thechenman Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Last night was cold...I mean really cold...at least by my standards...bordering on 29 degrees farenheit. Anyway, opted for a quick smoke and selected a Cohiba Exquisito out of the humidor. I have to say, I was wowed by this cigar. Much more flavorful and stronger than I expected. Grass, Cedar and a hint of sweetness. I really enjoyed it over a quick 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thechenman Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Last night in tribute to the proposed deletion of the Partagas Du Connessiur line I smoked a Connie 3. A very nice smoke, but still not the one I would miss the most in the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thechenman Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Smoked a Bolivar Royal Corona last night. Blew away the BBF I smoked a ways back. I don't have extensive experience with the Bolivar marca yet, but the RCs seem very promising. Highly enjoyed the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassman Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 97 SLR Serie A- toasted tobacco flavor & 07 BCJ, from Czar's regular stock. Mellow & earthy. Tasty cigar, but too short! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjellfrick Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Tasty cigar, but too short! Aye, right you are! I lit up a Punch DC -99 to avoid that disappointment and it's brilliant. Perfect draw and a full, toasty taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Partagas Short. What a difference a week makes! Bought a few singles of different Partagas smokes to try (Lusi, 898, Connie 2 and Shorts). Had one of the Shorts last weekend and it was pretty average. Had one yesterday with a bit more time in the humi and it was fantastic. Great burn, fantastic cedar/spice all the way through. If only I could've waited another week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfoster Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Had my last PSD #4 today. It was a melancholy affair. Guess I need to order some more in the new year!

PADDYWHACK121272 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Sunday afternoon: Bolivar Royal Corona TEB JUN 08 (HQ box) - Straight out of the box on delivery - Bean, creamy espresso (I swear!) and just enough earthiness - tonnes of strong, nicely aromatic smoke - this box wont last long... This morning: LA Gloria Cumana Medaille d'Or No. 3 - left it in a cigar case over the weekend - should have known better - as a result it was slightly too dry and burned too hot and bitter for my liking and not helped by a tight draw - pity as all other samples from this box (OSU Jul 02) have been excellent.

jawofboston Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Spent the weekend indoors watching the snow fall, so went through quite a few sticks. The lineup was an '06 RyJ Churchill, an '07 Upmann PC, an '08 Upmann 46, and an '09 Bolivar PC (should have let that last one sit, but it arrived a week ago from the Czar and I just had to try one; it was good, but needs some time). Had some good NCs as well - La Gloria dC Artesanos Churchill, an AF Hemingway Classico, and an Illusione 888. Also had an '08 RASS - great flavor but it was like sucking on a dowel. I've never had a cigar with a draw that tight that wasn't totally plugged. Got about 1/2 through and felt like I was going to give myself an aneurism, so gave it up.

thechenman Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Smoke an SCdLH El Principe two nights ago. Astounding little cigar. Last night I smoked a Bolivar Bonitas in freezing cold weather. Colder than what I would normally go out it. Cigar was great...and I don't usually say that aabout Bolivars as they are often a bit too earthy for me. The Bonita was sweeter, less earthy with more of a toasted tobacco profile. The sweetness just sat on the back of my tongue after each puff.
