[Deano]

My first Montecristo Sublime (SE 2008).

Got it in Madrid...

[matt257]

An El Triunfador. Its a 7.5 x 38 lancero made by Pete Johnson (the maker of Tatuaje)

[Deano]

Ah welcome Matt - thanks for posting

I have just joined Deano with a great Sublime EL08.....C'On Jenson....

I have smoked nearly a box of these and they have getting better and better with age. Have you tried anything from Pete Johnson?

[Deano]

Nah I ain't tried anything from him/them.

That Sublime was amazing, one of the best, if not the best, I've yet smoked.

Good to hear the Sublime was good.

I would recommend trying some of Pete Johnson's cigars. He tries to echo Cuban cigars and he doesnt do too bad of a job. I have a couple El Triunfador spare if you would like to try them?

As part of my ongoing "short stop" research to find a good small cigar which is suitable for that 30 minute 'pre meeting' slot I had a post barbeque ERDM Demi-Tasse. (Thanks for the suggestion Stevieboy)

I enjoyed the cigar, good flavour 'pukka' little stick and it lasted the required 20 minutes which was within the short stop specification.

Only one problem, I found myself gripping it between my teeth in a Clint Eastwood/Outlaw Josie Wales stylee and telling my Mother in Law that it was not a good idea to "piss down my back and tell me it's raining"

Otherwise very nice. Only one draw back is the ?/" calculation. Not much cigar for the money.

You're right there Nic but you can get them abroad for about ?45-55 for 20 if you rake around

Try here - VIP have them for $67

Ta Stevieboy, I am just at the start of my comparative data analysis.

Once I have completed the qualative phase I will be moving into the commercial phase and then declare the results. (I am trying to do this to the standard of a CJ competition you understand)

Pish, tosh and B*llo*** (I would show a picture here but as everything is in a state of flux I don't know where to find it)

I had a pleasant afternoon with a Montecristo No 2, tappas and good company.

A perfect de-stressing Sunday afternoon !

I tried one of these Flor de Cano sticks [don't recall the size]. Sat on the beach in the sun.
Really good burn, but distinctly underwhelmed by the taste. Bland and there was something a little Hamlet-esque in there. At least I know I have something to smoke after the pub when I won't know any better. I didn't throw it at least!
