Would you be able to advise where I can get the white band at the foot or you made it yourself? I need to start labeling my sticks or I will loose track.

How do you rate the BCJ to other small format Minutos and Perlas? I have not been able to allocate some samples. Worth a try?

Definitely worth a try. This one was a little strong yet due to being a tad young however it was still quite enjoyable.

PL's aplenty lately...

PLPC LEP DIC 16. A box full of lighter wrappers, mild and subtle flavors, fragrant, caramel, sort of unlike any of the other PL's in my stash (a boatload). Enjoyable.

PLP, can't remember if this is from one of my 2018 or 2019 boxes... complete inventory mismanagement.

PLMC TOS FEB 17. Tight draw, muted flavors until it loosened up.

Culebras. My second ever stick and it's as tasty as the first. I wonder if the blend would be more popular if it was sold as individual sticks

Those things are ****ing crazy looking!

The labels are from a company named Kenco Label. I have been purchasing them from Amazon however I see that they are no longer available there. 

There was information on the inside cover of they box they came in and I was able to find the following link with a little little bit of Google Fu.  Blank Cigar Bands (kencolabel.com)

UEB Dic 17, from our host. First from the box, mighty fine cherries and cream with a nice Cuban twang. Lovely.

Decided to sample one of the Upmann #2 that arrived Friday (BRE DIC 18). The colour and sheen on these were simply to irresiestable ? Great smoke, and very enjoyable with classical Upmann flavors of initiall milk chocolate, then more leathery and toasted tobacco. A very nice experience, especially considering the cigars arrived few days ago after spending 7 weeks on the road to Copenhagen - considering how the smoke now I can only imagine how they will smoke after a few months/weeks in the humidor.

7:00 AM in the doctor's parking lot, I lit up a CPE after a horrendous weekend at work.  I got to work Friday morning 6AM, worked until midnight.  Repeated the exact same thing Saturday.  Then a 24 hour shift Sunday.  November/December is our busy season, and the closer we get to New Years, the busier it gets.

I'm feeling much better now. ?

PLPC TOS FEB 17. I can’t thank this forum enough for introducing me to these.

 

[havanaclub]

These are smoking very good imo. Wish the Mdo4 were still around. Or a robo or a PC or something other than a double band.

Partagás Selección Privada 2014 - Edición Limitada OPG Dic 2014

The Partagas Seleccion Privada Limited Edition was released in 2014, along with the Bolivar Super Corona and Cohiba Robustos Supremos. Initial reviews suggested that it was like a Partagas Serie D No.4, only richer. The consensus, at the time, was that this cigar was ripe for aging, with a 3 to 5 year window.

A double robusto with a 50 ring gauge by 160 mm (or 6¼ inches) length, my last Partagas Seleccion Privada Limited Edition, smoked in 2018, took a good 2 hours to enjoy. It was medium-full in strength, creamy, with a coffee, leather and wood core and cocoa, toasted tobacco and hints of white pepper at times. It was very much true to the Partagas marca, especially when compared to a Partagas Serie D No.4.

This Partagas Seleccion Privada LE, at around six years of age, has evolved further since. It was definitely more towards medium in strength and the flavours that were so distinctive before have melded this time. The cigar was not as indicative of the Partagas marca as previous examples I've smoked between the two-year and four-year mark. I still got that core coffee, leather, toasted tobacco and wood but there was no Partagas spice at all and the cocoa has receded. That being said, it was still a very good cigar and I'm curious as to how the next one from this box will smoke. I hope to do so in the next few weeks.

RASS REG SEP 19. Some signs of life here. I've struggled with this marca which might be just a bad box but this newer box code is approachable. Probably an 87 for me right now with the 2nd third carrying the weight.

This is the stick that made me fall in love with Cubans.  Needless to say it has been a slippery slope!

Great review as always John
