funny enough he said sales have declined a great deal recently

Well they would do if he has nothing to sell!

I might stick my neck out and say the JL2 is better than the D4 and as good as the RASS ....discuss

I'll have to try a few more of each...

Had a good day yesterday, started with an Epi 2 watching the GP. Later on moved on to a Cohiba Robusto, and finished the day off with an SLR DC, a fantastic smoke

JL wins.

This place is going Juan Lopez CRAZY just now ....and for a good reason....how on earth have I missed this brand for so many years

We are on the same page here Stevieboy, JL No2 Vs SD No4 is a non competition IMO.JL wins every time.

[Robusto]

I tell you what.

The JL No2 was A JOY TO HOLD IN THE HAND. There is something artistic, substantial, artisanal (darlings) about it.

It is a sensual stick and a half.
The pudginess of a real bastard of a cigar.

I adore all that.

[Robusto]

Shit!

The D4 Defrocked!

[Stevieboy]

JL #2

I shall just have to step outside and indulge in another one. I can see a box order for some of these in the offing.

Yesterday (Sunday) I smoked a Juan Lopez No2 in the quiet of my garden. I'd never smoked a No2 before, and this cigar was beautiful. A glorious smoke.

In the afternoon, I smoked a FIRE (sent from Mexico) on the beach at Broadstairs with Nic. It was a substantial, long smoke. I did enjoy it - a fat show-offy cigar goes down well with me - but the JL No2 is on my mind and Havana-hungry mouth the day after.

No1

I sat in the garden with a Juan Lopez #1 this afternoon and it's as good as if not better than the #2. This brand is first class chaps....get some in

Finished a box of 2007 JLNo1 around three months ago Stevieboy;lovely things to smoke and as Corona Gorda is one of my favourite vitolas I was well pleased.

They definately are improved with age and I would imagine if you could track down a 2003 or 2004 box they would be superb.

For my final act, I will now smoke a Cohiba VI

Sounds like folks are enjoying fine puros this morning.

I began the day with a Bolivar Bonita (a TJ morning fav) and just polished off a 3 year old R&J Short Churchill. Now, what to smoke this evening?


Happy Sunday, UKCF Amigos!

After two excellent puros todayI finished the evening with the fabulous Cohiba Siglo VI. Just wouldn't seem right to smoke anything less.

Happy Memorial Day, my amigos to the North!

funny enough he said sales have declined a great deal recently, but he showed no signs of closing down? placed called taylors in bond street just off the main high street in brighton.

veeeeeery strange

[daverave999]

Are they closing down or something? Or just incredibly popular?

[daverave999]

[Dammit. Pressed back instead of edit]

well went to the cigar shop in brighton only to find an empty walk-in humidor with nothing left but nicaraguan toranos! bought one of them but its quite dry so leaving it to for a month or two. major disappointment!
tried an upmann coronas major which was very pleasant

[daverave999]

i Had a Ramone Allones specially selected this afernoon with a pint of orange juice and soda in a beer garden. It burnt very evenly, with good lengths of ash before it came off. I think i'll have to buy a few more to test because i think it might be nicer than the PSD4.

If you like those two, I'd recommend trying a Bolivar Royal Corona if you haven't.
