Keep in mind the child was also placed in the box several months before he was born

So I've been hoarding Dip2s lately like its my job! Really like them. Anyway. Today I realized I had an interesting photo op. I didn't have an HQ before today, but just obtained a few recently. Pictured below left to right is (all from our host) PE from EML DIC14, Seconds/PE from TOS Nov15 (thank you extremely hungover host!), HQ from TOS DIC15, PSP from TOS NOV15, and (presumably PSP) Singles purchase (thank you Greg!) TOS NOV15. Just thought it was pretty cool to put together and see difference side by side.

'01 Clásicos. The beginning of what turned out to be one of my best cigars of this year. (I'll see if I can jot down a brief review)

Just perfection!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

SLR Serie A. Purchased as a group of singles a year and a half ago, so unknown code and date. Starting off medium. Picking up sweetness, cherries, toast, some salt. Floral. Silky smooth, creamy. Perfect draw. Full smoke output. Razor sharp burn.

Monte #2; ULA Oct 14. A much appreciated gift from my good friend and BOTL Pharmacovigilant! Draw was perfect. There was sweet cedar & a little earth on cold draw. Both notes enhanced on initial fire...and persisted/built through the whole of the stick. Brief milk chocolate & biscuit in middle 1/3d, a hint of floral (not particularly prominent) came in about midway and endured till the end. No pepper. Just a little spice & silky smooth right on through. Volumes of creamy smoke! The burn was a little wonky at times but easy to look past that! Mostly self corrected...did need a touch up or two but, I'll live! Nubbed it without even a hint of bitterness. 75-80 minutes of bliss!

KL got some good new deals...

A recent smoke, of which I thought I'd jot down a few unsorted lines to share, although I smoked this one without a review in mind and didn't take detailed notes. So, this is rather from memory. The Clásicos - despite bearing a name exuding class and elegance having never really become popular in its rather short life - has always been a favourite of mine (for me, the best of the line, together with the DA). And when they were announced to be disced a few years ago, I bought up what felt like the remaining stock off all suppliers I could get my hands on. However, this stick here comes from an older box, from '01. This box had been consistently good to great, and although stemming from the 'difficult' period, never incurred any construction issues whatsoever. As the young Marca had still been rather new at that time, perhaps they were yet putting a bit more care and effort into its making. But that's just a theory. Tobacco quality had always been above reproach for that period and Vitola as to my experience. This particular stick presented itself as being preserved in perfect condition under my TLC. Nice, smooth and supple hazelnutty-brown wrapper with a very slight hue of red. Not oily, but still displaying some matte, silky sheen. After cutting - a perfect draw, with a noticeable, not too firm resistance, just how I like it. Off the box, the 15-year old came with this characteristic smell that Ken would so aptly describe as "Old lady's handbag" (always pleasing to me, while surprisingly unpleasing to my female family members). After a while in the open, this smell made a wonderful and miraculous transition into a sort of fruity vanilla note, with hints of anise or fennel (with that ever so slight liquorice tone) and alder wood. Interesting, to say the least! After firing up, the cigar started remarkably tannic and slightly bitter in the first draws. Actually, for me, usually not a bad sign, as this was showing it was still lively. Not that I was expecting different, since the previous ones from that box had been on a steady upswing and had always been indicative of a good aging potential. In the following, the cigar turned out to slowly evolve into a truly remarkable smoke. Even better than what I had in memory, with a unique aromatic profile. The tannic notes disappeared after about half an inch in (or I got used to it by then), and then there remained a taste, as banal as it might sound, of plain, gracefully aged tobacco. Yes, simple as that - tobacco! But still special and unique and hard to describe. No pronounced flavours of chocolate, no nuts, no honey, no stonefruit or the like: Tobacco, in all its fine complexity. Actually, that very taste and the reason for why we all are smoking. From the foot there was emanating this everlasting note of vanilla and fennel, that had already been present in the cold aroma of the wrapper. So great and so pleasing. Just mesmerizing. I attribute that in part to the fine wrapper from one of the best Vegas. The cigar developed nicely, with a good smoke volume and excellent burn. Without thinking too much about it, I was simply enjoying it. So much, that I didn't care about taking notes or being analytic about it. In restrospect, there were always transitions back and forth with slight floral and herbal, some more distinct Assam notes - again and in itself a complex flavour - and perhaps some woody notes on top of that pronounced tobacco taste, of which I'd be hard pushed to pinpoint to a certain specific aroma or flavour. The compexity was so great, the aroma components so nicely interwoven, that it was impossible for me to dissect and cast in words what I was tasting. All I can say is, it was fantastic! About midway into the second third, the smoke volume became a little muted. The taste, however, was always there and even intensified. But it seemed as if the smoke just wasn't so 'visible' anymore. You taste it, but you don't really see it. Having started outdoors, I now moved inside, as I was keen to see how the room note of this cigar would be like: Just. So. Great. The room soon smelled of what I tasted, with that slight vanilla-fennel note on top, but with a certain leathery hue (was it really leather? again, I can't really say...), a hue that got completely lost outdoors. I stayed in the house for about an hour before moving out again for ending the stick. In the last bit, I had to slightly correct the burn, but the cigar always stayed in great form. As usual, becoming a bit stronger, more intense, with more dark notes added towards the end with the concentration of condensates. But still velvety, with notes of fresh ground coffee and walnut (perhaps?) appearing. Delish till the end. Smoked it almost to the nub, and eventually sat there feeling left with complete satisfaction! When I finally checked the time I was amazed to realize how slow I had smoked that stick: This cigar took me on a continuous 130 min (!) journey into great Cuban tobacco artistry. During the whole time it had been interesting and entertaining, not for a second been boring. Final thought This was a prime example of what the Cubans are being capable of, and what proper aging can do to a stick when the quality is there. This one surely hadn't reached it's "expiry" date yet, and I am happy to know that I am still in hold of another untouched box of the same code. Having slowly smoked through this box over the years confirms once again to me that there is a distinctive difference between a six, seven years aged stick and a 15-year old or older one. There were aroma notes and a complexity that hasn't been there before, and which you'll never find in a freshy. Beyond that, it was another bright proof for the fact that it doesn't need double bands or 'exclusive' pricing for making an exceptional cigar. Too sad, and what a big, big shame again, for HSA killing such a wonderful cigar in its teenage years from its portfolio. Cheers, Goo

