[Robusto]

MONTECRISTO OPEN MASTERS

Gifted by Nic Wing last week. It could probably have slept a bit more but I wanted to taste something new.

Definitely a Montecristo but with the volume turned down to a Hoyo level, I thought. No Edmundo mouth-whack.

Was that the general assessment of these Open sticks?

I have to say it passed muster on all fronts despite seeming a tad mild to my mouth.

It was a delicious and peaceful way to pass an hour over lunchtime with my dog.

(Apologies. I think I deleted a post below mine when I was editing something).

Yeah you did, mine. Was wondering what was going on!

Heh heh heh, here we go again

A quick cedros no3 for me while out on the daily dog walk.

[Robusto]

Apologies, mate. Glad you're back in there!

It's a while since the release of the new Monte Opens and I am interested in your views Bryan.
I spoke to Ajay in Teddington last week and asked him how sales were going and he said they were only steady but he believes that they are a beginners cigar and that regular Cigar smokers are unlikely to smoke them all the time but that the are ideal for someone comming to cigars from new as the Montecristo name has great recognition as opposed to some of the more obscure name.

So what price a Cohiba starter stogie next season?

A nice easy start to the week on the work front for me so decided to kick back in the garden this aftenoon with a nice bottle of red and a Montecristo LE06 Robusto...

Cheers, HabanoSy

went to see relatives who were camping at Seahouses and took with me a gifted HdM churchill from the kind JPMOORE, sat in the sun with a cup of coffee and just chilled, marvellous.

BTW Robusto you have a doppleganger in Seahouses mate, hat and all..wasn't puffin on a large one so knew it was an imposter.

[Robusto]

I get everywhere, Sky, but usually with one on.

Just finished my evening off with a Davidoff 2000, nice mellow cigar with light coffee/nut flavours...

Cheers, HabanoSy
