Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

[jcgoldner]

What you're referring to with the aroma is common for Cubans, though not much beyond other N/C super premiums' aroma. BUT, El Rey del Mundos are known for their 'etheral' aroma beyond that of any other cigar. The smell continues in it's progression indefinately but suffers, like the cigar itself, from the second vaccuum period between the ages of 10 & 20 y/o. (basically translates to a 'flat' tasting & smelling period). Beyond 20 years, RDM's are supposed to be some of the most amazing tasting and smelling smokes available. What they don't posess in strength they make up for exponentially in charisma the older they get.
MRN is one of the only cigar 'experts' to have published information regarding what I've just discussed. Look it up, it will interest you I think.

Thanks Craig for the in-depth explanation. I'll have to remember to use "etheral aroma" in the future, I like that term already. Yes I am interested and will look it up.

Nothing again today. I'm getting kind of concerned about this cold. It has migrated to my sinuses and I fear it may not be gone by Saterfday.

What are you guys smoking today?

 

[cvm4]

Someone bring some n/c's for Todd! :hysterica

No seriously, hope you get better!

 

[CIGARHead]

Not sure yet...maybe a Partagas Serie du Conn #1. :smokingco

 

[Halon]

Mag 46 again! God damn I love these smokes.
I'll prolly end up smoking another one, too - probably a brazilia or an RP Edge.

Well, I still woke up congested with a sore throat today. Doesn't matter now, it's go time! I'll be meeting up with N2Advnture, Vipe, and Jwrussell tonight so I'll have to update this post after that...likely around midnight.

Gonna grill out tonight with the wife and some friends. Looks like a PSD4 and a Hoyo Epi 2.

I guess everyone had enough at yesterday's Herfs. Looked like a great time!

I having an after dinner Partagas Lonsdale '99 that is really starting off nicely. I hope it finishes as well. I'm trying a new, for me, Dow's 10 year tawny along with it. Nice finish to the weekend!

I had an '01 V.R. Famosos gifted by Dave. It was very gooda Dave!

 

[Moglman]

After a lot of yard work, I had a loooong smoke with an ERdM Tainos. Dang it was tasty.

 

[Wasch_24]

After dropping JW off at the airport I gave Vipe a vehicular tour of DC. We went to Shelley's for lunch and watched the first half of the Philly game.

I had an '02 HdM Epicure #1 gifted to me by Windowrx yesterday. Vipe smoked a Siglo IV.

 

[Wasch_24]

Don Gabriel Corona (definitely all cuban tobacco)
PSD4
'03 Punch RS12
'98 Bolivar CE
'01 Bolivar Churchill

Damn, you guys were able to taste something after yesterday?

[joshua]

Hrmm yeah, it started out with a party short then a boli of some sort, then that H.E. 1, then the RyJ Cedros.
