[rascalmonkey]

mine just arrived today & "wowowowowo" was the response

here's the details if interested:

12 Cigar 2020 Christmas Sampler 

Montecristo Supremos 2019 Edicion Limitada      Montesco     GEM MAR 20   Pure Monte goodness delivering cocoa and cream in spades. There was barely a rough edge in the near 2 hours we took to smoke them.

Quai D’Orsay Sensadores Edicion Limitada 2019   Grand Corona    TUA MAR 20    Quai D’Orsay is a marque on the rise with both the 50 and 54 being runaway hits. They have another home run with the Senadores 

Cohiba Siglo VI      Canonazo     MOL MAY 20       Legend. Pancake, treacle, milk coffee, citrus zest. 

H. Upmann Propios Edicion Limitada  2018     Corona Extra      BRE ABR 20  Love this cigar. Tastes very much like a mix between the H. Upmann 48 LE and very good Mag 46. Shortbread and espresso driven. Medium bodied, maybe a touch over. 

Trinidad Esmeralda    Robusto (54x145)       BSM ABR  20 *      Pure Trini Goodness with sponge cake, cream and a touch of coffee liquor. 

Quai d’Orsay No 54      Edmundo Grueso    TOU DIC 19      Mezzo coffee with a beautiful crema. Stunning QD. 

Partagas Maduro Number 1       Maduro Number 1   TUE ABR 20 *   Tailormade for Christmas. They are smoking brilliantly. Cocoa, cooking chocolate, toasted tobacco, lightly burnt cookies, peanut butter

Montecristo Number 2        Piramide     RAT JUN 20   2020 Monte 2 are off the charts good. 94/5 rating at the recent video review.  Palate coating cocoa, coffee, and cream. Medium bodied.  They are at the top of their game.

Bolivar Belicoso Finos          Belicoso    LTO JUN 20  They have been great all year. They made last years list and if anything, they have only got better. Creamy stout goodness with a touch of liquorice, leather, coffee biscuit. Big on flavour and they can be enjoyed young … Medium full and tasty as hell.

Romeo y Julieta Churchill      Churchill    GEL FEB 20   They have maintained the rage. A beautiful lady that you will enjoy immensely.  Spiced cherries, unsweetened cream with some sweet spices of nutmeg lilting in and out.  

Cohiba Robusto     Robusto    SOV DIC 19   The aroma at cold is a perfume of tobacco, citrus and sweet spice. Sheen, aroma at cold, construction. Coffee, cream, orange peel, honey, sweet spices, cake 

Partagas Lusitania     Double Corona   EBO JUN 20   They have been absolutely brilliant this past 6 weeks. …..paprika spiced sweet cream, coffee cake, toasted tobacco, touch of honey.

I think there were quite a few of us on the original 24:24 thread interested in any advice as to which sticks to smoke first and which ones to rest, so now that there's a more permanent thread it'd be great if anyone has advice or thoughts on that. Thanks!

? ?

If you rest these sticks for 90 days after 2-3 week journey  you will be out of the Christmas window into next year.. 

opinions on resting these sticks and when to smoke? 

[teamrandr]

Give them 30 days no doubt.   I have had some great cigars ROTT. You can always dry box to be sure.  

[El Presidente]

Put them away and don't look at them until December. we will have a dedicated christmas thread on them then

Nice looking sampler

[Vitola Corleone]

If you assembled this on your own you'd pay far north of $300 US. Not to mention that you wouldn't have chosen as wisely. Our friends offered a great deal on this.

The last sunlight they shall see for some time...

Didn't miss it this year. Looks like a stellar lineup.
