Diplomáticos No.2 EML Ago 2014

This is the second Diplomaticos No.2 I've had from this box soon after I had my first a few days ago. Again, although it was just on 5 years rested, there was plenty of flavour and smoke to be had, and construction was absolutely faultless. In fact, I'd go 'out-on-a-limb' and admit that this cigar was the most capsicum (or bell pepper) rich Dip 2 I've ever had in my life. Coupled with the paprika spice, which was evident in spades, the sourdough barely got a look-in over 90 minutes of smoking.

In comparison to recent TOS 16/17 Diplomaticos No.2 I've enjoyed I've found these two EML 14 examples a lot more savoury and more 'punchy' in flavours. I'm now curious to examine a third from the box, as I'm inclined in my preferences to go for milder examples of Habanos cigars when I get the opportunity, yet paradoxically I don't mind too much when cigars are 'punchy' in their flavours like this either.

I feel the same way about San Juan’s  and Connie As. 

I find 1 in about 10 San Juans are compelling....the rest are bland. All the Connie A are consistently terrific.

I am showing no mercy 2015 San Juan .Very unique flavour. I am loving them  and well stocked ..2017 Robusto fairly average at this stage

Wife and baby out of town = double corona time. 2016 VR Don Alejandro, first from the box, absolutely superb.  Very complex, these are going to be off the chart with some more time. A little difficulty keeping it lit in the final 1/3 but I live in FL and the humidity is roughly 200%.  2+ hours smoke time, the dog was not entertained.

I know that these didn't sell well but Habanophiles should mourn the loss of this cigar.  Wonderful in every way.

Took the band off of this a while ago as I planned on smoking it and never did. I believe it’s a Monsdale

Sunday of a long weekend and had a great day.

SOM SEP 15 Punch Punch from a cab. Great as always and enjoyed it with a frozen mojito.


Dinner was some large bone in Ribeye’s with Alaskan King Crab Legs and a great 2006 Dead Arm Shiraz. Still a few years of good life left in these. Nice char in the steaks and rare on the inside.




I had a Siglo IV picked out for tonight but after that great dinner decided to grab a LBT MAY 12 Siglo VI and it was outstanding.

QdO Coronas Claro ETP AGO 16. 5 days in to vacation down in the Turks& Caicos and this is the standout of the bunch. Really coming together at the 3 year point. Just want to punch myself for only getting a sixer of these last year when the boxes were up for the taking before the rebrand. On a positive note, still have 4 left.

How'd you pull that off?  Inquiring minds would like to know.

That's the first picture I've seen of this cigar where I can actually see it taper down.

In Orlando tonight. It’s not a Habano but it’s a good stick.

Oddly this is the first cigar I've ever had with coffee. For some reason they never sounded good together even though I love them individually. I'm quite liking it!
 

This Party E2 EOT DIC 2016 is starting to shape up quite nicely after some down time. Enjoying it with some Drambui (I know, please don't judge me too harshly. )

Hate to say it was so plugged nothing was going to help it and it didnt but I didn't give up such creamy smoke

Beautiful clean toasted tobacco with a caramel almond taste with a hint of fruit in the retro! Impressed to see how this ages!

When Drambuie is involved I go with a Rusty Nail. In any case it looks like a great way to cap off the evening.

Cheers!

'15 Bolivar Libertador (as usual I forgot to check the box when I pulled it out to get the specifics) paired with a Block House Pumpkin Ale. A little early in the year for this beer to be on the shelves but wth why not. Cigar is great. As for the combo together im still trying to taste it out. Imo a couple fingers of Lagavulin 16 yr scotch would have paired much better with this cigar in particular. And, this ale would be better served with a RASS or maybe even a PSD or PSE. Nevertheless, still a formidable pairing. Have a good week all.

2nd from a 6'er and I think it's my first box worthy cigar of my 4 month CC tasting smorgasbord journey.  BBF from late 2018.  I may hold out until the Connie A and Edmundo are rested as I put them in the same size spectrum, but these are just so good young and show aging potential too.

Very different compare to the other DCs. And a nice change in rotation.

MC#2 perfect roll. Burned great. OCT 18 PSP of 24:24

 

 

Still amazes my how these RASS start right off on the lite with sweet fruitiness.. Look forward to some age on these. This one has a perfect draw and very thick smoke. I won’t be able to stay away. Cheers
