First NC I’ve smoked in awhile.  Figured it was the “Cigar of the Year” so why not?  The first half was pretty interesting although the draw was extremely loose.  Second half, not good.  I could see if someone only smoked about an inch of this cigar they might think it was special, but deeper in, it was pretty bad.  I am sure I’ll give the others away.  

 

I had this yesterday for first time after lunch. Didn't ruin my day, but nothing special. The La Historia E3 is much better IMHO.

One of my favorite regionals!

‘01 dippy 3. Much less “in your face” than the 5’s.  Really wish these were still around. So good.

Robusto XXL - that’s when the naming went downhill, IMO.

From the Knokke anniversary jar. Terrible. I’ve had some really good ones of these but this was crap.

'Twas a San Cristobal type of day. Principe in the morning and Fuerza in the afternoon.

Was able to get the furniture out on the deck and start up the pond. Lots of work to do still but nice to sit on the deck and enjoy a cigar.

First cigar of the season on the deck was a BTO SEP 12 CORO. Delicious.



After a delicious Beer Can Chicken dinner I enjoyed a UEB JUL 18 Dip Nortenos TE Canada. Good but I think more time is needed.

Checking in on a cab of PLPC. LEP NOV 16 from the carts a while back. Certainly better than the last one from the box I had probably a year ago.

EPM APR 2018.  Drowning my sorrows after choking today’s 2424. I froze on the Rio Seco’s like the send button was going to electrocute me. Pitiful.

EPM JUL 17 Punch Punch. Didn’t have time to do a review but figured I’d give one a go. I think I have one more in the humi.
17 Picadores single that was gifted to me that didn’t want to cooperate. The first inch was really good but after that it decided it didn’t want to smoke and the only way to keep it going was to puff on it. Relights didn’t help either. Put it down about halfway. Too bad because I like these cigars. Luckily the box I have all smoke well.

Bigger isn’t always better. First up a failed Monte Petit Edmundo, OBM ABR 17. Too tight and too damp, it was hard to keep it going, and there was no joy or flavour to be had. Regretfully set aside. Replaced by an Upmann Half Corona GOS JUN 17. What a super little smoke: full of rich sweet flavour. Equilibrium restored. Both of these bought earlier in the day from duty free.

 

Much better draw tonight. Still quite damp though, so the rest go away for a while.

Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.2 BUP Mar 2018

This was light and mild, distinctive Hoyo de Monterrey flavours were evident - light milk cocoa, cedar, clove, cream and vanilla and I must say that these milder, sweeter flavours really resonated with me. In summary, it was most like a vanilla malt shake until it got a little spicy late in the last third (which will no doubt settle with more rest).

I think I will re-visit this cigar, and soon. Most likely, after doing so, I will think about picking up another box. Can you tell I'm a real fan?

Nice review. I feel like HDM strength of flavour and body varies hugely depending on wrapper shade. Maybe more than any other marca? I have some quite punchy Epi2s from our host, but I also recognise this totally different expression of the same cigar.

Yes, I agree, they do vary. I know what you mean about them being 'punchy', at times.

Thank you @Akela3rd For this RyJ Cazadores! My first and I loved it!

Yesterday was not a good smoke day.

Started off with the review stick that had no flavor and eventually unraveled on me and went out.

Then a Kristoff Connecticut, it was ok, but won't smoke it again.

Followed by a mystery cigar from the Cigar Authority Care Package from last year, it was mediocre.

Best cigar of the day was a JSK toothpick 2.0, not sure if Habano or Maduro (how do you tell? By Google images they look similar) im thinking Habano, but not sure.

Followed up by a "baller" stick that was unimpressive.

But I did get a new hat from a botl, so there's that

Look I'm the Pope, don't shoot!!!

That's a beautiful looking wrapper.
