AF Work of Art

Juan Lopez #2

Both gifted

The WoA was the best AF I have smoked to date, and the JL blew me away.

Might get a box of those next.

Last night was cold...I mean really cold...at least by my standards...bordering on 29 degrees farenheit. Anyway, opted for a quick smoke and selected a Cohiba Exquisito out of the humidor. I have to say, I was wowed by this cigar. Much more flavorful and stronger than I expected. Grass, Cedar and a hint of sweetness. I really enjoyed it over a quick 30 minutes.

06 PL Robusto-good, but not great

PAS NOV 02 Party Lonsdale- stunningly good. A special cab for me, produced in the month of my 50th birthday.

'01 Rafael Gonzalez Lonsdale.

Mild. Smooth. Flavorful.

Last night in tribute to the proposed deletion of the Partagas Du Connessiur line I smoked a Connie 3. A very nice smoke, but still not the one I would miss the most in the group.

Bolivar PC - love these, looked like a mutt, smoked like a thoroughbred

[gdmw]

MC#3 for me today. Good, not great..

[Wil]

PLPC. Good but not great. Bit of a disappointment as the last one I had was fantastic.

[thechenman]

Smoked a Bolivar Royal Corona last night. Blew away the BBF I smoked a ways back. I don't have extensive experience with the Bolivar marca yet, but the RCs seem very promising. Highly enjoyed the experience.

Smoked a Partagas Chico while grilling chicken last night, it was good but I would never buy them since they are the size of a cig

Sancho Panza Belicoso GAS JUL 08 last night........tasted like a piece of driftwood and a potato chip had a baby, not good

97 SLR Serie A- toasted tobacco flavor & 07 BCJ, from Czar's regular stock. Mellow & earthy. Tasty cigar, but too short!

[kjellfrick]

Tasty cigar, but too short!

Aye, right you are! I lit up a Punch DC -99 to avoid that disappointment and it's brilliant. Perfect draw and a full, toasty taste.

Cuaba Tradicionales...beginning to come to the same conclusion as KG on the standard production Cuabas.

Partagas Short.

What a difference a week makes! Bought a few singles of different Partagas smokes to try (Lusi, 898, Connie 2 and Shorts). Had one of the Shorts last weekend and it was pretty average. Had one yesterday with a bit more time in the humi and it was fantastic. Great burn, fantastic cedar/spice all the way through. If only I could've waited another week...

Had my last PSD #4 today. It was a melancholy affair. Guess I need to order some more in the new year!

Be glad when I have some stock built up so I don't have to smoke 'em off the truck!

Sunday afternoon: Bolivar Royal Corona TEB JUN 08 (HQ box) - Straight out of the box on delivery - Bean, creamy espresso (I swear!) and just enough earthiness - tonnes of strong, nicely aromatic smoke - this box wont last long...

This morning: LA Gloria Cumana Medaille d'Or No. 3 - left it in a cigar case over the weekend - should have known better - as a result it was slightly too dry and burned too hot and bitter for my liking and not helped by a tight draw - pity as all other samples from this box (OSU Jul 02) have been excellent.

Spent the weekend indoors watching the snow fall, so went through quite a few sticks. The lineup was an '06 RyJ Churchill, an '07 Upmann PC, an '08 Upmann 46, and an '09 Bolivar PC (should have let that last one sit, but it arrived a week ago from the Czar and I just had to try one; it was good, but needs some time). Had some good NCs as well - La Gloria dC Artesanos Churchill, an AF Hemingway Classico, and an Illusione 888.

Also had an '08 RASS - great flavor but it was like sucking on a dowel. I've never had a cigar with a draw that tight that wasn't totally plugged. Got about 1/2 through and felt like I was going to give myself an aneurism, so gave it up.

[bassman]

Corona Gorda heaven- MAR 06 RyJ EX#3 and ABR 07 Siglo IV. Wonderful smokes. Couldn't ask for better.

Another San Cristobal El Principe this morning (EMA JUN 08) - I love these little 'uns - my first dabble in the SanCristobal marca, must try some of the other vitolas in the new year - Resolution no.1....

[thechenman]

Smoke an SCdLH El Principe two nights ago. Astounding little cigar. Last night I smoked a Bolivar Bonitas in freezing cold weather. Colder than what I would normally go out it. Cigar was great...and I don't usually say that aabout Bolivars as they are often a bit too earthy for me. The Bonita was sweeter, less earthy with more of a toasted tobacco profile. The sweetness just sat on the back of my tongue after each puff.
