Early Thursday afternoon here and decided to light up something a bit special.  LGC Orgullosos - MSU SEP 18.  

It is....glorious😁.  Was absolutely fascinated to read half-wheel's take on the cigar:

https://halfwheel.com/la-gloria-cubana-orgullosos-er-suiza-2018/299464/

It really couldn't be further from what I'm experiencing.  Scored it a 66 which I'd guess is one of the lower scoring cigars they've reviewed - for me, it's easily in the all time top 10.  It was done in 2019 and could be that age made the difference or just box-to-box QC.

No construction issues here, the draw was firm (not plugged) and opened up a bit after lighting.  Did dry box the stick for 3 days or so.  HW also described the cigar as medium-full, to me it ended up a solid medium but 1/2 of the stick was under medium.  Lovely, balanced, well integrated complexity of wood, sweet stone fruits, citrus tang, fleeting floral notes, and a bready/oatmeal foundation.  This cigar has a beautiful, long finish or wood, leather, and very mild coffee.  The body and profile build slowly as the cigar is smoked, it keeps me coming back for more and I need to be mindful of speed.  Looks like this stick will total out at just over 2 hours of fun.

What a way to start some vacation time!

I needed a booster before my third booster shot tomorrow. Plantation always delivers. Sir Winston is a very nice cigar.

PSdP & Mag 50

[Glass Half Full]

Enjoying this VR Famoso (ARS Jun 2018).  

I recall being a bit underwhelmed when these were young but a few years seem to make a big difference (to me, at least).  (Years on the cigar that is   though who knows?)  Got these for just over US$5 each at Conde Villanueva.  Miss that place.

ps:  A bit of bitterness took hold at the end of the Famoso (more age needed?)  ...So, what the heck?  Added a Siglo I (MEL Dic 2016; from our hosts), which brings subtle but very pleasant strength to finish the sunset.

Punch Punch SOP NOV 2019 is hitting the spot. Pairing nicely with a cocktail that I am trying for the first time, The Godfather. 2 parts blended scotch whiskey, 1 part Disaronno. 🥃 Have a great weekend FOH!

Since we seem to be on a Punch Punch run, I’ll add a RAE MAR 15 from a cabinet of 50. Very good again.

Have a nice Saturday morning ... RASS UTL DIC 17

Have a nice afternoon everyone ... HdM ELEGANTES ALO ABR 17

RASS here from a UTL ABR 18 box, psp grade. This is really rich and very full bodied, with a dark, roasted character. I didn’t smoke that much of it due to time constraints, but it would have been a serious kick in the pants by the back third. I could taste it for the rest of the day!

Alas, it’s really not my speed. Too heavy and dark for me. I may put the rest up to trade or just give away because I’m sure someone else will love ‘em.

19 (I think) Punch Punch - I've heard the more recent Punches have been spectacular but this one is pretty good as well!

[Chucko8]

Super Saturday! Cause why not 

Start with a 66 for 1st Third

2/3rd a DC from 1983

Final 3rd 

[SigmundChurchill]

A while back, my local lounge changed the name to “The Montecristo Lounge”.  Well, now they just got these sword ash trays that they are placing everywhere in the lounge to match the name.  They are heavy and solid, but I can’t decide if they cool or corny.  Maybe a bit of both.

I’m smoking an Esmeralda this morning.
