I have a FEB 06 box buried in the humidor somewhere. People seem to think the Oficios are the ugly stepchild of the three.

People seem to think the Oficios are the ugly stepchild of the three. Had the pleasure of enjoying all three vitolas over the years but unfortunately, I am down to my last few of these ones. ☹️ The Oficios were definitely the most rustic looking of the three releases. Despite their rustic appearance though, the two boxes I went through were impeccable. (FIN DIC05) & (EMA SEP08) No issues whatsoever with burn, draw and overall construction. More than adequate smoke production as well. Although not the most complex cigar, the flavours are well integrated and balanced. Earthiness, notes of coffee and roasted nuts. There is also a subtle hint of sweetness through the smoking experience. The one I just smoked had plenty of legs left, to be quite honest. Hope this helps, my fellow brother. 1

Popular Post Pmo13 Posted February 23, 2024 Popular Post Posted February 23, 2024 Giving the PK a quick seasoning after a long winter. It’s still pretty cold out, so didn’t want to break out something high end in case it cracked or became too cold. That being said, this was actually a pretty nice stick. Not remotely complex, but hard to argue with cedar and sweet cream! 16
Popular Post BossHogg Posted February 24, 2024 Popular Post Posted February 24, 2024 TLP Dec 22 Smoking beautifully! Weather is nice again. It's been so humid here lately. 25% now. I'll take that 👍 22

A project we dropped everything to take on here in Lahaina about 4 weeks ago resulted in the public unveiling of a temporary home prototype this morning, and the official groundbreaking of a 50 home development, to be completed by June. In attendance were the Mayor and our Governor, as this represents the first development of its kind on the West side to aid some of the thousands of locals who lost everything in the fire, and are struggling to find their sense of place again. In these times of uncertainty for so many, it presented a much needed interim solution, and gave people hope. And dammit if it hasn’t given me hope for the future of Lahaina too. I’m gonna enjoy this ‘01 des Dieux, and a dram of Weller 12. Cheers gang! Congrats!! Great to see this happening within the community. Wish you the best! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

Popular Post Fugu Posted February 25, 2024 Popular Post Posted February 25, 2024 Rarely do I find them disappointing, this was. Looks and burn impeccable with a smooth and shiny golden wrapper, someone just forgot to add some tasty leaf to the bunch. Tossed it halfway, broke out a Chicos, and the world was good again. 20
