Montecristo No.1 ESL Dic 2017
If there was a poll conducted to seek out the most under-rated Montecristo cigar I wonder if the Montecristo No.1 would top it. I would think the top prize would go to the often neglected and unheralded coronas-sized Montecristo No.3, but I would hasten to add that the Lonsdale-sized Montecristo No.1 wouldn't be too far behind.
I smoked this soon after I enjoyed a superlative Montecristo Especiales No.2 and honestly I have to admit that this Montecristo No.1 wasn't too far behind in terms of quality and satisfaction. So what were the similarities and differences? Both cigars had that Montecristo renowned milk coffee and cocoa and a hint of citrus twang. This Montecristo No.1 however was more towards mild-medium in strength, it wasn't as cream-textured and it had more of a toasted tobacco and leather combined flavour to it which wasn't present in the Montecristo Especiales No.2.
It's a pity the Montecristo No.1 doesn't get more attention from cigar enthusiasts. After all, it's only 10 millimetres (or two-fifths of an inch) longer than a Cohiba Siglo III but a lot better value in terms of price in comparison.

Ssshhh.... the first rule about fight club....

Punch Short de Punch[/url] TPO Sep 19
I wouldn't be exaggerating in stating how genuinely surprised I am at how good these Punch Short de Punch cigars are smoking right now, for me. Despite being less than a year old this box has more than delivered in regards to quality and satisfaction. Put it this way, I have an unopened box of Punch Punch from 2016 and it is my solemn hope that they turn out to smoke like this box has, when I get around to 'cracking' open that box!
It's not as if the Punch Short de Punch is overly complex because it's not. It's a simple cigar that exemplifies how honestly good Punch can be. The flavours I consistently get are a combination of sour cream, cedar, leather and a Cuban twang 'tart' citrus which is simply so pleasant to smoke.
I should move on to a plethora of other Habanos options and give this box some more time to develop but the truth is I won't. There's only 2 left from this 10-count box and I envisage I will be done with them before the end of the year. Thankfully I have another box ready to replace this one when that happens!

Good to hear. I have not had one yet but do have a box on the way. I really like Punch cigars; I’m having a Punch Punch from a cab as I type this.

Indeed, the one and only! I ended my day by making up for my lack of catch with some fine, fresh oysters on my way home.  Love that area

ETP MAR 17 RASCC.

Got a bit of a sweet stewed fruit flavour. Overall was probably stronger than the BCJ from yesterday. This was again first out of the box and a good smoke and good sign for the rest.

Looks like I'm on a tour of minutos. Probably a LGR JUN 17 el Principe tomorrow and/or a UEB JUL 18 Partagas Shorts.

LGR JUN 17 el Principe.

Good cigar but pairing it with a coffee wasn't so good. Flavours started a bit sweet but then went to coffee and dark chocolate. Couldn't tell what I was tasting with the coffee and cigar together.

For a Monday it was a pretty good day. After dinner an enjoyable RAE MAR 15 Punch Punch from a cab.

I love these little guys, but I hate smoking them. Knowing that they're discontinued makes it hard to light one up... HUPC - SUB MAR 12 w/ coffee for breakfast.

Romeo y Julieta Exhibicion No.4 ABO Ago 2018

This Romeo y Julieta Exhibicion No.4 represents the second cigar smoked from this box, coming soon after I finished my outstanding POU Jun 2013 box. I feel that this cigar, when rolled well, is an under-rated Hermosos No.4, an unsung stand-out within the Romeo y Julieta marca.

The draw was spot on and flavours were consistent with my previous Romeo y Julieta Exhibicion No.4 I had around a fortnight ago; anise, rosewater, some spice at the initial few puffs, oat biscuit and toasted tobacco. The main difference with other quality Romeo y Julieta cigars I've had in the past few years such as the RyJ Churchills and Capuletos 2016 Limited Edition is that the Exhibicion No.4 doesn't tend to have strong notes of cocoa like those other aforementioned cigars.

Overall, this was quite fine for what it is...a softer Romeo y Julieta option that is dependable and meant to serve within one's 'go-to' rotation set of cigars rather than stand out as a stellar selection.

Partagás Maduro No. 1 TUE May 2020

I still find it hard to believe that this TUE May 2020 Partagas Maduro No.1 is less than six months old and can be so refined after smoking my second one from the box today.

With the maduro wrapper on this cigar I was still expecting it to be all chocolate/cocoa and coffee but instead it really shone in its leather and anise/sour cherry flavours, while being medium-mild in strength, at best.

As I mentioned in my previous review on the Partagas Maduro No.1, it's no wonder why the Partagas Maduro Linea series is so popular right now. All three offerings (the Maduro No.1 and the new Maduro No.2 and No.3) are providing quality returns in regards to satisfaction, investment and downtime (as very little rest is required to enjoy them out of the box, unlike the original run of Cohiba Maduro 5, for example, which needed significant rest to enjoy, in my opinion).
