This is a guy who did so many truly incredible things with his life, I don't think I have ever met a greater person. His presence was so powerful, I have friends that have called him “a force of nature” after meeting him for 10 minutes. The only bright side is that he couldn’t have possibly lead a fuller life. We just told our kids, and as you can imagine, that was really rough. In keeping with the thread title, I’m thinking of him and smoking a UAO OCT 17 Talisman. Eternal rest grant to him, O Lord; and let light perpetual shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. He sounds like an exceptional man. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After smoking this one, perhaps I should have another soon as this was superb. At a touch over three years of age the flavours in this cigar have melded into a pancake-sweet cocoa and molasses combination, with a hint of light coffee and just a touch of spice. Simply perfect for my tastes, this is how I like them. That looks like one of the darker-wrapped Principes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colour is more akin to what the shade looks like at the middle of the cigar, where the flash is concentrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CampDelta369 Posted September 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2019 Morning SP Non Plus. Nice smoke that pairs well with black coffee. I like how early sunlight really brings out true color of this rustic wrapper. ABR 18. Cheers 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to let some sit into 3 year mark so I need to be distracted as well. Thanks for another great review. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted September 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2019 Punch 48 2016 - Especialista en Habanos Exclusivo LGR Ene 2018 I've been most pleased with the past two or three Punch 48 I've had this year and so it was time to light another. When I first tried this cigar (when it was first released) I noted the roasted nut profile in it that was so dominant, after around 18 months the peanut profile is still there, but it doesn't taste roasted anymore. A Hermosos No.3, at 48 ring gauge x 140 mm (or 5½ inches), the size now seems more akin to a coronas, especially since the Robustos (50 ring gauge) is now the average-sized Habanos vitola these days. The wrapper on this was a deep rosado colour. In fact, it was so reddish-brown that I think the only other cigar that I've sampled in the last five years that was close to this wrapper shade would be the 2014 Partagas Privada Limited Edition. The nut profile was definitely there, but as I stated above, it wasn't roasted because the sour citrus twang that intermingled with a gorgeous light cream was the main flavour I picked up in the first third. In the middle third I got a pick-up of spice, however the sour citrus twang was still there and made the cigar so intriguing. In the final third the spice very much took over, like in a youthful Partagas Serie D No.4 and I had to let it go just past the band. I'm curious now about that spice as it's the first time I've had so much of it in a Punch 48. I wonder if my next Punch 48 will be much the same? I think I'll find out soon. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
