FOH'ers Daily Smoke

[Duxnutz]

This week. Getting towards the end of my supply of Serie du connoisseur no.2’s, Bolivar CE?, Half corona and now having a Tatuaje. Can’t remember last time I had one of those. 

Brought a shelter dog home yesterday. Trying to come up with a name. Currently goes by ‘scooter’ but doesn’t even respond to that. 

Any ideas on helping a skittish dog (9 month puppy?) settle in?

La Flor de Cano Grandiosos 2013 - Edición Regional Asia Pacifico ROL Oct 2013

If you aren't aware, the thinking on our forum behind Asia Pacifico Regional releases is that they generally need 5 years to 'open up'. After having this La Flor de Cano Grandiosos today, I couldn't express that notion more adamantly myself. The only recent exception to this maxim that I can recall would be the 2014 Diplomaticos Bushido, which was exemplary from the 'get-go' when it finally came out in 2015.

If you have a 10-count box of this hiding away, do yourself a favour and smoke a stick to see how they are coming along. This was all butter cake and cream, floral notes, almond nuts and spice towards the back half. There was some complexity too, with strength and flavours picking up gradually through the thirds.

What a great cigar! However, be mindful of under-filling as these can be prone to that. Construction and draw on this was impeccable all the way.

Finally got to try the Quai d'Orsay No. 54. Although the brand is mild, the young age gives it a nice kick! Quite like it

HUP MAG46 for review weekend. A bit young right now. But still a pleasant smoke. The wrapper and construction were excellent.

Punch punch reg sep 2018. Plug plug it should be called. Totally unsmokable. Almost exploded my head trying. Gave up and took apart definitely a long filler at least. 

Went back for a April 2017 RGPC and IS amazing ..”creamy wood twang earth and hay “ isn’t that a band ? very classy throughout so far

ULA Jun 14 E2 from @Markspring1978  Thanks for sharing this. Was very interesting to compare it to my box from May 18, which is the only other E2 I've tried. 

Which did you like better? 

Also what is your box code of the 18s that you have?

Arrived at the cottage.  First night mag 46.  First morning Lusi in the sun.

MSU. I don't think the 18s are ready yet. Dark oily wrappers, more down time needed. But I think they will be amazing in time. The 14 was much more mild than I thought it would be. If you asked me what stick is better today, it's the 14. But I think the 18 will be better than the 14 in a couple of years. Just my 2 cents.

Celebrating my graduation from Princeton University with a 1991 Cuban Davidoff- been saving this for three years. Firm draw, but delicious classic Cuban wood notes accentuated by faded black pepper. An excellent vintage smoke.

TOS DIC15 - fantastic coming into the second tercio.

Weekend has got underway nicely

An Alex Genios custom roll and a SLR RE

[Islandboy]

Rio Seco, just my second from the box. Like the first, there’s an intense sweetness of gingerbread, joined by a nice barnyard twang. Tastes great now, but I’m betting these are gonna really do something special with 3-5 years down. The ingredients all seem to be there. Aloha Friday gang!

Edit: Intense sweetness remains throughout, but in the final third, this takes on a distinct flavor reminiscent of apple strudel. Quite delicious.

Had several punch punch like that myself. Perfect draw has saved many of them

Got home from Seattle at 2:30am and managed not to hear what happened in the Raptors game

Watched the game on the deck and enjoyed a Puntillas. No picture as it’s now 4:45am but I’ll have something special tomorrow to celebrate a big win. Need one more win for the Championship.
 

After 3 hours of sleep got up and did some stuff around the house. Now a TEB OCT 08 Bolivar Simones RE Canada . I don’t reach into this box often but it seemed appropriate to celebrate the big Raptors win

Boli #1 2015, -struggled with this box over the years, never really cared for them that much. So experimented with a little extra drying out after opening the tubes. Result is a very good smoke.

stored in tubes, caps on for 3 years,

2 months cap off

24hr dry box. 

Beautiful cigar
