Popular Post HarveyBoulevard Posted February 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2019 And older CoRo of unknown date and some Eagle Rare. My wife has been away for the last three days so it's been me and the five-year-old and the two-year-old. Those two little girls will wear you out. My wife just got home today and it's nice to have back up again. 23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post liquid360 Posted February 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2019 In honor of this special day, it begins with a Trinidad La Trova. Why is this day special? Well, I’m glad you asked. Today is the anniversary of an event which altered our world in ways we don’t fully comprehend. It was on this day in 1930 that a cow was first milked while in flight. What’s this holiday called? Well, I am glad you asked. ‘Tis “Cow Milked While Flying in an Airplane Day” and so I’d like to wish you and your family a happy one. https://www.checkiday.com/bf810a3bfe1f0a8b8868f625be321ca1/cow-milked-while-flying-in-an-airplane-daySent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 18 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JohnS Posted February 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2019 Cohiba Robustos (2018 Xmas Sampler Series) The Cohiba Robusto would have to be one of the most popular Robusto cigars on our forum and one of the most popular Cohiba cigars too. It's not hard to work out why. Simply put, like the H.Upmann Connossieur A, it tends to provide a rounded flavour profile indicative of cigars that have been well-rested even when in their youth, and I'm talking about 6 to12 months in relation to the Cohiba Robustos. This was the 11th cigar I sampled from the 2018 Xmas Sampler Series and the reason it was left until next to last was because of my familiarity with it. It had all the hallmarks of what you want from a Cohiba Robustos; mocha coffee, vanilla, honey (towards the end interestingly) some spice and Cohiba grass (or hay). The strength was consistent throughout at medium-mild and it was easily 'nubbable', if that's a word! The retrohale was great too...roasted nuts or coffee beans is the best way to describe it, (it was) like heaven to the senses! Partagás Series No.1 2017 - Edición Limitada (2018 Xmas Sampler Series) This is the last cigar I smoked from the 2018 Xmas Sampler pack. I think the reason for doing so was because I didn't know what to expect, how did it compare to the 2014 Seleccion Privada Limited Edition, or normal regular production Partagas for that matter? El Pres has previously listed these as a mix of Partagas Serie E No.2 and Montecristo No.2 and after smoking it I see what he means. There is the Partagas sourdough, leather and coffee elements there combined with a strong chocolate and sweet baking spice note throughout. In comparison to the 2014 Seleccion Privada LE, that was more typical of the Partagas marca, with its uniquely (for a Limited Edition) rosado wrapper and strong paprika spice, this 2017 No.1 LE was more typically chocolate and less powerful. I just noticed that El Pres mentioned in a 24:24 listing that PCC were not going to supply this down the track so best of luck sourcing this in the future! 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lotusguy Posted February 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2019 Surprised a little bit that I actually enjoy this double-banded dollar gobbler. Has a lot in common with the QdO Imperiales. Of course, it costs twice as much as those were when still available The angle of the sun makes the wrapper look terrible but it’s actually quite nice. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AbasCigar Posted February 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2019 I love when you have no idea what to expect from a cigar. Specially considering you've never tried it before and it's only one year old. And it surprises you with fruity sweetness and cream. Perfect draw. Perfect aroma and perfect burn. Wow thank you H. Upmann magnum 50 for making my evening. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mtd057 Posted February 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2019 Beautiful Montecristo Churchill Anejado, not so beautiful night! Although it is 15F/-9C, I needed a cigar. Its been over a week and no amount of snow or cold was going to keep me from enjoying this well made stick. Beautiful construction, excellent burn and there were very few touch ups needed tonight. Started out sweet, with caramel and chocolate followed by a bit of spice and a wonderful cedar note. Other than possible frost bite, it was a very nice smoke on a very cold night! 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RDB Posted February 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2019 Two from last night, both very young but smoking well all the same. The QdO 50 is DIC 18, the Punch 48 from JUL 18. My first of the 48 and I enjoyed it: definite Punch signature woodiness, but in a higher register than say Punch Punch. Nice vitola too. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Luca Posted February 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2019 Some smokes from the past couple of days. 2007 Bolivar Gold Medal. My first time trying this. Interesting smoke for a Bolivar. Mild notes of nut, toasted tobacco, and bitter espresso. Very smooth smoke on the retrohale. JAN 2018 RyJ Short Churchill. Nice for such a young cigar. Notes of rose water, toasted tobacco and a slight hint of cherry and coffee. Enjoyable despite starting off a bit rough. @JohnS I am keen to hear your thoughts on the box you got with me. And lastly - Party MF. My favourite daily smoke. This had a strong white ash. Nice Partagas notes of breadiness! 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keen to hear your thoughts on it My palate isn't as refine as you guys.. Had to watch the review while smoking.. Had some burn issues towards the last third too.. Had to touch up a few times.. Draw was good, earthiness, lil spice & woodiness was there all along... Some baking chocolate was there but kinda disappeared towards the last third.. Overall was a great smoke.. Can't wait to smoke another in a few months time to see how it goes.. Thanks again for the review! Luca...
