DblToro Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 The next day I got my first shipment in and had to try one of the smaller singles I had bought from czar. Chose an Upmann Connie #1 even though it was straight off the truck or airplane and had 1 nights sleep in my humidor. I was holding the handrail going back downstairs afterwards from the buzz it had given me, . It was definitely a good grab, but I will have to leave things to settle for at least a couple weeks before revisiting it. I committed the cardinal sin of smoking it way too soon, but had fun and wanted the experience with it and snapped off some photos on my deck. The singles were from H. UPMANN CONNOISSEUR NO.1 – MGA MAY 10.
DblToro Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 T52 Flying Pig. Tasty but the first one I ever had with burn issues. Give those another chance. I think they are sick looking, but they are a fantastic smoke imo. I like them better then the T52s.
Lotusguy Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Give those another chance. I think they are sick looking, but they are a fantastic smoke imo. I like them better then the T52s. I love them! This is my 2nd box (have one box left now). I guess I wasn't clear enough - the one I had last night was the first Flying Pig ever that had any construction issues - the dozens I've had before (#9 and T52) were all perfect.

I guess I wasn't clear enough - the one I had last night was the first Flying Pig ever that had any construction issues - the dozens I've had before (#9 and T52) were all perfect. Ah, got you. They are pricey and almost a novelty, but nice long smoke for a little piggy. I like them better then #9 is what I meant to say as well. Take care bro.
LLC Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Enjoyed a COH custom roll that was given to me at the Toronto herf. Thanks Hans!
riazp Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Well the rain finally stopped so I enjoyed a fantastic BPC tonight with a double espresso. WOW what a great little cigar! Need to pull the trigger one a box of these soon.
maverickdrinker Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 punch serie D'oro, 08 cohiba siglo I and a trinidad robusto extra at the beach today.
DblToro Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne Connecticut Toro ( 54 x 6.0). Very nice cigar one of my favorite NCs and very affordable.Good morning or evening cigar, on the stronger side of Connies and a good all arounder for myself. Good value and nice smoke.
CigarAsh Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Just got home from a Sporting KC soccer game against LA where they got jobbed by the refs (gave up a goal on a clear offsides and had a goal disallowed on a clear on sides!). Sat on the deck for a quick PL PC. Fast becoming one of my favorite quick smokes. Very tasty. Glad I got the 50 cab - think they're already smoking well.
Mr.T Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Enjoyed a lovely Upmann 46 to round out Labor Day weekend. Burn and construction on all of these have been great. Typical barnyard hay with hints of wood, coffee, and honey
CanuckSARTech Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Is it just me, or is there now more and more of a rash of non-Cubans being touted on here??? Not saying it's necessarily "wrong", per say, but just a curiosity that I've noticed in the trend of posts on here lately, this being a Cuban cigar forum and all??? Just thinking out loud here, I guess....
Lotusguy Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 HdM Epi 1 from 2006 (working through my 5x3 box) followed by a Upmann Coronas jr. a/t. Both very enjoyable after lunch!

Okay, I'm a bright, shiny noob to FOH. But what I was thinking when I read NC reviews was, "well at least not everyone here is wealthy enough to smoke only cubans" :-) Now, someday I might be one that decides it's not worth smoking NCs b/c cubans are that much better. But I was rather pleased to see that FOH'ers can enjoy cigars from other countries.
maverickdrinker Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 08 party short and a 07 trinidad fundadore tonight
DblToro Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Cohiba Robusto after my oatmeal breakfast and coffee! Not too shabby, but overrated imho. Now that I am sitting on a box, I can say that, hehe. Enjoyable none the less.
CBL Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Just had a PL Montecarlo with a horrible draw First one from the box that was this tight. Burn was pretty great though Still have half a box left, these are from 2010 and already impeccable. It was my first LFTH box and I'd probably jump on them again if they show up. I wonder what age does to these? They don't seem to require any serious aging to be enjoyable but who knows... after all, it's Por Larranaga
Puros Y Vino Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Yesterday. First ever Bolivar CE. Excellent cigar. Wish I had discovered them earlier. Followed it up with a Hamlet Custom Corona. Sweet at the start with a powerful finish. A real beauty.
tdlfoto Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 1966 and a behike 52 living the motto "go big or go home" one cigar at a time eh?!
maverickdrinker Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 living the motto "go big or go home" one cigar at a time eh?! Always bro. Will stop when 'PIGS' fly....
Dbone Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 A couple from over the weekend. Partagas 898 and Upmann PC.
DblToro Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 A couple from over the weekend. Partagas 898 and Upmann PC. Great choices my friend. Love to try both of those very soon. For me another Coh Robisto 09
j0z3r Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 For me another Coh Robisto 09 Or as the rest of the world knows them, CoRo.
