I gave the wife a favorable 10 year review.

Oh wait, did you mean the cigar? It’s very good. Worth the price and if you can pick them up on sale then it’s a bargain. Like JFields said, smoke them now. I do t see them holding up over time. If you have ever enjoyed an Avo then try this.

Good to hear the wife is worth 10 years! LOL

Thanks for the review.

I would not pay the $40 my friend paid in Mexico City, but this was a damn good smoke. Like a Monte had an illegitimate Bolivar baby.

Your impression?

 

[cigars&coffee]

PSD #4 and Pessimist wine red blend. Probably not the most conventional pairing, but that’s how new things are discovered.

LADC NC Corona was surprisingly good. A few years on it and firng on all cylinders.

How's this for a rare smoke? A late 90's Punch Ninfa with a good draw! Not sure they're worth only having 1 in 5 smokeable, but the flavors are huge in these things when they aren't dowel rods.

Your impression?

If you like Connecticut’s with some spice and kick then it’s very good.

LOL the infamous El Dente label. The things we had to suffer, to get a good cigar. Yes cigars from that era were infamous for their poor draw. I have a box of Partagas Lonsdales that are similar in draw.

Last night had an H. Upmann Epicures from 2015. This cigar for the price is a good 40 to 50 minute smoke that delivers.
