COTM May 2020

Thanks again for dropping them off, Tom. I had the maduro during the week - really smooth and, although not 'full flavoured', with plenty of flavour.

Just finished the maduro.

Perfect draw and burn and lasted a good hour and a half.

My novice version of events... Lots of pepper throughout with some chocolate/coffee to start. Then mostly woody and earthy, actually getting smoother for the final third I thought. Tasty right to the nub.

If I was to guess, the closest thing I've tried recently was an NC LGC or a La Aroma de Cuba maduro (cant remember which one it was). But either way, I very much enjoyed it

I think I smoked em and posted in wrus? I can't tell a cigar from a cigarette tbh mate so zero chance of a guess from me. I enjoyed them both though - especially the maduro.

Smoking the Cuban one today - if I had to guess I would say a Punch Punch - nice smoke 2nd half was better than first - musty earth, leather, woody flavours with a bit of spice

Forgot to post earlier. But enjoyed the Cuban PC today. Very different to the NC with lots of very nice mild flavours. I got a slight nuttiness, mostly cedar with a hint of coffee. The draw wasn't the best, required a bit of fettling with a draw tool and an extra snip after I tried with a punch, but still plenty of smoke and flavour considering that.

Two very nice smokes, showcasing the range of flavours available to us these days. Is it time for the reveal yet?

Well time for the reveal!

The Maduro was a Arturo Fuente Anejo 46 and the PC a Bolivar PC from November 2017.

Hope you enjoyed them!

Just been looking into the AF, seems like it should be a rather tricky one to get hold of over here given theyre only released at certain times, so thanks for giving me the chance to smoke one!
