thechenman Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Construction on mine was pretty good. Draw was firm, but good. Just terribly bland. I'm with Clint. Have smoked a few Monte Opens and not one of them was good. Extremely bland.
Stalebread Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Bolivar Royal Corona, '05. Better than OK but not great.
dicko Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Bolivar gold medal - some good chocolate notes but average overall.
melies Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Finishing a partagas SD No. 1 EL 2004 and I find it just amazing, it's smoking beautifully lasted for 1:50 and lots of nuts, chocolate and in the 3/3 something that I can only describe as licorice cherries. If you can fin the, you have to smoke at leat 1 I'm a happy cat
BatFastard Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Smoked a thoroughly enjoyable Party PC last night... Toasted tobacco and nuts. Dry boxed it for 24 hrs prior to smoking and it burned beautifully. From UMA APR 10, quite young yet still very tasty.

snickers99 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 14 degrees F outside. Sat in my pickup with the heat and radio on. Smoked a Partagas 898 from Nov 09. Deep brown silky stick with perfect draw. Started with wood and roasted coffee. Went on to leather and a touch of sweet spice. Aroma was of cedar and hot cinnamon. This cigar has always been a favorite of mine. This is why I love Cuban cigars. Wish I could buy the roller a beer.
mazolaman Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Sat in the conservatory,looking at a threatening sky,puffing on yet another San Christobal La punta. These are fantastic,even though they are still young(2010). sweet,fruity and oily. Looks like the snow is coming over from the states.....
RonLA Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Smoke a Monte 2 from 07, nice draw, flavorwise okay, had some of the nutty character. No where near the best Monte 2 I nubbed in the past. Smoked a Cohiba Genios, tight draw, opened up more second half, had the grassy flavor, okay. The previous week, Genio smoked previous week much better. Its like a drug addict with a cigar, constantly chasing that incredible smokes of past; HDM LE2003, Monte2, PV898, PS4. Perhaps the PSP will fix that.
bassman Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Nice & comfy in front of my fireplace, I had a couple good ones yesterday. Started with 02 QdeO Panatella & moved on to an 01 Upmann #2. Very relaxing day.
dB69 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 It was a happy weekend... Friday: Monte #4 - Very good Saturday: Party Lonsdale - Brilliant Sunday: Party SdC#2 - Excellent
dicko Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 yesterday- cohiba maduro genios w/ zacapa 23 nice!! tonight- monte no 1 long skinny) meh bland as
bassman Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 08 QdeO Imperiale, 02 SLR PC. Both very nice.
JoshMP Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Czar custom at high society bar. Hidden 2 flights up, cute little smoking deck and great gin and tonics. Cigar is rich and flavorsome, and so oily. Flavors have definitely married in the last couple of months.
scinmyheart Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 smoked a RyJ Petite Julietta due to the rain cutting into my smoking area
dB69 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Just had a Cabanas Perfecto -00. Chocolate and sour tobacco as cold scent. Flavours were nuts, pepper, cocoa and coffee - dark overall and quite strong. I like this cigar, very good for a machine made.
bassman Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 After shovelling our 17" of snow. I'm relaxing with a 97 Boli CG.
KWG116 Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 H Upmann Mag 48 Ordered this box in november (not from czar) and after a few headaches they arrived yesterday. I was so excited. I bought a fiver awhile back and enjoyed them. Only problem I was just getting over being sick with a cold/sinus issue. But I figured I could sort of taste so why not. Well I shouldn't have. Cigar was terrible and I almost got sick. Threw it out half way. Was worried all night I could have got a bad box. And after three months I would have been pissed. Today after setting up my new patio table and chairs me and my girlfriend sat out and read our books. Decided on a TEB 08 RASCC. Wow I could taste the cigar. Decided to smoke another Mag 48 and what difference. Damm good.very earthy and stout with that great Upmann twang. Wish I didn't smoke that one yesterday. And its so nice to sit at a table and smoke instead of a plastic lawn chair. Thank you Kwg116
cgarner Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 08 Sir Winnie. This cigar continues to knock my socks off. 10 deep into a 25er and I've yet to be disappointed. This paticular specimen was true to forum. Solid 92-94 smoke.
bassman Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 07 Party 898. Decent cigar, but really nothing special. I never quite "got" the appeal of these.
Bartolomeo Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Robbie(MiamiPadronSmoker) and I today, him w/ a Siglo I and me with a 99 Tainos............good times
