Dec 06 Saint Luis Rey Churchill (from the Christmas sampler 2 years ago?) Today is opening day for the St. Louis Cardinals and what a lovely cigar to start the baseball season with! Smooth, creamy smoke. Lots of citrus and graham cracker.

Sitting out in great weather - may it continue!
Fuente Don Carlos Personal Reserve.I've not smoked a New World cigar for a while and my only ever try on this was last year and I loved it.This one is equally as tasty and my mind is much more open to trying all types of cigars no matter where they're from.
Have a great week ahead guys

Cigars I've enjoyed lately...

1) Ramon Allones Superiores ETP Feb 16 (thank you Rob)

I find I much prefer this vitola in the Ramon Allones marca because, in general, I find it much milder than the other RA vitolas and they tend to be very consistent for me. Stewed fruit, cocoa, mild leather and a kind thanks to you Rob for making it possible.

 

2) H.Upmann Noella 2011 (thanks Trevor)

Every time you give me these Trevor I just marvel at how delightfully complex they are through the thirds. H.Upmann toasted tobacco, shortbread, coffee, a little spice through the nose, it's all there in varying degrees. One of those cigars you either like or distaste. Luckily, I just like them!

3) Cohiba Piramides Extra UPE Dic 12

I think this is one of my pure pleasures in life when it comes to appreciating a Habanos cigar. This cigar is one I 'lull' over because as I smoke it, it often takes me on a journey of awe and wonder at what Cohiba can offer in a piramide. Cohiba grass and honey, together with a smooth buttery and creamy texture on the palate which you can draw upon even into the final third sometimes. I think I need to get some more!

4) Romeo y Julieta LCDH Exclusivo Cedros de Luxe (thanks again Rob)

There's been an interesting thread recently (on FoH) about the demise of Romeo y Julieta as a marca. Many of you defended it, and more particularly certain vitolas you enjoy. I found it heartening to read. I've lucked out on enjoying those nice fruity flavours that I look for when I smoke a RyJ cigar in the last 12 to 24 months, I think the only Romeo y Julieta vitola I've found stellar in that time were the POU Jun 13 Exhibicion No.4s I had in 2015. Luckily this early 2016 Gordito (50 ring gauge x 141 mm) gave me a 'sour cherry' hit which dominated my senses and blended nicely with the toasted tobacco spine it contained. Not overpowering in anyway, I considered this milder than other RyJ vitolas I've had, perhaps a touch under medium. If you've not sampled this, do yourself a favour and give it a try!

5) Cohiba Espléndidos 2008 (thanks Alex)

Sadly, I did myself no favours with this cigar as I had it at the end of the night and I smoke it too quickly as a result. Still, a great cigar, but it's a pity that the higher heat I generated in my smoking negated the subtle flavours. If you are fortunate to sample this Churchill-sized cigar, give yourself the time it deserves, usually 1 3/4 to 2 hours!

6) La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'Or No.4 (thanks Will)

I enjoyed this woody, fruity, honey and spice offering on a Saturday morning with coffee. Thank you Will, this time I made sure to smoke it slowly. There's far to much going on in a cigar like this to make it burn 'hot' and not enjoy the complexity it can offer!

7) Por Larranaga Petit Coronas AME May 12 (thanks Kam)

Almost 5 years old, the question you're asking is did I get caramel out of this? My answer is ambiguous, yes and no. 'Yes' there were elements there and 'no' because I know there's some more time needed for it to fully mature. That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy this for what it was, light coffee, toasted tobacco, honey and mild caramel, how can you go wrong with flavours like that? 

8) Cohiba Lanceros PFY Dic 05 (thanks Trevor)

Is it an exaggeration or an understatement to assert that you've smoked the best cigar this year, when there's still 9 months left of it? Cohiba grass and honey married perfectly with a vanilla bean/creamy centre and a light cocoa spine throughout, this was the definition of sublime. I simply must get me a box of these and put them to long-term rest. I can't imagine that I'd have more than a handful of these "5-out-of-5" cigars in a year!

9) Vegas Robaina Don Alejandro OMR Oct 15

Have you picked up some 2017 deleted stock yet?  I enjoyed this at the end of a long day. Well, okay, it was my brother-in-law's wedding day, but after the church service, photos, long wait for courses during dinner and speeches, well, I was ready to retire at 10.30 pm for a long stogie rather than a dance. I think many of you can relate to me. It certainly helped that the best man joined me, and he is my other brother-in-law! Like the other 2017 deleted stock, this cigar will certainly benefit from some long-term rest. It definitely had the Vegas Robaina cocoa, leather and raisin-type flavour profile evident. With it been so young, I found it more leathery than sweet raisin, but I'm hopeful that this imbalance will be redressed in the future.

Nice Monte 2 from robs rotation sampler. This is the first Monte 2 I've smoked with the new Montecristo bands. I don't know why, but i thought I'd share that 

[Fugu]

Finally found the time to slip in a cigar (1 and 1/2 actually...).
HUHC - guess, you and me, we will never become true friends... followed by a savoury '12 Coloniales. Don't forget about these, people!
