Club King today, oskihen asked what would be a good refill for the tins and the petit corona is the same gauge but a few mils shorter so there's the answer.

P2 this afternoon. Very smooth, light spice and leather but doesn’t have the usual Partagas strength

MLW just text to say she won't be back for dinner. I think I'll be ok. Penultimate 2014 ERDMCS.

Members may have picked up on Niela mentioning a new Dalay Limited this year and if you've been around a while you may recall their Robusto Extra Limitadas which are great cigars. So inspired I decided to try their Reserva Natural churchill. The best way I can describe this is a great starter cigar for a wimp because it was a big stick of nothingness. So mild as to be almost flavourless except when I took a draw after a mouthful of Aperol and tonic and was rewarded with caramelisation of the smoke. Odd ash too.

Agree, they're cheap, have a hint of nice flavour, but they're a bit tasteless. I guess for the price you can't complain. Only ever had 2 of them and won't be buying more. Great for a first time smoker maybe.

However, they had a Plasencia Reserva 1898 in their last blind tasting and my god, that's the best value for money I've ever had. Fantastic quality. A salty plum flavour to them and all that for 5.50 for a Toro. A must try! Every one in the tasting guessed it would be a 10€+ cigar and scored it between 91 and 94 points. It was instantly sold out after the tasting.
