Don Jose... La Escepcion

[Emaresee]

Friend of mine, his family is from the northern parts...

Family is so very important in Italy.... but it?s the southern family connections that are the one to worry about!!!

Hehe, I was offered an empty jar when I bought my one box. Turned it down. But the jar is still there, I should probably get it sent before it’s gone

I think it was around ?125-150 IIRC. Not bad at all

All makes me wonder when we might see another escepcion edition...?

Ive the last knocking of a box of selectos finos. If you have them, smoke them. For me, when released they were way way too strong. The last few years blossomed into a fantastic smoke, now they are falling off a cliff. I've five left and they will be gone in short order, last year stellar, this year good but not stellar

But you should get a good cup of coffee

I scrambled all over some Italian countryside to find La Escepcion and finally hit the pot. At retail price. But damn these are good and equally hard to find. IT IS still my unicorn baby and the Selectos Finos are my unicorn longhorn

I find it hard to believe the Don Jose will match the SF, luckily I have a single DJ to try but the format of the SF alone, makes it stand out for me.

I had one of mine last year & I would say it was stellar, hard to believe it would drop off so soon but I will try one after Lent & judge how mine are aging.

That right there is a silver lining!!!!

I love the size of the SF but the DJ beats it hands down flavour-wise.
As mentioned, the SF was pretty strong on release but I found after a few years that they'd lost a lot of strength....so I sold them

Valuable info Steve - I?ll try one of my few SF?s from Simon this weekend to check if I concur. IF I do, I can relax and stop looking further for them[emoji41]

Completely agree with this. I smoked one a few I have left a few weeks back and noticiced straight away the difference. I?ve spoken to another cigar friend of mind who agrees too. I have a few left in the humi and they will be getting smoked very soon..

I believe that it's time to smoke mine as well.
