[Throttle]

You call the shots, bro.......

[Nightstalker]

I liked SKIN the last time we were there. Cheap drinks, nice ambience, what more can we ask for?

 

Also, I might be able to get a friend of mine to join us once we get the location and time confirmed.

[Nightstalker]

yup. i must admit the cheap drinks are a definite attraction.

 

location's not confirmed for now, but i guess the time is more or less fixed. 8 rite?

[Throttle]

more or less, anyway those can make it earlier go earlier, if cannot go later.

Hi all i just found out that there are Regional Limited Edition Cigars from habanos for Asia Pacific region. The two are Punch Super Robusto and Ramon Allones Estupendos. Do you guys have any idea on this two cigars character and information and what you guys think about how good this two cigars will be?

Yes, they are available at La Casa De Habanos (official Habanos shops) throughout Asia. In Singapore, you can find them at ConDivan.

 

Have not tried. I'm do smoke a lot of Punch and Ramons and if they were to be along those lines, they would be enjoyable.

 

Punch would be slightly woody, toasty with a little nuts and occasional grass. Ramons tend to be muskier and bready, with more leather and slight coffeeish flavors.

i prefer SKIN cos:

1. I never been there before

2. Cheap drink

3. Most important, pretty waitress!!

 

i'm onz for Friday smoke.

[Nightstalker]

i would like to try the Punch Super Robusto. never had a punch before. only a few puffs from throttle's punch punch last time at con d.

 

i guess its gonna be skin this fri then.

[Throttle]

Muay hahahah Sev said it all.

 

Skin, it shall be then.........

 

==============================================

 

Nitestalker, i'm most willing to swop a Punch Punch with you so that you can try. Guaranteed solid smoke. Apr05 batch.

 

Starts off a bit grassy, then moves quickly to give a blend of toasty (yet not burnt) somewhat nutty taste. Not too complex but if you are lucky, you'll get the XO flavor too. Kinda similar to the RyJ Hermosos No. 2 in terms of starting aroma .......very good.....

[Nightstalker]

thanks a lot throttle. lookin forward to it this fri!

[Nightstalker]

i guess it'll depend on when doubtfool will be arrivin back here tom. he may not be joinin us though. gotta check wif squid

[Throttle]

Got my box of Ramon SS. Super dark like EL standard.

Smoking one right now.

 

Slightly bitter as usual. Although it has not actually been scientifically proven but I can say base on my years and number of cigars smoked that darker cigars have deeper flavors and all other things equal tend to taste coffeeish and dark chocolatey.

 

Next week will be getting Bolivar RCs.

 

I'll do a Ramon Gigantes tomorrow nite. 2004 batch. Been sitting in there for more than 2 years.

[Throttle]

I will likely be late becos friends from HK drop me a surprise visit and I will have dinner with them tomorrow.

[Throttle]
