^ nope, trade it to Duwan for a couple CAO America's...you know, since the 4th of July is coming up.

H upmann mag 50

5-6 year old RyJ Church. Twang!!!
subtle sweet fruit. Bread and nutmeg hints at first; and all from the first puff on.
Easily the best cigar I have smoked since FGM Herf!

yes sir, Favorite morning smoke rolled

WHAT!!!!!!! you don't like ccs sdeve

GREAT CIGAR!!!

'01 Punch Black Prince. It will be a sad day when this box is finally gone.

Drooling.

PSD4. 2011

I got some ALT AGO 13s that honestly need some time - I've had 5 or so and 4 have had a fair shot of ammonia.

I buy my own cigars.... I know it's not that common around here anymore but I'm old school.

Had a few over the weekend

H Upmann #2 '12 --- Prefect draw, complex flavors, but the occasional bitter herbal note makes me think these are perhaps too young
SLR Regios '11 --- I just don't know what to make of these cigars. Interesting flavors, but not my favorite. nice change of pace cigar, but not a regular rotation one for me
Juan Lopez #2 '13 --- Fantastic, like a chocolate covered RASS. Darker wrapper than most ELs I've had. I think these and HdM Epicure #2s are two best robustos I've had from 2013.
RyJ Short Churchill '10 --- First one of these I've had with draw problems. I like the Short Churchills a bit, but I find the flavors fall apart in the final third
H Upmann Mag 46 '11 --- Coffee with cream and sugar all the way through. Great smoke, but not as complex as other 46s from that same cab
H Upmann Mag 48 EL 09 --- More Chocolate and pepper than the 46, still good, and I love the size, but I would rather have a cab of 46s from 09 given the choice

Conclusion: I think I'm an Upmann fan.

Turned my nephew onto his first CC on Tuesday.
Montecristo Especial No.2

RyJ Coronitas en Cedro - mahalos to Numi - I'm gonna have to look into getting more of these.

If you're an HUP fan, the '11' Connie 1's are smoking great right now. Pretty awesome smoke at a great price point.

How'd he like it Carl?


I ashed a Santos Genio custom last night from a fella on another forum....it was excellent!!

I'll remember that if I ever see a 2011 box for sale. pretty long wish list already though. :p

Great Day more like it!!! What a line up, I might just roll thru a " few " today as well Scot. How was that Royal Robusto? Been eyeing those....

There you go!!!
Although it WILL take great restraint after getting one, I'm gonna have to get a Visa so hat I may enjoy some of the other Great Buys that happen out there !!

Por Larranga Encanto - gifted to me by Ken - pretty smooth

RASS

'13' CF Custom
'13' QDO Corona
'10' Monte GE

Almost. I did take a break for dinner and then burned the Monte for desert with a wee bit of scotch.

I'm with you on peaty scotch. I love my scotch, but haven't developed a taste for the peaty stuff. Some people love it, but it tastes like bad medicine to me. To each his own.
Glenlevit 12 is a nice introductory single malt. Not peaty and nice flavor. My current favorite is Balvenie Carribean Cask. I enjoy the entire Balvenie line. Another really good one that pairs well with a good cigar is McCallen 15 yr Fine Oak. Little bit o heaven in a glass!
