Don't give up on the RGP. It's one of the great vitolas. Just let them rest longer.

Also, pedantry warning - it's not a minuto. It's a perla (as is the monte 3)

He likes minutos: party shorts boli cj and rascc.

edit: and the Monte 5 is the Perla the 3 is a corona?

RASS REG Sep 19. First of a 6 pack after 90 days

Decided to make it a LCDH release day.

UPE MAR 13 Noellas. Always great.
(still no bridge)


TPO MAR 18 Epicure de Luxe. I started smoking these as an early morning cigar with an Americano many years ago in Havana. This box I haven’t reached for often as it has been consistently much stronger than what I was used to. Don’t mind that; just not expected for me from this cigar.



Got the bridge back in but then got stormy so finished the night on the balcony with a MSU ENE 18 RA Allones Superiores. First from the box and it was a very good example.

A two cigar night as it’s more comfortable outside than inside the house...can’t wait for the AC to get fixed especially as 90s are on the way...

I can vouch for this as well. The burnt toast/black coffee taste was kinda off putting at first. I kept giving them a chance and they turned into a wonderful quick cigar. I actually pull these out more now for my dog walks then anything else. That last half can be as good as any bigger cigar I smoke.

Good stuff hazy. Kiddo is probably finally sleeping through the night... Mine is 2 and sleep 12 hours a night. It's nice catching up on the 6 months of sleep deficit...

We r blessed he has been sleeping solid for almost 5 months now and naps 2 times a day .... issue is he has been walking for about 3 weeks now ... as soon as we cross one hurdle on comes another one ! So much fun though but def he cant be left alone for long. Lol. Glad u r sleeping again it’s a nice thing

I have seen every episode multiple times, while it was still on the air.  The times between seasons was often very long, and I would re-watch the previous season to catch myself up for each new season. This is the first time I am watching it all the way through since the final episode, and I am picking up a lot of things I missed back then.

The show has a special meaning for me, because it all takes place in my area, so I know all the places where they meet, restaurants, streets, etc. Also,  I grew up knowing people that would have fit in very well on the show.?

Ha! Yes. Can you tell I'm not a big Monte fan? ?

Just sittin’ here watching planes fighting the California fires go to & from while I grill tri-tip & corn in my backyard (too hot & too smokey to open the windows or cook inside).  Cigars really do teach you enjoy any moment, cheers!

Cohiba Espléndidos 2003 - Reserva Selección (circa 2003)

The Cohiba Reserva Seleccion from 2002 was the first special release in the Reserva line. Nowadays, the Reserva series is a bi-annual release, alternating with Gran Reserva releases. They also include common regular production cigars, albeit made with higher quality leaf. The first Reserva release was paradoxical in that it included 30 cigars (which is around twice what you get in these type of releases these days) and it included five vitolas; 8 Piramides (i.e. standard size 52 ring gauge x 156 mm, not the bigger-sized current regular production cigar, the Cohiba Piramides Extra which is 54 ring gauge x 160 mm), 4 Esplendidos, 6 Robustos, 6 Coronas Especiales and 6 Media Coronas (which was a vitolas specifically made for this release, being identical in ring gauge to the Coronas Especiales but 10 mm shorter - 38 ring gauge x 142 mm and the first Cohiba release to include medio tiempo leaf).

This Cohiba Esplendidos 2003 Reserva Seleccion cigar had more similarities with regular production Cohiba Esplendidos I've smoked of the same age than the Cohiba Piramides 2003 Reserva Seleccion I smoked a few months ago did in comparison to regular production aged Cohiba Piramides Extra. I'd still rate this 2003 Reserva Seleccion cigar more highly than the many mid-2000s Esplendidos I've smoked, and that's saying something as those latter cigars have consistently been outstanding cigars.

I guess the main difference in comparing this 2003 Reserva Seleccion Esplendidos to aged regular production Esplendidos is the quality grass/hay, deep cedar and vanilla bean consistency to the cigar. There was still some mocha coffee and buttered texture to this Esplendidos, but those flavours came across much milder like milk coffee and the buttered texture to the cigar was more creamy.

I must thank and acknowledge @Trevor2118 for gifting me this cigar to smoke and review. It proved a testament to the longevity of quality Habanos cigars as this smoked so supremely well.
