I got the meat sweats just looking at this and I'm okay with that.  Pierogies by any chance as your side?  Love the BBF too!  

Yes, pierogies on the side. Very tasty but couldn’t have many. Leftovers for breakfast 😋

Casa Cuba Divine Inspiration

Pretty tasty. For some reason had some of the unique taste I only get from 10+ year old and Vintage cigars.

Also fairly mild and mellow overall

Perfect draw, burn and construction



Padilla 88 Anniversario Robusto Box Pressed

Very tasty and very smooth.

Great burn, draw and construction

DPG My Father Flor de las Antillas Belicoso

Pretty good, but just didn't quite do it for me, so didn't make my bookmarks of nc's to buy again.

Excellent burn,draw and construction though

Not a bad smoke, just nothing special

'14 Montecristo No.4

Excellent taste and perfect draw,burn and construction.

Love these young, but 7 years made this one perfect.

Early morning Behike, sitting on a bench in town with my coffee.

Back home, smoking a Media Luna.

Just waiting for the sun to finally come out.

Very nice smokes.
I have a few of my very first Behikes I'm being very generously gifted, being shipped out soon.
Very curious to try them.

Have my first Media Luna in my tupperdoor of smokes for this month, so still waiting to try it. Really looking forward to it too.

Both get pretty universally good reviews from people so I suspect they will be a real treat.

Happen to know the year on each?
My Behikes are 2017 and the Trinidad is 2020.

Always curious how much of a difference just a few years different production can make.

The Siglo II is one of only 2 Cohibas I ever buy, the CoRo being the other, and love the Siglo II's.

Agreed - both of these are smooth honey. Very tasty. I want to give the III a shot next.

RASS resurrected from the pool (oops thought it was gone and it came back!)  Tank goodness.

You can’t keep a great cigar down

I over did it on the size of the steaks again but both them and the fresh sausages were great. After dinner I used the residual heat as the KJ slowly cooled down to roast  some pecans drizzled with maple syrup and some salt. Delicious 😋 

PTG MAR 20 BBF was spot on.

All this time, I thought you were vegan

@SigmundChurchill Doc, thanks for this Senadores. Enjoyed it by the pool after a little lunch BBQ at my grandparents. You were right though. Need a couple more years to develop. 

Now awaiting my flight to Omaha. Any FOHer’s out there?

Not sure about the Behike.  I just grabbed one from the humidor and brought it with me on vacation.  I'm at my beach house, so I cant even check for you.  The Trinidads are good young.  At least the Esmeraldas and Media Lunas.  I haven't had a Topes that really did it for me.  Maybe with time.  But the other two are ready to go after waiting the traditional 3 month for them to get over their travel sickness.

From the last few days.  A Trini Colonials gifted from @Devo,  Morning El Principe (LGR JUN-18), Monte #4 (AMO SEP-16), La Punta (RAT MAY-20) and another El Principe with coffee - the bottom half of this box has been superstars.

Diplomaticos Nortenos

@Lrabold89

How was the Diplo Canada ER?

Just starting to explore the ER's realm. Have only had a Sancho Panza ER Belux and loved it, and then a Diplomaticos ER Belux that tasted great, but had a bad burn the entire length inspite of multiple correction attempts and the wrapper peeled terribly.

Hopefully just a one off bad one, as I have another left and would love to get more since it was so tasty, but if the construction issues happen with the second one I would have to regretfully pass, which would be a shame as the taste was great.

Would track down some of the Canada ER's if they get good reviews, and you seem like a seasoned smoker from reading your posts, so your opinion will carry some weight.

Yeah, I haven't had a Trinidad with more than a couple years on it and all I've had have been great young. very flavorful.

Haven't had the Esmeralda or Topes yet, they are on my list to buy though.
Dont see much mention of the Esmeralda, but see the topes fairly often and they get consistently good comments though.

Have had plenty of Reyes, great little smoke, the Coloniales are my current favorite Trinidad and also one of my all-time favorites, had a couple Fundadores 10 years ago and my inventory app notes were pretty good for them, so planning to get a couple recent production ones to try, and had a couple Vigias recently and they were good, but weren't really good enough to me to justify the price. Should try a couple more though to give them a fair shot, as they are pretty popular and well received.

I have seen positive comments about the Topes. Personally, I have tried them from 4 different boxes, and I haven't had one that I liked a lot. Which is odd because I really enjoy the other 2.  The Vigia is hit or miss with me, but more often hit, than miss.

'12 Cohiba Esplendidos

Extremely tasty and had a hint of that unique flavor I only get in well aged a mb d vintage cigars.

Very mild, mellow and smooth

Excellent draw and construction, burn was off a bit the entire length in spite of a couple correction attempts, but not enough to be a big deal.

Appearance was beautiful too. Only 1 small thin vein and nearly invisible seams.

A real treat in every regard for sure.
Generously gifted by @David in Denver
Many thanks for his generosity

Punch Short de Punch

Very tasty, a bit on the milder side, and very smooth.

Burn,draw and construction were excellent

Will definitely pick up a box for when I'm in the mood for something milder
