FOH'ers Daily Smoke

[El Hoze]

Gotta laugh a bit at this banding going to this from an old HU Mag 46, but que viva Republica Domicana! Cigar is good, have not smoked many of these, got a bundle from the boss. Beer pairing was easy!

Really been enjoying these lately.

Hoyo Epicure no. 1.

Edit: a little too mild for me until the final third. Solid 80 minute smoke though.

Looks beautiful...was it young? I’ve only had 3 of those, but they were from a 2017 cab and they were pretty medium bodied and full of flavor.

It was a random single, so probably pretty young. I was smoking heavier cigars, Bolivars and Ramon Allones so that might be why it seemed so mild. It was mainly flavour. I'll have to revisit.

Hopefully the next one is better...Good luck!

My dad was over and wanted a cigarillo, so I went for the smallest cigar I had. Very good. Impressive smoke volume and flavor for such a small smoke.

7mm punch worked just right too.

Celebrated a winning primary election for my aunt tonight with good grapes and tasty leaves. BRE-NOV-19 Connie 1 with some Dom P. 
 

 

GEM-DIC-19 Unicos: Cornbread, fresh hay, raw walnuts with a little honey on the retro. Impeccable draw and construction, great burn.  Thanks Ray @captaincaveman for this enjoyable stick.  

 

GOM-JUN-18 D6: My aunt is running for County Commissioner of our district tomorrow in the primary elections and I spent the last 6 hours or so putting out signs at polling sites all over our district in the county.  Needed a little nightcap when I got home while catching up on emails and such. I reached for something small and poured some Michters US-1.  This stick was a bodyguard from the trade I did with @captaincaveman.  Funny thing is, we both gave the same bodyguard stick for the trades HA! I have a few left from a 2016 box and I must admit that the flavors from this one are better than any I got from the majority of the 2016 box.  Black pepper (but not overpowering), soy sauce and molasses.  Quite an enjoyable short smoke to end the evening. Thanks again, Ray! 

 

A few from this weekend. 

EOS-MAR-19 Non-Plus: Dusted chocolate and sea salty goodness.

LMB-ABR-19 Perlas with coffee this morning: Sweet cedar, roasted chestnuts and cocoa.

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.

how have your vigias been treating you lately? underfilled/open draw frequently? ive been fairly lucky across 6+ boxes, but always trying to gauge the field on them

These are perfect, but they are from a 2016 box.  I have had more recent ones that were good too.  Occasionally underfilled but mostly great.

Diplomáticos Ammunition 2018 - Edición Regional Phoenicia RAG Sep 2018

The Diplomaticos Ammunition was released in November 2018 by Phoenicia Trading, the exclusive Habanos distributor in the Middle East, Cyprus, Greece and parts of Africa. 'Ammunition' is a reference to "the challenge, thrill, and resolve felt and experienced by hunters and poker players, dedicated to their passion, knowing of the gratitude for the accomplishment of success,” according to Hisham Lofti, commercial director of Phoenicia Trading A.A. The Diplomaticos Ammunition came out in 10000 10-count boxes (so 100000 sticks overall) and is a 54 ring gauge x 150 mm (or 5⅞ inches) in length Geniales cigar, having the same dimensions as the Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de San Juan and H.Upmann Connossieur B.

I smoked an Ammunition a month ago and noted it was more sweet than savoury, with quality sourdough, cinnamon and nutmeg being the main flavours. After smoking this cigar today, I can still confidently affirm that this is a quality release. It had notes of sourdough, bell pepper (or capsicum), cinnamon and nutmeg spice and even hints of strawberries and cream, which were flavours more characteristic of the Diplomaticos Nortenos Canadian Regional Edition for me.

Again I reiterate that if you can get you hands on this release then do not hesitate in doing so. This is simply a great example of a Diplomaticos cigar release!
