jquest63 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 2008 JLPC for morning commute: excellent 45 min smoke(both taste and aroma), paired with a strong mug of coffee. Needs aging, but very enjoyable young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thurmanmunson Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Had a long weekend up in the mountains and got a chance to smoke a few. Started with a BGM, it was underfilled and performed poorly. H upmann #2 was med/full, good constr., earthy, dark tobacco, reminded me of the Cuaba EL, good smoke. HDM DC, great construction, great prelight aroma, great flavors, leather,wood,milk chocolate, a little spice here and there, complex.Good smoke. BCG, good constr, great Boli flavors, with cream on top, great smoke. All of these smokes I got as singles, so they should be 08's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKA27 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I just finished a RJ Duke 209 LE. I found it to be quite a nice smoke considering their quite new with an easy draw, medium to strong with a base of earthy, wood tones. On first light, it was quite spicy but mellowed toward the second third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassman Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 03 Upmann #2. Rich & earthy, just a wonderful cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toto Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 03 Cohiba especiales and a 08 Cohiba especiales at the same time side by side. Heavenly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfectform Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Friday night an 08 PSD4 that was just outstanding. The entire box has been so far. Paired with a little Cruzan Single Barrel. Yesterday after dinner was an Oliva Serie V Maduro for a change of pace, paired with a little Zacapa 23. Excellent dessert combo. Earlier this morning, an 01 SLR Lonsdale. I agree with tigger. Some more time for these would do them justice. Now, an 01 LGC M'dO No. 2...beautifully subtle and floral smoke. Just love these. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tampa1257 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Went to the Pistol Range for some pratice with my Glock Model 21, 45. On the way to the range, I smoked a 08 Partagas Short that was by far the best Short I have had in several years, well since 05 any way. Sweet peppery spice, rich tobacco, earthy and basically WOW for a small Habano. Smoked a 07 PLPC while at the range, and while these are still young, they are beginning to have the distintive carmel flavor known in the PL Marca. Finally I pulled out one of my last 1997 Bolivar PC's for the ride home and was not disappointed. There is a good reason to age your cigars! This was a Bolivar that met every expectation!

mbrody Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Friday night a 07 Partagas Connie#3 - what a great smoke. Nubbed is not the word. How about "roach." Last night a mag46. Satisfying. Today a VR Don Alejandro while playing Golf. Cocoa and spice, linear till the end. Great burn and perfect for the course. BTW, Tampa, my 07 Party Shorts are smoking as you described...WOW is the word, however, they took about a year to get to WOW. Sounds like 08 is there ROTT...

thechenman Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Friday night I lit up an El Rey del Mundo Lunch Club (07) for a short smoke. Not bad for a smoke that is so small in stature, but overall it was just an okay smoke. The flavor profile did not change and the cigar was a bit flat. Saturday night I enjoyed a Trinidad Reyes (08). It was a bit on the young side, but was a very good smoke with an evolving flavor profile that really came through. The end was a bit bitter, likely due to youth, but would definitely improve with some age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.T Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 On Friday afternoon I an ERDM Tainos from 1997. It was a well constructed cigar and burned beautifully. I really enjoyed this cigar. It remained medium bodied throughout. Throughout the cigar there were subtle notes of spice, wood, pepper and cedar. There also remained a real sweetness on the lips throughout and an aroma that I can only describe as being cake-like or a sweet type of bread. Anyways, this was a very nice afternoon smoke and I look forward to the rest of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started today with a very disappointing 07 SCDH El Principe. Truthfully, I haven't enjoyed these since my 01s finished. Made up for it with my second from a box of JUN 08 Lusis. Nice flavor & body- these might be the best post 95 Lusis I've smoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live in the South and It's that hot here at almost 2:30 am and 90+ humidity! I'm sure the wildfires aren't helping keep things cool either. Was back in OC two weeks ago. Temperature was great. Mid to upper 60s at night. mid to upper 70s during the day. I truly miss SoCal weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toto Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Siglo VI 08. Tasted really bland! Smoke from the burning foot smelled good. Me thinks they need to sleep for a LONG time. It may never improve. Fired up a CoRo 06 right after to get the taste I was after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
