My first large ring gauge RyJ - a short Churchill. Was worried it was going to be too peppery for me at the start but it's settled now. Not sure if it's the accompanying dunkel I'm drinking, but I detect some caramel?
Coffee for me too in the sunshine with an Alec Bradley Vice Pressed Double Robusto 6T4. Beautiful construction but too bloody big for the Xikar, good job I bought the Colibri last month because I found out after I had lit and tried to cut it. It was very mild and pleasant but unremarkable. I might try another but a smaller vitola!
I have no idea where it came from, think it was snuck in as a freebie amongst an order of NC's from somewhere. Still, 15 minutes in and it's actually a pretty nice smoke.
HDM Epi No.2 for me this evening. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
I learned a harsh lesson tonight though. I caused the outer wrapper to start falling apart by removing the bands.
I guess I will have these issues occasionally until I gain more experience. It took nothing away from the smoke though.
Went to 1A St James, had a lovely Ramon Allones Petit Belicosos UK Regional Edition today, dragged it out with a couple of espressos while doing a personality test for a job... never got a result, not sure if it's trying to tell me something
Very enjoyable, developing some massive flavour in the third third after a nice mild beginning, ending with honey and sweet flavours. Lashings of smoke.
