FOH'ers Daily Smoke

[Cigarsmoker81]

Recent d4 has been amazing, I used to smoke it regularly then shifted to E2 5 years back but these guys are much better than what I remember them to be.

or I just might’ve been lucky with this box!

PLMC feb21. I had low expectations but couldn't help myself to try it and I was quite pleasantly surprised. Sure, it could benefit from a longer rest but I couldn't help myself.

Had to try one of the parti Maduro 1 that just arrived and today HUp 2 HQ both were excellent

Going through some Davidoff. Both were good straightforward smokes. Fantastic construction.

RASS from RUM OCT 18.

1st RASS I've had in at least 5 yrs, and it was my favorite robusto at the time. This example was a letdown, unfortunately. Draw on the tight side, and poor burn that constantly needed attention even after a week in the dry box. Exclude these issues, and the flavors were there and in line with what I remember. Oh well I've got 4 more hopefully they'll be better.

How was it? Anything like Connie 1 or A?

Non Plus RUM ABR 18. My second one from a PSP box. Has made significant improvement over the past year, but I’ll let them continue to rest.

I've smoked a lot of 2019 and 2020 d4's and have found them excellent even that young.
They are a staple in my Collection.
Hard to beat for the price

I love th E2's also. They are definitely the better of the two but you definitely pay more for them. Have a couple left in stock as we speak

One of the few under 40rg sticks I smoke.
Very enjoyable and have all been trouble free. Usually keep a few on hand. Have some on the way as we speak in fact

Nice. Really enjoy the Upmann No.2.
Really like the Maduro No.1, but they have been out of stock as singles everywhere I have looked for quite a while now

Always enjoyed all the Davidoffs and zinos I have had.
Just bought about a dozen of various vitols last month in fact

How are they?
They have been on my list to try for a while, but have been out of stock as singles everywhere for quite a while now

Really haven't liked the recent production ones I have had, so they were deleted from my bookmarks of cc's I enjoy.

Should pick up a couple and let them age a few years and see what happens

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

Really liked the ones I have had. Sadly my only vendor that had them as singles has stopped carrying them and only sell boxes now. Its a bummer. Great smoke for being so cheap

Nice.
I'm a big Montecristo whore. I smoke more of them than anything else by quite a bit.
Love the Especial No.2 and the No.1 is nice too, but I like the No.2's the best

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.

Not exactly a Halfwheel cigar review but you have to give credit when a cigar is this well constructed and fine ...

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 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...
