QdO Corona ETP AGO 16

Picked up a quarter box of these a while back and finally trying one. Why didn’t I get the whole damn box?  Will they ever reappear?

1. San Cristóbal de La Habana El Príncipe TOS May 2016

This cigar was the perfect balance of San Cristobal coffee, cocoa and molasses. There was absolutely no spice evident, but the combination of the mild-medium sweet flavours made this easy to nub. How can they get this good when I've nearly run out (of the box)?

2. Montecristo No.1 ESL Jun 2017

Construction-wise, this was a lot better than my last one. As usual, nice and mild and very easy to smoke. This was a nice blend of Montecristo cocoa and milk coffee flavours, complimented by some nut and vanilla bean, at times.

3. Montecristo Petit Edmundo (FoH: Week in Pictures Sampler Prize Cigar)

It would be an understatement to admit that this was possibly the best Montecristo Petit Edmundo I've ever had. I must thank the team at FoH as this cigar was part of a sampler prize for the FoH: Week in Pictures thread. The difference between this Petit Edmundo and others that I've had in the past was the sheen off the wrapper and the obvious potent barnyard aroma.

The cigar was a lot milder than the usual Petit Edmundo, perhaps a touch under medium, with dark cocoa, milk coffee, leather and vanilla bean notes. The only criticism I had of this cigar was that the binder leaves were bunched and this caused burning issues, at times, which required correction, but otherwise it was a great smoke.

4. Montecristo Double Edmundo (FoH: Week in Pictures Sampler Prize Cigar)

Like my previous cigar to this one, the Montecristo Petit Edmundo, this was part of a prize sampler from the FoH: Week in Pictures competition and like that cigar, the sheen on the wrapper and the barnyard aroma was outstanding. I've had quite a number of Montecristo vitolas over the years, but believe it or not, this was the first time I've ever had a Double Edmundo (a Robusto Extra at 50 ring gauge x 155 mm or 6.1 inches in length and released in 2013).

I expected this to be a 'powerhouse', but like the Petit Edmundo, it was milder than I anticipated, with classic Montecristo cocoa and milk coffee flavours and sweet notes of vanilla bean and caramel. Thank you Team FoH for another great cigar!

Your basic RASCC, from ESL AGO 17. Punchy little number, smoking fine despite the slightly cracked wrapper. Such a different character from the RASS: much spicier. I find smoking these while nibbling something sweet really brings out the sweet flavours in the cigar.

Reminiscent of an aged Trinidad, which is no bad thing

If I had a box, I'd get into them now. These are good, but mild already. I don't think they have legs for too much longer.

I usually take Halloween off because of the kids, but this year it is such a nice day I had to get in a round of golf before trick or treating.

RAGs are my go to golf smoke.

Back home with a Siglo VI

I had one from my open box the other day (I bet it came from the same source) and it was very good. Didn’t think it was over the hill.

First RA Eminencia. It’s from the re-release in 2007 and it was delicious!

Submitted a paper today so a bit of a celebration. Bolivar Especiales LRE JUN09. Fantastic size and construction. Sweet bread and earth, some baking spice. Not much change.

Then a Gloria D5. Smoking well.
