FOH'ers Daily Smoke

Punch DC from 97 or 98. I don’t exactly recall as it was in my singles box. I’ve had better.

I smoked one of two of these that [mention=8371]canadianbeaver[/mention] gave me. Beautiful cigar. Such a nice size too. 
 
Having a regular rotation epicure especial with some run of the mill Glenlivet 12 from my oddly beaten up flask I keep on hand for the quick grab and go to the cigar lounges that don’t serve drinks. 

Is that a kuiu flask?

It’s made by a company called wentworth.

I’ve had one of those once.  The flavor wasn’t bad.  The only negative was that little bits of tobacco kept falling out of the cigar onto my tongue.

Partagás Serie du Connaisseur No.3 circa 2001 (thanks @Fuzz!)

I am again indebted to the generosity of @Fuzz to gift this special cigar to me, as it has long being discontinued (circa 2010). The Partagas Serie du Connaisseur No.3 is a forum favourite, a much-missed skinny with a delectable 35 ring gauge by 143 mm length (or 5⅝ inches). Otherwise known by its factory name of 'Carlotas', how I wish this size and this cigar could be re-released. Alas, one can wish!

This had a similar profile to the Partagas 8-9-8 from 2006 which preceded this cigar, albeit the Serie du Connaisseur No.3 was much milder, had more sourdough, coffee and notes of pepper or spice and was a touch drier, hence why it was 'crispy' or 'toasty' throughout and why it drew a lot of smoke and burned quicker.

If El Pres and Hamlet have aimed to replicate this flavour profile in the N3 Carlota release this year then I tip my hat off to them, for this cigar has a nice profile and deserves to be brought back, in my opinion.

UEB SEP 17 PLPC. Getting much sweeter .... still no caramel but def sugar and nice toasted tobacco. Got better the deeper i smoked it as well 

cheers

You don’t see these being smoked very often (like, sadly, most rare cigars). LFDC Short Robusto - the first of the LFDC RE.

Extremely enjoyable.

I watched the Toronto Raptors get their rings and raise the championship banner and then the World Series. Wanted something special to smoke so picked a Hamlet Flying Pig from 2015. 

It did not disappoint, full flavor and full bodied A great cigar would be an understatement.

Another fantastic ALO ENE 17 RGPC this afternoon with my usual latte. These have been rich in flavor and fragrant, like a blend of a Monte 4, Monte Media Corona, and savory wood. Hot day. No breeze. Fragrant smoke curling all around me.  Please don't go, summer. 

Earlier today had this '19 HUHC with this dark wrapper. Bold flavors of dark roast, baking spices evident, and a sugar sweetness.  Flavorful cigar.  Could use some more rest but already good with a latte.  Thanks to @Thirds for this one!

Foundation Highclere Castle. Curious if the blenders were going for a QDO Corona Claro vibe, as had some similarities. Either way, decent mild NC. Although needed the perfecdraw for it, so maybe they were trying to imitate a Cuban ?

I was given an unexpected day off today. Rain caused flooding in Cairo so lots of people have been unable to get to work. This Petit Edmundo was certainly a great way to spend a lunch in the sun!

Punch Punch 48 2016 - Especialista en Habanos Exclusivo LGR Ene 2018

I have enjoyed the Hermosos No.3-sized Punch 48 from time-to-time since its release in mid-2017. I've generally found them to be more nutty than the regular production Corona Gorda-sized Punch Punch and have less sour cream and cloved spice notes in general.

This Punch 48 had cedar, nut and a gorgeous citrus twang to it but it was let down by some bunched leaves that wouldn't burn properly towards the end if the first third. This lasted until just after the middle third, so not long, but it was enough to char the cigar and it induced a slight bitter flavour which remained until the end, which I pitched early, just before the halfway point of the end third.

It's a shame as I've had very good to outstanding Punch 48 in the last two years and I'm hoping that this cigar turns out to be an anomaly.
