Popular Post JohnS Posted May 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2019 Punch Punch RAE Dic 2014 This Punch Punch continued my streak of Punch cigars in the last week that were both outstanding and full off 'Cuban Twang'. At nearly 4½ years of age, it didn't seem that long ago that I had the last one from this box, and I distinctly remember that it was more woody. This had that sour citrus tart or 'Cuban Twang' flavour in spades and a little leather and cream. A little one-dimensional but I don't mind them when they are like this. There was no cloves, wood or spice to speak of though. It just goes to show how much cigars from the same cab or box can differ in construction, flavour and aging! 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Wookie Posted May 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2019 MAR 2018...is RyJ Churchill making a comeback? This is better than my 2015 box.

Popular Post lovethehaze Posted May 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2019 Hoya Elegantes GOS May 18 second one from this batch .. pretty mild; creamy cedar, creamy leather & creamy hay eventually . Builds as it goes but pretty average honestly. Maybe a c+ to b-. Paired with a collective arts No 8 for and from our Canadian brethren...fruity. dank and piney.. cheers 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MigsG Posted May 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2019 A delicious H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 1, something 2018 box code (don't have it handy, LOL). Important thing is that it's pretty well rested, and smoking beautifully. The flavors are all there, and it pairs well with a glass of orange juice. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I'm having a tough time loving HDM. The San Juan at times shows stone fruits that makes me think this marca can be awesome. But mostly I detect bland flavors. Am I wrong? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The long answer is that Hoyo de Monterrey is a light-strength and can be a light-bodied marca which errs itself more easily to blandness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lotusguy Posted May 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2019 Confirmed that I still don’t care much for Encantos. The Dip 2 afterwards was better than the one yesterday (was gifted by a buddy earlier tonight). Still no box purchase for me. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really like the #2, but the No.1 I've had has been spectacular, with coffee bean and cream and fruit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I *think* I've tried the Epi 1, but don't remember. I've tried 3 or 4 dif HdMs and none have really wowed me. I will keep giving them more chances as I'm not fully convinced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood Ninja Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Another LGR JUL 17 El Principe. Reliably delicious and surely one of the great value smokes. Sweet and complex. I’ve been meaning to try these. This reminder put me over the edge. Box time it is! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have aging cabinets of DCs that are consistently bland, Especials...bland. The San Juans from time to time display some amazing character (stone fruits), but very inconsistently. Just not a great Marca for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
