All week it was constant interruptions, noise and phones, miles on the road, and decision after decision made on the fly. Now I sit here alone in the dark with this delicious Monte 2 reflecting on the accomplishments and tired, but in a good way. Success is ours...except for the moment the ash pictured fell in my lap; an undeniable failure that will be forgotten by the next third. Smoke on. Those are the best smokes.

Popular Post SigmundChurchill Posted August 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2019 Played some early morning golf with a CoRo before work this morning. And thankfully, I didn’t get rained out like yesterday. I started smoking this Siglo VI on the way to the golf course. Perfect timing because I finished it during the 4th hole, and then when we were teeing off at 5, out of nowhere, the sky turned from blue to dark gray, and it started pouring. We could not have possibly been further from the clubhouse. Thankfully they sent a cart to pick us up. Back home with this La Flor De Cano. The sun is back out again. 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TTP21 Posted August 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2019 EPM ENE 18. Monte 5. PSP. QdO 50 MSU NOV 18. Read @JohnS review below and you'll get an idea of the tasting notes on this guy. I get the hype. Draw was a little too easy so it got hot easily as well. Not my favorite - I prefer a different experience, but let's see what a bit more age will do. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted August 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2019 Quai d'Orsay No. 50 SMA Jul 2018 I've only just recently secured a second 10-count box of this, with quite amazingly, the same box code. So, at a year old I knew I had no qualms about trying one from this new box since the other two from the other box (of the same SMA Jul 2018 code) were so good. How was this? Simply put, every bit as good as the others I've tried, and with a little more rest, even better. El Pres likes to say that these new Quai d'Orsay No.50 and No.54 releases have an element of brioche to them, which is a French bread high in egg and butter content and is more rich and tender than normal bread. I can confirm that the gingerbread and toffee notes one gets in these is of that rich and tender bread quality. Again, as in my previous QdO No.50's, the last third was more cedar, hazelnut and 'toasty'. One note of issue that attested to quality seco leaf that has been used in these new QdO releases arose in the first third when I had a runner along the wrapper develop. It seemed that a potential 'mouse-hole' burn was about to occur, and a small ridge or hole was evident under the wrapper, but this wasn't due to bunched leaves, rather it seemed to me that the ridge was there due to a stem pulled prior to rolling. As a result of this, the anamoly in the wrapper burn soon corrected itself and there was no affect on the taste of the cigar. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
