Tino Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I could be mistaken but that looks like a serie A from SLR. It's too bad you didn't enjoy it because usually those cigars are really good. Don't give up on the marca LordAnubis because although SLR doesn't produce a wide variety, the few they produce can be excellent. Better luck next time! Alan will be able to confirm but I'm pretty sure they're the discontinued Coronas, he picked them up in Dubai duty free I think?
LordAnubis Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 A PL RE Asia Pacific today thanks to Martin from London. Traditional cuban flavours. Nice cream and toasted tobacco. A bit of sweetness. Paired well with a sprite. Was a good smoke for cigar sunday while polishing the boots. Got a bit harsh towards the end but im guessing it's just a bit young. Good smoke none the less, thanks mate! Catch up soon. And that SLR wasn't bad, it was different... it's just not my flavour of cigar. Just like Vegas Robaina, El Ray Del Mundo, RyJ and pretty much all non cubans aren't my type of cigar. To each his own. Was a great gift to try out anyway from a BOTL!
LexG Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Well, I know its not 'today', but my wife and I are back from our 12month overseas stint. was awesome! 9 months in Scotland working in a whisky/cocktail bar, and then 3 months on the road in a camper doing the majority of western Europe. Had some great smokes on the road trip, thought I'd share some of the special ones and regionals. Punch Sir John (Germany) Bolivar Esp no. 2 (Germany) Caruntumi, a Nicaraguan RE made for Austria. I thought what the hell. good smoke, good price. Diplomatico Colleccion Privada (Spain) on the beach in Sicily. dam good smoke. HdM something on Sicily. we were only going to stay at this campsite for one night, ending up being 4. I am sitting at the back of our van, this was our view the whole time we were there. Juan Lopez Ideales (Austria), my pick of all the regionals. PL Small Robusto (Italy) Juan Lopez short robusto (Andorra) my first Davidoff, was super creamy. Vega Fina perla I think it was called. heard a bit of hype about this brand, not to my liking. First smoke of 2014 and first one with the Syd boys. great smoke, keen to get some more to put down if i can. second one, an Illusione Rothie!! looking forward to plenty more smokes with you fellas in 2014!!

targa88 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Delicious Lusi. Usually a summer stick. Forgetting how cold it is outside...
kevinfj Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Usually underwhelmed by these but this little box pressed VR Unicos is a beauty.
Ophidion Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Dec 13 Monsdale. The rest will sleep for a good while. Great potential

sw15825 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 JL #2, MAY 2013. Young but beautiful aroma and good flavors. I love the richness and aromas in these.
Armaniac Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Seems like I'm always smoking these. My go to cigar. It's a balmy 25F (-4C) in Montreal and I can finally sit in my garage and have one of these!!
johnhenry Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Trying a trini colonial 2013 Rott,not to shabby.
ramon_cojones Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 ok presidente ok demi tasse ok short eh unico (never had a great one of these) was a mediocre smoking weekend
Lotusguy Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 A great Upmann Petit Robusto from the 2012 Travel Retail Selection, followed by one terrible Cuaba and a very nice Cuaba (Divinos, I think). The last one had a kind of perfumy lavender note but I really liked it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Mr.T Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Had a lovely Partagas Serie D1 EL. Superb smoke with notes of pepper, sweet wood, cocoa, orange peel and chocolate truffle.. Love these Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Orion21 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 ^^^ Very nice. I have smoked one of these and it was flat. I have a few more to smoke thru and will soon.
Bartolomeo Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 PL Legendarios RE Espana Smoking one before cold weather gets here tonight, looking forward to Miami next week, Very good, tad tight from mules journey but think very high of these in the long run Bart
canadianbeaver Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 A tad premature perhaps, but I can't stand it... (Pretty nice, but in a year watch out!)
Bartolomeo Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Monte 2 from April 13 boxcode to see what all the fuss is about......not normally a Monte 2 fan b/c of their inconsistency over the years but this was really enjoyable....true Monte profile and flavors.....young but shows lots of promise .....overall very impressed by this cigar Bart
