I am hoping to smoke mine this weekend too.

Shall we say Sunday evening?

I don't mind if you want to do the reveal sooner. Not a problem at all.

No, I'm not fussed either really, as I didn't join in this month

I smoke mine yesterday. This was a very nice smoke.
As other have said, construction was really good. The burn was perfect all the way down to the nub.
Predominant coffee flavour throughout for me too. There was also possibly a slight nuttiness in there.
Maybe a touch of hazelnut.
This reminded me very much of a Monte Open Master that I had quite a while ago. Due to the size I will
take a stab at the Open Eagle.

Cigar of the Month June 2016

Shortest drumroll ever....

This month's COTM was the H Upmann Mag 56 Edicion Limitada 2015.



As you can see from the receipt below, ?450 is a far more reasonable price than the ?730 you'll pay here (mind you, those shiny little EMS stickers must be quite expensive).



I bought these not only because of the price but also because this isn't a format I'd normally buy as I prefer smaller sticks but I must say I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed the one that I smoked.

Hope you all enjoyed it and sorry I couldn't send the bands (they had used so much glue the only way to remove them meant destroying both bands).

I'm surprised many of you didn't work it out on size alone as its a beast of a stick!

After I smoked it I did look it up on the Cuban cigar website...it was the ring gauge that gave it away when looking it up.... great cigar of the month really enjoyed mine....a very good price...cheers for sorting out buddy.

I've not tried mine yet but really looking forward to it. The tabac owner in Lyon recommended this stick over the Siglo VI, he said it's a better smoke for a lower price. I never made it back but now I'll get to try one anyway. Thanks BS [emoji1360]

Well played sir! Saving mine to banish post holiday blues!

Excellent choice BS, haven't got round to smoking mine yet but have tried a couple of singles and really enjoyed them. Still quite a young cigar that will only get better over time. Have a boxed tucked away that won't get touched for a few years. Thanks for putting these up mate.
