mbrody Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 RASS 07 - also very nice. Half of this box was not too great. Could they just have been too young and are turning the corner?
Omskakas Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 RyJ Cazadore ABR 10 -Full bodied from the beginning -Salty, roasted tobacco with some blasts of pepper spice -Didn't evolve almost at all -Could be smoked fast or slow, no difference -Nice outdoor smoke overall 3,5 / 5
sblevit Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 07 Bolivar Gold Medal with a glass of Flor de Cana and lemons. Draw was tight. I commonly see this problem with lonsdale cigars.
groza Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 CAO Italia Novella. Quite earthy and strong for its small size.
Wicky Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Por Larranaga Petit Corona. My first (PE Jan '10) box of these, and I can't keep my hands off them. (green spots and all!)
Stalebread Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Yesterday afternoon: RA Belicoso '05. Very enjoyable.
investandprosper Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 08 Sir Winston 08 Bolivar Corona Junior unknown age, but older, PSD4 Fantastic day for the leaf!
groza Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Flor de Oliva Robusto. Some leather, some spice but overall more of a 'meh' cigar.
rock Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 I had a SLR DC, VR DA, and will probably have a SLR regios now.
CanuckSARTech Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Yesterday, 3 cigars, while out with a bunch at the FOH Toronto Meet Up: Trinidad Robustos T, Mar. 2010 "GLP" box, 90 score. My first cigar of the evening while we Canadians (from the Toronto area, at least) were out at The Drake Hotel's rooftop patio in downtown Toronto. A great start to the evening - flawless construction, nice wrapper and cold aroma, solid 1/3-at-a-time ashes, great draw. Flavours of tea, florals, light toasted tobacco - nice. Ended with a bit of a harsh tone, though, due to the rain and still being a bit young. Cuaba Piramides EL 2008, Sept. 2008 "USE" box, 94 score. HOT DAMN!!! Definitely a redeemer after my last experience with these a bit ago that left me disappointed. Beautiful on all counts. Raisins, dark chocolate, cloves, some fresh leather. Body and flavours just built up and kept me longing for it to last all night. Just an awesome cigar for "desert" after a great steak dinner. Bolivar Gold Medal, Jun. 2008 "LSM" box, 91 score. My first of these, from a trade with a fellow FOH'er (thanks Frank!!!) Very nice long & skinny - not my normal format to go to. I was SO able to get a hit on that Bolivar profile that's talked about (my last Boli was from 2 years ago or so, and before that about 5 years - and that's about it). This cigar was a bold medium to medium-full (but not in a nicotine-heavy, overpowering way - just definitive flavours), with damp earth, old leather, a strong "mineral" profile (limestone, chalky, wet gravel - but not in a bad way at all), and even a hint of wet cedar burning in the background. Needed a few relights, but was extremely enjoyable. Have another from the same trade, and will definitely be looking at getting a box of these. A great end to an awesome night.
mbrody Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Over the past few days: 09 Mag 46 08 Mag 46 04 Upm Connie 1 08 Coro Mag 46 wins again
ChanceSchmerr Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 a delightful discontinued C&C I found in Vancouver, a Punch Belvederes. from 1999, a wonderful little smoke. Very Impressed!
rckymtn22 Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Por Larranaga Limited Robusto Smoked down to the numb, pretty damn good
groza Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Montecristo Open Regata. Not as flavourful as a Petit Edmundo but not terrible either.
LeafLover Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Partagas Serie du Connaisseur No. 1 Cigar looks great. But Steve, if you are smoking in your man cave, dude your man cave rocks!
mbrody Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Really good JL1. Man these fly under the radar...
CanuckSARTech Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 Monte No. 4, from my HQ box from Czar's. Had it at 5pm today with a hot apple cider - was perfect on a cold, windy afternoon. Scored a 91, not as nice out of the box as the PSP ones are, but still excellent (more toothy, so will age nicely hopefully).
jackohalloran Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 Cohiba Siglo IV as always sensational, completely relaxed me
investandprosper Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 Partagas 898V, been a month or so since my last and they are coming along nicely. Great draw, burn, and flavor. Much smoother than other Partagas I've had.
CBL Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 Right now I'm smoking a Bolivar Coronas Junior and before that a RASCC, both TEB boxes
