‘99 Punch Churchills DB - gingerbread, coffee, nougat, some floral notes with some smooth berry on retro. I like these much more than the DC. Such a shame a dozen or more classic Cuban Churchills have been cut leaving only 3 in regular production.

Needs a couple more bands.

2016 Yolanda Salomones Custom Roll - started rough but quickly became a dream smoke making me wish I had more than just this one. Lots of coffee/cocoa with some honey in the second half. First fifteen minutes were wholly uninspiring but the last 2 hours were bliss.

‘02 SP Beli - salty, leather, cedar, velvety soft cream. So many delicate flavors. Retro is all cream. Some nice floral notes second third. Hard to describe my love for Sancho Panza.

Buffalo BILLS - ‘01 RyJ Cazadores

OCT ‘00 Cabañas Belvederes 4 7/8 X 39 - got some mint on the cold draw, then woody, cedar rest of the way. Bush league smoke. Finally put it out of its misery with about 2" left. Completely uninteresting lackluster smoke. Lots of pics to show the interesting look of this old Havana perfecto from...

Great stick! What say you Michael?

‘97 ERDM Grandes de España (7 1/2 X 38 Delicados) - it’s been fun reviewing my smokes in this thread but I feel like I’m gumming up the works so I’ll try and be more brief going forward. Light citrus, heavy crem, strudel - very floral retro. Impeccable construction. Confectionary flavors now...

Happy Birthday!

Thanks for the update!

Best of luck Brother!

‘01 SLR PC Tubos - spent its whole life en tubos - Orange Pekoe! What a perfectly wonderful tea flavor. That’s a first. Draw just a tad firm. Gotta start dry boxing when cold draw isn’t perfect. Especially out of a tubos. Pulled an Epi 2 out of a tubos yesterday and immediately in the dry box...

‘03 Partagas Serie du Connaisseur #2 (6 1/2 X 38) - was on the vHerf so didn’t take any notes. Suffice to say it was damn good. Classic old school Partagas flavors that I only occasionally find in Lusi, P2 & 898 of the current production vitolas. Along with the Charlottes & Lonsdales the 3 PSdCs...

Thanks for sharing your experience Eric. I should have just lit up my own cigar after dropping $80 at high margin and a very generous tip. If the joint wasn’t 4 hours away I would have negotiated harder. Probably shouldn’t have asked at all but I’m dumb that way.

That Prairie Caramel looks amazing! Cheers…
