God! Before you all get your knickers in a twist I have just uploaded my posting in the herf meets area relating to what Jimmeh mentioned. I was going to wait until I could upload the pics but SOMEBODY cannot keep his mouth shut! LOL

A ripe Partagas Lusitanias in the garden sun and in my smoke shack this afternoon. Wonderful.

Yeah um, I hate to say it but, that D4 I had yesterday? Not too sure I liked it.
Actually, it was something of a paradoxical smoke as I'm sure I should have absolutely loved it. Construction looked great, flavour was incredibly full (perhaps too full?) and there was a reasonable degree of complexity.
Started out with an intense wave of caramelised almonds - nuttiness galore. In fact, that really was the predominant/core flavour profile throughout this cigar. During the 2nd third it started to evolve slightly and I picked up some coffee and milk chocolate. Once again though, it all came back to the almonds. I just couldn't get away from that flavour and I'm not sure it's a flavour I like in a cigar. There were also appearances from Senior. Cedar Wood and his pals. Quite woody indeed.
All in all, I would have to conclude that while it was a very good smoke indeed (and I enjoyed the opening and the 1st third tremendously), it probably isn't the right smoke for me in the long-run. I'm very new to the whole thing and while I'd previously concluded that I liked a really full-bodied smoke, last night I found myself nightswimming towards a HDM Epicure No. 2. I was given my first taste of that cigar by the lovely folks at Sautter of Mount Street whilst I was choosing the rest of my haul and I have to say it was a truly fabulous smoke. I loved the largely fruity profile and it stood out to me as that perfect 'every-day' cigar that you can imagine smoking over the newspaper or a good book. Nothing too in-your-face but sublime all the same.
Maybe the D4 is just too manly for this young here smoker? :PComment
