Rafael Gonzalez Petit Corona
Smoked 30 June 2010. Box code SEM NOV 08; in humidor since 28 June 2010. Thought I’d smoke one to establish some kind of baseline. This had gingerbread and marzipan notes much like the first, but well hidden. Slightly tight … Continue reading

Por Larranaga Petit Corona
Smoked 27 June 2010. Box code EMA OCT 07; in humi since 28 November 2009. Thought I’d give another hard PLPC a try to see whether the last one was a one-off. It appears it wasn’t! This was also slightly … Continue reading

H. Upmann Magnum 48 LE
Smoked 17 June 2010. In humidor since 5 March 2010. I’ve had one of these before that was still too young, and in all truth this one also needed a lot more time. That said, it was much improved on … Continue reading

Barbecue cigars
I was at a barbecue last night so thought I’d take a few choice sticks with me. These are what I smoked: H. Upmann Magnum 46 tubo (age unknown-assumed recent, in humi since 21 January 2010) This was rather disappointing … Continue reading

Ramon Allones Specially Selected
Smoked 11 June 2010. Box code TEB ENE 08, in humi since 16 March 2009. I’ve made a conscious decision to start smoking from my boxes that I’ve had longer as all I seem to do lately is complain how … Continue reading

Smoked 6 June 2010. Box code ASE MAY 09, in humi since 1 March 2010. Nothing particularly exciting, but pleasant enough. Mild in body and flavour.
