Just finished my first CC - an aged Punch Punch
Started with a bit of a bite, but soon smoothed out to a velvety smoke.
Bready nutty deliciousness. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and loving the lingering flavors.
Thank you Steve02!!! |

PLPC '16 cab RGE May smoking nicely now
PLPC '18 cab LGR Mar - have tried a few and found weird construction and some burn issues. These were given the freezer treatment (as always) upon arrival but found one so far with a beetle hole. |

Thank you Steve02!!! Nice way to kick it off. Punch Punch are among my favorite regular production Cubans. Fortunately, they are exceptional even when fresh. I go through a few boxes a year. The last couple boxes have had fewer WOW surprises....but all still good. 14's-17's usually had two or three per box that had an extraordinary blast of caramel though the first third or half....nowadays, maybe one from every other box |

Cross thread post. Cuz it was that good.
_______
Diplomaticos - Smooth. Mellow. Nutty. Bready. Delicious. Whoa.
Previously, every connie I’ve smoked had a bitterness on the back end.
What some refer to as a “lemon zest”. What I call just plain bitterness.
Not this, or the Punch Punch before it.
Like entering a different realm of cigar.
My 2nd Cuban. Amazing.
Thank you Steve02!
I am infinitely appreciative X02.
Thank you Steve02!
I’ll tell ya fellas, these Cubans are really somethin’.
I’m thinkin’ they’re gonna catch on... |

Playing tetris the other day and happened across a box of LFdC Asia Pasifico that I forgot I had....I figured after six years, they ought to be ready. I bought them becuase I heard they were nearly as good as LFdC UK, but cheaper. They were cheaper, yes....and excellent, though I don't think it came close to the UK from a couple years earlier. |

My CBud Appreciation Sundays continues with a Jose L Piedra CC thanks to Steve02.
A beautiful early afternoon first smoke of the day on an ideal (and rare) autumn day.
And as a bonus -
Makes me think of my excursions along the Piedra River in the San Juan Mountains of CO.
Thanks Steve. X 02 |

The tobacco is top rate in these and seems to have great potential with some age. This is a marca I have not had many of so I'm unsure of how much age is needed but one year is not nearly enough for my tastes. The one I just smoked had a sloppily applied three seam cap but construction looks very good on the rest of this box. |
