StingMeadery Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Monte GR from LCDH Germany...it was very enjoyable, like a good Monte 2 but I cant justify the price tag for these cigars when there are others cheaper that are just as good or better I just think of them as a grown up Monty 2...and how they should be, missing the inconsistencies lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rmill3r Posted August 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2014 Lately, when I want a cigar I've been trying to stick to my NCs so that I can continue to let my first CCs age. But I declared this weekend "Cuban Weekend"! First up was: Upmann Half Corona (AME JUL 13) on a dark, stormy morning with a cup of low-acid French Roast coffee and a good book. Creamy notes of milk coffee, hazelnut, savory mushrooms Couldn't let the thing die . . . Next up was a late night Bolivar Belicosos Finos (LOE OCT 13). I've heard these are only truly great after some aging (at least three years, I've heard), so I was hoping to wait for my first one till at least October, but I couldn't stand the wait. Had to have one a couple months shy of a year and I was not disappointed in the slightest! Very creamy; notes of strong, black coffee; baked goods; a little pepper; peanut butter The next morning, after a tasty brunch, had an Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 (AME JUN 13)--my first box. I enjoyed this with my morning/afternoon coffee mixed with some Ardbeg Uigeadail single malt scotch whisky. Also creamy notes of butter, nutmeg, herbal tea. I'm glad these were my first box. Quite a joy! And finally, I closed the weekend off with the ever-reliable Partagas Short (TAL JUN 13)! These are certainly little firecrackers as many know, but this one was surprisingly soft and not as overbearing on the spices. Even more creamy notes of butter, milk coffee, nutmeg, and some stronger spices and leather toward the end. These just get better and better... Also couldn't let it die . . . 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikek Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 My first ever under filled Hoyo Epic.#2,horrible,this is one someone sent me A couple years back.It felt Ok until I cut it the head cracked I lite it and man was it raspey! But I'm A determind SOB I kept smokeing until the last third and tossed it. Never have I had A cigar taste so bad especialy Hoyo#2 anybody else ever run into something like this? Luckily it was the only one! I would have thrown A box of these in the trash! I take pride in the cigars I send to other people oh well it was A trade I don't quit remember what for,I do remember the fellow telling me they need some age! HA HA if A cigar is bad when it's young all you end up with is an aged bad cigar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
