Por Larrañaga Montecarlos LGR Abr 2018 (thanks @Luca!)

Gifted by @Luca (thank you), this darker-wrappered Por Larranaga Montecarlos was intended to allow me to make a comparison to the lighter-wrappered LGR Oct 2017 Por Larranaga Montecarlos box I've been going through at the moment.

In general, I must concede that I prefer lighter-wrappered Habanos cigars where possible. This is because of my preference for milder (flavoured) smoking experiences. This is just my general rule and they are exceptions to the rule, both in terms of smoking experiences and preferences across marcas and vitolas.

In relation to Por Larranaga Montecarlos, I find darker-wrappered varieties tend to be more dominant in wood and spice and lighter-wrappered varieties tend to be more dominant in caramel, or just sweeter and less woody. This was the case with this cigar. It certainly had caramel, but it was more woody than my LGR Oct 17 recent PLM's and had a little spice to it too, although it wasn't 'toasty' in any way. When they are like this I'm prone to rest them until the wood and spice recedes and the blend builds in caramel more. When that occurs is a matter of personal judgement through checking on the box periodically, perhaps every 3 to 6 months as a minimum. In the meantime, I still enjoyed this cigar and appreciated its blend of flavours.

Connie 1 and black coffee

Fantastic stick. Graham cracker, coffee, cinnamon, nutmeg, touch of ginger, nuttiness, citrus and cream. 

Add a siglo II to end the day

'12 Fuente Anejo Shark.  I prefer Havanas, but these never disappoint.  Plenty of nicotine to settle a heavy dinner.  My wife also always calls these out as smelling extra luxurious and rich.

CORO is always one of the best CC Robustos in the market! You use the same size of my Stinky Cigar Ashtray, standard 4-stirrups! I really like this cigar ashtray so much due to its deep bowl, size and 4 flat stirrups for herf (price is really cheap too)!

Thanks to FoH, @El Presidente, Lisa and crew for this H Upmann from a winnings draw.

This is my second Upmann anejados and they are pretty darn good imo.

Monte Media Corona, RAU JUL 16. Almost ROTT, so flavours perhaps a bit compressed. First third...

...only joking, there are no thirds in a half corona. In comparison to a very smart no.2 last week, this is much less refined. More earthy than cocoa, and more mongrel than creamy. Tasty nonetheless, with plenty to interest the senses, and a nice relaxing smoke. Medium body, about half an hour before the back end gets a touch bitter.

Of the three fatty half coronas, I would put the RyJ Petit Royale at the head of the pack for now. But they are all useful little things.

Start the morning off with an HdM Epi 2.

Ma sœur @canadianbeaver made me drool with her 12 y/o RG coronas, so I had to grab a less interesting 1 y/o RGPC. Still delicious. ?

Evening MC#2. A lose fill and wind tunnel but what else to do with it? I hope it burns OK but the initial light was sketchy. Flavors a bit schizophrenic but the dance has started. Cheers

Well, I got face slapped at the half.. the canoe was corrected by the flavor just got real nasty. I had to get another partner fast to build back my confidence. An MC#4 PSP REG MAY 18. And she is a beauty. Oh, a bit  firm but what a flavor bomb. The evening saved.

Break the other day

Had a flat the same Sunday late day, pulled up randomly asked for air. The man said he would fix it, 30 pesos less than 1 U.S. on a Sunday, Who would do something like that in the States ?
