Cigar of the Month August 2014

[Edamski]

I know when we fleshed this idea out we said we'd pay upfront but that doesn't seem to have happened so far. Guess it's up to the host

[tommy]

Me either. How does being the host work? Do I have to pay for the box then get the money at the start of the month?

[Habana-Habanos]

I'm starting to get next month together [emoji4]

Can't wait

[tommy]

I need to get on with it cos it's not a "pop down the shop" cigar.

I'm still to go to mate will either be to to tonight or tomorrow weather depending

[Habana-Habanos]

I haven't, wish I'd have had this instead of the Monte, it's peeing it down here now and has been all day.

Same over here mate! Smoked inside to save myself a soggy cigar; god I can't stand wet puros!!!

I think everyone has smoked now? Didn't hear from Deano; anyone else?

The reason why I go with Party Short,
Now this will sound a little like butters wrote it, but bare with me,
it has a taste like a young boli PC, which I remember tasting when I tried a young party short, but the party short has a slight difference to the taste that I remember distinctively.
so if you can make sense of that you need a cigar

I get you, what I tasted as well just without the experience of a young Boli to write it off against

[ValeTudoGuy]

Right, it's not a RASCC, Boli CJ or El Prinipe and unless the Punch TPC is hugely different to the Petit Punch then it's not that either... So I'm with Mo... Party Short by process of elimination.

[cigarmo]

That will be the bugs they always add a bbq meat taste

[ValeTudoGuy]

Right, let's do this....A dry smell of Cuban tobacco, leather.... And something herbal..... Those old yellow cough lozenges my gran used to have? (EDIT: I just figured it out.... It smells like Metanium, the yellow bum cream for babies! Lol.)

Punch cut and a pre light draw of.... Yeah, sweet tea (Always sweet tea!)

Soft flame toasting light, roast nuts.... Nuts that are just starting to burn.... Caramelised nuts.

Jet flame true light, very creamy with a hint of Almond. Some vegetal tones.

Ok I'm getting something slightly metallic, it's becoming increasingly savoury... still creamy though.

--

Well into the first quarter and spice is taking over, some green pepper in here for sure.

I'm surprised that people are calling this a mild smoke, my one is on the stronger side of medium in both body and flavour.

--

Half way in and I'm getting wood smoked BBQ meat.... More wood smoke that meat, but there is certainly some meatiness in there.

Staying much the same getting into the final quarter, but getting a bit stronger now.

--

Nub, I'm in agreement with HH... Loads of flavour at the end. A little purge and I'm getting floral cedar.

--

I only stopped because it got warmer than I like.

All in all, a good cigar and a good size for me.

[cigarmo]

So maybe a boli CJ then?

ah I didn't think of that one could be, that would be the right size I think, the plot thickens
