Yes, didn’t know the english name but yes that’ts the one!

Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de Dauphin 1999 First from a box i got last year, got a hold on two boxes and today was the day to try one. Im a fan of smaller RG so I was looking forward to this. Started off bitter and very potent. A bit surprising for a cigar that is 20 years old. It reminded me of a strong creamy espresso, I’m more of a coffe with milk kinda guy but hey i’m not complaining. The draw was a bit tight so I took a he made easy draw and opened up the cigar. Second third had that balmy coat a lot of vintage cc usaly exhibits. The cigar lost in strength and settled down. Mild to medium with a taste of black seed bread. Final third was just strong, deep with a taste of menthol and bitterness.

2011, first from the box, just ok...

After some great paella, LGC RE Espana

MSE ABR 12 Petit Robustos and some Nina on the speaker,

When I don’t have the commitment to smoke a whole cigar these are perfect. MC puritos that smokes great. Dare I say almost like something aged?

Das is swedish 😎

Yes, antal is swedish for quantity, I only have one cabinet with boxes, the other one is empty so I don’t keep track on location. Been thinking of calculating value, its a bit tricky. Some of the boxes are bought by Botls for a lump sum and are aged. How do I value those? I dont’t update everytime I smoke, but from time to time I’ll update. The reason I have this is that I forget what I have. With this I can get a bird’s-eye view on my collection. It’s also a bit of the fun, collecting, cataloging and of course smoking.

Great Sunday. Worked a bit on my second cabinet, had some lamb racks and now this, a Cuaba Tradicionales URG FEB 11. Gingerbread-stick.

Cohiba Mini, does anyone know what year? Looks like something out of Windows 98.
