Morning 898 like a savage. Perfect flavor and construction. 98 points.

First post here in years. Wanted to stop in and show appreciation for our host. This was a BRC from El Prez from APR 2015. One of the best cigars I've had in years.

First time trying the Monte WE .... ROTT from our host.

Draw was a bit loose, but it didn't create any issues.   Milk chocolate was the dominant flavor throughout.   There was an interesting floral note in the first third, which became more citrusy in the second third.   Nuts and chocolate to close the final third.   Great smoke - solid 92 points.

Flushing out the foopa works wonders for the libido

We just got back on Sunday.  You're going to love it!

Safe travels.

Last night a guy gave me some of these while I was fishing.  Surprisingly decent smoke. I'd never tried the brand before.

Both of e2 and siglo 2 were disappointing 

Angel share was good

I absolutely love these, glad to hear it's still on point and hasn't faded away.

Good man Tuesday. My second ‘23 Nudie Carlotta after trying one last week (picked up from B&M here in Dublin). Cracking smoke. Not a great pairing, but sure look, I’ll persevere 🙂

If you've never tried Joya, the Numero Uno is pretty good.  The 6 5/8 x 44 middle size is better than the small one in my experience.

What a selection!  I can almost feel the disappointment (though I've never had those three in one day!) 

In case it's helpful (and it's all about personal preferences) --  my experiences with each of those three cigars is that age can make a great deal of difference, adding complexity, nuance and intensity in all the right places.  Even for the Fuente, which I'd wager had the best construction of the three, ...even a couple of years makes a whopping difference to my enjoyment.  

I now try (emphasis on try) to hold most Cohiba and Partagás for 8-10 years (sadly).  Again, to each his or her own, but I've really enjoyed the aged ones, and often don't see a flicker of the same "wow" factor in the young 'uns.

Hope that's helpful, and pls pardon if you'd already waited.  As learned here (by me at least) time doesn't fix everything, ...but just maybe 

All the best,

Romeo no. 3

SOP NOV ‘21

I think I’m going to enjoy a lot of these as the weather gets hotter.

CoSho on my walk to work. My work charges $50 a month to park and the surrounding neighborhood is 1 hour parking, so I walk a mile in defiance (that will show em!)

When you aggressively want to start your day off like a badass--the Party 898 morning. Well done, @Ford2112

Thanks for the tip, I’ve been lucky and built a decent collection of Cohibas that I don’t intend to smoke ( at least regularly ) until year 5 

for Partagas it was from 2020 June Sou box which is really good but that’s just unfortunately a bad stick ! The rest are ready ( they may get better but I don’t have the patience ) 

for the record I’ve smoked them in 2 days I don’t have the palate to smoke 3 cigars a day unfortunately

I'm sure your employer and the neighborhood are feeling the pressure to change their policies based on your defiance walk 🙄

How's the noggin?  Did your eye(s) clear up.  Hope you're feeling 100% after the shit you went through.  Cheers Brother!

Better. Thanks. Still have a slight lump of scar tissue under the scar. I can feel the scar whenever move my forehead and there are sharp pains that are fleeting every now and then. Kind of like someone poking me with a needle, but not hard enough to penetrate, so not too bad!
