Hoho, I have an epicure No. 2 in my briefcase right now!

 

also have the Serie D No. 4 and the Punch Punch

 

Last nite did a Diplomaticos No. 2...leathery

[William Tan]

The No.4 and punch are rather on the slightly stronger side issit not?

 

How are they? A little description?

[Throttle]

Partagas Serie No. 4 is a bit stronger than the Epicure No. 2.

Toasty tobacco taste with a slight sweet spicy body. maybe 4/5 in strength

 

Punch Punch has a burnt woody taste with hints of nuts. not strong only 3/5 in strength.

 

Both cigars are not too complex in taste but fulfilling with very nutty aromas

Draw is usually good as the ring guage is big.

 

the epicure No. 2 has a distinctive fermentation scent. really quite like stir fried Tauhu, heh heh.....excellent draw and medium strength

Ok fellas

it's my turn to make some noise too

 

Had a El Rey del Mundo Choix Suprème last night, Friend had a Cohiba Siglo VI

 

bought from Oaks at tanglin mall for $30 & $52 respectively

 

Well I'm a total newbie, but must say that I enjoyed the cigar which Throttle had recommended a few times b4.

 

looking forward to the next one!

 

Cheers

I feel cigars are like drinking coffee...

Not like smoking cigarettes which is like drinking water..

 

Can enjoy cigar, but cannot enjoy cigarettes...

 

Anyway I quitted smoking... but Vanilla flavour Cigars sure taste weird...

HAHA... He recommended me the Choix Supreme too. A very nice smoke. If you have time, try the Hoyo Double Coronas. I tell you, that was one of my longest and nicest smoke. No regrets getting that one. Now special offer, selling for $30 at OAKs Tanglin. Not sure whether offer still on.

[Throttle]

For $30 per stick , i must say that the Hoyo DC is one of the best buy , i have heard so far.

 

but do allow yourself about at least 90 to 100mins to smoke this long one....

 

[William Tan]

Just bought the Epicure 2. Cant wait!

 

And regarding the Hoyo DC, yes it's one of the best deals. They still have it on when i was there yesterday. A very nice long and smooth smoke...

[Throttle]

I'll do my Vegas Robaina Unicos and perhaps a Punch Punch also tonite.....

 

 

the week is here!

[Throttle]

today, i'll be doing my favorite DC, Ramon Allones Gigantes + maybe a Punch Punch ......

 

 

enjoy your cigars

[Throttle]

went to double O tonite, wah many xiao mei mei. did a Vegas Robaina Unicos....not up to my expectations...quite a bland smoke....

 

That's gonna be my last Vegas Robaina cigar....bah..

[Throttle]

see you all on Friday, I'm off to Jkt tomorrow morning

[numbergames]

anybody heard of the brand Virelli (spelling maybe wrong) ???? also smooth ..... no foul aftertase....wonder where can buy???

[William Tan]

Just had a Hoyo Epicure 2 last friday.

 

Very amazing smooth creamy draw. But burning was not very good and it kept dying out. And i think i cut the cap a little too much. Will remember to have a smaller cut the next time. The cigar however, was not to my palate's liking. The Choix Supreme was definitely a more familiar one.

 

Next on the line will be

. Romeo y Julieta Cedros De Luxe No. 2

. Hoyo Coronas

. El Rey Del Mundo Coronas De Luxe

[numbergames]

any recommendations on where to get a good selection????

[William Tan]

There's OAKS at Tanglin, Taka, Orchard Point (I think).

Now I go to the one at Tangling Mall. Don't have to go through ERP and the guy there is helpful.

for a novice cigar smoker like me what shd i be looking out for???

[William Tan]

Well, throttle recommended me the El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme. That's quite a good choice for a beginner. Not too strong, but smooth and flavourful for your palate...

[shortie]

Hey William passing that first recommendation around I see! =) he he

 

On another note, a question for those who smoke their cigars at home.

I do not have a balcony so my only choice is to open the windows, close the door n smoke. Question is, does the smell "get out" of the room? How do you take care of the smell? Would an air purifier help?

 

So far I've only smoked at pubs so wld like to do so in the comfort of my own home.

 

Cheers!

[William Tan]

Cigar smoke quite strong. Anyway, i always prefer to smoke outside. If not at a pub or cafe or lounge, the park near my house is a fine location for me. On a hil top, very cooling at night....
