Merry Xmas all, won't get many smokes today as at non smokers house, but having a 1990 panatella to give myself a kick start to the day. Hope everyone has a wonderful day with their loved ones
I?ve pulled out a couple of special sticks from the depth of the humi for this afternoon...An early 1980s Upmann (a petit Corona I believe, but happy to be corrected) gifted by [MENTION=13371498]Simon[/MENTION] Bolivar and the other, a 1998 Partagas Lonsdale that has been ageing forever and a day. Both look like interesting smokes, and I look forward to trying them... IMG_2947.jpg
Hope you've all had a great day; some fantastic sticks have been roasted i see!
Tonight I decided to flambe one of my three Trinidad Fundadores - as they're singles i purchased earlier in the year I sadly have no clue of the date.
Anyway, a massive knot 2" down plugged my Fun utterly, so i decided to use my perfect draw...lesson here folks, do NOT operate poking implements whilst somewhat soused in Cognac, as you are liable to poke a massive hole through the cigar! DOH! ... needless to say this did NOT remove the knot, and yet also gave the Fun an extra blowhole.
I decided to salvage the cigar by cutting 2" off the fellow - making the lonsdale more of a corona...BUT at least it was smoking, and lasted over an hour! Flavourwise it was a treat; spicy coffee with a dash of cream.
