H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 1
Smoked 20 April 2012. Age unknown; turned up in the post from C. Gars Ltd that morning. I tried this cigar as numerous people rave about them over on the UK Cigar Forums and I’d not gotten round to trying … Continue reading

H. Upmann Magnum 48 Limited Edition 2009
Smoked 1 March 2012. In humidor since 5 March 2010; box code unknown but obviously 2009 vintage. Every single one of these I’ve smoked so far has been disappointing and irritatingly, this was no exception. Whilst there were some flavours … Continue reading

Overdue update!
Unfortunately, I’ve not had much chance to smoke cigars recently due to simply not having the opportunity. I’ve also been massively lazy about updating this blog… Here’s what I’ve smoked since I last posted. 25 October 2011: Ramon Allones Specially … Continue reading

Por Larranaga Petit Corona | Cuaba Divino
Por Larranaga Petit Corona smoked 17 September 2011. Box code EMA OCT 07; in humidor since 28 November 2009. I’d previously taken this out and punched it, given it a test draw and decided it was too tight to smoke … Continue reading

Juan Lopez Seleccion No. 2
Smoked 26th August 2011. Box code GAS JUN 08; in humidor since 6 October 2009. Smoked this on a rather surreal last-minute late night trip to Wantage. Pretty enjoyable smoke but nothing outstanding, perhaps due to the KFC I ate … Continue reading

Cuba Calling at Gwdihw, Cardiff
Gwdihw, one of the nicest live music venues I’ve been to, hosted what I believe to be Cardiff’s first Cuban cigar tasting event on the 23 August 2011. For those who don’t know, gwdihw (pronounced goody-hoo) is the somewhat onomatopoeic … Continue reading

Weekend cigar round-up
Bit of a catch-up post here as I’ve had quite a mad weekend. Not much detail I’m afraid… Partagas Serie P No. 2 (box code TEB ABR 08; in humidor since 2 April 2009) on 20 August 2011. I’ve not … Continue reading
HdM Petit Robusto | Bolivar Corona Junior
Smoked 12 August 2011. It was the work barbecue today so I thought I’d take the opportunity to smoke a couple of cigars. I started out with a Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robusto (box code GEA OCT 08; in humi … Continue reading

Vegas Robaina Famoso
Smoked 31 July 2011. Box code LPM ABR 08; in humidor since 20 January 2010. This was far more like the Famosos that I’ve smoked and loved previously, but it was still quite tannic. Considering this was now over three … Continue reading
