Vegas Robaina Famosos AEM May 2015

I had a Vegas Robaina Famosos from this box a few days ago so I felt I should reach for another to compare the first one. At four years rested I must say that I have found the first two cigars smoked quite intriguing.

This second one had a light chocolate and raisin sweetness throughout, the main flavours were the grass or pure tobacco flavour and baking spice which overall made this cigar quite subtle on the palate and a pleasure to nub.

I don't feel inclined to have this cigar in my 'go-to' rotation though as after smoking two thus far, it lacks a dominant strong flavour which other cigars in my rotation possess (e.g. the caramel in a Por Larranaga Montecarlos or the molasses in a San Cristobal de La Habana El Principe et al.). However, I do think that for a change-of-pace option this type of cigar is a superb choice.

Did you ever (and I'm guessing you have - I mean, you're here) smoke one of those sticks that make you say "Now see - that's why I smoke CC?"  I have a long history with Boli PCs - it was the second box (or maybe third) I ever bought.  There's something so ineffably Cuban about them when they're right - rich deep barnyard, leather, tart citrus, sweet prunes, fresh biscuit.  Strong, but an iron fist in a velvet glove.  For someone who lives in a country where pricing makes B&M shopping a non-starter, the chance to access aged stock is a rare delight. 

My only problem with these cigars is that the wrappers are so leathery and oily ("lovely stains on the paper" is how Rob described them in the 24:24) that they just won't burn straight.  I mean, your hand is coated with oils as the heat of the fuse releases them.  If you've ever owned a wonderful old leather jacket that's still in great shape you know what the wrappers on these feel like - somehow simultaneously smooth and textured, abjectly sensual to the touch.     

C&C with LGR AGO 18 Montecarlos, courtesy of the splendidly generous @JohnS.  Definitely love these with the lighter wrappers.

JUN 15 H. Upmann Magnum 50 payed with w Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale. Man this cigar is smoking nice. Amazing what a year or two of aging will do to a cigar. Have a good weekend all.

MC#4 delivering the goods. Overcast, drizzle, windy, and despite fighting with the burn, it was a good smoke. Cheers

First Connie A (ever) from the EOFY sale - definitely understand why these get such praise! Happy weekend!

OPA AGO 09, a PCC Vintage box.  This is one of the few remaining sticks I have left.  Normally I wouldn't choose a Partagas to smoke in the morning, but with the mellowness of a decade's aging, it's quite wonderful. 

Hope you are all doing well!

I have had the robusto as well. Both I’d say are great cigars and I’m not a huge Davidoff fan.

Tonight my very first Cohiba Corona Especiale, from UBM DIC 18. It’s all potential at the moment and I’ll try and leave it at least a year to the next one, although there were flashes of brilliance and I enjoyed it more and more as it smoked down. Love this format!

El Rey del Mundo Demi Tasse MLU Dic 2018

The previous one I had was plugged so I couldn't help myself, I had to have another! Thankfully this wasn't plugged but it was a little tight on the draw. Still, it was a lot better than my previous El Rey del Mundo Demi Tasse from the box!

At only 6 to 7 months old, this was typically 'toasty', fruity, shortbread and honey on the edges. Quite nice flavour-wise but I have to admit that I've had better Demi Tasses in the past.
