I’m about a third into this box and very consistent. Construction perfecto. I actually nubbed this one which I rarely do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted December 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2019 La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'Or No.4 MSU Jun 2017 I had two straight from the box (or in colloquial terms, as we enthusiasts like to call it, 'right-off-the-truck') three months ago and they were both great, so why not have another? Why not indeed! Last time I got beautiful notes of almond nut, fruit and spice in the first third, like smoking a date slice. The second third had a hint of cream until the wood took over and the last third was dry wood and white pepper until the end. This had no hint of almond nut or creamy texture. In fact, I found it quite 'toasty' in texture by contrast. When LGC 4's are like this I find them more woody or herbal in nature, as this cigar was. There was also copious amounts of white pepper and it was still fruity, only less so than my last one smoked three months ago. In conclusion, give me a La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'Or No.4 that is full of almond nut, creaminess and fruit or date flavours and I'll be in heaven smoking it, give me one more akin to this drier, toasty, wood and herbal offering and I'll still respect it for what it is...a complex long-and-skinny representing the last regular production vitola in the La Gloria Cubana marca. Long may it be so! 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of several exciting cigars for my Christmas lineup. '14 VR Short Robaina ER Mid? '18 HdM Epi2 Got two 6ers from FOH and forgot about them for a while. Was a little disappointed because they seemed dry, thin wrappers, and absolutely no smell. Well this is a Christmas surprise! From the first puff, marshmallows, and still marshmallows getting into the 2/3. A different Epi2 from what I'm used to. Gonna let the rest sleep some more! 26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted December 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2019 El Rey del Mundo Choix Suprême MLU Nov 2018 El Rey del Mundo, which means 'The King of the World' in Spanish, was once considered the premium marca of Habanos cigars in the mid-20th century, much like Cohiba is considered the premium Habanos marca today. Indeed, in the 1940's and 1950's, El Rey del Mundo had gained a reputation for prestige, excellence and a higher price tag. After the Revolution, the brand was still considered 'high-end', even into the 1970's. In the 1980's and 1990's trends changed, favouring stronger cigars and sadly lowering the opinion of El Rey del Mundo cigars as being 'too mild', even (incorrectly, in my opinion) more suitable for beginners. This El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme (and please do kindly pronounce choix like the French - shwa and not choy!) was picked up in a 24:24 quarter pack offering of light-wrappered PSP ERdM CS' in April this year. I smoked my first one in June and my second one in October. The first one was superb, the second one had construction issues. Today's example was a glorious return to form, so-to-speak. Simply put, this Hermosos No.4-sized cigar (48 ring gauge x 127 mm or 5 inches in length) had a wonderful aroma, was full of mild, sweet flavours and made me pine for a time when the El Rey del Mundo marca was more extensive and well-known. How else could one categorise the candied almond nut, shortbread, honey and citrus delicacies which delighted me from beginning to end? At just 12 months of age, I am genuinely surprised how approachable this was for an ERdM cigar. The brand is reputed for benefiting from long-term aging and perhaps this was a major factor in its decline in popularity. However, after smoking this Choix Supreme today, I have to ask why I don't smoke El Rey del Mundo cigars more often? The answer may lie in the fact that there are only two regular production offerings left, the Choix Supreme and the diminutive Demi Tasse, but isn't it just great that PCC brought out a Tainos Churchill-sized cigar for its Asia-Pacific Regional Edition recently? 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