I brought a handful of these to work with me to test them out. Had a few of them so far. This is second last one I have with me. I have nothing to compare this to. I usually don't like cigars of this vintage. Draw is tighter than I prefer. The cigar is mild. Flavours are very much mixed together. Nothing too distinct. You can taste where a bit of chocolate probably once was. Smooth through the nose. Nothing wrong with it. Just nothing that makes this cigar stand out. It's Sunday. I'm having half the day off. Stuff it [emoji23] perfect day here. Not too humid. Sitting in my smoking room trying to master the art of blowing smoke rings. Failing miserably [emoji20] The second third progresses into a sweeter profile. Still nothing to write home about. The monkeys are coming back into my backyard. They go away for a bit when the rains come in as there's plenty of water out there. But after it dries out a bit they come straight back to my backyard for the water and trees. It's interesting watching the young ones learn how to do what monkeys do. The younger ones eat all the unripe fruit from the mango trees. Bastards. They take one bite and then realise they can't eat it and throw it down. Takes them a while to learn from their mistake [emoji23] Cigar continues on. Nothing to report. Mild. It's nice. I'll happily smoke them. But nothing sensational. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

another basic just with the tasting notes I had tad firm, slightly box pressed. Salty, spicy pre light. Light milk chocolate. Smooth. Hard to believe its age. Very mild with hint of vanilla. Bit of spice (nutmeg?) Darker chocolate. Falling leaves in autumn. Like walking in a wet floored forest. Sweetness comes to it. Tea and bread. Then raw nuts comes in. Coffee and spice. Cocoa or dark choc chips. Chilli chocolate and a bit of orange peel. Then a few unpleasant puffs. Don´t know what it is. Gone, yehaw. Nutty, spicy and a surprisingly huge and well defined honey ride. Wow! It was complex and very well balanced. Fantastic. 2hr 30mins

