I just smoked a Trinidad Ingenios EL2007 with a jag of Cuban coffee. I enjoyed a lot. First time smoked and I would give 8 out of 10 for this cigar.

Great choice... :top:

[HabanoSy]

My first smoke of the day...

A Cohiba Siglo I, very nice with a good strong coffee...

Cheers, HabanoSy

[tippexx]

Snow watching with a hot coffee and a Cuaba Davinos. Not as good as the last one from my singles box. This was from an 08 box, the single I suspect was a bit older. And, smoking on an empty stomach this morning doesn't help much. Nor, I think does smoking one straight from the tup!

[Deano]

Another P2 for me. Definitely my go-to cigar now.

[HabanoSy]

The P2 is a cracking smoke, no doubt about it... :41:

[HabanoSy]

Just going to finish off my lunch...

Then im going to fire up a Partagas Serie D No.5 LE08... :41:

Cheers, HabanoSy

Bet it's not out off your singles draw... LOL

in the pub at the mo, in front of a raging fireand all I want now is a Punch Churchill to go with my pint and the warmth of the fire....
Punch will have to wait till I get home

[Lee Nub]

Managed to drive into work today, took 90 minutes for my usual 15 minute journey. No water here, no bathroom facilities because of it and I have a fault on my broadband so half my work can't be done

At least I have a Cuban Crafters to look forward too on the way home

[cohibaIV]

At last, a Punch on the go now...BUT a DC and not a Churchill so will be smoking for a while...:cowboyic9:

[monkey66]

A Trini Reyes in the snow. Don't know if it was me or the stick but a lot more pepper on this one than usual, still a very nice smoke.

[MaledettoToscano]

I cannot smoke inside and it is just too cold outside! Nothing today.

[cohibaIV]

At last, a Punch on the go now...BUT a DC and not a Churchill so will be smoking for a while...:cowboyic9:


Half way through.....:rolleyes:

[satch]

Had my usual sarnies at work and then fired up a Trini Coloniale.

Do you know what? It was ruddy marvellous!

Got some strange looks off the lads though.

[SeanP]

Had a Perdomo 10th Anny Champagne today with a nice double espresso. Worked well with the espresso but without it would have been a little too mild for my tastes. Good flavor overall just not the umph that I prefer.

[HabanoSy]

Just finished off a Hoyo Petit Robusto from Jan '05...

Great smoke...

Cheers, HabanoSy

[Masterdj]

I have just fired up a Diplomaticos No2. A Wonderful looking cigar, excellent construction. When you order a single stick you always get the best looking one. You order a box 25 of the same cigar but never gives you the same satisfaction. I also opened a red wine. Cheers

[Ligero]

Just finished off a Punch Royal Selection 11. Don´t know the boxing date because it was a single buy.
Perfect draw and burn, but not really my favourite.....

[snooky]

On my way to the cigar haven at the bottom of the garden , heater has been on for 1/2 hour and i shall take a Monte No2 with a bottle of Jamesons, off to Gatwick in the morning, taxi service, if anyones around for a herf
:smoke:

[HabanoSy]

That's me settled down for the evening...

All this talk of Churchill's has got me going...

I think it's going to be the San Cristobal El Morro... :41:

Cheers, HabanoSy

[mackem keith]

after a busy few days not getting time for a smoke finally i finally get time to light up a cigar chose a Hoyo De Monterrey DC.:smoke::smoke:

[Big_T_UK]

Perdomo Lot 23 Robusto. I have a few Toros but I was sent a single Robusto a while ago. I am snowed in and missing a cigar party in London tonight so I sat in the kitchen and smoked it, very pleasant indeed.

Jimmeh and I tried a Perdomo Patriach Churchill each on New Years Eve and we liked them enormously. We both smoked several sticks over the holiday period but I never got around to writing it up. The disappointment of the lot with the Ashton VSG, the Perdomo blew it away.

shocked to hear that, T...

The Perdomos are great, but the Ashton VSG's are usually spot on as well. Maybe a bad stick.

[skyhigh]

Padilla Achilles edicion especial 2006 from the Gman. Honey sweet to start with with a slight pepper spice on exhale, got more spice the further down it went, most enjoyable.:smoke:

[Masterdj]

I decided to smoke a Hoyo Regalos EL2007 and opened another red wine.

absolutely fantastic smoke Masterdj one of my most favorite EL only have a few left and must purchase another box soon.:smoke:

[Big_T_UK]

Spellbound I think but Jimmeh can confirm, he ordered them.

[Kdot]

I had an ashton VSG recently, nothing special in my books another over hyped NC! Next!!!

Today i'll be smoking nothing! its too damn cold!!! Blimey!!!

[Big_T_UK]

Oh thank goodness you said that Kdot, I was worried I was going to feel a right tit and be the only person not to understand the Ashton thing, phew!

It is FAR too cold so now sat in a cigar stinky kitchen, but I feel better for it. LOL

T.

[daverave999]

Hoyo Epicure Especial on the drive up. You know, I think I just don't like these that much.

[Kdot]

Ive been lucky to try a good few NC recently due to the good chaps on here including RPs, Hoyos, Punch, Man O War, Padron, tatujajajajae...:confused: but have to admit that nothing really beats a good cuban.

The only one I fell in love with was the Padilla 1948 Churchill and Robusto. So much so I plan to get a box as soon as my credit card is unfrozen due to the recent fraud by one of our favorite companies! I guess its like being felt up by your uncle:eek:...the memories:rolleyes:

[Big_T_UK]

Man of war I have heard of but never tried. The Churchill you like is on my list to try, I will hopefully get Jimmeh to track me a couple down when he is over in the US later this year.

never had one yet, how are they compared to the epi no2 which i think is a great smoke.

[cj121]

A nice JL2. Despite finding a small soft spot mid stick, this was delish tonight:smoke:

[cj121]

Hoyo Epicure Especial on the drive up. You know, I think I just don't like these that much.

Yeah, I was thinking similar Sky. Wassup widda stick Dave:confused:

[SeanP]

Party Short to end the night. :cowboyic9:

[Stevieboy]

Hoyo Epicure Especial on the drive up. You know, I think I just don't like these that much.

Hmmmm...me neither. Apart from the Hoyo DC I can pretty much leave the rest of the range alone :cowboyic9:

[Stevieboy]

Un Trini Robustos Extra ce soir avec du Hoegaarden et un video de M. Jimmy Carr...tous les deux était super-bien :smoke:

[HabanoSy]

Spellbound I think but Jimmeh can confirm, he ordered them.

T.

Your right T...

I've had the Tres Mystique, Enchantment, Illusion and the Spellbound and the only one that I didn't like was the Spellbound...

Had a taste to it that I couldn't quite put my finger on and gave me a headache from hell...

I have to say the others were great though... :41:

Cheers, HabanoSy

[HabanoSy]

They just aren't to my taste! You know how some people don't like bananas? It's not because bananas are poisonous or foul-tasting, it's just because they don't like bananas. :D
There's a note in the EE that disagrees with me. I can only describe it as 'artificial vanilla'. I've not got on with the Epi 2 particularly well either tbh.
That said I love the Petit Robusto and the Hoyo du Depute.

Trinidad Robusto Extra :41: :rock:
