Just got back from a lovely escape at the ever welcoming La Casa, left poor Mrs M alone with the crying little blessing.

AJ was his usual excellent self and got to catch up with old and new friends. Look forward to hearing the accounts of a few of our BOTL's who popped their Phonecios cherry tonight.

I had on good and one great smoke.

BOLIVAR Libertador 2007: this was a very nice smoke, sublime size, mine had an easy draw, started off as a nice big Boli and really picked up at the end. Very enjoyable but in no hurry to seek out another (as a premium priced stick).

R and J Romeo from the 2008 Ancient Replica Humidor: This was the best R and J I have ever smoked. Just imagine a perfect R and J profile, lots of smoke and then the last third develops with cream, velvet body and spice. Perfect ash, only 3 pieces end to end ...burnt my fingers on this one.

I would give this smoke a 94-95 and recommend it to anyone who gets a chance to smoke it.

That R&J looks lovely monkey, and sits snuggly in the corner of that ashtray!

Was it expensive, if you don't mind me asking?

It was £37 which is very expensive but OK for a top, rare cigar IMHO.

It was a good evening, nice to catch up with a few people, Aj was brilliant as usual.

Smoked a beautiful Ramon Allones Phoenicio 30<SUP>th</SUP> anniversary , WOW it was strong.

Looking forward to the next one.

Smoked a Ramon Allones Phoenicio with jpmoore and it is up there with the Monte Sublime as the best cigar i have had so far. While the Monte is consistent the Ramon Allones Phoenicio starts off deceptively mild, smooth and complex then half way through builds into a powerhouse of unbelievable proportions yet keeping it's smoothness and flavours without becoming harsh. I'm glad i had smoked it on a full stomach.

My first visit to Ajay's and hopefully not my last. The smoking lounge is fantastic, by far the best i have ever been in so far and the company was great. Now i just have to work out public transport arrangements and find a nice Cuban bottle to take along.
