Popular Post El Presidente Posted June 21, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2022 My Father La Promesa Toro 6 x 52 It started very well. Mid bodied, coffee, cookie dough. some unrefined sugar notes Very little to no pepper. The only problem I had is that this was a one trick pony. Very good trick but I was bored by the halfway mark and couldn't finish. This was the Toro. It is better as a Petit which I tried in the US. I had an Epi 2 and Upmann Mag 50 later in the day and they both blew it away. Still, as a $10 cigar....more than fine and some of you would love it. 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BlueRidgeFly Posted June 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2022 A summer solstice Siglo IV LGR JUN 17 BCJ MSU JUL 18. After the Siglo IV tonight, this held its own. Might be my favorite Bolivar. And from the few days prior, from my "I end some days staring out into space with a cigar" life... A very good Partagas Short UER MAR 19 RASS MSU NOV 18 Tatuaje Miami Especiales. I've had a couple excellent ones. This wasn't quite there but pretty nice, a typical example. 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good trick but I was bored by the halfway mark and couldn't finish. This is the general problem I have with NCs as well. Plenty of them taste just fine...for a while. Without that twang that I crave, I just get bored. For me, NCs are fine for golfing or blab fests with the neighbors on the patio, since they are set it and forget it cigars. If I'm smoking by myself just enjoying life with the tunes and the dog at my side, I need my CCs. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm smoking by myself just enjoying life with the tunes and the dog at my side, I need my CCs. Agree with you on this a lot. When I sit down and finally relax, I want to put myself in the best position to enjoy that moment. A more or less one speed cigar isn't gonna do that for me. It feels like most new worlds are curated to be sort of a pepper and strong cigar--nuance be damned. And perhaps that is what the market wants. But that is a reason I also sort of don't love them for the golf course--become a distraction rather than a compliment due to the attempt to hit you hard. That said, I really need to get ahold of a few sobramesa brulee blue (but not for the course). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoyo Excalibur, Ashton Cabinet, CAO Columbia, Monte White Label, etc. None of these are pepper punches to the face and none are nicotine bombs either. I wouldn't necessarily recommend these for quiet contemplation but, they're pretty good for the jobs I ask of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Zaphod42 Posted June 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2022 Decided to dip into some of my NC’s. Arturo Fuente Anejo #50, probably 10-12 years of age. It’s fine, but doesn’t hold a candle to any CC I’ve had recently. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love seeing you on the daily smoke section, @El Presidente! Your video reviews are legendary and very informative, but it’s nice to get a taste for what’s getting your attention currently. I’m sure I’m not the only one that would like to see more! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
