SUE AGO 14 VR Short Robaina RE Andorra. Too cold for a longer smoke, so it's a good night for a minuto.

Back from a few great days in Havana. Enjoyed a MEG MAY 17 Connie A tonight with an Americano.

Another home roll. All Seco and viso, no ligero. Tasty and light. She was a bit ugly though.

I bought a couple prior to switching to Cubans.  Probably 2016.  Should I burn it or burn it?

 

 

[WABOOM]

I'll buy them from you...

EML JUL 15, San Cristobal de La Havana El Principe 

Another midnight cigar. Very still outside in my backyard, no wind, no birds singing, just tranquility and quiet.  This El Principe rewarded me with sweetness all the way to the end. Sugarcane water, like lightly sugared water. Towards the nub, some hay flavor showed up with the sugarcane.  What a sweet tasting and light cigar, matching the sweetness of the silence of the night. 

Anyone get sugarcane? 

Bingo! The El Principe is famous for it. On FoH it's also categorised as 'molasses' quite often, which is a by-product of turning sugarcane into sugar.

Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de San Juan EML Jul 2015

At 3-and-a-half years of age, this Le Hoyo line cigar is only just staring to develop some creamy texture to it. It was mainly cedar, tea and a little cloved spice, certainly very different to the regular Hoyo de Monterrey line which I find has more light cocoa-type flavours to it. With time, I envisage that this will build in its creamy-textured flavours and be even more enjoyable to smoke.

Smoking my way through that Belux humidor I recently acquired. The Fonseca the other day was too mild. This Fabulosos (my first ever) was great - it seems they paid more attention in the earlier years of the RE program, compared to all the new Duke, Genios, and Montesco vitolas of recent years.

 

Belux humidor part 3

JL Don Jose - outstanding cigar. The best of the 5 so far. I think I actually have a sealed box somewhere that I forgot about.

Very young, and very nice. Rich and mild, a good combination.

Celebrating 1 year on FOH. Talisman UAO OCT 2017  Draw perfect Great mouth feel Burn got a little weird for a second at 1/3 but quickly fixed Nothing edgy except maybe the flaky ash All chocolate leather bread..... Excellent

Guessing this is the last cool night in FL probably for a long time. Really enjoy these Mag 54s. Wasn't a big fan of the 46s.

Just had a break time cigar with the magnum opus, H. Upmann Connie A and in this time, I managed to nubbed it down as there was nothing interrupted me to puff Connie A unlike 2nd Connie A ?. The only annoying thing was the fuel of my torch was suddenly ran out after lighting it up so I had to use Cedar sheets for touching up (burning was way more stable than before but still needed some touch ups). I really hate the soft flame since it is not only taking longer but also has higher risk of finger burning compared to my reliable side squeeze Xikar torch! ??

Total time spent: 1hr 53min (longer than first two Connie As)

P.S. Surprisingly, Earl Grey tea and Connie A pairs extraordinary well despite of the med-full strength of Connie A. Maybe because the flavour of Connie A is so smooth and refined that makes tea does not overpower the flavour of Connie A. ??

Lessons that I learned from Connie A:

1. Do not judge a book by its cover! The size of cigar itself does not indicate whether the cigar would be powerful, smooth or what so ever. The blending of the cigar, on the other hand is definitely indicator for how the cigars would taste like (e.g. Connie A has more smooth and refined flavour than Mag 46, Partagas Shorts is more intense than its bigger brothers).
2. There are many cigars that are great as or surpassing Cohiba such as LGC MdO 4, RASS and Upmann Connie A. So I encourage newcomers trying cigars from various marcas like Ramon Allones instead of just sticking with one particular marca or size (I myself did not expect to enjoy Panetelas as much as Robustos, Petit Coronas and Grand Coronas). Do not be afraid of the experiment which is one of the parts of CC journey ?!
3. Cigars that are 50+ RG are tend to stay cool mostly compared to others including standard 50 RG Robustos. I am surprised that Connie A never went too hot even at nubbing!
