BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
What CC you smoking?

Punch Coronas
Date unknown, but has to be 2009 or earlier since they were discontinued in 2009
Extremely tasty and very flavorful.
Burn needed some correction initially but straightened out nicely.
Draw was perfect
Construction wise, wrapper peeled a little in 2 places, but not badly, so not a big deal
Overall a very enjoyable after dinner smoke

1947 La Prosa King Clear Havana
Very tasty and with a little bite on the finish. Mostly a nice woody flavor.
Great burn, draw and construction too
Definitely an enjoyable smoke, and made extra nice for its nostalgia

Montecristo No.3
Extremely tasty and perfect draw,burn and construction as usual.
One of my all-time favorite smokes.
Great taste, reasonable price, in right on 1 hour smoke time

Lol, nice.
Apparently we were in the mood for the same thing the last couple days.
I really think the no.3 is the best of the monte's, with the possible exception of the no.2's, which are basically a tie for me.
Plus the no.3's are very reasonably priced.
I'm sure I smoke more monte no.3's than almost anything else in any marca.
Just a great smoke every time

3's, petite Edmunds, &petite#2s are my favorites so far from Montecristo.
The #2's I've had are o.k., but from what I've read from people I expect alot more. I just haven't had a great one.
I have some buried that I try every year or so. They smell and look awesome, hopefully they will come around.
Montecristo is by far my favorite marca and what I smoke the most of.
In my opinion, you really can't go wrong with any of them, even the much maligned Open line, as i like the Open Regatas and Open Masters as well.
Surprising you haven't enjoyed a no.2.
I smoke recent production (2019-2021) all the time and love them.
To be fair, I haven't had any aged ones, so I have no idea if they will get better for you,.
also, I personally don't think aged cc's are any better than recent production ones, just milder and different, but not better, so after smoking all 50 or so aged Cigars I was generously gifted from a number of people, some were bland and unenjoyable, while others were very tasty and flavorful.
It really seems like a crap shoot as to how age will effect something.
Same results with the vintage 1940's and 1950's I had.
I have no plans to ever bother aging anything of mine, and wouldn't seek out or pay extra for aged cc's.
I definitely seem to be in the minority in my opinion of aged cc's though.
Hopefully you will enjoy them once they have some age, but if not, there is no shortage of other great Montecristos out there.
Interesting that you like the petite no.2's but not the no.2's. I would have thought they were the same Blend, just a different size.

H Upmann Connoisseur No.2
My first No.2.
Have had a few of the A's and No.1's and enjoyed them.
Very tasty and good draw, burn and construction, after running my Modus II tool through it as the pre light draw was pretty tight, and the burn needed correction early on, but that happens to me a lot, which I attribute to having to use a standard soft flame bic lighter instead of one of my nice torches since they wont let us have butane cans to fill them.
After those two initial corrections, everything was fine and I was a happy camper.
All in all, a very good smoke, and took right at an hour.
