yadegari6 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 10 minutes ago, Bijan said: This was the second one I smoked from the quarter box, and the second one I've ever smoked too. First one had coffee and leather, rather than the standard Upmann coffee and shortbread. The second one I may have overdone it on cigars before getting to, but coffee again and some twang (some other flavours I've forgotten). Pleasant enough but I'll have to smoke one or two more before I can say for sure. I don’t believe I’ve ever had one, looking forward to giving these a shot after some rest. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Fezztone Posted January 14 Popular Post Share Posted January 14 My first Esplendido (GEL JUL 20). Arrived to me Dec 18. Couldn’t wait any longer. So far so good. A tad tight on the draw and had to mend a bit of the wrapper. Thankful to have this one with more to spare. Also thankful for the San Diego weather despite CA politics. I see some some of you wearing gloves and heaters 2 ft away and admire your perseverance and thick blood! Cheers 31 Link to post Share on other sites

Gamehawker Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 1 hour ago, Kaptain Karl said: Monte 2 last night and HU2 today. Nice looking wrapper on these cigars. I prefer the golden wrapper on my H. Upmann No. 2 like the one that you are smoking. I have heard that the darker wrapper on the Montecristo No. 2 is better than a lighter wrapper. Which of these pyramids did you enjoy more? And do you know the box code of each? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Kaptain Karl Posted January 15 Popular Post Share Posted January 15 2 hours ago, lovethehaze said: Which was better ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk My palette was shot last night due to lack of sleep this week. The Monte 2 is a jun 20 and the hu2 is a may 18, the last examples I’ve had recently of the hu2 have been phenomenal while the Monte 2’s havnt had quite enough rest to be honest. I just snagged a box of Monte 2’s today so I’ll smoke another Monte 2 soon to pass better judgement since I have heavy reinforcements coming! 1 hour ago, Gamehawker said: Nice looking wrapper on these cigars.

Which of these pyramids did you enjoy more? And do you know the box code of each? Thanks I like lighter wrapper monte’s better as I think there’s more of that citrus twang, nuts and biscuit. I’m not a huge chocolate/coffee guy but when monte’s get that lighter flavor combo with the chocolate/coffee they’re freaking amazing. So far I’d say I like them equally. The ‘18 HU2 really needed 2 years. They were 85 point cigars before 2 years and now 92-93 pointers. But I think that’s indicative of much of the ‘18 production I’ve smoked through, they need more time than the 19-20 stock. HU2 is BRE MAY 18 and Monte 2 I believe is RAT JUN 20 quick funny story: I kinda gave up on my box of HU2’s and didn’t smoke one for awhile. I gave one to one of my buddies who sent me a picture smoking it in Guy Fieri’s backyard (he’s very good family friends with them) and said it was the best cigar he’s ever had. I didn’t believe him until I smoked another after almost a year hiatus and he was right, absolutely fantastic! 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post CampDelta369 Posted January 15 Popular Post Share Posted January 15 Opened up with amazing floral notes. Interesting 🤔 MSU NOV 18 These are just getting better and better. MSU was a great box code from my experience. These are some of the lighter wrapper P2s I have seen over past 3 years. 27 Link to post Share on other sites
