earthson Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Pre-empting my regularly-scheduled hoarding of PLMC, Marevas and Robustos to focus on the (Nicaraguan) Ortega Cubao. I rarely smoke outside the HSA catalog, and when I do, it's once or twice per year that it's a Nicaraguan cigar. Holy Jebus, these things are tasty! Very smooth, the Sumatra wrapper isn't terribly minerally (don't care for overt mineral notes) and the filler is obviously well-aged and cared for. The thirds go from creamy cedar and citrus to cocoa and chocolate and end in a decadent coffee cake/earth bonanza. Hard to find, but quite the pleasant surprise!

Pag Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Probably some RyJ MF or cedros or some Partagas M., Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanMcLean68 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 @El Presidente, any chance of seeing the Partagas culebras again sometime soon? I have been meaning to get a box o' coffins before these unique wonky powerhouses disappear forever ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotusguy Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Scored the Dip 2 at yesterday’s 24:24. Now I don’t really know what will be next. Probably whatever goes on sale during one of those 72hr deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeskSmkr Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Less than 48 ring, longer than 5 inches. Or a figurado with a tapered head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably whatever goes on sale during one of those 72hr deals. I've only been on here a few months, but have yet to see the 24:72. I just figured they don't do them anymore? When was the last one? And dif from 24:24? I mean, besides the obvious (maybe more selection?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rguinn Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I’d have to go with a box of PSP Monte PE’s. Such a great morning smoke with a nice cup of black coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm... that's a great recommendation of that run of Principes, but how do I categorize it, coming from someone who can't stand Upmanns... ?

Ask anyone about me? ? Something about upmanns is just sort of... astringent to me. I totally get what other people love about them, but they literally leave an unpleasant taste in my mouth. I make an exception for the noellas. The rest just kinda remind me of NCs. I’m a bolivar, partagas, lgc and PL man, primarily. Especially the pre-2000 stuff. 91-95 were probably my favorite years, at ~5-15 years down, if that gives you a better feel for my tastes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubanConnoisseur Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I’m looking at trying a box of Quai D’Orsay 50 or 54, looks like current supplies are slim though. Might go for a box of Por Larrañaga Montecarlos too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubadust Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I will only buy these: Partagas Serie D.5 HdM Petit Robustos RASCC And maybe if there should be any PSP Partagas D4s on 24:24 when I wake up. Besides those my credit card is on probation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
