I came to Franklin, NC for a week on Sunday and brought my small travel humi. I grabbed about 10 cigars out of the wino humi and didn't really pay a lot of attention to what i was grabbing. Grabbed one out this morning and it was from Excel on a trade we did way back in 2011. It was unbanded but I remember everything he sent me in that trade was HTF stuff and he overdid what I sent him by 1000. I don't know what it was but it was awesome. Anyone heard from him lately?

[icehog3]

..TheoCincy! Two awesome cigars, an '02 Party Short and an '07 RyJ Ex. 4.

Viaje Green Zombie
Cigar gifted by afranco and thanks!!!


Paired beverage is pure clean tap water.
Cut is a straight cut from my original release Palio that I recently cleaned.

Pre-clip – a wonderful aroma of good fresh tobacco and that nice barnyard manure aroma that tells me this is good Nicaraguan tobacco.

Cold draw – a bit milder then I expected but I get that basic Nicaragua flavor but it's not lit.

First light – oh nice. A very atypical sweetness mixed with wood and some hints of pepper and a lingering acidic tang which I find very pleasant. It's not tannic but more of a pepper bite and tingles my tongue like a wood flavored hot sauce with some chocolate and coffee. Hmmm, Mexican Coffee? I jest but really this is wonderful.

Resting aroma – typical AGANORSA leaf wood and a nice mild resting smoke. Personally this aroma is not too strong and I get sweet smoke that tickles my nose but very pleasant. I do smell that strong burned wood occasionally that reminds me of the remnants of an outdoor fire pit.

I'm just past the nipple and I would say this cigar is in the medium-full range but very smooth with an oily lingering finish of sweet cedar. Time to smoke an inch or so and see how this cigar progresses.

A little over an inch in and the strength ticked down a bit but still medium full. The flavor is a sweet cedar with a sweet tannic pepper bite. The smoke volume is great and the draw perfect. The finish is a sweet tannic tea that covers the mouth lingering for quite a while.

I just read the Half Wheel review on this cigar and I would say we are tracking although I don't get any leather and my ash held on until I asked it at an inch and a half. This cigar appears to be a 2014 release so it's probably better dried out as Viajes in those years were often delivered wet and required some resting time to dry out evenly. This cigar is smoking perfect right now. ( http://halfwheel.com/review-viaje-zombie-green ). He says the blend has Criollo and that explains the peppery cedar but it's a milder Criollo then I tend to taste from Aganorsa farms so it's just part of the blend I would say or the ring gauge is tempering it down a bit.

About half way and I would say the flavors are changing up a bit to become a sweet leather with a mild charred cedar flavor. The tannic bite has become a leather flavor and to me the cigar has become more balanced now as the strength notches back up into the higher side of medium full. There is some vitamin N being detected but I'm not too sensitive to it so it's hard for me to tell but it seems probable as the strength did kick up a bit. This is a a sweet spot for the cigar. Time to ash and try to remove the band without butchering the extraction so it looks pretty.

I'm about where the band was and it's a sweet charred wood with a finish of wood and leather. The strength is now at the top end of medium full and the finish is long.

This is where I will post the review and pictures while I sit and enjoy the last inch. This is a wonderful cigar but I would be careful on the beverage pairing as the flavors would be overpower by an IPA but would probably pair nicely with some Cognac.

Oh, smoking time is about two and a half hours as I smoked it to a half inch left. It ends at the bottom end of full with a charred sweet cedar flavor and a long finish of charred cedar.

Tonight it’s a Cigar given to me by AV8TOR152D from the October lottery. Tonight Cigar is a Tatuaje Black. I smoked about 20 of the 2013 release Blacks in the corona gorda size and while I enjoyed that release, it was one of the Nicaraguan cigars that in my opinion, rolled off with age.

This particular release has everything I loved in a fresh 2013 Tatuaje Black being an oily, pepper tingle on the lips, sweet leather and an espresso quality to the bite and tingle. Note, about 4 hours ago I actually drank espresso so that might taint my palate.

I am thoroughly enjoying this cigar!

