Oddly this is the first cigar I've ever had with coffee. For some reason they never sounded good together even though I love them individually. I'm quite liking it!

I have more cigars with a straight up Americano than anything else by far. Not to say I don’t like other pairings I do, but this is my most common.

Nice coffee mug.

2015 Lusitania

Started my round with a 2017 San Juan and it was blander than bland...so I chucked it to a friend sans cigar in the group behind me and he was grateful...

Then I switched to an old standby which was delightful...2017 Connie A

 

Bespoke...these guys make really good stuff.

Thanks. I think it’s pretty funky. There was a post in the Coffee Mug thread and showed a cool mug made by Scargo Pottery in Cape Cod. While we were up there earlier this summer we went to Scargo and picked up a few things.

2016 Lusi. Gosh it’s lovely. Slightly sweet, slightly vegetal, and a long smooth ride.

UAO ENE 18.

I know I mentioned this in the past, but I smoked one of the dark wrapper Talismans the other day, and these Talismans with the light wrappers taste so different to me.  The light wrapper ones are so much more enjoyable.  It is not just a matter of different shades of the same wrapper either.  They are clearly two different types of wrappers.

The dark ones have a predominately “EL flavor”, that I seem to get in most EL’s regardless of the Marca.  But the light ones are pure Cohiba.  Cohiba on steroids would best describe it.  The intense flavor in this cigar is blowing me away right now.

And the ironic thing is, I chose to open this box now, because I thought the “18” made it the least marketable if I ever want to sell some. The rest all have 17 box codes.  But if I ever do sell some, it wont be the light wrapper boxes.  I enjoy them too much to let go of them.

All of the light wrapper ones that I have seen are UAO, but not all UAO are light wrappers.

From my collection, it seems the pattern is, that they started using the light wrappers on UAO boxes some time in Sept 17 and used them at least through January of 18.  Or perhaps, I just got lucky with those particular boxes?

2 X UAO AGO 17 - Both dark.

2 X UAO SEP 17 - One dark, One light.

UAO OCT 17 - Light

2 X UAO DIC 17 - Both light

UAO ENE 18 - Light

2 X LRG DIC 17 - Both dark

(I feel this topic deserves Some discussion.  I would like to hear other opinions, so I copied and pasted this post to it’s own thread.)

Diplomáticos No.2 EML Ago 2014

This is the second Diplomaticos No.2 I've had from this box soon after I had my first a few days ago. Again, although it was just on 5 years rested, there was plenty of flavour and smoke to be had, and construction was absolutely faultless. In fact, I'd go 'out-on-a-limb' and admit that this cigar was the most capsicum (or bell pepper) rich Dip 2 I've ever had in my life. Coupled with the paprika spice, which was evident in spades, the sourdough barely got a look-in over 90 minutes of smoking.

In comparison to recent TOS 16/17 Diplomaticos No.2 I've enjoyed I've found these two EML 14 examples a lot more savoury and more 'punchy' in flavours. I'm now curious to examine a third from the box, as I'm inclined in my preferences to go for milder examples of Habanos cigars when I get the opportunity, yet paradoxically I don't mind too much when cigars are 'punchy' in their flavours like this either.

I find 1 in about 10 San Juans are compelling....the rest are bland. All the Connie A are consistently terrific. 

[westg]

I am showing no mercy 2015 San Juan .Very unique flavour. I am loving them  and well stocked ..2017 Robusto fairly average at this stage

Wife and baby out of town = double corona time. 2016 VR Don Alejandro, first from the box, absolutely superb.  Very complex, these are going to be off the chart with some more time. A little difficulty keeping it lit in the final 1/3 but I live in FL and the humidity is roughly 200%.  2+ hours smoke time, the dog was not entertained.

I know that these didn't sell well but Habanophiles should mourn the loss of this cigar.  Wonderful in every way.
