FOH'ers Daily Smoke

[CampDelta369]

Dark Dark wrappers on these JL#2 TPO FEB 19. They are starting to improve noticeably with the aging now. The cold aroma and draw were excellent so this box is going to rest a bit till next year.

I have been alternating between DCs HDM and Lusitanias and to be honest they are both setting a high bar. This Partagas is HC class, a phenomenal blend and rolled by an expert. Hat 🎩 tip to our host again...

Shows how weak minded I am.  I had intended to smoke a different cigar tonight, but all it took was talk of Lusi’s and I quickly changed course.  This is why I don’t watch commercials.

 

maybe so, but you chose wisely.

REG OCT 19 Especiales no 2 while cranking out thank you cards for work. I think I have a new Friday morning routine! 🤩🤩🤩

The wrapper doesn’t want to burn but when it does, it’s pretty phenomenal. My reg 18 box hasn’t smoked nearly as good as this is. Sweet cream and vanilla! 

Construction sucked and it was ruined by tunneling. Flavor was a 5/5, construction made it a 3/5. Massive potential with this box if the construction allows! I have another one I tried to try box but is still a tent peg.

How was it? I have a box on the way. But it's the only one of the series I haven't had yet.

I bought a stick from a local B&m. It’s the first time I try it. Not overly impressed, I much prefer rass. I got another stick that I’ll try in a month or two 

I would give it 86 points

A pre-dinner Fonseca Delicias. Pretty lucky I received this box with about 5yrs age on it. Meets expectations perfectly! Have a good weekend All



The after dinner cigar. Pulled the bands off early to save for my collection, but this is a 2018 RE La Flor De Cano Netherlands. Interesting sweet mesquite barbecue note on this; kind of a ‘meaty’ mouthfeel to the smoke that’s reinforcing it too. Pairing with some rhum agricole - a Rhum JM select barrel (very much prefer the rums that don’t permit added sugar). Going big on the fire tonight with about a dozen logs! Cheers

2018 Jorge rolled Monsdale. Not sure if it’s the age or blend but continue to prefer the Monsdale’s that Jorge rolled vs the newer ones.

How was the EE ?

Pleasing for 7 yes. Nice change of pace with hayish, mild clove, mild pepper, cream. Generally very consistent

A Partagas Serie D No.5. I love shorter/petit robustos. A little bit of a rough start as it was too tight to draw, but after using my draw tool a bit got it going perfectly pairing with a dram of Blantons Single Barrel.

This one was very tight. I love a tight draw but this was a little too tight. Had to poke around a bit with the perfecdraw, which helped a little but not much. Pure Partagas spice, coffee, wood and a hint of chocolate. If the draw had been perfect this would have been a stellar cigar but sadly I didn't get enough smoke to really appreciate the flavors.

I traded for some 1s, 2s and 3s recently. All are from the dark years, I'm looking forward to them but already tremble in fear of too tight cigars. 😅 Should have them in hand in a couple of weeks.

How are they coming around? Had a single a couple of years ago and found that they weren't ready yet.

I'm in love with my Jorge rolled Monsdales. Don't have too many left. Didn't try the newer ones yet.

I’m nubbing it now, can say this particular stick has been spectacular, with a nice evolution. Final third is a warm apple strudel with a beautiful cinnamon twang. Delicious in every way.

That's good to read. I will smoke another one soon. 🙂

I did not think much of it.  It was mostly bland. Not much Monte DNA. The RACF was brutally strong though. Very bold and rich. It might have skewed my enjoyment of the Monte.  I might revisit it later in the summer.  If it doesn't improve, I'm only invested in a 5 count tin.  

That sucks.
Hopefully it was just a one off dud.
I would hate to have paid the relatively high price for such a tiny little smoke only to have it suck.

Very nice.
Used to love and smoke a lot of the Siglo VI's back when I could afford them.

Also jealous of all the EL's and ER's you smoke.
I have only ever found 2 ER's from one vendor that had them affordably priced. Most places want crazy money for them

The 2 i bought were still pretty pricey, but they are very large vitolas and I have only heard very good things about them.

Will definitely be saving them for special occasions just like the dozen aged smokes I have been very graciously gifted
