El Presidente Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Well Monday morning here and back from a week at the beach with the family (is there a greater oxymoron than Family Holiday?). The weather was hot and balmy and all in all excellent. Plenty of beach fishing in the afternoons and surfing in the morning. My son Ben (11) is quickly getting the hang of his shortboard while my Mals are getting bigger each year to accomodate my frame :-D Plenty of chances to try cigars and managed an average of three per day. Here are my top 5. 1. Ramon Allones Specially Selected. Full bodied, perfect construction,rich and sweet. 05 stock so no age but an absolute cracker. 2. Juan Lopez Seleccion No 1. Is there a better Corona Gorda??? 03 from memory. Mid bodied (they appear to be getting fuller) but just sweet and smooth and complex. Enjoyed with a Cointreau on ice. Magic. 3.La Gloria Cubana Medaille D'0r No 1 (01) Citrus notes throughout, smooth and subtle but with real charachter. Love this cigar and I am thankfull I keep plenty at home. 4. Cohiba Lancero (05) Lancero's are just an exemplary cigar. Full bodied and loaded with coffee. The honey sweetness will come with a little time. Gorgeous shiny colorado wrapper. One for the long haul. 5. Montecristo No 4 (05) Excellent. Coffee cream in a mid body format. One of the great comebacks of 05. Monte 4 has regained it's charachter.

Sounds like a great time Rob. I have never heard of taking a week vacation for Christmas, then becoming soo exhausted from the week back ,that you have to take another week. You poor git.;-) Nice cigar lineup. I enjoyed an ERDM Tainos from '98 this afternoon. Mild and medium bodied, but very frangrant complex smoke. Glad theres 24 more.:-D
habanohal Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 good to see you back. I have been on an ERDM Gran De Espana trip. I have fallen in love with this cigar

ALB Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Welcome back Prez, glad to hear you had a good break. My holiday cigar picks are (in no particular order): Cohiba Siglo VI (1st of the year, superb) H. Upmann Mag 46 (from habanablue, great smoke, lots of flavours but smoooth) HDM Epi #2 (as per review on board, just a nice smoke) Cohiba Siglo III (not as good as Sig. VI, but still very nice) Monte # 4 (just love these)
^nsmoke Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Welcome back, sounds like you had a great holiday, I know what you mean about the LGC there quite tasty as well as the lanceros.
dragon Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Lanceros 'eh?? And to think I just foolishly ordered yet another box of the Siglo VI's. :-(
Tampa1257 Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Sounds very nice El Prez, One of these days, I'll be able to smoke again, and I am craving the opportunity. Just don't tell the Doc.
El Presidente Posted January 16, 2006 Author Posted January 16, 2006 Great to see you are well Tampa ! Dragon, I just enjoy thinner guage long cigars. You know I am all style and Finnesse
Ken Gargett Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 were you away? and you can bag the glorious skins all you like. we knocked your mob out and we did the cowgirls twice and kept them out of the playoffs. a great year. and with gibbs back in control, look out next year - they are already engraving the trophy!
Andyman Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Saturday night I smoked a 96 Bolivar Corona.. One of the best I have had yet..
korryp Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Nice line up. I have the Cohiba Lancero and the Monte 4 on my current buy list.
