Revisiting a Principe after a few more months. Flavor was okay but this one was seriously plugged. Will try again a few months.

Starting off the day with a “16 Esplendido.  

The first 1/3 has been excellent, bursting with flavor.  Hopefully the last 2/3 are equally as good.

RA Club Allones – LAU DIC-15 (FFC) 

Cooked a nice steak dinner the other night for the fiancé and I. The cigar paired quite well with steak, wine and bourbon.

  

 

A few from this weekend. 

06 - Monte no 5, Tatuaje El Truinfador Lancero (Otis making an appearance), Non-Plus and a 16 - Punch Punch that burned very weird but was exploding with flavor.

2013 Short. I have a few more boxes with this date. They are buttery smooth but I think 7 years in the Shorts is max. Time to smoke!

HdM du Prince ALT ENE 13. Just a nice 45- 50 minute cigar, it’s like a bonfire, no other cigar gives me that flavour.

Punch 8-9-8 2018 - Edición Regional Asia Pacifico UBM Jun 2019

As I have mentioned in previous reviews on this cigar, what is all this fuss with the latest Asia-Pacific Regional Release, the Punch 8-9-8? Why all the hype? Why should you seek this cigar out? Questions, questions, questions...

The Punch 8-9-8 is the 2018 Regional Edition for the Asia-Pacific market. What is exciting about it is its dimensions, 43 ring gauge by 170 mm (or 6.7 inches) in length, an uncommon dalias of which the only two regular production cigars, the Cohiba Siglo V and the Partagas 8-9-8 are produced sparingly at the current moment, and this despite the fact that they are global brands.

Now, beside its vitola dimensions, the packaging for this product has broken tradition in relation to its name. You see, an 8-9-8 cigar is so named because it usually comes in a (varnished) cab ribboned with eight cigars at the bottom, nine cigars in the middle and eight cigars at the top. Well may some of you say why not a 3-4-3 varnished cab? Since when has Habanos S.A. listened to consumers anyway? However, in this case its the Regional distributor who decided to bring this out in a glorious varnished 10-count box with a clip or latch. I hear you though...if only this came ribboned in a 8-9-8 partition in a cab!

How was this cigar in regards to other Punch cigars? Well, this is now the third Punch 8-9-8 I've had and again, for me, it strongly replicated the Punch 48 Habanos Specialist release from 2016. It had strong notes of roasted peanut with some chocolate fudge or marshmallow. The marked difference was the strength, which for me was around medium.

If you are amenable to Punch as a marca then I'd suggest you seek this out and do so while these are still around.

How's the Old Forrester? Haven't tried that one.

This is one of those boxes that looks pretty iffy - pale, scruffy wrappers - but smokes great. JLS2, from MOL MAR 18. So full of flavour: over medium, rich orange cake, burnt like a charm. Sauternes, fennel tea, flapjack and ginger biscuit in the background. Altogether: yum.

EPM ENE 18 Monte 5. Old reliable, always a 9/10.

C&C this morning. This LGC 4 is smoking an absolute treat. Cream, fruit and some white pepper. Final 3rd some cake aspects on the palate.

It's a good one to keep around as a sipper. 57%. It about double the cost of their 100 proof though, which is just a fantastic value bottle.

Probably why I haven't tried it yet! Thanks.
