Another Punch Punch after work this late afternoon.
Will delicious do as an adjective?
Totally relaxing has to be noted, too. :cowboyic9:

Indeed! The Punch-Punch is a wonderful cigar.:41:

:cowboyic9: Robusto,

After smoking the Epicure No. 2 for the past few nights, tonight I am enjoying a Robaina Clasicos from a box I recently purchase. I never smoked a Robaina before and find it a wonderful smoke right out of the the box, although a bit young (LPM ABR-08)

Tomorrow at lunch I will smoke a NC - A. Fuente God of Fire Carlitos 05. This is an excellent cigar which deserves a spot in my humidor next to my finest CCs.:hail:

Ever try a FOG? :hat:

[Scottish_Cuban]

I have a housefull and lastnight (thursday evening) we polished off my oldest humidor as i plan to restock it with imports lol, we had i mixture of Monte's Especiales no 2's and edmund's and the last of my donated Cohiba`s. Adivse never to mix them in one evening you have too many complex taste's running riot!! lesson learnt!!!

TJ - What's a FOG?

TJ - What's a FOG?

Apparently me :der:

Sorry, I meant to write GOF - God of Fire:41:

[Robusto]

What's a GOF?... :biggrin1:

[larrysputnik]

Wow, I'd like to see a thorough review of the GOF. They're rather expensive.

[TJCoro]

:oThe GOF (God of Fire) is produced by A. Fuente. It is one of A. Fuente's top drawer cigars made on a limited basis once a year like the Opus OpusX. The cigars are made with the finest aged leaf and is further aged two years after being hand-rolled before being released in very limited quanties through select vendors. They are blended by two legends - Don Carlos Fuente, Sr. and Carlito Fuente. You may be familuar with the Don Carlos line which is very popular, especially in those countries where CC and not available. :usa: (hint-hint.)


I've had the good fortune to sample the Carlito Double Robusto 2005 and 2006, released in 2007 and 2008, respectively.:smoke::smoke:

:sorry:As far as a review goes, I'm not very good at detecting leather, earth, hints of spice or pencil lead. But I can assure you that this is an excellent cigar which, IMHO, revials some of the best CCs.:first: I have a box of 05 that I proudly store in my humidor next to a box of Cohiba Sublimes EL 04. Just today I enjoyed a 06 at lunch and took it to the nub.:41:

:pcguru:If you google "God of Fire" you can see pictures of these beauties and learn more about the cigars.

Yes, they are a bit expensive, but like the finest CCs, they are worth it if you can afford these unique cigar for those special times when only the best will do.:thumb:

Word to the wise - This cigar should be smoked in solitude to maximize the enjoyment:couch2:

My favourite state for a cigar, I think. And in silence.
Sounds like a beautiful cigar, TJ. I'll gawp online, too.
