ESL-SEP-18 Mag 50: One of the best cigars I've smoked in a while... Sweetbread, honey, vanilla, raw cashews,  cookies & cream.  Hazelnut retro.  Fantastic.  Thanks @GVan for gifting this smoke.  I'm a huge Upmann fan but this one hit it out of the park for me.  Enjoyed it by the pool after doing some painting at my grandparents. 

 

 

Glad you enjoyed it brother !  Between you, me and @Devo we've only smoked 4 out of the box.  I plan on letting these rest a little while longer - I think they will only get better and better.  But, not too much longer !

RAT ENE 20 Fuerza. Just stellar, and ROTT. Reminds me of those candied roasted pecan treats some people do for Christmas

AJ Fernandez Puro Authentico. Used to buy these often when I was in college. Still have a few boxes left. This is from 2013 and still has some BALLS! Full flavor with plenty of kick. Could easily go twice as long.

What’s the date on that? Have one from around 2015 and I’m hoping it’s not past it’s prime.

Not nearly as hot today, 10 degrees cooler, so only 93F. Enjoyed a QdO 54 and iced Janus single origin espresso blend.

I'm really beginning to see the beauty of iced coffee this time of year.

Yep, black coffee on ice. Great combo in the heat!

Reyes RAG MAY 19 - ROTT, which I never do, and this was freaking good. Spiked it at the end until it fell apart.

Montecristo Especiale No. 2 REG ABR 19 - My first. Wow, these are unique. Earthy, woody, cocoa, definitely rich, and some... mushroom? Not super complex but tasty, a little weird. I'm a fan.

Monte No. 1 BOE DIC 18 - Every single one from this box has been plugged or nearly plugged. Reamed it out and... not bad at all.

Yes, thank you again!! It was a real treat and honestly, I was blown away while smoking it.  So much enjoyment from that cigar.  'll admit, not the usual vitola I prefer to smoke due to its size, but its a great golf course/beach cigar if I have the time.  Loved the flavors.  Going to look into getting some myself and hope I can get some similar flavor profiles.

Continued yesterday evening along the bolivar path by enjoying a BBF, box code ULA DIC 14. Very elegant and classic bolivar flavors.

Lusitania with friends. Then steak. Then an Avo one of them gave me. Great weather and a nice sunset in downtown Santa Monica.

Goodness Elliot, It's still light out and you're on cigar #6? I'm pretty sure I pee'd right next to that bench on main St. btw... No, no... I'm 100% sure. My wife would not leave and everything was closed. Sorry, not sorry.

In all fairness, one of those cigars was from the previous morning, so only 5 cigars before dark.

Great spot.  I love Santa Monica.  Is that the roof of a hotel, or someone's apartment?

[mgcrunch]

Topes. Not sure if its worth the $, but its lovely.

MC#5 as the shade moves quickly from the patio.

It’s my buddy’s place. He snagged the penthouse when it came up for sale and he is a recent avid smoker so we have all been going over a lot lately for cigars.

Punch Short de Punch TPO Sep 2019

These Punch Short de Punch have been usually so dependable for me of late that I was genuinely surprised today when this one turned out to be 'run-of-the-mill' ordinary. For me, these have been a noteworthy addition to the Punch marca on two accounts. Firstly, for a Petit Robusto it offers great value as they take quite some time to smoke and secondly, they embody the classic Punch flavour profile; that is sour cream, cedar, leather and 'Cuban twang', that sour citrus flavour which makes Cuban cigars stand out from Non-Cuban ones.

This Punch Short de Punch still took some time to smoke but flavour-wise it was mainly cedar and some Cuban twang. Admittedly, I did smoke this on a very cold day (for my part of the world) whereby the sun hid behind the clouds and the temperature did not rise above 15° Celsius (59° Fahrenheit) even at midday. This resulted in some more draws than normal and a moistened cigar head which no doubt induced some bitterness into the flavours of the cigar.

I think I will wait for a dry day soon before I light up my next Punch Short de Punch. I have every confidence that it will smoke very differently to this one today!

Thanks @MigsG  not for the faint of heart but if you like cocoa, slight vanilla and earth With clouds of smooth smoke... after the first few Puffs at least. This is a solid NC Tuesday 

[RDB]

Couple of recent smokes. Bolivar PC was from a consistently good box MSU DIC 17. Not quite as funky sweet or complex as the best, but still good rich flavours and a fine slow burn. Vigia was the first from a RAG MAR 19 box. Loose draw but perfect burn and classic sweet tea Trini flavours. I have now sampled young boxes of these, Fundies (JUL 19) and Media Luna (ENE 20) and they all smoke well at a very young age.

[TheFullMontecristo]

Media Luna. Delectable.

I’m stuck with a My Father. Still waiting on the good ones to come in. Loooks like Thursday!
