Today's Smoke 2017

Celebration and honor smokes, AM, Opus X Belicoso XXX, PM San Cristóbal de La Habana La Fuerza. The Opus was ancient, was from the Tod fathers stash, and displayed all the traditional aged Opus X goodness. The La fuerza, I've never had and was sent my way by one of you kind bastages.

Salud!

An OR La Riqueza Petit Corona while working on the wood pile some more today. Can't say this for all Nicaraguan tobacco, but damn these have aged well! Chocolate, nuts, and a salty/earthy profile.

Among the best releases of cigars ever by Pete/Pepin. Shame to see the brand ultimately flounder.
 
Partagas Perfectos from the mid 50's. Easily the oldest stick I've ever smoked. Thank you so very much to the kind BOTL who gifted this fine cigar. Perfect smoke for a birthday, a particularly special one in which I am thankful for the friends and family I have. IMG_1223.JPGIMG_1224.JPGIMG_1226.JPGIMG_1227.JPG

I was wondering about that Barry... Why?

I noticed it's not easy to find them anywhere. Pete paid a lot of money for the brand name.
 
Wise choice, going deep. I was fortunate to try a No.2 from a Pass, and loved it! These are hard to find these days!

You are correct! And it took about 10 to 12 years for these to start tasting great…
