[havanaclub]

Hot one today, 99F here in Texas. Iced Black Rifle Coffee and a San Juan this afternoon while the little man and momma both took a nice long nap. 

I gotta find that coffee. Btw you crush San Juans on the daily

El Principe, LGR May 18 (I think).

My observation, apart from how delicious these are, is that I've never had a CC where the burn was so consistently perfect.  I haven't smoked a ton of them (a box purchase is in my future) but every damn one of them has burned laser straight, not a single touchup needed.  Am I just lucky, or are they usually like that?  One thing I notice is that they've all had quite thin, even fragile wrappers - and I suspect that's a big part of the reason for the unerringly even burn.

Construction-wise, they are very consistent.

UBM nov 18. Hq from our host. Just fabulous.

Is that an Edmundo? Or DE? I have been eyeing a box of Edmundo. I love the PE and would like the same delivered in a slightly longer vitola. Not a fan of the DE for some reason.

#2 it’s a bad angle of my angle cut. I know lots of Monti hate here but these #2’s are always on point as long as I have smoked them. Never ever had a bad one. Maybe it’s b/c of my love for coffee but the retrohale tastes like a good espresso with a hint of cream. Literally a 92 pointer or better every single stick ! To me this is perfect size I feel the same about Edmundo and DE as you. I also enjoy the #4 quite a bit seems to deliver similar flavors to my pallet.

First smoke in a while. Figured I’d break in the new ashtray my friend got me while she was in Cuba. BRE JUN 17 Connie 1.

Actually, in my car I’m not that refined....  ?   I drop ash in a cup with a 1/2” of water in it   And I NEVER set my stick down!!  

That ashtray I recently finished and had it in the car to deliver to a physician that had requested it and was supposed to buy it today.   And then he backed out.   Said “his girlfriend won’t let him buy anything right now”.   What a story...   

I was just using it as a prop because it was there...

Por Larrañaga Montecarlo. Man I’ve been loving these! The size is maybe my favorite size. I’ve been wanting to try to the La Gloria Cubana Medaille d’Or No. 4 to see how these two would differ.

A Montecristo Especial while on holiday in Mexico. I haven’t touched this box in the last year and it’s amazing what a difference it can make.

What a beautiful ashtray! Would be perfect for the garage or man cave

Sancho Panza Eslavo 2014 - Edición Regional Serbia (circa 2015 - thanks @ayepatz!)

I humbly thank @ayepatz for the opportunity to smoke a cigar I never thought I'd have the chance to.

The Sancho Panza Eslavo was released in 2015 as the first Serbian Regional Edition (and only one so far). Kalian Caribe is the distributor for the domestic and duty free market of Bulgaria, Albania, Armenia and Macedonia, Republic of Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Eslovenia. Faced with the choice of what marca to choose and vitola for this Regional Edition, most retailers would opt for safe choices such as a Petit Robusto or similar in the Ramon Allones (39 releases since 2005), Bolivar (32 releases since 2005) or Punch (22 releases since 2005) marcas. Sancho Panza is not a marca one associates with Regional Editions, and for that matter, neither is the Nro.109 size. Furthermore, distributing these in a 50 cab box had the hallmark for a marketing disaster, yet, the exact opposite occurred, 1000 boxes (some sources state 1200) of 50 cabs sold out quicker than the proverbial 'blink of an eye'.

I believe it's this quality Nro.109 vitola that caught the eye of enthusiasts with this release. The dimensions of a 50 ring gauge cigar by 184 mm or 7¼ inches in length with its distinctive tapered head used to be the size of the Partagas Lusitanias and Ramon Allones Gigantes until 1976. In 1995 it came back with the Partagás 109 that was part of the 150 Aniversario Humidor, with repeat appearances in 2000 and 2010 for the 155th and 165th anniversaries, respectively. Hoyo de Moneterrey received a Lusitanias of its own in 1999 as part of the Siglo XXI Millennium Humidor, and then in 2003 the Hoyo de Monterrey Extravaganza used the format. Since that time it's been used in five Regional Editions:

    2007 — Edmundo Dantes El Conde 109 (ER Mexico)
    2009 — Bolívar 5ta Avenida (ER Alemania)
    2011 — Punch Clasicos (ER Suiza)
    2014 — Diplomáticos Bushido (ER Asia Pacifico)
    2014 — Sancho Panza Eslavo (ER Serbia)

(Source: https://halfwheel.com/sancho-panza-eslavo-er-serbia-2014/119439)

Like the Diplomaticos Bushido released in the same year and with the same dimensions, the SP Eslavo was reputed and hyped at its original release date. Having smoked this one, how does it compare to a normal Sancho Panza release? Well, in comparison to an aged Sancho Panza Molinos, Non Plus or Belicosos, for example, you may expect some floral notes and/or creaminess, however, this Eslavos cigar was closest in character to a recent SP Belicocos. This was evident in the quality toasted tobacco and bread flavours, combined with the typical wood and salt one gets from Sancho Panza. One thing that was unique was the deeper roasted walnut or cashew nut flavour on this.

If you ever have the chance to source this cigar, kindly do yourself a favour and don't deny yourself the opportunity. You'll be glad you were so kind to yourself!
