1998 vs. La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'Or No. 1 from 1998 as well.

Very consistent apart from the differences in ring gauge. Very intense licorice sirup core with plenty of spice left. Very unique. Full bodied and full flavored. Perfect balance in terms of sweetness, bitterness, acidity, saltiness and even umami. Very long and mouth coating finish on both sticks as well. These are really outstanding. Though the No. 1 needs a lot of concentration and discipline to show its real class; is ruined easily if one is greedy. The No. 1 might be a bit earthier especially in the first two thirds the No. 2 is creamier right from the start. Both end in heavenly creaminess...A shame that these are not produced anymore.
