QdO Panetelas POS MAY 06

A friend persuaded me to crack my box of these for a trade. It kinda broke my heart to do so but I wouldn't be able to take that box to the grave with me anyway. I smoked singles of the QdO Panetelas in the past and they were all mild cigars. The one from this box was much stonger, it took me by surprise. The cigar was stellar!

Tight draw as I like but not plugged. I smoked quite a few of these and only had one plugged one so far.

I will have to try the dantes again soon and let you know. I have had several of both the Leyenda and Dantes and would heavily lean towards the Leyenda being the superior cigar. Mind you, the last Dantes I had was probably 1.5 yrs ago and had some burn issues. I thought it needed more time.

Appreciate the insight Brent. Let me know what you think if you get a chance to try a Dantes. I’ve heard good things on the Leyenda so good you like them.

SCdlH La Punta (RAT MAY-20). I admit it - just couldn't wait - it was only 7 days out of the freezer.  Probably should have waited for a review weekend but, after Rob and Ken's review I had to tase it - and it didn't disappoint.  Should only get better and better with some acclimating in the humi!  

Monte #4 (AMO SEP-16)  ROTT - smoked beautifully, could even put it down for a minute or two and it didn't go out or ever need a touch-up.  Just convinces me that's why you wait 3 to 5 years (if you can).  Didn't get any chocolate more like tea and nutmeg and incredibly smooth.  Should only get better as I allow them to acclimate!

Funny story - I was so excited to get some 2016's in this size (my favorite)  - that I took them all out of the cardboard and neatly put them in the singles drawer.  As I was doing this and admiring my handiwork, the wife walked by and asked "Aren't you going to freeze those before putting them in the humi?"  How dumb on my part - immediately took them all out and into a gallon ziplock -- but, how's that for a good partner!

SGA DIC 16 Dantes. Really enjoy these but not a cigar I was able to go deep on. Anyone with insight on how it compares to the Leyenda?

As @havanaclub mentioned, I would agree that to my taste too the Leyenda is more to my preference of late. Although, the last Leyenda I had was in October 2020 and the last Dantes I had was in June 2020. In generalised terms I found the Leyenda to be more akin to lighter milk coffee, marshmallow and cream texture and the Dantes more dominant in stronger cocoa and even has some white pepper.

So I feel they are on different ends of the spectrum in the Montecristo line. This question has prompted to consider re-visiting these cigars soon and smoking them back-to-back to compare.

Thanks John. I look forward to your reviews.

I would agree. The 4-5 Dantes I have had seemed to be on the “darker” side compared to the Leyenda. I would also agree on the spice/pepper. This is why I figured they needed some time to smooth out. Might try one tonight to check in.

BCE FPG JUN 97 from 50 cab. Perfect draw. Perfect burn. A 96-98 pointer. Curses to you Habanos for discontinuing these.

Off to a great start!! SUM OCT 16
I recall these early being on the slightly harsh side. A lot of pepper and even recall hearing reviews about it tasting like a Nicaragua cigar. I can see some resemblance, but this has smoothed out.medium-full with dark chocolate and slight roasted nuts with a very nice creamy texture. Very nice.

Haven’t had one in a long while. Happy Easter FoH

Start of the Easter Weekend. Yesterday's smoke, Sancho Panza Gran Quixote. A good long and leisurely smoke

[Greenhorn2]

Decided to abandon the internet last night and grabbed my first HdM EE , and went to visit my cousin in his shop last night. Extremely overfilled and plugged.😔 Burn was very uniform but zero smoke output. Left my draw tool at home, got tired of pulling my brains out and rectified the problem with a 1/8 drill bit in the dewalt cordless drill. There's more than one way to skin a cat.lol

Nice improvisation, lol
I really like the HdM EE's a lot. Just got a few with my most recent order and even being 2020's, they taste great to me

It had a very good flavor, just couldn't get any smoke out of it. Burned for 2 hours, never had to relight or touch up the burn. Just highly disappointed with the draw. I knew I was in trouble before I  even lit it by how tight the roll was.
