Popular Post El Presidente Posted March 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2022 Another month clicks over Your best cigar experience of the last 30 days? 2021 Punch Punch have moved to the front of my regular rotation. Consistently 93 point cigars, but I had a 96 pointer last week that I can still taste when I close my eyes. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMELTZ Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I am amazed at the Trinidad Esmeralda 2021's. 93 everyone of the six I smoked. Waiting for my punches, can't wait to try. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kevin48438 Posted March 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2022 March had some awesome cigars. Nubbing one now that I mentioned in the rotation thread. The Tatuaje black label corona gorda. It is from the jar release about 10 years ago. These have none of the traits, like pepper, that cc lovers find unappealing in Nicaraguan cigars. See below for what I really think about it. Another is a personal reserve from a blender/maker (nc) that is not available for sale. They’re about 15 years old and might contain crack cocaine they are so addictive. Best Cuban was an old-ish (10-12 years) Behike that is related. I gave one of the personal reserves from above to a friend to smoke when he was over. He wanted more so I traded a few for a few of his Behikes. I don’t smoke BHKs very often, but I do love them. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chibearsv Posted March 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2022 I killed my box of 2015 HU2 which were all fantastic but the Monte 3 I had this weekend from a 2020 box was next level terrific. Had twang for days and just a touch of chocolate. We can kiss those goodbye soon. So good 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bill Hayes Posted March 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2022 Probably a draw between a PSP JL#2 and a Nudies Carlota Maduro. I leaped straight in as soon as they arrived which is not advised but found the Nudie to be right in my wheelhouse from the get go. Experimented with pairing it with an Old Fashioned with a touch of orange bitters as well as Angostura bitters and worked pretty well. Tried an Old Fashioned without the orange bitters but with a light sprinkle of instant espresso powder and wasn't bad, although I think the orange was a good contrast to the toasty, leathery and maduro cocoa/coffee flavours. I make my Old Fashioneds with Rye. I think bourbon would be too sweet unless drunk on the rocks or neat. Will revisit with just a long machiatto or perhaps a tall black iced coffee. If the Nudies improve over the next 30 days, it's a bonus IMHO. Also loved the size. Can smoke it slow and steady without re-lighting. Cheers. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post X-Man Posted March 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2022 Even though I smoked a BHK 56 and cracked open Gran Edmundo in honor of HabanaMike, I still have to go with the Trinidad Esmeralda from FOH. It is so good yet so young. Lots of potential to develop into a classic. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Corylax18 Posted March 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2022 Its a toss up for me. Either the "Hybrid Behike" in the first photo or the farm rolled Lancero in the 2nd. The smoking situation/atmosphere may have helped nudged these ahead of few very good smokes I had here in the snow/cold. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you just described why I love certain skinnies so much: "Can smoke it slow and steady without re-lighting." Best smoke of March probably goes to my last Partagas 898 (2006). Broken heart as I'll likely not see these ever again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really for any reason beyond I didnt feel they could be THAT much better than CPE’s but then the price skyrocketed lol. I really want to try one but now might wait a long time!

They became my favorite (before I really even “knew.”) I started loading up on them about 2 years ago or so right before everything went crazy. I actually now regret giving 5 away as gifts 🤦🏼♂️.
