Ferrero Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 You can all shoot me down for this one. It's been sitting idle on YouTube since Christmas Eve and I completely forgot about it over the break. Rob left a little Christmas message in there so just hold on to it until Christmas this year 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMonk Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Nicely done, gents! Not really surprised by the score, TBH... the Lancero can be a fantastic smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, was the box code or age of the Lancero mentioned in this video? Was it a '14, '15 or '16 Lancero? I had '06 Lancero about 6 weeks ago and I found it interesting when you mentioned the change in the second third of your cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure that the '06 Lancero I had such a large change through the thirds, however, that's okay as younger Cohiba can have this complexity and be still very, very good.

OZCUBAN Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Thanks Ken I have been drinking Brooklyn Brown (read brown ale )of late (if you can get it ) .Not as heavy as a Stout but very good none the less creamy nutty characteristics,doesn't pair to bad with a cigar,next time you speak to Rob ask him about the Stout he was drinking on his trip to Perth ( second thoughts he might not remember it ) but he was pretty impressed,it called Nail Stout ,from the nail brewery here in Perth ,I think it's an Oatmeal Stout They also do an Imperial Stout 750ml bottle about $80 ..it would want to be goood at that price cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drguano Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 No offense Ken but I am with Rob on the sherry. My hosts served Fino one night and, like you, said finish it or you'll get nothing else. They couldn't figure out why a lot of plants were dead the next morning. Northing worse than a sherry fascist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northing worse than a sherry fascist... i had not the slightest doubt that there was no chance it would be finished. i do understand that there are plenty out there who detest the stuff. but good sherry is truly heaven on earth. i have no problem at all with that (and promise not to try and ban anyone who disagrees).

Drguano Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Ah! Good sherry... maybe that was the problem. I will keep an open mind. Now I do recall drinking a sherry and enjoying it when some of it was added to a soup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
