Puros Y Vino Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Monte 2 Especiale. A bit young. Some coffee. Some leather. Very white ash. Overall a smooth cigar but perhaps a bit too young? Followed it up with my last ERDM CS. I've enjoyed the one's I've had but this last one really hit a grand slam. The entire first third was dominated by what I will just say is toasted marshmallow. It progressed to floral and leather attributes on the second third. By the end of the cigar the marshmallow taste returned. Very impressed.

Lotusguy Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 VR Famosos - just OK, like every other VR that I've had in the past (with the notable exception of the VR Maestros Spain RE which I loved). Definitely not my Marca. Followed by a decent RG Panetelas Extra (they are C&C so you can't expect them all to be great). I think I will light up a RASS from 2006 next that I just recently acquired as part of a sampler of rare/aged sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushman Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Last evening smoked a 4-5 yr old RyJ Churchill, for a change of pace......it was better than I expected, nice and creamy, but not overly complex --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=20.631768,-87.070655 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLC Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Just getting started on a JAN 2008 Siglo IV and so far the flavored are a little muted. Hoping it improves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLC Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Just getting started on a JAN 2008 Siglo IV and so far the flavored are a little muted. Hoping it improves. While I'm down to the last third and it really came around. Only the first third was bland. Since then it has been full bodied with a great spice and toasted characteristic. Time to get back to the cigar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotusguy Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 The RASS from 2001 last night was a dud - a real bummer, since they are one of my favorites and I was really looking forward to trying an aged one. Tonight more than made up for it - RG Panetelas Extra, which was quite nice, followed by an absolutely outstanding Punch Punch from 2005 and now a BBF from 2007 (I think - too lazy to look it up) that is just hitting it!

Claus, Have you sampled at all from your 50-cab of RASS that you recently got? The one that you, Frank, and I were all talking about, with the box code the same as from the Montreal herf? How has that cab of yours been? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a couple of sticks so far and they are just as good as that single we had in Montreal - I wish I had space for another cab with that box code...

Vcool Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Last night started with a PSD-4 that had a terrible draw. Far too tight, gave up about a third in when it showed no signs of letting up. Replaced it with a Monte PE, which was wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGC Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 2007 Part SD#4. The blend was spot on... just past the sick period. The flavors were very pronounced and vibrant. The only thing that bothered me was the roll and wrapper. I prefer thinner, lighter wrappers over darker, thicker wrappers. Since the bunching and roll was a little off on one side, the wrapper had a hard time combusting down one side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosh Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Winding down before dinner with a H. Upmann Magnum 48 EL 2009, my first of the vitola. Three years in my humidor and it's smooth as silk. And delivers tons of smoke. Good. Paired with an ESB and a splash of Ardbeg Ten. TGIF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosh Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Finishing off the day with an NC: a Punch (Honduras) Elite Maduro, from -08. The box in my plastidor is down to about half now. Not bad, but not very complex. Paired with a Scarecrow and a splash of Habana Club. Nice way to end a Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
