bassman Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 97 Lusi. Rather boring for such a large cigar. Too mild. 08s are much more interesting.
cgarner Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 RYJ #4. Not a bad smoke. Got a HQ box of 08's from Czar about 3 weeks ago. Needs more time to settle in.. I know the 06's got a horrible review but the 08 was not bad.
android Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Trini T Robusto. today while enjoying the sunshine.
brutusthebuckeye Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Hoyo Epi2 today while cleaning the shop...abr 08 nice gar!!!!
PADDYWHACK121272 Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Siglo I (MEL NOV 08) while sitting outside in the first of the spring sunshine......delicious
thechenman Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Well...last night I had my first ever disappointing Montecristo No. 2 stick from 2008. Have read about other people having this experience, but I had never encountered it until now. While it was a disappointment, I've had many more that were great from '08. This one had a bad burn, extremely flakey ash and was the first Monte to ever give me a bit of a nicotine rush. Go figure. The flavors were a bit muddled, bitter towards the end, but the cigar did have that Monte twang.
gdmw Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 monte #4 from 08 I think, some form this box (or cb) are ok other are superb. This one was ok. Monte#4, when on, are some of the best pc from cuba. pure coffee and cream. Its a shame that they cant make this one more consistant than it is..
dball Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Smoking an 07 RyJ corona... this is actually pretty fantastic!
bassman Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 09 RA Celestial Fino. Love these cigars. Starting to settle down. Still very strong, but the rawness has vanished.
Stalebread Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 R&J Cazadore. My first. From an '05 cab. Very enjoyable. Not overpoweringly strong as I had anticipated. Distinct flavor although I would be hardpressed to name that flavor.
cgarner Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Tried to smokr a Cuaba Edicion Limitada last night and had to put it down. 3rd from the box. The first 2 were stellar, not sure what was wrong with the 3rd one.
Wil Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Was gifted a leather habanos pouch with a RASS and a Monte 2 from the girlfriend for Xmas. Currently smoking the Monte 2 and I'm blown away. Only had one before, and it was a real disappointment. This is fantastic!
android Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 RA Estupendos RE 07 at my fav Jazz club, they are amazing & getting better all the time.
Bahnofstrasse Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 07 Punch Super Robusto RE 2nd release...was just OK. Medium body, a bit tannic. Still tastes young. Need more sleepy time. 70 minutes...
Wil Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Party 898. Solid, but nothing on last night's monte 2. Just into the second third and it's surprisingly mild so far...
samb Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 A very very delicious HdM Epi 2 with Little Penguin shiraz. My first Epi 2, and I have absolutely no complaints. Burn, draw, aroma, ash, its all perfect.
PADDYWHACK121272 Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Mag 46 from a tube last night...probably 2008...with a few bottles of Weissbeer....beats work....
Kangaroo495 Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Punch Coronas and an Upmann No. 2. Both very spicy smokes, especially the Upmann. No complaints. The burn on the Upmann was something to behold.
Bahnofstrasse Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 07 Cohiba Magicos...this is one great cigar. I can just imagine how great these will be in a few years. Dark chocolate, cream, roasted nuts, plumes of rich white smoke... Magnificent! 75 minutes 09 PL Monte Carlo...have been enjoying this 33 ring gauge of late. If you have not had the pleasure of smoking one of these, try one!
android Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Late morning Dip. # 4, Cohiba Siglo 1 after lunch and a PLMC ROTT all very enjoyable.