These cigars are courtesy of dman4505 (Don) and Porchdweller (James). dman gifted the Olivia V Melanio which was my first cigar. Following that I knew a stout cigar was needed so I turned to the Kristoff Habano that Porchdweller (James) had sent all the way back in the August Lottery.

Thanks gentlemen!!!!! What a great evening and 55,000 BTU’s make for nice cigar smoking weather.

From 4WheelVFR this absolutely stunning VegaRobaina. An oily, pepper, cedar, leather and maybe a bit of citrus like flavors as it tingles my lips and entices my palate for more. This is what I desire in a CC, wow.

From the one and only Icehog, first cigar at the Barn Herf 2018 had to be this treasured gem. Some strength in this cigar as I was feeling the N, yowza. Nice cigar made better by the aroma of roasted pig and Lagavulin 16 Scotch. The Scotch I drank while smoking, the roasted pig I enjoyed after.

Tough for a cigar to suck with great friends, great booze and great food. Honored that you smoked it first, Dave. :)

Did I bite that thing before I sent it? :D :r

[Weelok]

Did I bite that thing before I sent it? :D :r

Hah, no, I arrived while the pig was being pulled apart and I wondered around a bit with the cigar unlit in my choppers cracking open the Scotch and I went a little Sgt Rock on it smelling all that food but after traffic and my not being hungry yet, it was Cigar and Scotch first.

I got a little heavy with the teeth but the cigar was so expertly rolled and so well maintained, it tolerated my barbarian manners and offered up one of my all time favorite cigar moments!

Thank you so much for that Cigar! It was so beautiful it had to be smoked at the annual herf and since I missed last year due to travel, only this cigar could make up for last years loss on my part.

Is there a cigar that can live up to this one next year? I have a year to quest and find the right cigar but this sets the high bar.

[icehog3]

You're more than welcome, Dave.... and remind me a couple weeks before you head there next year and I'll come up with something. ;) :D

This is my first out of the trade and I feel it was an excellent pick!
Lots of earthy & woodsy notes and just keep getting tastier the more it burns, a definite winner in my book.
Thanks for the excellent smoke Dave!

Black Coral surprised me with a MAW bomb part two and this is the Reynaldo. I know nothing about this but I’m guessing it’s by Reynaldo Gonzalez ( http://www.cigarinspector.com/cuban-cigars-info/havana-custom-rolled-cigars/ ).

This cigar is great and to my amateur palate has an amazing oily texture that gives it a long finish. Flavors are Cubanesque leather, tea, acidic tannins that are wonderful and I only get this type of intensity on Nicaragua cigars, and cedar. The cigar really opened up into a flavor rocket once I burned into the fat part of the Solomon past the nope at the foot.

There is more strength to this then many I’ve smoked so rock on to that.

Almost two inches in and the ash is holding strong. What construction!

Thanks Black Coral for this wonderful and unique experience!!

From icehog, a great Vega Robaina robusta. I assume this cigar had some age on it but if not, wow, this size really shines. Creamy cedar as the core flavor with leather and strength picking up as the cigar progressed. No young taste at all. This was a great cigar for Good Friday and my work travel finally abating for a bit. Great celebration cigar!!!!

Gomeitsmybday gave this cigar to me in a trade we worked out trying to try new cigars without buying boxes hah.

We both share a love of Aganorsa leaf and this is a decent representation of the tobacco. The wrapper seems more fragile then normal but never split or crack so what do I know. Flavors were good but not as intense as a regular Casa Fernandez or Warped cigar.

I would guess this is cheaper then those two and at a lower price, definitely a value but that is just a guess.

Thanks!!

Oh good I'm glad you enjoyed it and I think your review is spot on! I also prefer stuff that is more full bodied but knowing you hadn't tried this one before, I was curious to see what you thought. It's definitely not up there with the higher end Warped & Casa Fern stuff but I think it's pretty solid for its price point, particularly if you can find them on sale.

