FOH'ers Daily Smoke

[SigmundChurchill]

Esmeralda

BRC

Topes

I actually smoked a Media Luna today too, but forgot to take a picture of it.  I think this is the first time I have smoked all 3 new Trinidads in one day.  But it made for a very good day, so I dont think it will be the last.

@Wookie I see you there. Here’s an ESL MAY 18 Romeo Churchill. This is a great box: HQ from our host. Starts off mild and sweet, builds depth until it’s a #4 in the last third. Cherry and rose petal pleasure.

They were my favorites in the mid-late 1990s. They went downhill in the 2000s, IMHO. My oldest box is 2015, which isn't good. But everything I've got from 2017 onward brings a smile to my face. Couldn't agree more...cherries and rose petals. Simply divine. Cheers!

@SigmundChurchill, you have a greater chance of contracting something bad from that golf glove than in your hospital! You gotta get a new one that fits properly!

Good morning

Partagas shorts! MSU Jun 17. I think these could use a little more age, but definitely better then when they were new! Very tasty and sweet! What do you guys think, is this a Rosado wrapper, or just brown? I feel like its kind of red, but I'm not an expert lol.

To my mind, that wrapper on a Partagas cigar is what I'd define as being rosado-shaded.

Well thats cool! I've got 9 more left from the box and they all look about the same. Im going to give them another year or two of age I think.

They dont make any that fit properly.  I have tried them all.  I guess I have abnormally shaped hands.?

Agree with you and @RDB smoked a young one yesterday that was absolutely great. Sir Winston tonight is just showing off though.

The governor of NJ gave the OK for foursomes again, so that freed up a bunch of spots on the tee sheet.

Whats up with the purple ash glow? Is that just the color it made when held against the light?

Question Mr. Churchill; the Esmeralda and the Media Luna are newer cigars. How are they tasting at this early stage? TIA.

I consider the Topes to be new as well, since it doesn’t taste anything like the Tope EL.

But in answer to your question, They are excellent.  They do have some rough edges that will smooth out with time, but not enough to keep me from smoking them young.
