FOH'ers Daily Smoke

Romeo y Julieta Churchills ASO Nov 2016

If you've been following my 2019 smoking diary thus far, you'd know that the Romeo y Julieta Churchills has been a 'go-to' cigar for me ever since they turned a corner, so-to-speak, around 2016. Prior to this I had a terrible run of toasted tobacco blandness varieties for a few years and what this experience has taught me is to keep an open mind to cigars, especially in relation to preferred marcas and vitolas.

This was mainly berries and turkish delight with some cocoa and toasted tobacco. There was very little anise (or licorice) and overall it was quite good. I smoked it over 105 minutes and it kept my attention for that period, I never got bored with it. The final third didn't heat up or turn bitter, thankfully.

Working Saturday afternoon with Partagas. MSU NOV 18 Clearance from 24:24. She still young showing great promise. Nuts and Spice right now. Cheers

 

Cohiba Lancero possibly 2014? So I watched the videos and apparently I needed to try the Skinny Brunette @El Presidente. I even consulted @JohnS a skinny specialist. This has been in the humidor for a while. The only skinny I possess. So I am smoking her slow and talking nice and she is starting sweet with viscous curls of delicious smoke... and so it begins 

Finest smoke I have had in a very long time. 95 all day. Construction, burn, flavors all amazing. 110 min smoke. An absolute gem. Cheers

LGR AGO 18.  Ugly to look at, ain't it? (Playing up the ugly angle for the leper review weekend, it's actually spectacular)

I've had a couple of these...the profile for me was nowhere near traditional  cohiba flavors. You must be a transactional attorney with some of the hours you work?

To me, most of the ELs aren’t similar to their marca.  Never have been.  But some of them are excellent in their own right.  But many of them aren’t, in my opinion.  The 1966 is one of the ones I like.

I’m not a transactional attorney.  What are their hours like?

@Stump89 The RA perfecto have just turned a corner as the flavors are a lot more pronounced and not as muted/muddled

Petit Edmundo from the recent 24:24, ended up with GOS ENE 18. Pleasant smoke even for being ROTT.

Started slow and mild.  It was all wood until a few moments ago.  Finally got hit with a mouthful of sweet cocoa and undertones of coffee.  Burn, draw and construction all excellent.  The wrapper has a great sheen to it.  All the elements are there for a great cigar but the flavors are slow to materialize and fleeting when they do.  There’s a great creaminess to the smoke that coats the mouth. Hoping that sweet cocoa note returns.  

Its not a bad cigar but I prefer a little more robustness to the smoke.  It’s definitely under medium body for me at this stage

I almost cut one today but still so young at DIC 18, especially with the oily PSP wrapper. My patients is wearing thin though.

Not much of a beer drinker these days, but Bud Light actually pairs well with cigars?

'14 Cohiba Piramides Extra was from last night while i was doing a little weird surfing in the garage (too good of a cigar to smoke while wood working... Lesson learned). Tonight smoking a' 14 H. Upmann Sir Winston paired with a little Eagle Rare Bourbon. Nice way to end a saturday night.

I enjoyed the 1966s I smoked but they almost reminded me of Nicaraguan tobacco.  Some attorneys I know seem to work round the clock when they are on a live deal.
