Partagas Culebras

Old crook!  Never had one. Looks like a major construction issue from a hungover roller's first day on the job!😂

My experience has been opposite. Smoked probably 30 or so and never had a tight draw.

That’s awesome! What was the youngest you’ve smoked? I think a lot of it is Cuba being Cuba.  I love the vitola and Cohiba flavors, but just haven’t had good luck on the construction with them. Albeit, haven’t smoked more than 10, but im sure they were just duds and part of poorly rolled batches.

These are on 🔥🔥 right now. I have several boxes with the same code and they’re firing on all cylinders.

Needed to kill some time in San Francisco today while awaiting the servicing on my boats engines to be done. Snuck into the Occidental Cigar Club which is an awesome little dive cigar bar.

How do edmundos evolve when they are at that age?

I can’t say I’ve had any experience on fresher versions. Only have had from this 08 box so far for this vitola. Can tell you on this one that it was super buttery shortbread like with light coffee notes. Super smooth from start to finish and never above medium in body throughout

Very nice. Where's cocktail place at? Looks like that restaurant on the beach on Lantau? 

Mint & Basil in Tung Chung mate.

Esmeralda last evening with a few ales

A PC from 1980. Surprised at the strength in it

Yesterday and today:

Hoyos du député.

Siglo III.

PLPC from @Edicion ROTT. Got some caramel in the first third. But some bite or mint for the rest. Not as sweet a caramel as the first PLMC I had, never had that since. Amazing construction and burn. I've got two more that I'm going to rest until the end of the summer and see how that goes.

2008 RG Coronas Extra. Floral/lavender, a tiny bit of earth at first, some cocoa at times.

Colonialies TLU - may 2020 tough one to get through

Got gifted this Partagas Anejado from @mt1 last night at our weekly game.  Wow what a spectacular smoke..Lots of floralness with cedar and pepper , quite creamy, no hard edges.  So pleasant.  Thanks again and looking forward to our next game! Whether I am winning or losing, it's always a pleasure to spend Friday evenings with other cigar guys!

REG OCT 18 is the youngest I've smoked on the CCEs. And I totally agree on the no.4. Just quintessential cuban essence imho.

Starting off the day with a CPE.

A few from the last 2 weeks.  Started a new consulting job which is keeping me pretty busy and away from Florida (I was 21 pages behind on the FOH's Daily Smoke this morning - Ha).  It's in Montgomery County in MD -- They have an ordinance that you can't smoke outside at any business, hotel, apartment complex or even a public bench in a park.  Found a small cigar bar with a great bunch of guys a mile away - yeah!  Only down side is I can't bring in any of my cubans - that's ok - glad to support any small business that allows me to smoke a good cigar with great bunch of guys.  The Aston VSG was pretty good - or maybe it was just the conversation and only cigar of the week that helped it along!

With socks like @Bijan

Mine are just old shoes with the back folded/collapsed 😁

I'm not blowing cigar money on those fancy Crocs 😂🤣😂

At my local b&m. Too damn hot outside. Disappointing E2. Just straight tobacco and nothing else. It’s as if the whole thing is volado. Actually I may dissect one from my box to see if there is different leaf or not. They have all been like this.

Today would gave been my father's 87th birthday. I paid a visit and had a smoke with him. Ripose in pace pappa. 

CLE OCT 02 Cohiba Lancero.  Simply exquisite from the start.

My first Fundi!   I was very lucky to have sourced a 2016 after reading all the glowing reports.  I just received it in April though, ...then had to wait the 60 days prescribed by all the experts here

Tough wait, but worth it.  Now into the 2nd third (30 mins after I took the pic):  soft power, progressing subtly throughout, almost like an excellent Scotch (though I stuck with a Kolsh beer given the early hour).  Great retros.

Now I really wish I'd been lucky on last Thursday's 24:24 -- though congrats to those who were!  No doubt you will be posting some love about these yourselves in a couple of months.

HU no 2. GEM ABR 20. Spectacular smoke!

Bpc for supper tonight. Just a tad loose on the draw.but burning like a champ.

[karp]

Cohiba robusto from the Christmas sampler. Excellent. Smooth and subtle. Honey and a touch of nuttiness. I can see why these are popular.