How 'bout some Dress Box Pr0n before we get started? I'd just ordered a new box for my Dad which just arrived so I thought I'd do a little Dress Box comparison. His is ETP ENE 16 and mine, POS MAY 07. In the Box photos, ETP ENE 16 is either on the top or on the left. Thought a little visual comparison would be fun. I smoke the 07, Dad smoked the 16. Unfortunately I didn't get his tasting notes other than he was pleased with the cigar down until the beginning of the final 3rd. He put his out quote a bit before I did. Not much difference in the look of the box save the placement of the green warranty and hologram. looks like the Habano's ribbon across the upper right hand corner has more text to the upper right on the '16 box which is missing from '07. I didn't notice that until I looked at the photos. Inside of the box is almost identical to my eye (there's a little more light on the '16 box illuminating the gold embossment, but they looked the same). Looks like a little difference in Simon Bolivar's face and breast. ... ('16 on right, '07 on left) Interesting the underside orientation is flipped. Almost impossible to read the box code on the '07, I had to do some digging to figure out what it was, looks like PD8 but is POS according to this post ( Thanks @CaptainQuintero!) : The sticks are beauties! The '07 wrappers aren't quite as dark/oily or consistent as the '16 but it's hard to tell from the photo. I was also surprised by the difference in the Labels. '07 labels are larger, but '16 labels are crisper. 1st Third: Cream right out of the gate, full strength right up front. Love that. Coffee coffee coffee. Hints of 90% Cacao Chocolate, floral smoke, espresso, I want to chew it, cut it like a cheese cake and let it melt in my mouth. What's in the Glass you might ask? Why that would be Ardbeg 10 year. Simple, sweet and smokey. Love me some smokey Scotch? Finished off this bottle cuz it asked me to. I like using stemless wine glasses for whiskey. Yeah I have all this fancy Tulip, Glencairn, blah blah blah glasses. Sometimes it's just about the feel in your hand. 2nd Third: Still heavy coffee and cream although the cream is subsided slightly, ammonia for a second, terrified it's about to go south. I slow down, blow through the cigar and let it rest. Coconut creme, a bit of Montecristo creme but full strength. Ammonia is back again, light and tolerable, sweet pipe tobacco. Final Third: Unfortunately the ammonia picks up a bit. This cigars throttle is WFO. Picked up a little peanut as the creme subsides. I make it to early final third before It's time to but it down for the long sleep. Enjoyable smoke, glad I have a few left. Looking back, I may have smoked it a little too fast which contributed to the ammonia toward the end. Perhaps I was enjoying it a bit too much ;-) - Not overly complex, yet hits the spot. Great cigar. Cheers Gents! -Ether

Good review!

a greasy wrappered Epi2.

01 Familiar

Cohiba Reserva Piramides (2003) So smoooooth.

Yeah the optics are not good. iPhone camera. I agree with you on what you're saying and I think the picture illustrates it pretty well because there's a lighter shade (HQ) wrapper tossed in the mix. In my somewhat limited experience I don't believe I've ever seen an extremely dark wrapper on Dip2s up until the TOS Nov15 popped up. I am still convinced the wrappers on these are from the same tobacco as the Bushidos rolled around that time. They are very similar when you put them side by side. Likely the binder and filler are different, but the wrappers are almost identical. Smoking them will be the ultimate test. I'll let you know how that goes in a few months.

