Sorry @Bijan, just saw this! They're smoking very well, actually. I'm ok with a little spice in my cigars, so once that ammonia bitterness is gone I'm usually ready to rock. You know, as long as they're balanced. But I'm not the biggest fan of "fresh" Fonsecas. The 15s however have been PERFECT. So IMO, they are def ready to go. I think you'll enjoy them at this stage. I would be interested in what you think. 

CHEERS????

Thanks, I'll let you know. Fonsecas are hit and miss for me. Sometimes they are just too light/mellow. It happens sometimes with other cigars, but it's most common with Fonsecas. Still good for a change of pace. All the Cosacos (not too many yet) I've had have been stronger than the No. 1s and KDTs so I'm hoping they shouldn't be too mellow.

What code is the coro? I’m surprised you like young coros (assuming it’s relative young?)

Meh.  Sometimes they are fine, sometimes not.  When they are not, I put that box away for a while and open another box the next time.  This one is UAO AGO 18.  

I wouldn't call it the best, but it's not bad.

How were they? 

Construction was great. Started a lil under medium with creaminess, lil baking spice, woody notes & nutty flavors was. After the second third, it was medium all the way. Spice disappeared leaving cream, woody & nutty flavors...Some sweetness after the second third...not much evolution i would say. No rough edges what so ever.

Overall it was totally an enjoyable smoke. Would try another in a few months time.

How old do you think is just right for the CoRos? And how long til you usually consider them "smokeable"? You know, just generally speaking?  Thx. 

The point of perfection usually comes at about 4 or 5 years.  

I don't have the patience for putting boxes away and forgetting about them, so what I do is I take 2 cigars out of each box, and label them with the date and box code, and put them in a box with the other "last two" cigars, and I only ever rarely touch those boxes.  I have a couple of boxes of CoRos, from every year dating back 15 years.  I do the same with Siglo VI and Esplendidos.  I find that to be an easier way to actually age cigars for a person with impulse-control issues, such as myself.

Smokeable, is a harder question to answer.  The best tasting Cohibas I have every smoked were fresh off the rolling table at the factory.  While, the ones from the factory that I saved and smoked a few months later, lost that amazing fresh flavor and pungent aroma, and just tasted like any other young Cohiba.  So when are they smokeable?  It differs from box to box.  And even then, I have smoked different cigars out of THE SAME box of CoRos at 1 year, where some of them were good, and some tasted way too young.  It's a crap shoot up until 3 years or so.  So I guess the sweet spot in my opinion is 3-5 years.

Esplendido UAO MAY 17

And just to add to the confusion of my above post, my 2019 box of Esplendidos has tasted better than every cigar I have smoked from this 2017 box, so go figure.

Not that I don't like these.  They are wonderful.  But the 2019 box is an exceptional box.

Rob T? Not familiar with that particular Trini...

Trinidad used to have the Robusto T as well as the Robusto Extra.  Both great cigars, so of course, they had to be discontinued.

I also remember one they made that came in a small humidor that looked like a farmhouse.  I think that one was called the double robusto?  It was a massive cigar for its time.  The few I smoked were amazing.

Wow, enjoying an exceptional ESL Feb 19 Mag 50 this evening. It’s a flavor packed HU experience so far. Cheers!

Never had one of those sir. I can tell you that the Monte #5 gives me 30+min of cocoa, coffee, cream... not complex but a bit more intense than the the #4 which is also fantastic.

RG Perlas. I love how this opens up with floral notes and nuts. Very unique. And after 12 hours of airport shuffle it's a great closer.

Why not just have your nurses do it?  ?

What I suspected, and I guess also your autocorrect might give you a hard time trying to do differently. ?

Do hope the situation will leave you guys a bit room to catch some breath over the coming holidays!

Agree on the 2019 Esplendidos.  Mine have all been fantastic.  I've tried to age my Esplendidos over the years with zero success.  If I see them, I smoke them....If I don't see them, I hunt them down, and then I smoke them. ?

Great Friday so far and it is only 2pm!

2017 Maltés that’s been a delightfully good box (10 left), and just popped open this 50-can of Lusis I got from our host (2020).

Cracked a new cabinet of LGR MAR 19 PLPC’s last night. Good start to this cab.






Tonight a Reynaldo Pyramid from my trip last March. Nice full bodied and flavored cigar.

One of those ESL PSP Mag 50’s from last year. First from the box with that WOW factor. Glad I have another 18!
