Lonsdale blogs - Seen these?

[nicwing]

I am not sure if you chaps have seen these but one of our friends from Ireland has been blogging about the 12 Lonsdale's of Christmas.

I must be slipping as I missed this! Thanks for the heads up, I'll be checking it out in greater detail.
Some ideas for new sticks to try there.

They are really great reviews. I can't think of the last time I saw a review that stopped half way through because the stick wouldn't smoke.

Trini EL

Very interesting article and I think that the Trinidad EL would be the pick of the bunch IMO. Shame the one in the review was no good.

London Blog!

Nice review. Thanks for sharing!


Oh yeah, I almost forgot...

I have had a similar experience with all my Ingenios. Quite a disapointment considering the price?

Great review and I have yet to have a Trini Ingenios that I have enjoyed (but I know some people rave about them).

I'm pleased to see that the 'classic' londsdale (Rafael Gonzalez) got a good write up.

Really good reviews all round (I agree with the consensus on the Trinidad) and I feel it's a vitola that needs a bit of a push...

I wonder how the Monte D will score; or the Larranaga regional? They are in the photograph and I have smoked them both recently and am curious about other opinions.

Excellent spot Nic. Thanks for bringing it to our attention as I think the Lonsdale is possibly my favourite size of cigar (depending upon my mood, obviously...)

You've also reminded me that I still owe Yiorgos a couple of cigars from the mini-poker series in the summer...

Where have all the Trinidads gone?

What? A push in demand?

What? A push in demand?

The Lonsdale vitola needs a push. It's much more elegant and refined than a robusto.

The Trinidad Ingenios does NOT need a push! I have also never had a good one; the flavour profile isn't Trinidad at all.
