Popular Post JohnS Posted December 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2019 Montecristo No.2 PMS Abr 2015 I had a light-wrappered Montecristo No.2 about a week ago so I figured I should compare how my darker-wrappered Montecristo No.2's were coming along. The last one I had was a bit pungent for my liking, despite being over four years old! This was more towards medium in strength and body. It was much stronger in cocoa and coffee flavours than my light-wrappered Monte No.2 last week, although it had no leather or nut to it and cream was minimal. What it did have was a hint of that Montecristo citrus twang which I quite adore, but alas, it was only a hint, in comparison last week's sample was more citrus-laden. Overall, this was quite a pleasure to smoke over 90 to 100 minutes whilst watching a two-hour documentary on the history of Rolling Stone magazine. I'm sure Hunter S. Thompson would have most definitely approved! 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the box code? You guys are killing me by smoking those H.Upmann Mag 56 EL 2015 because I have two full boxes of these and promised myself I would not smoke one until that are 5 years old.

Popular Post JohnS Posted December 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2019 San Cristóbal de la Habana El Príncipe TOS Jun 2016 I've almost gone through half this box this year in 2019 and I think the last two have been almost the same in terms of taste. At around three-and-a-half years in age, these last two have been quite strong in what fans of the San Cristobal de La Habana El Principe commonly refer to as 'pancake' flavour. Before this, I found the cocoa and coffee combination more dominant. In general, darker-wrappered El Principes tend to have more spice and cocoa/coffee for me, the lighter-wrappered ones tend to be more sweeter, more molasses and now (at this stage) more likely to have that pancake texture. It wouldn't surprise you to know that I favour these light-wrappered and smoking like pancakes. I don't think this box will see out five years, I envisage they'd be consumed by then if the last two El Principes from the box is anything to go by! 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prez is on fire....this one was solid medium, classic coffee and burnt toffee. Perfect burn and construction. Awesome. And much better than my 2014 box of Winnies. Gotta try them again....they are too light-bodied. 2017 Vigia 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
