Popular Post Rhinoww Posted March 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2021 With a few short interruptions for some other favorites this weeks exercise ended up being a tour of my 46 RG sticks: Mag46, Epi1; siglo IV and now the JL1. Before you ask my favorite let me say this is my favorite size cigar apparently next to the PC. These cigars are like my kids. Each exceptional in their own ways that I love faithfully. Each has their differences but each shines in their particular skills. I can’t quite articulate why I reach for one cigar over the other other than some innate itch that the cigar will scratch. This 2017 JL1 oddly started w a bit of a bite that faded very quickly into the lush JL flavors. Thick smoke w this cigar. A great diet lunch of nicotine. Right after I lit this I took delivery of a stunning box of Hoyo DC. You know this stick was good as I opted to continue to smoke it rather than try a Hoyo DC ROTT. They are Oct 20, so I won’t revisit that box for quite some time. Enjoying the JL1 before going back to work perhaps with a basketball game showing on my iPad after 3. Lots to do today. Lots of firsts yesterday. First day of NCAA tournament. First Sir Winston. And a big thank you to @Chibearsvfor the trade so I could try these sticks. He is a true gentleman and BOTL. THANKS Smoked w one of my buddies as we wait for the first tip today. Cigars were beautiful. Light sheen. A firm draw just the way I really like it. April 19 box. Flavors on cold draw was a touch fruit. Sweet tea a bit of bay leaf on the light. Holding these sticks one can feel that they are rolled particularly well. Buddy I am smoking one with has notes a variety of sweeter flavors. Even a touch of cherry a la RyJ. Surprisingly light although mid way on the first third I am feeling the nicotine. Ah some lightly toasted bread. Very smooth delightful cigar. My buddy’s comment was that he almost forgot how great the cigar was as he was continually drawing on it barely taking a break by habit. He was just immersed in the flavors. As the first third end lots of caramel is showing up. It’s windy outside but burn was uneven. Second third has lots of dark chocolate. Flavors were great and consistent for the remainder of the stick Hate to say it, but you can add me to the long list of those looking for a box. today is a Hoyo DC. GREAT weekend. 24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post smbauerllc Posted March 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2021 Montecristo No.3 Very tasty as usual. This one was rolled a bit tight unfortunately and my modus tool didn't help so it wasn't a plug. Started getting much better smoke production after only a 1/4 inch or so, so wasn't a big deal ultimately. Great burn,draw and construction though Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw that I have a Soberanos box with that code as well so the PL and that one will not stay in my stash. I have a few boxes of REG. They're generally not that bad, though not stellar. Definitely provincial code. My terrible code this year was RUM. Had one box, was 3/4 or more plugged. Reg was actually the 10th best code according to Rob for 2018 and 2019: Edit: Though my terrible RUM was 12th 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kaptain Karl Posted March 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2021 I’ve gone through 4 cigar today and every one has been a disaster. Had to toss each of them in the 1/3. I havnt had a day like this in awhile...just part of the deal smoking Cubans I guess! This especiales 2 really tried to be a cocoa, wood and vanilla bomb...but alas was plagued with knots and tunneled through my best counter efforts. 15 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I burned out my palate last night through the results of my birthday week efforts. So taking a day off now and it was 20c/68f out today ☹️ But yeah on the topic of dud cigars. Unless the taste makes me sick I try to smoke my way through the disaster sticks. Makes me appreciate the solid 3/5 or 4/5 cigars more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rhinoww Posted March 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2021 Another day of basketball yesterday and another great cigar. A 2016 Hoyo DC I picked up as a single. My first. Another really great cigar start to finish. A solid two hour smoke. Glad I have a 2020 box now in the aging Coolidor that I might peek at next year. this Cuban cigar thing is a deep hole. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the size of the Distinguidos much better than the smaller ones, as the smaller ones have had consistent issues with being way too tightly rolled. Unfortunately they are a fair bit harder to find in stock and are a fair bit pricier than the Tradicionales which are the nearest smaller ones. Just got a couple of the Tradicionales and hope i have better luck than in the past 22 hours ago, Shatner said: Monte 2 PTR DIC 16 Nice.
