mm12 Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Had an 07 Punch Churchill this afternoon. Awesome aroma at cold from this box. Started off with earth and TONS of black pepper. After about the first inch, the black pepper started gradually morphing into sugar. Second third started off with very sweet milk coffee and finished with a reach cream and walnut flavor. Final third was graham cracker with just a hint of cream and spice. Great cigar, easily a 93. Unfortunately the vast majority of cigars in this box are rolled like wooden dowels. If I'm lucky, I'll be able to find 4-5 more smokeable ones.
CoryOllis Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 I was pleasantly surprised by an '08 PL Beli Extra RE. A marvelous cigar! Lisa was very patient as I vacillated between, "I think I'll get the Belis instead of the Encantos" then "Maybe I should wait for the Encantos" and finally, realizing I had trapped myself, "I've decided to get them both!" Thanks, Lisa, for putting up with my waffling ways! Steve
riazp Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 I had my first Monte Grand Edmundo LE2010 last night that I obtained through a trade with a fellow BOTL in montreal. The first 2/3rds of the stick were absolutly fantastic, but still tasted a tad young. this cigar has some defenite aging potential...Now I need to purchase a couple of boxes of these and let them sit a few years.
theholmesmob Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Really enjoyed a RASCC whilst sitting around a fire during the evening last night, lovely smoke, good company, plenty of wine....good times.......
tmac77 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Enjoyed a wonderful Trinidad Colinial last night. Have not had one in a while and, allthough young was a delightful smoke. One of the best small vitola's out there IMO.
maverickdrinker Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 07 cohiba siglo IV as I sat in Toronto traffic today. Cigar: really good. Traffic: no so good
bc8436 Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 '09 OpusX Belicoso xXx from last night Spicy cigar with some sweetness and a 'floral' scent when retrohaled. Very enjoyable smoke.
riazp Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Bolivar belisico fino for me tonight with a coke and the yankees-redsox game
investandprosper Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Monte 2 from an HQ box, with a nice dark, oily wrapper and an intense aroma. Chocolate and cream dominated the flavors. I've hard of great HQ boxes, and am grateful to have snagged one!
Wil Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Bolivar Corona Junior tonight. Has opened a little milder than expected but is developing nicely at the end of the first third. Love the size.
ramon_cojones Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 how are the superiores compared to the phoenicias?
chinamike233 Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 had a trinidad reyes this past friday night.... it was on the fuller side of med-full bodied... also, i was pleased as to how much smoke it produced, which was great... i find trinidads have a distinctive aroma, is that just me? 'twas a great smoke!
bolivr Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 PLPC Dec 08 . Quite loose draw, great volume of smoke from the little fella, but the harshness showed they will need a little longer sleep.
ramon_cojones Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Sorry Ramon, Haven't tried the Phoenecias, so can't really compare. Keen to try one if you'd like to do a swap. suppose I will have to try them and let you know
Croz71 Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Finished work, now enjoying H Upmann Conni 1 with a nice cup of coffee Lifes great
dB69 Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Montecristo Open Master from the beginning of 2009. Well, you know... it's very mild and quite boring. Good thing is that it was my last one.
Mr.T Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Smoked my first BHK 54 last night from the Czars. Before lighting the cigar smelled strongly of soil/undergrowth. Burn and draw were great. Notes of cedar, spice and pepper throughout, very good! Paired it up with some Lagavulin. It will be hard to keep my hands off the rest.
Maron76 Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 I am having a Boli Gold Medal for breakfast this morning. I need the kick as my next 7 hours will be spent on a 2nd grade field trip. Lol
