Popular Post Glass Half Full Posted August 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2021 Ramon Allones 8-9-8 ER Alemania (2016, I believe; again from an assorted purchase) I'm hoping that an eastern European bike trip is still possible for early October, though things in the US are less than promising. Nevertheless, my wife and I have been trying our best to be ready (which is hard to do in the "lowcountry"; our biggest hill is a bridge, which we are riding back and forth over every day :). Worst case, I'll have tried some fun cigars I was hoping to find in B&Ms in Croatia and Slovenia, or in Trieste, and we will be in better shape (despite my cigar fun ) Best case, we will be permitted to travel, and I'll get to find some awesome B&M's (or at least one :) along the way. I gather from a long-ago post from El Presidente, that there should be a good B&M in Rovinj (belonging to Alen Kosanovic), where we are staying for a night (between crazy long rides ...for me at least; here in the lowcountry, I ride a 3-speed cruiser :) Would welcome any suggestions!

The series le hoyo cigars are less that way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a very good smoke but not great as previous ones. It's more towards earthiness, wood, leather & hints of coffee. Cream was on/off but not like the creaminess you get from Epi 1 or EE. Body started off mild made its way to solid med after first third. Construction was good. An enjoyable 70 mins smoke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BoliDan Posted August 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2021 Last night's smoke. Hector Prieto custom roll from @Lrabold89. Hector claims his leaves are in the behike blend. This was very much reminiscent of a high end Hoyo to me. Delicious and a perfect roll. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bijan Posted August 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2021 Super Partagas tonight. Best out of the box so far. Started with pepper and spice then leather and finally sourdough/shortbread. An hour smoke time. Weather finally cooled off a bit and I think the cooler lower moisture weather really helped the burn. Looking forward to better burn even if it means retiring my shorts for a while. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
