FOH'ers Daily Smoke

[Chef]

This one is definitely still pretty full.  I'd say medium-full on a CC scale; medium+ on a NC scale.  The chocolate and earth, some of my favorite flavors in a cigar, definitely showcased their strength.  I watched Rob, Ken, and Smithy's review of this cigar from a while back, and so far I'm missing that stewed fruit component they spoke of.  That part of the flavor profile is either aged out, or this sample never had it.  To be fair, I'm only half way through, so maybe it'll show up.  Either way, it's been a long week, and this cigar was the right way to smoke my cares away....at least for a little while.

 

Some nice nuttiness now....and practicing my Halfwheel grip...

MEL JUL 08 CoLa and a bottle of water (I’m trying to get in better shape). 

Great cigar!!!! Have barely touched this box, looking forward to smoking it!

My first Dip 2. Wow ! I am a monti 2 lover but I may have a new goomah. Bought from down under as a single; creamsicle, twang and sweetness at the end for the first 1/3 so far.

C&S time. Hands down the best punch that I’ve had. Worthwhile grabbing some of you can. The stouts, my favourite was the Limeburners and Pirate Life collaboration.

It’s Punchy weekend for me. Super pleasant!

Getting a quick rake and mow in before the rains roll back in. Something like 14 days no rain in Nov for the PNW sets a record.

This cigar + fresh cut grass + Fall was pretty aromatically awesome.

When I actually pull one of these from the box that is smokable, they’re fantastic. Salty, creamy, a little white pepper on the retrohale. Mild to medium in strength.

Partagás Serie D No.6 RAE Dic 2014

Often I reach the end of the box of cigars and either I usually have another ordered and in my humidor (or one the way) or I intend to order another one as soon as possible. With the Partagas Serie D No.6, I don't intend to order another box anytime soon, but I still enjoyed them. The reason is simple, I had them all in a three to five year window and I'd rather not order a box and wait that long to smoke them when I have other smaller-sized cigars to explore and delight in.

This was just under medium, full of sourdough, coffee and leather but no real pepper (or spice). It was a great smoke for half an hour. Perhaps now it's time to see how my Partagas Shorts 50 Cab from 2015 is coming along?

Quick afternoon smoke in my 40*F garage.  Not a bad smoke at all – really.  But for some reason I was wishing the whole time it was a BPC or Monte No.4 in my hands.

Wow, only had one of these. Absolutely fantastic.

I did! I purchased 40 while in Cuba last year and have been smoking 1 about every 3 months or so. I have an assortment of sizes.

What do you mean by “actually smokable” bad flavor, bad burn ??

Sorry, should’ve been more specific. Many of the cigars in the box are rolled so tight you can’t get ANY air to draw through them. I have to butcher them with a perfecdraw to get even a small airway worked through the cigar.

AUM MAY 12 Monte Especiales #2 paired with a bottle of Southern Tier 2XMas Christmas Ale. Hope everyone had a good rest of the weekend!

Juan López Selección No.2 MEL Dic 2016
I acquired this box around the turn of the New Year in 2019, had four and liked none, the most recent being in February, May and July this year, and figured I should give this box another try. Today's review is a testament to the wise adage that resting cigars is helpful in melding flavours and diminishing harshness or strength.
The previous Juan Lopez Seleccion No.2's mentioned above were very much dominant in toasted tobacco which didn't allow the chocolate and/or citrus characteristics to shine in those cigars. Today's cigar was all chocolate and orange from beginning to end, underscored by a coffee and oak spine. It was simply brilliant, which made me elated because I didn't figure I'd get one from the box as good as this in 2019, at least.
I can now see myself have at least a few more to see how they are around the three-year mark in December this year.

I have the same box code and same experience as you. I was ready to toss the box, they were ugly and all burnt tobacco. Last few I had were enjoyable.
