FOH'ers Daily Smoke

[Islandboy]

898 on a Friday night. What a perfect vitola, hard to imagine it fading away. Happy Aloha Friday!

[Bijan]

Hoyo epi 1

Some fruit maybe raspberry @Kaptain Karl.

With wood and cream. But not the good quality cream but the kind of fake/ersatz cream in Fonsecas or Palmas Extra (lacked the creamy texture/mouth feel). Probably needs more aging. Was heavyweight and didn't use perfecdraw until quite late so draw was too tight. I'm going to smoke another one and let the rest sit for a while.

First outdoor session in the Year of the Ox. It’s gonna be an Oxsome year?

Very very good and I usually smoke very little from this Marca. Prada

I spent a few days there mountain biking...right about 11 years ago. Amazing experience. 

There’s definitely something magical about that area.  I’ve been there 3 times, but always just passing through and on day trips.   I keep telling myself that one of these days I’ll get a hotel room and stay for a few days.

First terrace cigar in 2021. Sunny and 17C. Nice and nice to see some jet contrails in the sky again.

This old photo popped up on my apple feed today.  This was today's smoke, exactly 11 years ago.  Me and some other guys were riding Harleys through the Arizona desert, and we stopped here for a cigar.  

If only I had the foresight to have bought a few more boxes.

 

Great picture. Brings back memories of my Harley ride starting out in the mountains of Flagstaff with snow still on the sides of the road then passing through the red rocks of Sedona then down to the Prescott Valley where it was 80 something degrees. Such an incredible amount of nature's variety and beauty over the course of single day ride. Now I'm thinking how much better it would have been with a Siglo VI pitstop. I think it might be time for me to plan another ride.

Completely agree with you with the cream. That flavor was very milk like instead of heavy cream. Mine have the darkest wrappers I’ve seen on a Epicure 1, which is why I think the first 2 I smoked were so heavy on that fantastic cocoa/berry profile. The last one I smoked had a bit lighter of a wrapper and consequently had far less cocoa/berry. Part of me wants to age these for 5 more years to see how amazing they’ll get, the other part knows that’ll be impossible if that cocoa/raspberry flavor keeps showing itself in spades!

Big harvest day today. I almost ran out of cigars but suddenly I found my sugar brother!

RyJ ex 4. Aug 18. Been some discussion on these lately so dug one out. Glad I did. These smoke well above their price point IMHO.  And the odd thing is I don’t like a lot of this Marca

That was about the year I found me some boxes of the Charlottes at Melia Habana ... only to pass them to my best buddy as his daughter is named Charlotte and he asked me ... ?
Oh well...

Solid BRE NOV 18 Connie 1. First third was spectacular, the rest was good!

I have the same ABO Ago 18 box code you have and mine have been excellent too.

So good to hear, as your H.Upmann Connoisseur No.1 is from the notorious last quarter (Oct to Dec) of 2018, i.e prone to contain unfermented leaf. As you know, I have a box from this period and I'm glad we've both 'dodged a bullet', so-to-speak.

I've enjoyed the Best Western Arroy Robles a couple times with my wife.  It's on the edge of town and they have rooms with private balconies and beautiful red rock views.  One of the better settings I've enjoyed a cigar.

SOM-DIC-16 RG88: Way better than most people have said.  Nutty and floral with perfect construction/draw. 

You know, I had a good one of these last week too. Most of the box have been really bland, but this one was fragrant and enjoyable even if very mild - and construction was perfect.

Im with you both.  Always glad to see good experiences on the BRE NOV 18.  I’ve had a couple that were very good

C&C time!
‘18 Monte Petit Tubo, just recently received this box.  Really nice. Great cocoa notes from first puff.
