FOH'ers Daily Smoke

[LLC]

I took this ABO ABR 18 Mag 46 out of the humidor last Friday. It felt like a tent peg so I left it out hopefully that dry boxing would help. I decided to have it last night and it still felt like a tent peg. Turns out it was near perfect construction and draw. Best one by far out of a box that has been hit or miss so far. As soon as I was done I took another one out to have later in the week.



After a long day at a leadership conference I’m relaxing with a Monsdale. These continue to be the best, most consistent long and skinny customs coming out of Cuba.

Enjoyed this TOU SEP 17 Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo Du Depute yesterday after lunch. 

First time, so paired with an Aranciata, which was adequate, but I advise regular orange juice which seems to bring out flavors that much more.

 It was medium bodied, and to my taste buds cedar and a mix of floral flavors underscored by a subtle sweetness. Final third had some black coffee come into play. Had a creamy texture throughout which was very enjoyable on a hot day (90F). 

I have one more thanks to @blakeLA and will be looking forward to trying it again after a few weeks rest. 

Nice!  Hope it was a good one

Not my usual morning smoke, but I wanted to check in on this box of EPM ABR 18 Connie As. Surprise! Too young. Burn a bit ragged, but the real problem was that the creamy, nutty Upmann flavours have not developed yet, and it just came across as rather generic. Away they go for a few years.

Second attempt. LGC D no.5 ER Espana BOP DIC 17. Yowza. Really interesting smoke. High floral tones and balsa wood, flashes of lemon and lime peel (v unusual), touch of cumin and a rapidly building body. Got quite spicy by halfway, and it’s slow smoking for a short robusto. Would love to have more of these, but alas it’s my only one.

Monte 2.  Tried the orange juice and didn't notice any marked differences.  Will try again. Cigar started out heavenly - coffee, smooth, no harshness to speak of.  The 2nd half was a bit of a roller coaster between bitterness and baking spices.  Of note, construction was one of the best I've ever had with a CC. Only had one ash drop off over the whole cigar.

Been keeping this in the humidor for less than a year; started off with light cedar. No bite or pepper to this cigar, which I don’t mind since it’s a morning smoke for me.

Also getting notes of cherry and slight peanut butter. Tons of smoke output. Draw is perfect.

 

Second third: hay, cedar, and smooth. Still ton of smoke. No issues with the burn

 

Still smoking

San Cristóbal de la Habana La Fuerza LGR Jun 2018

The last San Cristobal de La Habana La Fuerza I had was from the 2018 FoH Xmas Sampler and it proved to be a real 'fizzer' because it was smoked on a wet and humid summer's night and subsequently it was a tad bitter and harsh in places. Thankfully, this was a lot better!

The La Fuerza is noted as been similar to the El Principe in blend, only more muted. I would agree with this sentiment. I find the El Principe is more rich and intense, a 'no-brainer go-to' cigar, for me. This La Fuerza was still molasses sweet, had light coffee tones, minimal cocoa and an 'airy cake' or pancake texture to it throughout which I really loved. If they are consistently like this then I'd have no hesitation in having another, and soon!

Double Edmundo from a Fohnies win a while back, tonight. What a PERFECT example, wow wish I had a box!! And a JL2 last night. A chocolate rabbit may have been sacrificed with the JL?

Another disappointing RE. Way worse than the first one of these I had.

Torreon - all is well with the world again.

I absolutely love the San Cris Torreons "EML ABR 14" from the jar I bought.

Two killer vintage jar sticks. Probably the first really great ERDM CS I had - ever. Vintage band fell off on that one lol

Not many fans of these but I like them. Wrapper did actually burn
