Popular Post BigGuns Posted July 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2020 Sunday poolside custom that was gifted to me. Not sure of the provenance, but I am sure that it is remarkable. Earthy with a subtle cocoa to it...maybe some cherry? (I think....the articulation of flavor profiles and whatnot is something I’m working on). The soon-to-be-refilled Cadillac helps.

Popular Post Chef86 Posted July 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2020 Cohiba Medio siglo, should have let it rest longer. Tunneled through the middle really bad but tasted great. I forgot to mention this is probably my favored medium length smoke out there, I’d almost consider making it a daily smoke for me.

Popular Post Mcoad Posted July 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2020 Vacation week in Kelowna. About the only place to smoke a cigar is on your boat in the middle of the lake. Even the condos are 100% smoke free (including balcony’s). Nonetheless, a little Punch Punch. 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My July 2017's are still just ok This cab has generally been great (once I let them rest for about 8 months post purchase) and I currently only have 1 or 2 left from it. This particular stick was a little more bitter/spicy than the others that I've had lately. Got some big caramel and sugar cookie in the second third but otherwise it kind of had a one dimensional spice note for the rest of the stick. I will admit that it went out several times due to my own negligence while being on a conference call. I'm a firm believer in relights playing a factor in overall flavor profiles of the cigar, so I'll chalk some of it up to that. 16 minutes ago, CampDelta369 said: How are they smoking? I have some '17 Cabs still sleeping a bit. They're way better than they were just two years ago when I purchased this cab. I had some construction/draw issues the first 10 or so I smoked but I don't think I waited long enough for them to acclimate after buying them in Havana. Didn't smoke any for almost a year after that and I've shredded through the remainder of this cab since then. I would say that another year and a half if you have the patience will work wonders, but if you feel so inclined to light one up now as a little test, you wont be disappointed. This particular stick was not the best from this box, as it had a weird underlying black pepper note. The others in my opinion had delicious sweet syrup hits for the most part. I have an unopened UEB SEP-17 cab that I wont touch for a couple more years though. Certainly would like to see what people talk about when they say PLPC's need at least 5 years. 26 minutes ago, GVan said: It's PL Morning! I had the same idea as @StogieSteve23 and @Yellot00tr . PLMC (LGR AGO-17) with my morning Nespresso. Very nice George! I think I'd pick a PLMC over a PC in the mornings but this was just a quick grab before I jumped on a call. Love my Nespresso everyday. Great pairing. Those LGR-17 boxes are smoking very well right now. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted July 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2020 Ramón Allones Club Allones 2015 - Edición Limitada AUM Jul 2015 The Ramon Allones Club Allones was the second 2015 Limited Edition after the H.Upmann Magnum 56. Unlike the Magnum 56, which has enjoyed strong, positive critical appraisal from enthusiasts as they've aged, the Club Allones has seen a mixed response as its got older. The RA Club Allones is a 47 ring gauge x 135 mm (or 5⅜ inches) in length vitola which enjoys one of the smaller ring gauges amongst Limited Editions in recent times. They are known for their darker colorado maduro wrappers. This Club Allones proved no exception in its wrapper shade. How did it smoke in comparison to the last one I had? In summary, it was quite similar in flavours, although the body of the cigar has receded in the time that has passed, which is to be expected. Whereas my last Club Allones was mainly cocoa, coffee and stewed fruit and medium-full in body, this had those aforementioned flavours but was more medium-mild and the stewed fruit was much more 'tangy', especially in the middle third. The cigar suffered from tunneling at points, but this is a common characteristic of Club Allones cigars I find. Overall, it was quite satisfactory, and this is despite my bias towards milder cigars in general. If you are inclined towards bolder Ramon Allones cigars such as the Specially Selected and have been resting a box of Club Allones, why not try one or two now that they've hit the five-year mark? You may be in for a pleasant cigar-smoking experience. 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any experience as to how they were smoking when young, however over the last year I've gone through a box and they have all been excellent. Cocoa, Nutella, espresso and dried plum with some molasses on the retro. For the price of what they were when they came out, I wish I had 20+ boxes stashed away somewhere for years to come. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
