Ken Gargett Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 dear 'sits like buddha in his ten foot cell', if there are no EL's, i'm not coming. dragon and mel have obviously got terrific taste. there are a couple there that we have done reasonably recently - cuaba salamones, jl, trinidad colonialles - which proves my point to rob that he needs to revamp the system so we can find them - i never can. always happy to revisit (the last time i paid vast sums for a cuaba salamones from the humidor, i would have had more fun ripping up money in the shower). rob, i have rec'd a vast number of emails direct all crying out for a review of the partagas reserve - several wise souls have suggested that i should do it this week and check it weekly for the rest of the year. and i won't be reviewing this weekend or even on the forum - i am away until the next weekend.

Inconsistent smoke this one. I've had a couple the last few days, some are sublime whilst other's are like a red headed stepchild.. I'm really not sure what to make of it.

El Presidente Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 Everyone try this. In the search feature type in "Cuaba Salomones" Where did you find it?....yes Authored by Ken Gargett and posted to the wrong forum ie not the "review Forum" Never work with animals, children or wine writers. :cool: Will move post across to the "correct" forum this weekend.

Ken Gargett Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 may i take this moment to point out that at the time of that post, i was closely following the instructions i had been given by rob. also, i was not referring to that specific one. may i also point out that rob has taken his own advice, "Never work with animals, children or wine writers" and adapted it to "Never work".

cf2112 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 How about side by side testing of 04-05 production to 01-02 like an 01 BBF to an 05 BBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Presidente Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 Firstly, Ken doesn't open wine bottles as generally the person who purchased the bottle...opens it ;-) Secondly, the Molinos are my favourite Sancho Panza of all. Never foundit salty however. Will be definately reviewed next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 But seriously, I'd like to hear Kens review on a Dunhill Cabinetta or Estupendo, or perhaps the Davidoff Haut-Brion or Chateau d'Yquem ?
