A 2021 Hoyo de San Juan, pretty disappointing, I liked it a lot more 2 years ago which makes me question their ageing potential 🤔

Maybe this one was a dud, any thoughts ??

I’ve only had one but I thought they were pretty strong when young? I did enjoy it quite a bit though and added a box to my wants list. I remember the Sahakians saying that a cigar could go bland/“dead” for a few years and then after a few more years come back to “life” but I believe they were talking about when aging a cigar 10-20+ years. All in all I would mark that one down as a dud and give it another go in 6 months to a year.

I have smoked only one so far from a 2016 box but it is likely to be my cigar of the year. That is especially impressive to me as this year I removed all previous restrictions I’ve held for years and smoked some of my best most prized Havanas. I’ll smoke another soon but it’s hard for me to believe these were anywhere near as good fresh to even a few years aged. Also Hoyo in general I find to be among the best with long age.

As less and less vendors have been shipping to the States, I have been trying to slow down the Cuban bleeding from my humidor, so I have been testing out different NCs to see if there are any I could get used to. There really are no substitutes for the Cuban flavor, but these are pretty good.

I am on the same journey. Try the below cigar. Really, really good.

Just cracked into this box of #4's from 2018 and I am going to keep pulling from it. Wonderful afternoon cigar!

My dad passed away at midnight last night after a 7 month long battle after having had a major stroke. I dedicate this Partagas E2 to Robert William Ford, 1946-2025. Cigars have many functions. Tonight it was a welcome diversion from all the stress. 

Three Generations. Dad, Myself, my Nephew Anthony. He will be greatly missed.

Sorry to hear of your loss, condolences to you and your family.

Let's get the day started with a Punch Punch. Got the 120 ton crane set up 35,000 lbs of counterweights on and the old 35 ton rooftop unit down. Waiting on the new unit so we can set it and see what kind of chill water and steam pipe modifications have got to be done.

This was a bummer, simply because I was looking forward to this one for about a week now, and it didn’t deliver on the level that I wanted it to. Oh well, it did its job at the end of the day.
