FOH'ers Daily Smoke

Nice end to the day with a MUS SEP 13 Cohiba Siglo IV. First with an Americano and then some Port. Into the last third now and it has been outstanding.

Was a bit disappointed with the Monte 80th. Hopefully, the rest will be better

OPS NOV 15 Vegas Robaina Don Alejandro (i think Don Alejandro I'm not too familiar with this Marca, but it's a DC) that I got in a trade a while back. Pairing with a little Woodford Reserves Bourbon.

Trinidad La Trova 2017 - La Casa del Habano Exclusivo RAG Ago 2017

What cigar would you offer your dear cigar enthusiast buddies to celebrate your son's 21st birthday? For me this isn't a hypothetical question as I needed a quality cigar to commemorate the actual occasion for my own son...you know, the type of cigar that your dear friends talk about for years to come. Thankfully the Trinidad La Trova 'fit the bill' perfectly.

The La Trova is a recent addition to the Trinidad line-up, albeit it's not technically regular production, but an LCDH exclusive release I'm hoping and I'm confident that like previous LCDH releases in other marcas (such as the Partagas Culebras and Salomones, H.Upmann Noellas and Royal Robusto, Ramon Allones Superiores, Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure de Luxe and Bolivar Libertador for example) will be around for years to come. At 52 ring gauge x 166 mm (or 6½ inches) in length, it's a big cigar which will take you a good 2 hours to smoke at least, but what a smoke it will be!

The main flavour that dominated this cigar was butter...it literally screamed "butter" from the 'get-go' and did not let up. Likewise, at only two years old, it was remarkably refined and mild and these characteristics made the cigar so overwhelmingly appealing to the senses. El Pres has stated in his 24:24 listings that this cigar is like a slightly burnt butter and golden oats cookie and I would heed that this is a good way to describe it. Together with the butter, there is a savoury or umami aspect to flavour, like salt or succulent well-cooked steak as well as your quintessential Trinidad milk coffee and dough, although these two latter flavours are much more subtle in the blend. As I smoked through the cigar there was some notes of leather which again, made this very easy to nub.

The difference in this La Trova tonight in comparison to the one I smoked around 4 months ago was that this lacked the spice of its predecessor and it was nowhere near as 'earthy'. However, there was spice on nose through the retrohale, and more so after the first third.

The consensus from our friends, who shared in smoking this cigar from this box tonight, was universal and overwhelming, effusive praise. Yes...it will be a cigar event that will be long-remembered fondly!

HdM Epicure Especial from a trade with @slowsmoke

This particular cigar has had a lot of rest and is just a wonderful summer day smoke.

Thanks @slowsmoke!

 

Mid day breaks call for some good cigars.

Monte Especiales #2, thanks to @Thirds

And a late '18 Siglo I, well rested and tasting great. Both enjoyed with lattes, both winners.