And me neither but I have often observed the opposite effect; remember the trand for porcelain jars in the late 90's and early 2000's? People used jars to give a shiny, glossy, greasy look to the cigars, and it worked. There was a price to pay: the risk of getting over-humidified cigars… I have a Piedra metallic jar with a small humidification device (foam), and it transforms the ugliest driest Piedra/Quintero wrapper in a premium oily wrapper grown in Robaina's farm within a week…

All I can comment on the OPs post right now, is that I'd indeed be concerned about such a sudden change of a stick's appearence in such a short period of time (1 month if I get that right) under his particular conditions. This is indicating "change" and sudden transition, which never is a good sign. What you are looking for in storage is stability. I wouldn't have a clearcut answer to that observation, other than that perhaps his conditions are not very stable (perhaps cycling with rather large amplitudes), which is not being reflected by his monitoring instruments. I'd suspect this to be playing a more important role in this observation than the level of his absolute (average) conditions. And OP ist currently storing more on the higher rH-side (edit: was meant to read...) moisture-side anyway. I have never observed such, even after years of storage (you may have a look at the review section in a minute for an example), other than sticks gradually, i.e. over years, losing some or all of their original sheen and undergoing a little shrinking. But always nothing too obvious and never within a few weeks.

A majority of smokers taste with their eyes... hence the price grading based on visual appearance

Im around 70-72F yearly. Rarely goes up to 74F. Never seen a damn beetle in a decade. (Not even freezing my boxes) just sayin

One thing to keep in mind. Your personal preferences. I know Piggy has a few storage units full of old RH/Temp experiments, and old "experimental" wineadors that weren't perfect for him. He has found (or is still inching closer to) his ideal. HIS (or anybody else's) ideal may not be YOUR ideal. Store them however you want, within a reasonable range, in an attempt to ensure your cigars are enjoyable for you. Your wineador is for keeping your cigars perfectly smokable for you, not for spending extra time, money and stress trying to keep at somebody else's calculated "perfect"

Excellent Barolo

I have an untouched box of these (same box code) that will be napping for about 3-5 more years.

Well, this review didn't quite go to plan, but here it is anyway. I'm a big fan of the small cigar and BCJs come a close second to Monte 5s in my rotation. Having set aside an hour I took the BCJ from the desktop, taking in the surprisingly strong barnyard aroma as I headed to the garden. Lit it up and the heavy peaty tobacco flavour boded well. At this point I was hijacked and it was suggested that seeing as I was in the garden anyway I might as well get on with the pond. Project Garden strikes again... This is usually Quintero Favorito territory but the BCJ was a grand replacement. The moving of rocks, digging out placements and not falling in meant that my mind wasn't totally on the cigar. As I worked on I thoroughly enjoyed the depth of flavours coming through - earth, chocolate, cream. Hints of spice seemed to alternate with the cream through the second third, coming and going on each pull. I had to relight at one point having dealt with a particularly awkwardly shaped rock and an argument about the placement of my small rock from Scafell Pike (which I won). The final third, after the relight, came on strong and spicey - espresso mixed with pepper (might work?) and I laid down the trowel to thoroughly nub it. Great little cigar, strong enough to work well outdoors, which is sort of what I look for as I spend so much of my time avoiding being indoors. Might just have to have another one, properly, tomorrow. And the little pond looks good too.

Had a couple from an HQ box of ULA AGO 14 which have been excellent -- classic Cohiba profile, refined but still young for Cohiba -- but in a larger format which affords a sense of occasion. Love 'em, will be smoking 1 a year for a while!

