Popular Post BoliDan Posted March 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2019 Hopping on the Party Short train. Sugar and spice (and pepper!) and everything nice. This is OBM MAR 17, and still has the spicy kick but the 2 years brought out some cream in the mix. Such a good 45-50 minute smoke. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Akela3rd Posted March 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2019 After all this recent talk of PL Picadores I had to have one (EOT SEP 16). Very light draw, a little harsh to start but settled nicely into a sweet, herbal rhythm. Will try and get at least some of this box to the 5 year mark and see what happens.

A little under med in strength. Burns well without any touch ups. Good but not great cigar. Hope this helps Have a great weekend! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair this box has been hit and miss. I've had about a dozen but only a couple have really shone. A little underfilled in general leading to light and slightly harsh draws. Those that have been good are pure PL, hinting at the famous caramel sweetness. These need a couple more years really I think. I do like the size (Hermosos 4) and if I could get some consistency they'd be fantastic. Sent from my ActionMan walkie-talkie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted March 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2019 Rafael González Perlas Original Release circa 2011 (thanks @cfc1016!) I must thank @cfc1016 for the opportunity to smoke this original release Rafael Gonzalez Perlas from 2011. These were originally available in the European market, specifically Spain and then England, from what I understand. In comparison to many Perlas I've had over the years, all mainly from 2015 onwards, this was more dominant in earthy flavours. The cocoa was muted, very light, and the cigar now has taken on more floral notes. Baking spice was also a key flavour, but honey sweetness was minimal. So, in summary, very different to the Perlas I've enjoyed at around 3 years of age, but nonetheless quite enjoyable for a smaller cigar over 30 minutes due to its mildness and refinement. Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo du Prince SUA Dic 2002 (again thank you kindly, @cfc1016!) It was only just a week ago that I smoked a Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo du Prince from 2016, this du Prince was bandless, as they all were prior to 2005. The only Le Hoyo linea cigar I've had of that age has been the des Dieux, and this was very different to that. Before I enunciate the difference, I must acknowledge again the kindness of @cfc1016 in making this all possible. This 2002 du Prince was full-flavoured and still medium in strength, this fact alone surprised me. In terms of flavours I hesitate in describing where to begin as the complexity was quite significant. Firstly, the underlying cedar and cloved spice was there throughout the whole cigar and it was most certainly creamy at the beginning, but towards the second third the tone completely changed, with earthy (perhaps even mushroom) and herbal or grass flavours taking over. In the final third the spiciness really kicked in and it made me reflect on the fact that these Le Hoyo cigars really do have a long-life, I could have easily aged this for another 5 years and I don't think it would have diminished the quality of the cigar in any way. In conclusion, if you were fortunate enough to pick up a box of these when their deletion was announced in early 2017, then know that the du Prince is a cigar that benefits from long-term aging indeed. Good luck if you can hold on them that long! 22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
