Do you store/age in cardboard 3/15 packs
Sandman replied to Rhinoww's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
No way. Empty cab, or gallon ziplock. -
Yes, definitely. It taste like a mix of Upmann #2, and a Connie B. The RR wrapper tastes a lot like the wrapper used on Connie B, the guts of Upmann 2. Great blend, love that cigar, smoked lots.

Thoughts about behike
Sandman replied to Jauwels's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
Totally agree, and I’ve smoked lots of both. I see the similarities to Sig VI, but I have on more than one occasion thought that the BHK blend and Connie B share similarities. -
Great post, and 100 percent fact.

I agree with both of you. I was hoping to hear a glowing review of fresh 20 PLPC, and actually just asked the question of how they are smoking on a different forum. I love PL cigars, but for the most part, I dislike PLPC. So many other cigars out there that are ready to go. The PLPC is never ready to go fresh, at least not in my experience. It takes forever to age, and even then there’s no guarantee. To me this is a cigar that is way overhyped.

Those wrappers are no bueno. Overall, pathetic.

Thoughts on the Connossieur No.2?
Sandman replied to El Presidente's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
I believe you are 100 percent wrong on the Connie B. Mag54, sure, the size sucks, but I’ve smoked over 80+ Connie B, and believe me, this is a cigar of note. I would suggest later 19-20 box-codes if you really want to see them shine. And really though, and I don’t mean to be rude, but who the hell cares if they keep coming up with new sizes and blends? I mean, that’s a good thing. I think we should try them (and I mean more than one stick ROTT) and see how they are, before we crap all over it. -
Sir Winston DNA in a shorter vitola?
Sandman replied to FrancisK7's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
Aged Connie 1 taste significantly different to an aged Sir Winnie. -

Pretty sure that’s the case. It never works. I’ve tried this on different cigars, they don’t taste the same unfortunately . -

Sandman replied to FrancisK7's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
If it’s just Upmann DNA you are after, then yes, Connie 1 or I would suggest the Mag 46. But a cigar that tastes like a Sir Winnie, only shorter, there isn’t any other cigar that tastes like SW. Connie 1, and Mag46’s are all totally different blends, but they certainly define the Upmann profile. And also yes, the HUHC, they are tasty, pure Upmann, but totally on the other end of the size spectrum. Upmanns are my favorite marca and I know most of them very well, but their blends are noticeably different from vitola to vitola, but all stay true to the Upmann profile. Only one I’m not that famili -
Cuban Hoyo Primaveras Year of The Ox
Sandman replied to Carrie Nation's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
They are excellent. I smoked one on New Years. They are aging very well. Definitely top 5 cigar for the year. Construction was perfection. -
Found in a Barn - any ideas?
Sandman replied to Webbo's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
Don’t assume on the beetles. I had a box of 70’s Monte 4’s that i found a live beetle in. The only time I’ve ever seen a beetle out of literally thousands upon thousands of cigars. -
Has anyone smoked one? Cohiba Dalia
Sandman replied to El Presidente's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
Excellent, excellent cigars. -
Man, i’m seeing some really nice stuff from late 19 through mid 20. Good times.