Review: La Escepcion Coronas Extra Largas Release: 1974/75 Release Vitola: Lonsdale 44RG by 7.7inch Production: Regular. Discontinued 1970’s Box Code: UNK. Stamped 9/75 by tobacconist on underside. Paired with: ice water Date: Sunday July 30, 2016 Start Time: 3:37PM EST Reviewers Notes: My style of cigar reviewing is “open”. I try to jot down what I’m experiencing with every draw. When you see a “/” consider that a break in between puffs. What I leave out in fancy prose is made up with observation. Consider each segment a play by play. This style works for me. I hope you enjoy it. Some History I bought two of these back in Montreal around 2011. They weren't the greatest looking cigars, one had two beetle holes, both seemed a bit crispy and possibly were bereft of all their oils. But at $15CAD per stick, that included the box , I couldn't resist. If even as an heirloom/showpiece. I doubted I'd ever see one of these again, let alone actually smoke one. Here it is, as is. Pre-light notes Visual: Light, milk chocolate wrapper with mottled repair patches of RACF wrapper. A good sized stick, closer to a Churchill than Lonsdale IMO. Here it is compared to the Selectos Finos. The darker patches are where I made the repairs to the beetle holes. Using donor tobacco from a horribly disfigured RACF, I ground up some of the smaller bits into dust via mortar and pestle and then filled in the beetle holes. Larger wrapper pieces were then affixed with Arabic gum. Not too pretty, but it did the job. Feel: Somewhat spongy. Took 3 years to revive from it's "crispy" state. Aroma at cold: Wrapper: light must, cedar, nutmeg Foot:pure cocoa old cedar box, 1st Third Applied medium punch, some of the wrapper below the head flaked away. Very frail cigar even after revival. Draw seems good though / Lightly toast the foot, smells like BBQ coals / good opening / slight mustiness / excellent draw hits of cedar / good hit of nutmeg and or baking spice / toasty tobacco / interesting tannic finish on the draw, like a dry red wine, similar to the grape stem / dark chocolate / nice tanginess / great burn / toasty tobacco, some baking spice / hickory like finish on the draw / wine tannins on two draws, so it has a slight bitterness to it, but not something i’d call unpleasant / bitter chocolate / nice sharp, tangy flavour / sipping this cigar as slowly as possible to catch the nuances / nice white ash / bit more dark chocolate / some vegetal notes / ash falls off easy as i place the cigar back on the rest / tannic, with slight cocoa finish / some ice water to clean the palate / sharp, bitter chocolate / some good hits of sweetness and cedar on a few draws / chocolate / toasty tobacco / vegetal notes / slight canoe developing / correct the burn, thought i hated to do so / nice creamy coffee / some ice water again / wine tannins again / dark chocolate, slightly bitter, ashy finish / sharp, tangy vegetal notes / blustery ash falls on my shirt before i can set it down / 2nd Third bitter chocolate / some very green vegetal notes which is surprising for such an old cigar / the cigar burns very cool i notice / a few deep draws helps keep the flame alive / more tannins but with a nice cedary finish / touch up- relight needed / bitter chocolate follows / more pleasant, creamy coffee flavour returns / cocoa / more cocoa / still some canoeing going on / bitter chocolate / very blustery ash / nice, smooth nutmeg draw / sweet, cedary notes / cocoa, flavours seems to be settling down / cocoa again, slightly dry finish / ice water time / coffee / chocolate with a coffee finish / yikes! Very strong, ashy flavour (dead beetle BBQ?) / quick touch up, nasty flavour gone, back to bitter chocolate / ice water to clean palate / a smooth coffee draw with a building ashy taste on the finish, not as gross, but odd / sharp tannic notes / ice water / chance of pace! Beans! Like a black bean in chili, minus the chili / shart, dark chocolate / burn corrected, nice white ash too / wine tannins return / 3rd Third hickory with a bit of char / ash falls off easy / holy crap! Tar buildup on the head? In a cigar this old? I did not expect this given that it was dry as a bone when I bought it. Going to have to guillotine the offending bit off / ice water / surgery successful, not too much damage / better draw, smoother flavour / nutmeg / cocoa / nice cocoa hits, cigar has smoothed out / maybe i shouldn't have smoked the damaged stick first? / wrapper starts to flake off and unravel i fix it with a bit of water / toasty tobacco / nice creamy coffee draw, very full bodied / more canoeing / beans again on the finish / really nice rich, tobacco flavour / touch up needed to correct burn / another tasty pull, coffee with a cedary finish / ice water / slight anise flavour / rich tobacco hit, like a spicy NC / increased smoke production / nice beany hit / cedar notes linger on the finish a bit / another spicy hit, with a strong bean finish / another good draw, cedar and cocoa, lost a bit more of wrapper though / lots of smoke, some white pepper and a nice lingering cedar finish on the tongue / ice water / beans again / peppery, cedar finish / a bit of anise with a hint of sweetness at the end / lots of smoke still / cedar seems to linger on the tongue / very rich cedar hit / a quick touch up to keep things inline / nubbing this for sure / more beans and cedar / this last third is really shining which i kind of expected/hoped (will explain more later) / mouthful of cedar / tangy tobacco / cigar has heated up / tangy tobacco / sipping cigar now / cedar returns / oily draw, full of toasty tobacco / nubbing now / beany hit / removed band, cigar splinters a bit / cedary draw / last puffs, some good old cedar with a nice peppery finish / FIN Done @ 5:22 EST Conclusions After many long years of trying to revive these two samples, I was finally able to smoke one. This one I call "the ugly one". Having smoked this, maybe the better one will get a long stay of execution? I didn't know what to expect with this cigar. Given that it was dry and that almost all of its' oils bled into the cellophane over the decades, I wasn't sure there would be much to taste. Much to my surprise and delight, the revival process showed some promise over time in that there was still a very pleasant aroma from the wrapper and foot of these cigars. That I was able to get as much flavour and enjoyment out of it at all is a miracle. I've been pretty fanatic about the Selectos Finos when they came out, so being able to go back in time with this cigar was a joy. Of course, I have zero idea on how these smoked fresh. From what I've read, the marca was on the very strong side and lost it's following over time. While this cigar was no powerhouse compared to the Selectos Finos and Don Jose, I could "sense" that it may have been there originally given that it still was a decent, medium bodied smoke after so many decades of rest. There's a belief that strong blends survive well over time. That may be the case with this particular release. I was expecting the complexity of a dusty, rolled up newspaper. What I experienced was far better than I hoped. Smoking this was a relaxing trip back in time. Outside of a couple of really harsh tasting draws, this was an experience well worth the wait. Thanks for reading. BW Bonus Pics.

