Tatuaje Private Reserve (Black Label) Petit Lancero

My first of these, in fact, my first lancero ever

Great taste, and lots of it but without being too strong or overwhelming to the palate.

Started with a little bite of spice in the first third, but disappeared after that.

Great burn, draw and construction inspite of the wind (which Wyoming always has).

All around another great Cigar by Tatuaje. I'm really beginning to like the marca based on the several I have had so far. 

That's a Jericho Hill Lancero by Crowned Heads actually. A good lancero in its own right as well. Love the Tat Black Label Petit Lanceros though, one of my favorite NCs

A very enjoyable Punch Punch SOP NOV 19 paired with a margarita

I actually just realized my mistake when I went to dig out my evening Cigar and noticed discrepancies in size in what I had in that tupperdoor.

I will correct it everywhere.

2009 Mag 50 and HC Smoky on the rocks. Mag50 was the first CC I went deep on. Bought 2 25 cabs back in 2010. They consistently get better too. 

 

Dec 93 Siglo I. Smooth, sweet and creamy

Solid pairing after a long day of work

Picked up a couple of boxes of BRE MAY 19 Connie A’s and opened one up tonight. Great construction and burn with good flavors but not to the level of the LUB NOV 13 that I smoked a box of and still have a full box left. I’ll enjoy the 13’s slowly over the next number of years and continue to sample the 19’s to see how they progress.

Smoking a glorious Siglo III PUR NOV 16.
After my first round of golf. Had some amazing drives today but couldn’t seem to hit greens and make the putts I needed. Hit 2 par 5s in 2 and only managed a birdie and a double . I’ll take an 82.
Also felt an itch on the leg and found 2 damn ticks on my leg. Pissed off as I wasn’t even in the deep stuff.

Smoking a Monte puritos with my dad in Montreal with the HC smoky.

Old white band puritos. Not sure when ICT switched to the gold bands. Very strong and spicy.

Might light up a Monte 2 in a bit.

Edit: Monte 2. Forgot my BR cutter and couldn't find another one so used a Cuban cut on a figurado for the first time. Working ok.

[Bri Fi]

@Bijan did they ever switch to the gold bands? Bought a box in 2017 and they were white then, well after they would have already switched

I have some from last year and this year that are gold. Guess it's between 2017 and 2020 then.

Edit: I'll check again when I get home. I wonder if I'm imagining things.

I'm curious, since I have never had one, and most likely never will, are the BHK's really that good for the extreme price of them?

In my opinion, not anywhere near today’s prices. I could say that about alot of things these days! I often think to myself if I were ever to sell some of my inventory which cigars would I sell to take advantage of the crazy market we have today. I can’t think of anything better than a BHK. It’s the Cohiba effect on steroids. But to each their own, they’re very good cigars generally speaking... though the ring gauge on the 54/56 is a bit much for my taste. If I had a budget of ~$150+ for a cigar, though, there certainly are other places I’d spend my fortune.

Thanks.
Kinda the answer I expected.
The prices of them, and most cohibas in my opinion, are just crazy, and there are plenty of other cigars that are just as good if not better.
I have a self imposed $25 limit for a single cigar, so there are only 3 Cohibas I ever smoke, and tons of others I like just as much for less money.

Epi 2 cardboard from ‘16. First one I had was bland, with 6 months rest it’s much better 

Slightly disappointed, will try again in couple of months

This is a strange sounding statement to me.  Not because you cant like other cigars as much or more.  You can.  

But Cohibas have a distinct flavor, unlike any other marca, so it's strange for me to see it worded this way.  

For example, wine and bourbon are both drinks, but if I rephrase it the way you worded your sentence, it would sound like this, "This bourbon is ok, but there are plenty of wines that are just as good if not better."  Sounds strange, right?  To me, that is the way your statement reads.

On the other hand, it wouldn't be strange to say, "I'm not a huge fan of bourbon, and I think it is overpriced.  I'm more of a wine guy."

 

And with your $25 limit, I'm not really sure that you ever had a true Cohiba experience.  I guess the CoRo, when it is on, can give you that.  But there is a distinct difference between a Siglo 2 and a CPE, Siglo VI, Esplendido, or Lancero.

Sounds like my day.  I just bought new clubs.  I was smashing the ball with the Calloway Epic Max and the Epic 3 wood.  On one of our par 5s, I was lying 2, just 10 feet from the green (used to be 100 yards out with my old clubs).  

I still ended up with a 6.😂
