Flor de Rafael Gonzalez Marquez CC - smaller vitola

No clue on the vitolas. They were the same ring gauge but one was shorter than the other.

Very unique taste...didn't even taste like tobacco. They were decent overall.

Likely the shorter one was Perla and the other a PC.

Tasty smokes but not everyone likes them.

Yeah, it was a really weird flavor/taste. Never had anything quite like it.

BTW, the shorter one was much better than the longer one.

As with most cigars, they have their own unique flavor profile. I don’t think they taste weird.

Perhaps the source of your RF’s uses sweaty socks in place of humidity beads......

I could never, in good conscience, take your last cigar... especially if it's your favorite of the line. But the fact you'd offer it to me means a lot, Rick. Thank you!

I know for sure it didn't taste like sweaty socks. Just different, like it wasn't really tobacco..haha. Who knows, maybe I am just losing it.

Was just kidding. A vet who hasn’t been around for a few years once reported his cigars had a’funky’ taste. Turns out they had inadvertently and unbeknownst to him, stored with some gym socks.
He let them ‘air out’ for a couple months and they were fine.

I’ve heard some say Perla’s are a ‘poor man’s Monte 4, and to some degree I agree....the Perla does has a profile somewhat similar to the Monte 4.

I always pegged RGs as being somewhere between a Boli and a RyJ flavorwise, but hey, your pallet is you own.

PL Encantos - feel like these need an even longer nap, hints of what it should become.

HdM Epicure Especial - didn't dry box long enough, kind of an own-goal as it required frequent re-lights but had some good flavors hiding amongst them.

Sunday... I smoked a Cuaba Exclusivo, and then a Boli Belicoso Fino thanks to Delta1.

Now... another Juan Lopez #1.
