I'm just on an Acid Earthiness (cheers Mark ). Very similar to the Kuba Kuba at the moment.

Mondays.

Mondays are cool for sure.Started with the Hoyo EP No2 this morning and then another JL pet Corona this afternoon.Cool.

Bought a Petit Edmundo from a cigar emporium (keep watching) and smoked it off langourously with my bud from on here over a couple of cappucinnos (sp?). A great end to a fruitful morning that had kicked off with a RA SC Corona as soon as my missus left the house for her day job.

Just sparked up a NC Punch Rare Corojo Piramide...Love these cigars...as TJ knows...

Cheers, HabanoSy

Nice Hoyo Epi especial (Production release) - wood & nuts - medium to full flavour - nice

What colour are you finding it?

No particular colour this time.
Quite similar to the Kuba Kuba I thought; same supersweet wrapper but less intense. Whether that was due to the smaller ring gauge I don't know, but after a while I forgot it was so heavily flavoured and just sat and smoked it.
I found them both a little overpowering in truth; more an 'experience' than I get from puros. I usually get 'Mmmm' flavours from normal cigars, just richer from the stronger flavoured ones. Whereas the Acids smack you about a bit.
It still felt very synthetic, like the difference between real strawberries and strawberry Hubba Bubba gum. I have no idea why they decided to call this one 'Earthiness' though.

I'm certainly glad I had the experience and I think everyone should try them as they are so unusual, but I don't think I'll be going back for more. Thanks for the opportunity to try them Mark, greatly appreciated.

HdM Petit Robusto for me. I gotta try and keep em for longer, but they are lovely!

La Fuerza to finish up with.Still liking these big smokes.

Punch n/c vs. HdM EL!

Cohiba IV - glad you are enjoying the n/c punch. My favorite is the Rothchild (short robusto), which comes in cabs of 50 for under 30 pesos a stick ($3 US).

Tonight I enjoyed the HdM Regalo EL 07. One of my favorite morning puros, but also and nice end of the day smoke.
