Punch DC UGO FEB 18

TUA SEP 20 BBF. I’m really going to enjoy this box.

Partagas Lusitania - June 2020 (OER) - Smoked like a dream with a razor sharp burn all the way to the nub. Partagas Maduro No.2 - July 2020 (TUA) - Had a rough time with the burn so I'll bury these for a few months and revisit.

RASS MSU APR 2018

Awesome. Burn was razor sharp, flavors were exactly what you want. Paired perfectly with my 30 oz Yeti full of Maui Brewing Company’s Lava Flow blend coffee, and 1 tsp of sugar. New box of Coloniales, put the other box of Cardboard sticks away to hide. This one is.....wow. Now we are talking. Dark Coffee, Black Tea, Yellow cake

Recent acquisitions Two shades with different box codes. Different shades even with the same codes and dates. All mesmerizing scent. Must resist and let them rest.

I am gonna cry after finishing this box.. it’s the definition of floral with honey sweetness. Perfect!

I still think Lusi’s might be the best example of Cuban Cigars. It’s to me the standard bearer. Which is strange because it’s quite different than most other Marcas who most will share at least some similarities. Wonder why that is. I guess it’s because if I want to show an NC smoker what Cuban twang is, what better stick to represent? Idk....just rambling...happy stupid Monday

Super busy month or so. First post in a little while. A couple standout smokes.

Smoked 4 or 5 different robustos this weekend to try for a review and only the BRC was even close to acceptable. Must be me. Tonight starting with Rio Seco and it makes me want to throw rocks at all those robustos. Really enjoying this one.

When I bought these Year Of The Pig CoRo's, I thought they were gimmicky. I figured they were just regular CoRos, repackaged to appeal to Asians, and for some reason were released in the Spanish market. They don't even have box codes on them, which made me a little skeptical, but they were selling them at LCDH's, so I figured "What the heck?" and bought a couple of boxes. The original plan was to sell the second box after a few years, but these have been really good. I don't know if they have some age on them, or if this a just a really good batch of CoRos, by total coincidence. I decided

Going out of my regular rotation today. Brilliant opening so far on this TRU JUL 19 Sir Winnie!

Had to see what the fuss was about. Aug or sept 20 box. Arrived 33 days ago. Wife is out of town. Second cigar of the day, and by far the most interesting halfway done. Some interesting juxtapositions in this cigar. Sweet fruitiness with leather overtones. And a bit of a surprise nicotine hit, but that could be my allergies hitting me. I was frankly in a bit of a cigar rut, and the flavors on this really just yanked me straight out. Thinking of getting another box while they can be found. Curious though to hear from those who have smoked aged versions - do the aged versions

So many great cigars. Love to see 'em! A pair of 2008s for my Easter smoke. Mag50 and RASS.

SCdlH El Principe LGR JUN 19 and RyJ Wide Churchill GOM MAY 19- .72 degrees, light breeze, cloudless Carolina blue skies, two good smokes. Hard to beat.

TES Jun 16 RAG on this Aloha Friday. Funny how I’ve got a box of RASS at 5 years old that I just can’t wrap my palate around, yet these at nearly 5 are always an absolute treat. BOR Ago 16 PSP HdM PR with some El Dorado 12 year rum to round out the evening. My how the PR has come around with its brown sugar goodness. Cheers!

HDM Epicure No.2 OBM APR 17. Put together my daughters toy. Thankfully she wasn’t there for me to put it together so she didn’t learn new bad words.

VR Famosos (FoH single) RASS - August 2019 (UTL) Beautiful afternoon while watching a Nats doubleheader and some Masters coverage.

Monte No.2 PMS JUN 15 while I'm working my way through some good old movies.

Last night awesome D4 BUM MAR 15 watching replay of the Man City v Dortmund game. Nice pint of Guinness to go with it. City got lucky but I will take it. The game almost ruined a fantastic D4. It was first from this box and wish they were all this good.

I don’t grab these nearly often enough. What a fantastic stick! Cheers, FOH!!!

30 days off the truck and she’s not ready. Darker wrappers with far more oil than my other box of Coloniales and it’s showing. Definitely needs more time before the stars come together!

First CORO purchase and they show up as PSP El Laguito 🤩🤩🤩

Espinosa Laranja lancero yesterday Pretty nice looking D4 for Easter

Looks my hair after I put my product in. Just awesome smoke

BCE FPG JUN 97 from 50 cab. Perfect draw. Perfect burn. A 96-98 pointer. Curses to you Habanos for discontinuing these.

BUP SEP 17 Lusi. Great to have baseball back.

SCdlH La Punta (RAT MAY-20). I admit it - just couldn't wait - it was only 7 days out of the freezer. Probably should have waited for a review weekend but, after Rob and Ken's review I had to tase it - and it didn't disappoint. Should only get better and better with some acclimating in the humi!

Today's enjoyments. QdO Panetelas POS MAY 06 A friend persuaded me to crack my box of these for a trade. It kinda broke my heart to do so but I wouldn't be able to take that box to the grave with me anyway. I smoked singles of the QdO Panetelas in the past and they were all mild cigars. The one from this box was much stonger, it took me by surprise. The cigar was stellar! PL Coronas UEB DIC 17 Tight draw as I like but not plugged. I smoked quite a few of these and only had one plugged one so far. Fundadores RAG DIC 17

Amazing p2 from 24/24

Punch Punch from the first box of Cubans I ever purchased and courtesy of our host (June 2018 box code I think). Finally warm enough to smoke outside comfortably. These are the ugliest sticks in my humidor but have all smoked great. Greenish wrapper hue and water spots but the best Punch I’ve had. Only 2 more left I’ll probably save them for awhile and hope my other Punch hit their stride.

A beauty Hoyo on the water this morning. Happy with this recent purchase!

PSP RASS while BBQing.

My Easter cigar with a sparkling Rose - last one for a few days as cold front is coming in. Edmundo Dantes Mexico RE, very spicy and quite strong, almost Nicaraguan in taste profile, great construction. Impressive sky over the vilage. @Chucko8 In all of 90 minutes I saw just 2 a/c overhead ( an A-340-600 and an A-321 ) on approach to FRA whereas in "normal" times it would have been closer to 25 ...
