phreedh Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 H. Upmann Coronas Junior (36 x 115, Aluminium Tube, Short Panetela) Avg price: $5.48 Price ratio: 34 Did I like it: Very much Will I buy it: Could happen At first: Toasty wood, cedar. Mild but rich. Later on: Creamy, pastry and still cedar. In conclusion: A very nice little smoke enjoyed a sunny but windy day on the beach in Cretes. Practical with it's tube and the small dimensions. It was a little bit dry, but that's probably more due to the windy conditions than the cigar itself. Definitely a contender for a box purchase of small tubos. Refined and classy smoke! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phreedh Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Punch Petit Coronations (40 x 117, Aluminium Tube, Petit Corona) Avg price: $6.07 Price ratio: 38 Did I like it: Yes indeed Will I buy it: No, probably not At first: Ooh, flavourful! Citrus, berries, leather. Strong! Later on: Deep leather, very rich flavours. In conclusion: Liked this quite a lot. Draw was tight, but not too tight. It's a nice little tubo with good bang for the buck, with what I'd expect to be pretty good potential for aging a few years. I'm sensitive for harshness and there was none here, no rough edges at all. All these positives aside, it's probably not something I'd pick when choosing from several alternatives.

phreedh Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Hi all! After a bit of a seasonal hiatus coupled with a few tenacious chest colds I'm now "back" of sorts. First update this year is the above Punch Petit Coronations that I actually smoked in October last year. Oh well. Tomorrow I'll add a Bolivar No. 3 I had the other day and then we'll see where we'll take it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phreedh Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Bolivar Tubos No. 3 (34 x 125, Aluminium Tube, Small Panetela) Avg price: $6.47 Price ratio: 28 Did I like it: In part Will I buy it: No At first: Rich tobacco, coffee and almondy. Later on: Leather, rich sweetness and vanilla. In conclusion: Very rich and dense flavours. A bit too much for me, I prefer lighter bodied cigars. No bite, nothing rough about it - just very flavourful. I quite enjoyed the vitola. If you would ask for a small cigar with some oomph to it, I'd recommend this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btort910 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 On 9/17/2015 at 8:27 AM, phreedh said: Don't feel sorry for my taste buds. Since I started this thread I've had Cohiba BHK 54s, a HdM DC and several other premium cigars outside of the scope of this thread. Add to that, I actually like the JLP flavours. Not the Quinteros so much... I've had the Palmas Extra and I'm a sucker for HdM in general. Didn't manage to take any notes though so will have to revisit at a later date. =) Regarding the HU Majestics, I haven't tried it. I do like Upmann (such as the HC or Noellas) and I enjoyed the Epicures I tried. I disagreed with nothing but the format. =) The upside of me trucking through the JLP and Quinteros is that I don't have many shortfiller left to try. Here's what I've got in the stash for this thread, so far: Bolivar No 3 H. Upmann Coronas Junior H. Upmann Coronas Major Jose L. Piedra Cazadores La Flor de Cano Petit Coronas La Flor de Cano Selectos Partagás Super Partagás Por Larrañaga Montecarlo Punch Coronations Punch Petit Coronations Romeo Y Julieta Romeo No.2 San Cristobal de la Habana El Principe Loving this thread! Thanks for your efforts. Looking forward to your reviews of the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
