A much needed Capitolio after filling out my tax form. 90 minutes of sweating and going back and forth between anger and despair, why is it so bloody difficult to fill these things out? I nearly threw my laptop out of the window but ended up giving a call to my father in law who helped me with all the additional income crap.

You declare the additional income?!!!

I declare whatever goes through my bank: interest, benefits made from stock sales, dividends and so on. I have to.

So should everyone

Lol.

In France? Definitely, because they will get you if you don't. Bastards already take 30% of what you make on stock sales and dividends and you still have to pay tax on the remaining 70%. Now that's just greedy!!!!

This was the third one that I've smoked so far and it wasn't as good a cigar as the other two. It had a NOV 18 box code so it's a cigar from the second run of boxes. The other two were SEP 18. Both runs were rolled at the Partagas factory (MSU) but it seems that nearly every recent two-banded cigar has been rolled there. This one definitely showed signs of youth which made it a little unpleasant in the last third.

I wrote this on another forum after I've had my second one:

I went for a few singles on top of my boxes and have already smoked 2 of them. Both were MSU SEP18. I have to say that this is the first QdO I had that already is a stellar smoke. Smoking time was around 2 hours and 10 minutes for both. Both were a little under medium strength. No amonia at all. A very creamy cigar with some nice sweet spicy notes, a little milk coffee and CREAM, lots of it. I don't like cigars that are too sweet but they got it right with this one. The sweetness is very pleasant. I only had one Secreto Cubano when it was released it was way to sweet for me, haven't revisited them since.
Construction was spot on, the burn was razor sharp. But I was able to handpick my cigars, so that's probably the reason why. There was no need at all to retouch or relight the cigar a single time.
The last two inches packed a punch, but this is normal for a cigar as young.

I got some of the same flavours, although not as strongly pronounced as in the other two. But some cigars smoke nicely in the first three or so months and then require some rest until they reach approximately 2 years or so. At least that's my opinion.

I will probably smoke another SEP 18 soon for comparision.

Cheers Mike - a very useful write up - thanks for taking the time.
I?m pretty sure my box falls between your two boxes, Oct 18. I think I might light one up this weekend [emoji848]