Always wanted to sharpen my own knives but never had the courage to do it myself for fear of ruining expensive knives. I take my knives to Korin in NYC and they do an amazing job even though its more expensive than I would like.

'Maybe my better bet is seeking out the 12 year old bottle of scotch in 2021 or 18 year old bottle in 2027 ' you could take a vacation to Zurich now for what that bottle will cost in 2027................. 2009 boxes are still around and not too steep,look around.............. OR,,,,,,,,,,get a box of the Pacific Regionals. They seem to have the legs to be something special in that time frame.

Every cigar has a peak I suppose. Figuring out what that is proves difficult many times. I personally believe modern CCs peak at about 5-10 years VERY generally speaking. That being said, 18 years won't kill a cigar. It may not be at it's absolute peak anymore, but it will be fine, and if kept properly, should still be good if it was good ROTT. I would sell most boxes I was invested in within that 5-10 year window, but for a child's birth year, go for it. As for whisky, once the whisky is bottled the "aging process" ceases. A 12-year-old whisky will still be a 12-year-old whisky in 100 years. So buying a whisky with the birth year of a child makes sense as it should taste the same in 18 years as it does now. Cigars change just lying around. Whisky shouldn't.

(Smoked Monday night, and made notes for it) Cut it, check it, too lose. No, not today, not for the review. Back to the box. Cut the next, slightly firm. This will make it. Cedar, leather, sweetness and citrus peel. What a start. Full of flavour, medium body. Spice comes in here and there. Already complex but balanced very well. Could have more smoke output, but remember it is a bit firm. Massive ash. Shift to med-full. Earth. Deep and rich tobacco. Citrus peel still in the background but not constant. Tons of spice and sweetness are dancing on my palate. Opened up and lots of smoke output now. Quite creamy texture. Getting fuller. A bit of perfume but really pleasant. Everything is present now and fully on. Citrus peel, cedar, sweetness, spices, earthyness, red pepper, dark chocolate. Strenght. Depth. Richness. Balance. Absolutely gorgeous.

Nice short review, thanks!

It sounds like they froze his account for being an idiot. Or the story is completely fake. Why in the world would you put "Payment for a Cuban Cigar" in the paypal description? And why would you use paypal (and pay a fee) to pay your friend back for a single cigar? Did Ryan Lochte write this?

A few goodies from my wife for my birthday last weekend. She said the theme was "petites". Not sure what she was implying with that . . . . Boxes of HDM Petite Robustos, R&J Petite Churchill and some Party Shorts. Plus a little Irish Whiskey to sip while I smoke.
