Hey Kurt, how goes it brother?

These are tasty smokes. Reminds me a bit of the Talisman but the long finish on it has some umami to it. There’s almost like a smokey bbq sauce to the finish. Least that’s what i got from it. The one picture was my fourth one. I like them! 

Cheers!

I’ve seen these around a couple times and haven’t pulled the trigger.

Thoughts? Tasting notes?

I really like them, although I am not sure they completely differentiate themselves from the Punta. Typical SCdlH richness--sorty of buttery molasses. Found the Prado to be a touch stronger/bolder with a little pepper.

creme brûlée and cashews? Good stuff no matter how you peg it.

This one's for you @jakebarnes, sorry it's not as good as some of my prior shots 😂

Against my better judgment, whatever that is worth after a ton of whiskey. Definitely going to regret my decisions tomorrow morning

Crazy good to the last drop

Decided to break out some good stuff. 
Cohiba Coronas Especiales ASB May 07 and some Havana Club Union rum.

Could not have said it better myself.

Working my way through a random box of old singles. This is a Ramon Allones "Especial de Allones," RE Francia 2008. Campanas vitola. Picked it up somewhere in France in 2011, never got around to smoking it. Took off the bands to bring it back into the states.

Draw is firm, burn a little uneven. Initial flavors are very similar to a RASS. Nice but nothing stupendous. If I were blindfolded it would be like smoking a RASS with tight draw. About halfway through the draw is still a struggle, and it gets a bit harsh and bitter and the burn starts to get wonky, so I chucked it. I'd rather have a good RASS.

A pretty typical example of the REs of this era in my opinion...nothing to write home about.

Doing very well thank you my good man. Sure does sound like some flavour profiles that I would enjoy. Hopefully shall get my grubby mitts on one at some stage. Hope all well at your end too buddy.

Birds are singing, dog is resting, wife is out of town, and handicapping has begun. Lovely lazy Saturday with my typical Punch 898 and a fresh re-supply of home roasted Honduran coffee from my co-worker’s grandma.

Juan López Selección No. 2 (RUS MAR14).

A wonderful weekend to you all.

Master Blends 3, Churchill from 2018.
These are very high quality tobacco and construction. An impressive balance of sweetness, strength and bold refinement. These flew under the radar for a while. I'm a big fan. They have responded well to a good rest at 65% rh.

Montecristo#4

[Sir Diggamus]

Tatuaje Negociant Monopole no 4 with a cup of Papua New Guinea dark roast. Perfect little coffee smoke. The others in this line are a more mild cigar. The no 4 is more a medium and punchy while retaining the creamy and bready notes associated with a CT wrapper. Great cigar!

PSP2 on zoom with @JohnS last night.

Edit: apologies to @Lord Verulam the draw was indeed tight!

I just smoked one yesterday and got a ton of floral notes for the first time ever with that cigar. You ever get floral in them?

I had one over the weekend, my first and only - a FoH prize - and was disappointed in the first two thirds but it turned into something wonderful in the last 25 mins. Generally love Punch and am smoking a Short de Punch as I type, very good cigar.
