Lotusguy Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Smoking a Upmann Noellas from the Jar. Over the last year, they have improved from horrible (70) to barely acceptable (75). Don't waste your money. Bitterness and nothing else. Booooo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 ...and to make up for that POS Noellas, a Sir Winston from 2010 - that's what I am talking about!!! Someday I have to get a box, even though I rarely smoke Churchills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMJoe Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Started the night with a Monte 4...total crap! This box is Jekyll and Hyde. Finishing off with an Epi 2. Ahhhh, better! Milky coffee and toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isa Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Smoking a Monte GE tonight as planned - wonderful. Dark chocolate to begin with and later becomes more milk chocolate, some sweet spices, touch of wood, pepper now & then - chocolate heaven this one, no bitterness that some have noticed, definitely recommended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosh Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Had a Partagas Serie D no 4 after finishing the day's work. This box is from -08 and has mellowed out nicely by now. Paired it with a little Ardbeg and a Scarecrow. Nice way to relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmoon01 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Smoking a Bolivar petit corona from NOV 11. Very nice smoke. I just bought the box, will age at least twenty of them for a few more months, but they are smoking great now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbeaver Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Smoked a Trinidad Fundadores I picked up in Amsterdam. Very nice but not the mind blower I got from Frank last month. Perhaps this the 2011 or 12 that Rob talks about in the April review video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMJoe Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 CoRo to celebrate a great day that delivered wonderful news. Very young, but these are just a great smoke. I hope I can let them sit long enough to see what some age does for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Another outstanding H. Upmann Royal Robusto. It's an easy 95 and that's with only about 1 year of age. I will have a hard time aging the rest of my boxes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
