cottierm Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 I had my first HdM Palma Extra from a box of 2011 this afternoon, my first and probably not the last of these! I received this one a few months ago as part of a trade with Clint and, having no particular expectation concerning this cigar, I was in for a surprise! A rustic but oily colorado wrapper, excellent construction, draw and burn, long white-grey ash, very good volume of smoke. The cigar ends where it starts which means no real change of pace during the smoking process apart from a slight increase in strength in the last third. Medium to strong taste, beautiful toasted tobacco, wood and dark honey for a good hour of pure bliss! Who knows these well and can offer more information about them? They seem relatively hard to come by these days... Best, Michel
Puros Y Vino Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Great smokes. I find HDM's to be really smooth. Had a 1998 Du Dauphin two nights ago that was sweet as pie.
SurpriseMVP Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Have smoked 3 of these so far this week. Found the box deep in the cooler and forgot I had them. Wish I could find more.
cottierm Posted May 3, 2012 Author Posted May 3, 2012 Wish I had myself such a deep box than I could find stuff that I had totally forgotten about! You, lucky one! Best, Michel
cottierm Posted May 3, 2012 Author Posted May 3, 2012 And I did indeed! I replied to your PM before seeing this comment. All the best, Michel
mazolaman Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Glad you liked these Michel. I did a little review and recommendation on these a while ago, and I think all who tried them liked them. Great value.
cottierm Posted May 3, 2012 Author Posted May 3, 2012 Did you? I searched and searched throughout the cigar reviews section before writing my note but didn't find any. Could you direct me to the right page? Thanks in advance. Michel

LeafLover Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 Terrible everyday cigar! No one should have more than 3 boxes in their stock at any given time.
cottierm Posted May 4, 2012 Author Posted May 4, 2012 My fault! I forgot to search the "Cheap and Cheerful" section. Thanks. Michel
cottierm Posted May 4, 2012 Author Posted May 4, 2012 There are so disgusting indeed that it is better to smoke them than to keep them!