Btw - I'm planning on smoking one or two out of your sampler later this week but will be on vacation in a cabin in the woods with no cell service (yes, basically like the movie Evil Dead) so I will probably post reviews when I can find a few bars or get back to town. :noon

Montecristo No. 3 or 4 thanks to DMK! This is actually the first Cuban Montecristo I've had and it's very nice, definitely a lot stronger than I expected it to be, which is a nice surprise. :tu

JFR Lunatic Habano Short Robusto thanks to mi amigo, Tio Gato. He sent me some after I posted about having to purchase the El Chiquito due to most places being sold out of the Short Robusto and I must say - with good reason, as the Short Robusto is awesome.
The El Chiquito is good, but draw is way too loose and gets hot before you even reach the halfway mark.
I have to say, the draw on the Short Robusto is near perfect, similar to most Camachos I've had. Medium profile with lots of earthy flavor, really nice cigar. Thanks again for the tasty sticks Tio!

AJF Last Call Maduro Lonsdale - this one is thanks to my buddy Weelok! I'm a big fan of the Habano Last Call so im guessing that's why he sent this one, and it's a great choice!
Wrapper is definitely more rugged than its Habano wrapped relative, what some would refer to as "rustic" I imagine, but no less flavorful! I also like the size, as up until this stick, I'd only smoked the AJF Last Call Habanos in Coronas.
Another great trade with Weelok, this guy knows good cigars. :tu

Okay this has been some time coming, smoked most of these on vacation and was unable to post while I was away...all acquired via trades if memory serves correct...

Weelok/Last Call Maduro - really liked this one! No surprise because I love the Habano version, but yeah really tasty, definitely spicier than the Habano, thanks Weelok!!

Tio Gato/JFR Lunatic Short Robusto - this one was a winner! Much better than the absurdly shaped JFR El Chiquito, I'll be buying more of these in the future no doubt, thanks again Tio!

DMK/PLPC, Dunbarton Sobremesa & HUHC (I think!) - really enjoyed all of these with the exception of the Sombremesa, smoked fine but I think I prefer the Mi Querida...the PLPC was amazing, paired it with my morning coffee and could not have been better! Same goes for the HUHC, amazing flavor, only criticism is that I wish that it were a larger cigar. :D many thanks to DMK!

...AdamJoshua! An '08 PSD4 from a Bruins fan, it's got to bring some luck, right?

Wrong. :( Great cigar though, thank you Adam! :tu

Oh good!! I'm glad you liked them! I was a little worried they might have gotten a little harsh from the shipping but it sounds like the boveda kept them fresh!
The H Upmann #2 is a big favorite of mine, I didn't like them initially, but after some rest in the humidor, they are a wonderful breakfast cigar/go wonderfully with a cup of coffee.

Btw, I would recommend a slightly lower rh for the Corto I sent you, it's pretty dense & oily so they seem to smoke better at the 62-65 range. But that's only a suggestion. :)

No problem. I have a humidor set in the mid 60s for the Warped. I absolutely loved the H Upmann. Was that Cusano the one produced by Davidoff?

Warped Corto thanks to goneitsmybday

[gomeitsmybday]

Yep! I believe that one is owned by Davidoff. Supposed to have 18 yo leaf which intrigued me enough to want to try it.

Glad you really liked the H Upmann. That one is pretty young too, smoking as well as it is, I'm thinking I'll have to find more soon!

[Weelok]

From RevSmoke and his MAW/PIF he sent me. I smoked this last night and really enjoyed this cigar. Thanks!!

From cigarlady7 a favorite of my Dad’s and I haven’t smoked one of these in years. Very nice cigar and as potent as I remember with some nice flavors of nuts and leather. Even better then I recollect!!!!

San Lotano Reqiuem Maduro - courtesy of Weelok! I *think* this was a Reqiuem, all I remember for sure is San Lotano unbanded and Maduro (still saving the Habano!)
This is a very flavorful smoke, especially considering it dances along the medium to medium-profile line throughout the cigar. Starts off peppery and gives way to extremely tasty smoke, always with a touch of lingering pepper, which is really really nice.
I love the size, I wish regular production Reqiuems came like this.
Dave you said these came from Atlantic cigar right? Wherever it was I might have to look for more! :)

[Weelok]

Glad you liked it and I enjoy the heck out of these as well.

They are the San Lotano Small Batch and come in bundles of 20 for a very nice price for VIPs at under $4 a cigar.

Seconds? Over runs? Who knows but good.
