FOH'ers Daily Smoke

Coronas senior tubo

A delicious H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 1, something 2018 box code (don't have it handy, LOL).

Important thing is that it's pretty well rested, and smoking beautifully.  The flavors are all there, and it pairs well with a glass of orange juice.

I'm having a tough time loving HDM. The San Juan at times shows stone fruits that makes me think this marca can be awesome. But mostly I detect bland flavors. Am I wrong?

The short answer is no. The long answer is that Hoyo de Monterrey is a light-strength and can be a light-bodied marca which errs itself more easily to blandness.

Confirmed that I still don’t care much for Encantos.

The Dip 2 afterwards was better than the one yesterday (was gifted by a buddy earlier tonight). Still no box purchase for me.

Have you tried the Epicure No. 1? I don't really like the #2, but the No.1 I've had has been spectacular, with coffee bean and cream and fruit.

I am not a huge fan of HdM either. Though I have some aged DCs I've yet to try...

I *think* I've tried the Epi 1, but don't remember. I've tried 3 or 4 dif HdMs and none have really wowed me. I will keep giving them more chances as I'm not fully convinced.

Another LGR JUL 17 El Principe. Reliably delicious and surely one of the great value smokes. Sweet and complex.

I’ve been meaning to try these. This reminder put me over the edge. Box time it is!

You won’t regret it. This seems like one of the cases where the smallest vitola of the marca is the best.

Yep...also Epi 2 Reserva Cosecha (no different than regular production). I have aging cabinets of DCs that are consistently bland, Especials...bland. The San Juans from time to time display some amazing character (stone fruits), but very inconsistently. Just not a great Marca for me.

Sitting on the Plaza in Burgos, Spain passing siesta hours with a wonderful little Cuaba one-off from 2001 I snagged this morning for half price since it was a little banged up. Not bad for 4.50 Euro. Don’t remember the vitola.

Capping off a legendary day traveling from the North Coast Basque Country down into the Ribera Del Duero wine region in this fine country.

Punch Churchill 2000 - just one stick left purchased this morning at my first stop.

VIVA ESPANA!

I haven’t been on the site much in the last couple of years and have really missed the camaraderie. Two surgeries in two years kinda took me out. Finally starting to enjoy my smokes again and living off of aging inventory...Here’s of a few of my recent smokes...

Cheer!
