GTS21 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Had a 94 Esplendido after dinner, followed by a 98 LFDC Corona. The Espy was stellar, the LFDC very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habanos2000 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I had a 2008 Upman Mag 50 this afternoon. The flavors were pretty muted and it felt light to medium bodied at best, but I did enjoy it. Even got a compliment from the wife regarding the good smell of the cigar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesuscookies Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Had an Illusione ecj4 this morning. Not bad, little harsh, cedar and leather notes throughout. After the BBQ this evening I had a Monte Sublime. It had coffee, cream and chocolate notes throughout, final third took on a very heavy cream and cake taste. Wonderful cigar, much nicer than the Monte 2's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKA27 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Just had a Diplomaticos #2, one of my favourites, medium bodied, coffee, leathery flavours, nice draw and even burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceChant Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Last night I smoked cigar that was so sweet it made me feel sick, I went and took Bolivar Gold Medal to change the bad taste I had from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolivr Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Last night I smoked cigar that was so sweet it made me feel sick, I went and took Bolivar Gold Medal to change the bad taste I had from it. Let me guess... Swisher Sweet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceChant Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Let me guess... Swisher Sweet? LOL Nope, it was Perdomo's Slow-Aged Lot 826 Glorioso size (6"x52) Connecticut natural wrapper. I got it from friend that's why I even smoked it and kept smoking it more than I would in different cases. First & second Thirds: Sweet, little ceder but too sweet. Last third: Sweet with touch of coffee, into the last third it became bitter but I still smoked it as for me it was better than sweet. I'm very sensitive to sweetness I don't drink sweet drinks and I don't add sugar to hot drinks. So I took the BGM it was refreshing. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassman Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Nothing yet today, but yesterday was so nice out I had an 03 BCG in the morning and 03 Sir Winston in the afternoon. Two very different tasting cigars, but both superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigFish Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Nice '01 Lanceros yesterday; tight, slow smoking but rewarding nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartagasIV Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Had a May '08 Mag50, first one in a couple months. First puff tasted just like a Super Corona, sort of a sweet hay flavor. Settled down into toasted tobacco and leather. Very enjoyable cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassman Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Decided on an 04 Siglo IV today. Damn good cigar. One of the few regular production 04s with lots of flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van55 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Last evening I started off with a pair (successively and not at once) of Le Hoyo du Roi. Too bad these are to be discontinued, if I recall correctly. Very nice, woody cigars. I finished the evening with a Sancho Non Plus that someone had given me. Unique flavors that I find hard to describe, but I did get hints of black licorice a few times. Draw was unpleasantly tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromeroselli Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Over the weekend I had a CORO, RASS and PPP that were all excellent. CORO was the outstanding individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Our ORIS National Watch rep popped in yesterday for cigars, wine and dinner at Czar House. We started with a good (but not great Cohiba Robusto). The second cigar was a Partagas Serie D4 (current stock) which was simply divine. They certainly have come back to glory days.

android Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Last evening on the deck an 03 Sir Winston....Amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigFish Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Petit robusto during the day's errands, SLR PC on the porch with Lady Piggy and her broken leg. The '06 Hoyo PR is one fabulous little cigar. I expected more from the SLR this one was a dud as most of the box have been quite enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizedean Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Revisited an '08 Mag 50 after letting this one dry box for 24 hours. made a world of difference as this was a very enjoyable smoke. Had an 08 CoRo which was good but not great, very muted flavors, were consistent not complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jquest63 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Morning cigar: Por Larranaga Petite Corona(2008) - Smoked while commuting this morning, overall excellent 45 minutes, in spite of the minor tunneling issue experienced about half way in. Started out with a blast of rich tobacco flavors and then settled down for the duration. Nuts, creaminess, caramel sweetness, slight saltiness intermingled with rich tobacco. Well balanced, fairly complex and paired well with my morning coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CigarZen Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 May 07 BBF (cab) -- sweet, almost unbelievably so, with nice earth. 92. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdbrown Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Last night a 06 Partagas Presidentes. This was my second example from this box. Well balanced and perfect. Best Partagas I have had in quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakester Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Two nights ago it was a 2006 Punch SS#1. Excellent flavors and great strength. Surprisingly it remained pretty smooth down to the nub. Could use some age to smooth it out a bit, but already a great, robust cigar! Just now finished off an Oct 2006 RASSC. I've had a few underwhelming examples from this box, but most have been a pure delight - a favorite for sure. Paired with 15yr El Dorado rum.

Mr Peales Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 R&J Churchill from '06. Solid cigar, perfect construction. Lasted two hours, I could have stretched it but I was in a hurry. Medium to strong body and very smooth all the way through. A nice core wood and toasted tobacco; delicious doughy, sweet-bread flavors from beginning to end. Didn't change much from beginning to end.
