My, oh, my. That’s a good looking roll.  How was it?

Hey! That’s Mr. Met! ?

It is indeed Mr. Met - the “other” NY baseball team. I’ll tell you what - I haven’t had many No. 2s, but this is the best I’ve had, and although I’m still a novice, one of the best CCs I’ve ever had. Loving it!

Gordito - they have always delivered for me. One of the top 10% of RE in my book.

How was it? I'm holding a single and not sure whether to let it rest more or fire it up.

Sancho Panza Non Plus SRO Feb 2018

After spending the last year-and-a-bit going through an aged box of Sancho Panza Non Plus from 2011, today was my opportunity to break open a new box of early-2018 SP Non Plus. Ever since 5th Avenue circulated the 2019 discontinuations I've sought out a few boxes of these, much like I did with the H.Upmann Petit Coronas. (I wish I did the same for the Diplomaticos No.4 and No.5 though!)

This early-2018 SP Non Plus had a wonderful colorado maduro brown wrapper which was silky, the construction was perfect, the ash was perfect and the burn-line throughout this cigar was, dare I say it, again perfect. Alas, and this is a common problem with Sancho Panza Non Plus, the cigar was a little tight. Thankfully I was able to use my PerfecDraw tool to open up the draw and smoke it down to its thankful conclusion.

Charred wood, salt and floral notes were the main expression of this cigar, although the wood flavours were not crisp and toasty, they weren't bitter and burnt and the salt in this was minimal, not overpowering. In contrast to my 2011 SP Non Plus, those have been more creamy and softer on the blend, which is what you'd expect from aged stock. I am eager to sample one that is rolled more fairly, hopefully I will do so soon.

Phenomenal Monte PE via a trade. Thank you @mwaller

Capping off a lovely Saturday. Here is one for you English Gents who need a good laugh...

I’m on call, so I don't want to smoke any large vitola in case I get called back in.  I went with this Year of the Pig CoRo to start.

I have a few boxes. I have heard comments from members with much more cred than I have saying they thought they were ready to smoke but the 2 testers I lit up I thought needed some time. Just my 2 cents.

Given to me in a trade but wow you can tell it's got some age and it's so mellow and smooth. Citrus woodsy bomb.

'18 RyJ Petit Churchill courtesy of@TTP21, great pairing with a little scotch on the rocks.  Wide open draw, but easily remedied with a proper smoking technique.

Where'd you play??:

[havanaclub]

These don’t have the greatest reputation but it’s been the best one of the box so far. Gran Robusto. Had to determine if I should take advantage of a special sale... the answer was yes.

I saw that sale too and I am tempted

Love LGC. Do these hold up to the general marca?

OBM DIC 16 PSP Churchill. So pleased my last few have actually burned well. Time down and a month or so at low rH have helped them no doubt.

Punch Punch REG ENE 19. First one from this box after a few weeks in the humidor. Pleasant, but nothing special. Lots of wood with some floral sweetness and green tea bitterness. Got a little more complex after the first 1/3, but gave up after about the 1/2 way point. Draw and burn started becoming a distraction. I will forget about the rest until next year.
