[TJCoro]

Just finished a Montecristo LE06 which was absolutely superb, packed full of flavours such as cream, coffee, nuts and dark chocolate and the strength - phew!!!

Glad I've got another 24 of these to go...

Cheers, HabanoSy

Glad to hear you enjoyed the Monty '06, senor spy!

I had the pleasure to be gifted one at a LCdH in Mexico the year the came out. I was a nice puro then, but we all agreed that it needed a few years to rippen. So I bought a box immediatly which remains unopened in an undisclosed humidor to this day.

One day, can't say when, I'll "pop the cherry" on the box and give one a go. I will try, honestly I will, to detect the fine flavors you described in your post, but it ain't bloody likely!

Names TJ, TJCoro, and I ain't got the tongue for the fine flavors, according to me bird.

Day 2 smoke-a-thon

Well today was the second day of the smoke-a-thon for my mate James's 21st birthday. I took the old battle wagon (Peli case) to cart the days smokes about in. The day was spoiled by James being gifted a Montecristo A aged edition (1998 I think) by a friend of ours (this after the normal Monte A and the Swiss limited edition thing yesterday) and then him proceeding to lord it up over me, most tiresome, must choose ones friends more carefully. Drinks had at Dunhill (including his first Pimms), Boisdale and Floridita. A visit was made to Sauters to try and source an affordable crystal based humidifaction system for the peli case (failed, was ?45!) and we ran into a guest roller doing his stuff. Must be the fifth or sixth time we have run into him! Here are some pics to give you the idea....

Good Times!

Looks like y'all had a good time, senor big.

And nice pics, as well....except for the last of one the bald guy.

Names TJ, TJCoro, and baldness is a curable disorder.

[Big_T_UK]

Oh cheers! I am not bald, just shaved, it is horridly curly if I let it grow!

[TJCoro]

Bald is beautiful!

Oh cheers! I am not bald, just shaved, it is horridly curly if I let it grow!

It's a good look for you, actually. Maybe I should give it a go.

What do you think senor Big?
