Morning 898 like a savage. Perfect flavor and construction. 98 points.

When you aggressively want to start your day off like a badass--the Party 898 morning. Well done, @Ford2112

What a selection!  I can almost feel the disappointment (though I've never had those three in one day!) 

In case it's helpful (and it's all about personal preferences) --  my experiences with each of those three cigars is that age can make a great deal of difference, adding complexity, nuance and intensity in all the right places.  Even for the Fuente, which I'd wager had the best construction of the three, ...even a couple of years makes a whopping difference to my enjoyment.  

I now try (emphasis on try) to hold most Cohiba and Partagás for 8-10 years (sadly).  Again, to each his or her own, but I've really enjoyed the aged ones, and often don't see a flicker of the same "wow" factor in the young 'uns.

Hope that's helpful, and pls pardon if you'd already waited.  As learned here (by me at least) time doesn't fix everything, ...but just maybe 

All the best, 

Thanks for the tip, I’ve been lucky and built a decent collection of Cohibas that I don’t intend to smoke ( at least regularly ) until year 5 

for Partagas it was from 2020 June Sou box which is really good but that’s just unfortunately a bad stick ! The rest are ready ( they may get better but I don’t have the patience ) 

for the record I’ve smoked them in 2 days I don’t have the palate to smoke 3 cigars a day unfortunately

CoSho on my walk to work. My work charges $50 a month to park and the surrounding neighborhood is 1 hour parking, so I walk a mile in defiance (that will show em!)

 

I'm sure your employer and the neighborhood are feeling the pressure to change their policies based on your defiance walk 🙄

How's the noggin?  Did your eye(s) clear up.  Hope you're feeling 100% after the shit you went through.  Cheers Brother!

Breakfast - M5, coffee and some dates

Edit: In fact, the dates combo wasn't the brightest idea. The subtle complexity and honey flavour of the Mazafati were completetly overpowered by the Monte

Great morning smoke! Mild. Creamy.  A woody note that turned into bread during the final third.  See why you like 'em  

Went savage this morning with a P898 courtesy of @Ford2112 😎

Epi 2 with about 18 months on it.

 

The flavour profile has changed so much that I’m not sure if I’ve done something wrong in storage

First cigar in a while. 2021 N3 maduro. Testing out my new granite stand as well. The cigar is a little wobbly on it so I'll continue sanding a bit more.

Red Knight Lancero. Very well made, perfect construction, nice wrapper, snug draw, great burn. But fairly soon got bored. By no means a bad cigar, but pretty one-dimensional and too little going on there to keep one entertained during the duration of that smoke.

[Michael303]

First one of these. Not sure what I was expecting but it beat my expectations.

H Upmann Conn A. LUB ABR 14.  First one out of the box with less than ideal construction.  Still very enjoyable.
