"Waffles and syrup" registers on my palate as malt and sugar sweetness. These will need to rest for a while; I smoked one ROTT and it was, predictably, pretty rough. I wouldn't expect them to need any particular aging beyond the 90 days of acclimation though. Here are my notes on a recent production single I picked up last summer: It lights readily and produces an even burn and a flaky gray ash. Right away, there's a rich leather and sea salt profile, with just a bit of a malty note, and a toasted aroma. The depth of the leather profile deepens in the second half and the malty note recurs in the aroma. At this stage, the flavors are deepening and becoming richer, but not necessarily evolving. The profile continues apace, still with not much change in the flavors, but it does finish with just a hint of candy sweetness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akela3rd Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 RASCC ULA JUN 15. Smoked one ROTT. Complex and subtle. Nuts, leather, wood, meat, pepper. Everything is there but it’s all subtly represented. Interested to see how they do with some rest in the humi. Meat? What meat exactly? Are we talking bloody steak, rich humming pork or clean wholesome chicken? Or did you just spark up after prepping dinner? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sort of reminds me of that iron-y taste of beef blood, with the fat and flesh behind it, rounding it out. I've been helping my girlfriend (who i got into cigars) train her palate. When we share a cigar, I'll point out things i'm picking up, to see if she notices them. She always gets excited when i take a draw and excitedly proclaim "STEAK!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it’s a more of a game meat taste. Like venison. I get it all the time in Bolis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtle differences. Some of the BRU AGO 10 monte 4s i BURNED through occasionally reminded me of elk loin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hoping that’s the case and plan to torch them all in the next year or 2Sadly, I was joking. I haven't seen any evidence whatsoever of quality control with the PCC Vintage program. As far as I can tell, they just slap the sticker on any stuff they find sitting around in the warehouse and jack up the price 3x. Hopefully El Pres has evidence to the contrary.

Wushy Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Partagas Lusitanias(10) from last weekend's 24:24. I tried my first ever Party Lusi from ABR 16 that I got in a trade and it was fantastic. If that was representative of general Party Lusies, I'm in for a treat I think. I think I'm gonna shop around for double coronas more often now. On my ever growing list of to-buy now has, Upmann Sir Winnies, VR Don Alejandro, SLR DC, Hoyo DC, Punch DC(purchased a 5er from 2015 from a BOTL. Excited to try) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ciscojohansson Posted March 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2018 Hi guys, just bought my first box of CoRos. I have only bought singles or three packs before. They look dark and oily and smell delicious. Only problem, it’s hard to get them to fit in the box after you take them and smell them. I am going to try to age these. Wish me luck!
