Sean3 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 27 minutes ago, JohnS said: A dear work colleague of my wife recently went to Cuba and brought back this custom roll. They stored it in an open environment for a bit over a month until they gifted it to me. Since I live in an environment which is very agreeable to minimal effort for storing cigars (the average afternoon relative humidity in autumn is 58 to 60%), this didn't concern me too much. The Cuban roller told my wife's work colleague to dip the cigar in honey prior to lighting. I knew immediately what type of blend to expect. 1) Did I dip this is in honey? No! 2) Did I store this with my other cigars in my humidor? What, are you crazy...and risk a beetle infection? 3) Did this taste like a Cohiba Siglo III? You better believe it friends! 4) Do I like Cohiba Siglo III's? Seriously dumb question that! 5) What do you make of that rustic and toothy wrapper? Nothing...this puro still delivered Cohiba grass/hay, honey and cream notes of glory! 6) What is too youthful? Hell yeah, it needed 3 to 5 years judging by the intensity in the last third! 7) Would I do it again? See the answer to question 4. I'm sensing not even a modicum of guilt from the taking of this young life! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, some in Cuba dip in honey and/or rum! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted May 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2017 OPM Sep 09 Diplomaticos No.4 (Thanks to @Bster). My last one! This was special due to my 20th Wedding Anniversary, hence why I brought it out of my humidor. Sourdough, cream, spice, capsicum (as some say, yeah I suppose it was there faintly), I used a cocktail stick that I had from my martini and charred the end of it. It was worth it! 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post LLC Posted May 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2017 Earlier today really enjoyed the Monaco GP and the had a Monsdale and a MUS SEP 13 Siglo IV watching the Indy 500. Both cigars very good. Indy 500 was interesting; first time I've watched in years and only because if Alonso being in it. I think how he did through the whole process was amazing.
