Popular Post JohnS Posted December 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2020 Greetings dear friends! (If you've seen my video reviews you'd know that's how I begin dialogue in them) I'm thinking of doing the next video review series based on what I've found to be smoking 'hot' in 2020. Usually I don't introduce the cigars reviewed in a series except if they've been past Christmas Samplers. Have fun guessing the cigars listed below: C..... H..... H..... H...... M..... P..... P..... P..... Q..... R..... T.... T..... T.... Note well, I've not done any of these before in a video review except Number 2 which was in a Xmas Sampler a few years ago. They are in alphabetical order. I may not do all 13, but I intend to do them starting next week and have a few uploaded in time for the Christmas/New Year break. 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bijan Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 If the first letter gives away the Marca I'd say the Ts are the 3 new Trinidads and the P are probably at least one Partagas maduro line maybe more than one. Cohiba likely the medio siglo. Wonder if M, Q and R are the three 2019 ELs. That's about as much speculation as I can manage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanMcLean68 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Looking forward to your reviews @JohnS ? Just a point, if a cigar is smoking "hot", isn't that normally a bad thing? Ok, you mean "smoking hot" not smoking "hot", as in "Whoa, she's smoking hot" not "Oh shit, my mouth is on fire". ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bijan Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Thanks John. This is a fun game! I am pretty sure that the M is a Montecristo. But just realized that R can be RyJ as much as Ramon Allones. And P can be Punch (or even Por Larranaga). I'm guessing punch short de punch is one of the Ps (and if not then punch 48). I feel one of the Hs must be the connoisseur no. 1 possibly from that BRE NOV 18 box there was so much discussion about. I have no confidence in my guesses for RyJ and Montecristo. Too much to choose from. I'd have to reflect on it further. Maybe ex. 4 and Petit royales would be safe choices and Monte 2 and Monte 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bijan Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Oh and the Q is a quai d'Orsay. If not the Senadores it would be most likely one of the three regular production. Probably not the Coronas Claro. But either the 50 or 54. I also just realized I didn't make use of the fact that you didn't previously video review the cigars to eliminate options... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
