Fugu Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Inspired by Rob's gnarly-cigar competition, decided it's time to grab an older Dominican that had never really caught my attention (can't quite remember whether bought, gifted or received as a freeby a few years ago). While optically and constructionwise the Perfecto wouldn't qualify for the contest, in fact, sporting quite a beautifully smooth col-cl Connecticut wrapper, draw and burn were absolutely flawless. The cigar's only issue.... nothing in the taste and aroma department. Nothing, virtually nothing. Like a light cigarette (perhaps expired, I guess my own fault... ). I just checked back - a cigar at the price of a Conny A! I could bring myself to smoking the full first third (for the sake of "enlightenment"), but then tossed it. Complete waste of time. Immediately followed by a ETP 15 MdO 4. Wanted to make sure it's going to hit - and it was!... as always. The 2015 MdO4 production is just gorgeous. For me even one gear above '13 and '14 production. People - for those of you who like the format, if not done yet, go do yourself a favor and put a few boxes aside! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akela3rd Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 After all the small cigar talk in another thread I had to have a Monte No.5. Beautiful way to wind down before bed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LLC Posted July 24, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2016 LGC MDO#2 from 2002. I've had many of the recent releases but never one this old. Came from a friend and great BOTL at last years Toronto MegaHerf. Quite floral with an enjoyable sweetness on the finish, very enjoyable cigar. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akela3rd Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I've always liked them. Quite mild, subtle grassy flavours, a little sweet. They do need a couple of years to settle though. I started on this mid-14 box a year ago and have almost finished it and they've improved no end over the year.

luv2fly Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 2009 Punch Punch. Sorry, no pics but the phone battery was Tango Uniform. What a fantastic smoke! Everything I love in an aged Punch Punch.
