Popular Post JohnS Posted January 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2020 Partagás Serie D No.4 Meg Abr 2016 I originally picked these up in a half-box purchase from a 24:24 listing in 2016. Looking over my notes in my Cuban Cigar Website inventory, I don't think I scored any of the ones I smoked above an average score prior to 2018. I smoked one a few months ago and it was easily a 92 to 93 point cigar. This was similar. It had a coffee and leather core, was strong on sourdough (which I liked) but differed to my previous D4 from this box in that there was a nice tingle of paprika spice on the palate for much of the cigar. Auf weidersehen, yes...bye for now, as this was the last cigar from this acquisition. It was a nice ride and it may just be time soon to look into getting another box of Partagas Serie D No.4. Thankfully, I know they'll be around! Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.2 ABO Jun 2018 I must say, I really, really enjoyed this. This was a quality light and mild Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.2 with distinctive flavours evident - light milk cocoa, cedar, clove, cream and vanilla, which really resonated with me. The fact is that not all Hoyo de Monterrey cigars are like this, however, when they are, you find yourself eminently glad you have them in your humidor for the odd occasion. 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post LLC Posted January 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2020 All of the of the Bolivar Libertadores I’ve had are from 2013 and the current box I’m working through has like the others been very good. The one I had tonight was one of a couple of singles I bought in December from the LCDH in Toronto when they were having their closing sale. I don’t know the box code but it is obviously much younger and was outstanding. I may have to look for some more boxes if this is how good the current ones are smoking.

Popular Post Islandboy Posted January 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2020 Celebrating an unexpected but very welcome turn of events on this Thursday evening, with a Sinful X. The same size as a Perfecxion X, it’s cinnamon and vanilla decadence. I think it’s just a well aged Perfecxion X. No one on the internet can really tell me what sets it apart from Perfecxion X, or what makes it sinfully expensive, but I’m really enjoying it...that’s all that counts. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted January 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2020 El Rey del Mundo Choix Suprême MLU Nov 2018 This El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme (and please do kindly pronounce choix like the French - shwa and not choy!) was picked up in a 24:24 quarter pack offering of light-wrappered PSP ERdM CS' in April this year. I smoked my first one in June, my second one in October and my third one in December. The first one was superb, the second one had construction issues and the third one was simply glorious. Today's example was also glorious. Like the ERdM Choix Supreme I smoked a little over a month ago, this Hermosos No.4-sized cigar (48 ring gauge x 127 mm or 5 inches in length) had a wonderful aroma and was full of mild, sweet flavours such as candied almond nut, shortbread, honey and citrus delicacies which again delighted me from beginning to end! At around 12 months of age, I am again perplexed as to how approachable this was for an ERdM cigar. The brand is reputed for benefiting from long-term aging and perhaps this was a major factor in its decline in popularity. However, after smoking this Choix Supreme today, I have to reconsider smoking these more often, and younger! Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de Rio Seco ABO Mar 2019 According to those recent 24:24 listings, El Pres has asserted that the Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo Rio de Seco is possibly the hottest new release selling cigar right now for Habanos S.A. Again, after smoking this today, I believe it. Before I discuss the flavours let me reiterate the dimensions of this cigar. Yes, it's 56 ring gauge but the 140 mm length belies how big it is, when I got my quarter pack I remarked to myself that I distinctly remember the Le Hoyo de San Juan, despite being 54 ring gauge, being bigger. I think the fact that the San Juan is 10 mm longer makes it seem bigger. El Pres consistently mentions in his 24:24 listings that young Rio de Seco has a gingerbread spice and cream characteristic to it. I confidently concur with this view. Unlike other Le Hoyo line cigars, the cedar or 'woodiness' in this is diminished and the cream and sweetness is more amplified for its age, in comparison. The San Juan also had more tea notes and a crispy 'toastiness' to its flavours when young for me, and as was the case for the last one I smoked, this cigar was not like that. Instead it had a very strong ginger and licorice-type sweetness, cream, a hint of cedar and a little cloved spice. (This was) A delight from beginning to end! Punch Punch 48 2016 - Especialista en Habanos Exclusivo LGR Ene 2018 When I first tried this cigar (when it was first released) I noted the roasted nut profile in it that was so dominant, after around 18 months the peanut profile is still there, but like my last few Punch 48 this year, it doesn't taste roasted anymore. This cigar was the final one from this box. It had nut, but like I've stated above, it wasn't a roasted profile. A Hermosos No.3, at 48 ring gauge x 140 mm (or 5½ inches), the size now seems more akin to a coronas, especially since the Robustos (50 ring gauge) is now the average-sized Habanos vitola these days. This cigar was much like the last few I had in 2019. The nut profile was definitely there, but as I stated above, it wasn't roasted because the sour citrus twang that intermingled with a gorgeous light cream was the main flavour I picked up in the first third and middle thirds. In the final third the spice very much took over, like in a youthful Partagas Serie D No.4, but like my last one, it was not overwhelming and so I nubbed it as far as I could go. I look forward to opening my new box and trying my next Punch 48 soon. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
