So sorry to hear about Mike. He was a kind and generous BOTL.

Smoked cigar #3 about 2 weeks ago one cold evening. Per my notes: Sweet nectar, oh so sweet all throughout. No thirds here. This is a wonderful mellow cigar. I was so engrossed in the creamy sweetness of the cigar I didn’t take a decent photo. 😄 It’s got to be either an RyJ Belicosos, or an aged San Cristobal La Punta. Some RyJ Belicosos I’ve had had such a light creamy hyper sweet flavor like this cigar. An aged La Punta can develop such a creamy sweet flavor as well, although maybe not quite as mellow - I haven’t smoked a ton of aged La Punta to be certain though. I’d leave out BBF or the Sancho Panza Belicosos, this cigar had none of those marcas’ usual characteristics.

So I have smoked cigar 1, 2 and 3. All I’ll say was number 1 was very familiar. How many PCs have that unmistakable milk coffee and vanilla sweetness? There were definitely flowers. Milder than number 2. Number 2 was, per my very limited notes, rich in flavor. Even had a delightful spice to it. I will say that number 1 was an easy one for me to identify. While number 2, I’d say being fairly fresh, took a bit more until I came to my conclusion.

Happy weekend to all. Is today the day I smoke Cigar No. 1? She smells great, that much I can say. Nice short video! Ken’s tasting notes were not entirely helpful 😆 Or maybe he was spot on? Hmmm 🤔

You got yours fast! They look great.

Sweet, I just emailed Diana. Looking forward to tasting some great cigars.

HURR on this hot weekend.

Haven’t posted in a minute.

I’ve had all those many times over and still didn’t do well…

Got tripped up last year where the BRC I thought I was tasting was a D4. And the JL2 was actually a CORO. And so on. So maybe 2-3. Let’s do this!

Nice aged Choix during work hours, thanks @Thirds!

Freaking fantastic old band Coronas Claro, thanks @lovethehaze. What a treat on this hot spring day.

Nice Sunday afternoon Coloniales from @inter4alia the other night. Aged delight. PLMC from @TTP21. Great warm weather cigar.

Haven’t posted in a while but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been enjoying daily CCs! Last couple...all winners.

‘20 BRC, midnight cigar hitting the spot after an afternoon biking. For such a young CC it was very very good.

C&C time! ‘18 Monte Petit Tubo, just recently received this box. Really nice. Great cocoa notes from first puff.

Nice cigar, hope it was great! I have a single gifted to me and hope to enjoy it this year. Which regular production RyJ would it be like, if any?

Happy Valentine’s everyone RyJ Churchill tonight, age unknown, I know it’s a couple years old.

‘19 D4 had strong floral notes along with the usual D4 profile. Fantastic.

‘19 Punch Punch Punch so good with a coffee/hot cocoa concoction.

Great CC in the early morning

That’s really cold but you were well prepared. Great cigar for the weather. I personally like Bolivar in the winter. Nice review too, makes me want to get some, although I have some BRC coming!

Feels like a special night for a midnight cigar. Completely still and quiet outside. Cold but no breeze. Lit up a ‘18 Diplo 2 and poured a little Hardy XO rare cognac gifted by a generous BOTL on another forum. So good. These are the days of our lives, so they say, and this was one experience I won’t forget.

You’re the first to post a selfie and review this weekend. You should be given a prize! Nice review and selfie. Too bad though the P2 didn’t impress.

Just received this box of TUA MAR 20 Partagas Shorts not even a week ago. I decided to smoke one on Sunday night to get a baseline. Blown away by how good it was. Not a fluke - I just had another one - again it was amazing. Tastes like it’s been rested for at least a few months. Rich chewy smoke full of the flavor we love. Can’t explain it but I don’t know how long this box will last this winter. Could be my nightly cigar.
