dB69 Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 San Cristobal El Principe yesterday. Quite nice cigar. Quai d'Orsay Gran Corona today. Plain tobacco taste with light herbal vanilla cream. Some cedar and cafe latte in the end and a hint of honey in the very end. Truly an excellent cigar!
bassman Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Haven't posted my daily smokes in a long time, but today's was special- my first from a REC MAY 01 box of Partagas 898s. This just might be the strongest post 95 regular production Cuban cigar I've ever smoked. And not just strong, but very smooth & with great flavor. What a revelation.
aavkk Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Wow and May 01 Steve? That must have been a surprise, no? Does the box's aroma at cold blow you away or was it a complete shocker? Nothing as of yet today but definitely something good this evening. i've got 4 lbs of bone in short ribs and home made BBQ sauce in the slow cooker. That will be served with a blend of kale, collards, mustard greens and onions. I posted the recipe a while back... http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=107034&st=0&p=244368&hl=+short%20+ribs&fromsearch=1entry244368
Pilgrims Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 First ever Bolivar (god knows why it has taken so long) Petit Belicoso LE 2009 - I loved it rich and full and El presidente's chocolate sponge is spot on...got uite rich, will buy some and keep another 18months to years...good stuff. I know the size has it's detractors but I like its full rich smoke with no need for jaw ache...
Plato Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Smoking my very first La Glorica Cubana Medaille d'Or Number 3 from 2001 gifted to me by a BOTL. I have to say that I am loving this cigar! I love skinnies. The price on these is pretty cheap too...around $130 a box. Seems like a great deal. I am certainly going to pick up a box or two! Anyone else have any experience with these?
coneatty Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Enjoying a Feb 2011 Party Short after a day of "honey do's". Just rich and spicy and loaded with nicotine. Easily my favorite young cigar.
rsanz Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Saturday... HU PC while out and about driving in the morning Cohiba Genios in the afternoon Siglo Six just before watching the England - Argentina game on TV. Great smokes, rugby wasn't the greatest though. Sunday... RASCC in morning around home RASS just before the SA - Wales game at the local stadium. Party short after I got home. All pretty good, although the RASS did start a little 'off' but it finished well. The rugby was some of the best, if not THE best, I've seen all year at the stadium. Such a shame Wales couldn't hold out against the bokkies.
LLC Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Checked into my hotel is Vegas and enjoying an 08 RASS on the balcony while the fountains do there thing.
riazp Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Punch Nothern lights while watching sunday night football pre-game show. I am not going on to a PSP2 and watch my Jets destroy them cowgirls.
Puros Y Vino Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 First ever RyJ Cazadores. Picked up a single at the LCDH while perusing TIFF for celebrities. Missed seeing Bono by a few minutes. Lots of craziness going on. Back to the cigar. Fairly linear smoke but very tasty and tangy. Trademark RyJ "cherrywood" flavours. Got some pepper, coffee grounds, oak, spice cake and some beaniness on a few draws. I think I'll need a box of two to lay down.
headstand Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 RyJ Coronita en Cedro: I have enjoyed this cigar many times while sitting by a campfire late into the night. I have come to associate it with rich dark fruitcake. From an April 2010 box: The first few I tried from this box were not enjoyable at all and left half smoked or yet tossed before the first third was done. Tried again today and had a reasonably good smoking experience. Medium dark brown wrapper, but dog-ugly, pimply, wrapper. Just right draw. Earthy tobacco with a hint of sweetness at cold. Very good burn. Flavours are woody hinting a bit at cedar, some coriander and nutmeg as well. Spicy. Also an underlying sweetness that has yet to emerge fully. Rating: 85 to 87. I am led to understand that these inexpensive (hand finished?)cigars need several years to mellow and come together. My experience with this box certainly suggests that it is evolving. Hoping for a good supply for next year's camping seasons.

headstand Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Monte Open Master. It was good. No jokes please...lol. I enjoy this line once in a while! Shlomo, is that a target painted on your chest? Cover it up quick.
rckymtn22 Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Montecristo Especial pretty good, didn't knock my socks off

Matt Day Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 saturday boli no1 purcahsed as a single good solid smoke 88 sunday partags lusitania mai 08 best lusitania i have ever had 94.5
goalie204 Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 On Saturday i smoked an 08 el principe at Kaz's place, and it was great. on Sunday at a buddies in Ontario i smoked an 06 Ediction Regional Alemania that was amazing, then some vegueros that was so delicious, but the draw was too tight to be able to get any smoke - Then driving from MIssissauga to Brockville i smoked an ryj churchill that was crap The good always outweighs the bad!
Stalebread Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 This morning an RA Belicoso, '05 UK regional. I was afraid these might be getting past their prime. Not so. It's still a tasty smoke from start to finish.
LLC Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 I finished off Sunday night at Casa Fuente with an Opus X double corona. That size is exclusive to them and like most Opus X's, it packs a punch. Not a great burn but a very good cigar.
Mr.T Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Enjoyed a HDM LE Piramide on Saturday night....finished these off. All of these were great. Construction, burn, draw...they went through various periods from great to mediocre, but they finished strong. Sunday morning a HDM DC from 07 with my morning coffee.Lovely smoke....cedar, wood, touch of white pepper and a tanginess akin to an orange liquor towards the back end.
Rushman Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Just finishing the first third of a lovely bolivar corona gigante. I can't say much for the appearance of this stick, it was a bit rough but is smoking very well.
bacalao Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Had a Bolivar CE for breakfast perfect size format hate to see these go. And just finished a Skull and Bones Fat Man after halftime of Dolphins game to lower my blood pressure Brady killing us with no huddle and two TE formation. If you like chocolate and leather definitely pick up some skull and bones not the ass kicker everyone makes them out to be.
