TheSquid> Thanks for the review on the Juan Lopez man. Hmm, you've ordered a box of Por Larrañaga PCs? The box of 50 right? Mind if i nick one or two?

 

oh by the way, what is "tua-leng-gong"?

 

Throttle> Haha, I think you've started the ball-rolling for everyone to start hoarding up extensive stashes of Partagas Serie P no.2. By the way, tried Romeo y Julieta Petit Piramide Ed.Ltda. 2005? The super short piramide...

bout the por laranaga, dun mind sparing a few to u guys.

good smokes are meant to be shared eh?

but hopefully i can keep as many as possible to age

cheers

My suggestion for next possible "event"

 

Blind tasting of cigars.

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

Each one bring a mareva size (5" X 42ring) cigar without the band and pass to the next person. Everyone smoke and try to determine what he is smoking. On the spot review of the cigar being smoked.

 

Of course end result is we'll probably all get it wrong but it'll be some fun....

[Throttle]

Con Divan now has live band on tue and thu.

was there last nite. singer and guitarist are very good.

but sometimes the music is a bit loud so nice that conducive for chatting.

 

2 short smokes last nite - 1998 aged Bolivar PC and Upmann Con 1

 

good stuff.

[Throttle]

For a nice light smoke which is kinder to the pockets, you can try Zino Mouton Cadet series by davidoff. It's good to try cigars from different regions although best tasting ones would arguably come from Cuba.

[Nightstalker]

lady boss say no go. stayin at home with her tonite.

[Sev]

did you all went out last night at the end?

 

i done a Partagas P2 yesterday night after a day long revision...

smoke with a big cup of honey + mandarin orange drink. my favourite drink, sweet with a mild sour taste.

 

 

First draw was good, the draw was just nice. few draws away and it gaves a full bodied black coffee taste, bitter. the aftertase was a sligt sweetness left on my tongue. Very smooth with lots of smoke. the burning wasn't very even at this moment.

 

At 1" mark, the burn ring started to auto corrected. The teste started to change from coffee taste to leathery taste. Ash is firm and nice white colour.

 

2" mark, the ask felt off, the burning was good, no tunneling effect. every smoke now gave a very strong taste.

 

3" From here onwards the smoke is thick and left a bitter taste on my palate for every puff.

 

final 1/3, very very powerful at this moment, already feel the buzz.... put off at 1"...

 

very good amoke, a good a the RYJ EL Hermoso No2 but provides a more powerful nicotine kick.

[Nightstalker]

last nite's plans was cancelled. so i ended up at El Sheik wif my other frenz instead. had a ramon allones...

[Throttle]

Hi fellas, back from Hanoi.

 

smoked 7 cigars there...so i will be fasting again this coming week as i will be going to hongkong over the weekend for another smoke out session.

 

nitestalker, the magnum 46 is a nuttier stronger smoke than the ramon SS which is meidum bodied and leathery. I personally prefer the M46 over the RamonSS for taste. You must try a double corona soon. go for the Ramon Allones Gigantes.

[Nightstalker]

welcome back!

 

i prefer the magnum too... the ss was the second ramon cigar i've tried. i find tat personally i dun really like them

[Throttle]

You need to try a Ramon Gigantes....

 

it is very easy and the flavors are smooth and enjoyable. but lack complexity.

[Throttle]

Sad to say, the Ramon SS has been quite inconsistent in the last year or so.

I dont know how true it is but my personal experience for the Ramon SS has been good until this year. seems like production of the SS for 2005 is not that great. at least for me.

 

Will be going to HK this weekend and have selected my smokes as follows:-

 

La Gloria Cubana Tainos

Pinar Del Rio Custom Roll Robusto

El Rey Choix Sup

Hoyo De Monterey Epicure No. 2

H Upmann No. 2

Trinidad Robusto Extra

 

 

Cant wait....I'm still fasting

[Nightstalker]

another trip again so soon? from the no. of cigars u're bringin i guess u'll be away for 3 days? 2 cigars per day

[Throttle]

yea away for 3 days fri sat sun.

 

2 on fri

3 on sat

1 on Sun

[Throttle]
