maalouly Posted October 5, 2011 Author Posted October 5, 2011 Aw fiddlesticks! A school night again?! You know you love being bad on a school night, I shall see you there!
Fuzz Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 You know you love being bad on a school night, I shall see you there! Oh alright. You'll probably pike by 11pm anyways!
Rexyboy Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 I'll be there with bells on. See you all there. Mitch
Colt45 Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 The Figurados, eh? Pointy heads like piramides? Twisted like culebras? Fat in the middle and skinny on the top and bottom like a certain grape stomper perfectos? Sounds like a great time!
laficion Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Sounds like a great evening indeed Elie, I'm sure you'll all have a blast.
maalouly Posted October 6, 2011 Author Posted October 6, 2011 Cheers guys, Sydney people, there are few seats left, DM me for your seats. Regards, Elie.
khamy Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 I'm gutted that i can't make this one. The line up looks absolutely fantastic.
jay8354 Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 A big thanks to Ellie, Max and Ken (and whoever else I forgot) for starting this club. It was a great night to be had by all and meeting with new friends and catching up with older ones. Wonderful dinner with 2 superb cigars, Rum was good too. Hoping the next gathering to be even bigger and better.
Fuzz Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Agreed, it was a good night. Kudos to the guys who organised the event. The Upmann Connie 1, while well constructed and initially showed some promise, didn't grab me after the halfway mark. Though it did set up my tastebuds for the star attraction... a Partagas 898! Partargas 898 (box code unknown, year was 2008 or 2009): Construction: Well made, no hard spots Wrapper: Smooth, no large veins, slight oily sheen Shade: Colorado Pre-light Draw: On the easy side of firm, hints of spice, leather and clean tobacco 1st Third: Opens with a blast of white pepper and spice. A bit earthy with hints of leather coming into the 2nd third. Medium bodied with a nice volume of smoke. 2nd Third: Pepper easing off and developing more earthiness and leather. Becoming more full bodied. Maybe it was the combination of rum, nearing the end of the 2nd third, starting to geta lovely headspin. Final Third: After a quick purge, pepper and spice back on again with an undercurrent of leather. Definitely becoming more full-bodied. Laid down with an inch and a half to go as it is becoming hot and a little acrid. Overall a fantastic cigar that deserves a space in your humidor!
El Presidente Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Well done to Elie and all the Fugurados I hope to be able to attend one in the not too distant future.
Rexyboy Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Gents, Thanks for a great evening. I have thoroughly enjoyed both events and reckon we've just about got a roll on. A couple of photos from the evening as promised (although belated). BTW: Loved the 898. What a monster. Mitch.
maalouly Posted October 17, 2011 Author Posted October 17, 2011 It was a top night, thank you for everyone who attended, we started with 15, this one had 17 and I reckon the next one will have 20. People like Mitch, Kent, Jason, Marcel and fuzz make the experience even more memorable, thank you for all your support gents. Look forward to our next one, 2nd Tuesday of November. Cheers, Elie.
