Draw and burn are horrible but flavors are nice 

 

will try again in 90 days 

monte no 4

 Ive to admit I’m on the camp of “I don’t get it “

Montecristo Linea 1935 Dumas

Excellent draw and construction. Burn was a bit off the entire time in spite of attempts to correct it.

Nearly invisible seams and only a few very small, thin veins.

Very tasty, and mellow and smooth, but I don't really feel the price for them is justified for me.

'01 HDM Le Hoyo du Maire

Pretty tasty little smoke and 20 years certainly hasn't muted the flavor. Even still has a little bite to it.

Nice little after lunch smoke. Have been working through about a dozen I was generously gifted.

MUWAT Bait Fish

Strong flavored little sucker, with great burn,draw and construction.

A little to overpowering to the palate for me, just like the opus x and anejos I tried several months ago, that I used to love.

Appears my palate and likes/dislikes have changed over the last year smoking cc's almost exclusively

'14 PSD4

Same great taste as recent production, but a bit smoother and more subtle.

Definitely very tasty, and great burn,draw and construction. Also nearly invisible seams and only a couple very small, thin veins.

Curious how much difference there will be with the 2008 I was also generously gifted.

I think I like the especiales (the long ones not the no. 2) the best. Just another level on that one. I'd definitely recommend them if you can get your hands on one.

I have a box of the Especiales #2 that are just sublime. If you're saying you prefer the standard Especial size vs. the Esp. #2, then I'd be in heaven. Too bad they're pretty scarce...

Yes the standard especial is a very classy cigar, definitely seek them out if you can find them. It's like the Sir Winston of Montecristos

Very nice smokes.
Which Trinidad is that? I can't tell from the picture

Esmeralda PTG Jul 20 which was picked up from 24:24

[Jimmy_jack]

First partagas short. I dig it.

edited to add that I smoked this well past the band and it was great. Rarely do I smoke cigars down to 1/2-3/4 inches.

@Raskol

How was it?
Have wanted to try one for quite a while but not available as singles anywhere. Luckily I was able to pick up a couple in a private sale last month and will get to try one soon.
Have enjoyed all the Trinidads I have had except for the Vigia. I wasn't impressed for the price

 

It was a very good smoke. Construction good. Flavors were grassy, leathery, nutty, hints of spice & sweetness. Body was med full & strength med. Would be even better with some age.

I enjoy all Trinidads 

[noreaster]

I know these are crazy $$ but they are the most flavorful RA I've had...and I'm one of the few who don't get RASS...

[SigmundChurchill]

I'm here in Palm Beach, FL for a much anticipated cigar trip with @rcarlson, @ElJavi76, @StogieSteve23,and @zigarrenziggy.  

Having a great time.  Started off the day with a Trinidad Robusto Extra.

[Puros Y Vino]

2010 VR Unicos and 12YO El Dorado.  My favorite piramides.

Second to last MdO4 here, box code unknown. Really good and would love to get more when they reappear, but anticipating these will be priced beyond their worth.

Mediocre Monte 1, washed down with some really good mezcal. That's a damn nice combo, though.

Getting skunked fishing the Delaware Water Gap, and a meh RASCC. Figures. I'll stop complaining...

RyJ Mille Fleur, a good one from 2017.

Camping in NEPA with an Illusione Epernay, followed by a not quite as good RGPC.

One of those polarizing PLPCs.

Monte 4.

Edit 2: and a Monte 3. Monte day!

How did they compare back to back?

Monte Especial no. 2 was a bit plugged or tight.

Otherwise the flavours were eerily similar.

The number 3 had the sweetest chocolate/cocoa. The number 1 had the best construction.

I'd say cocoa/chocolate with some coffee or dark chocolate bitterness maybe a bit of earth.

[karp]

HdM San Juan.. mild, mild, mild. Cream, and some of the typical HdM flavours. I’m a fan so it worked for me, but I will age this box to see if it improves the sweetness and cream. 

[StogieSteve23]

Some recent smokes with @ElJavi76 @zigarrenziggy @SigmundChurchill and @rcarlson. Burning down south Florida. 
 

 

06 Salamones

[Scubasteve20]

BPC MSU JUN 18

 

Sticks like this make it difficult to justify the pricier options. That's a ton of Bolivar flavor in there and smooth to the last drop!

[CampDelta369]

Morning MC#4 with BRCC MO blend. 

Tainos and some Dark Rye. Cheers

PLMC morning. Excellent 

Perlas are on point.

I've recently become hooked on the Especiales no.2 and the no.3.
They have become my go to Montecristos.
The regular no.2 is still my favorite, I just don't smoke nearly as many as the other 2 mainly due to price

My favorite Montecristo, which is my favorite marca.
Smoke more especiales no.2 and no.3's though due to price

 

Dunhill Seleccion Suprema LE
Excellent in every regard.

Great taste and great burn,draw and construction and nearly invisible seams with only a couple small, thin veins.

Just a real treat all around.

Will definitely be buying more
