Just sat out in the unseasonal sunshine with a Partagas Serie D #4.
This was from a tubo and was very grassy tasting so I assume this means too young.

The remaining two are going to be de-tubed and aged for a few months I think.

Just had a cohiba club, a very nice smoke for the price, very good value for money.

Angostura 1919 Rum and a Diplomaticos No.2...

Cheers, HabanoSy

Saint Luis Rey Regios...not bad but not great.

Excellent afternoon yesterday. Gorgeous weather, lots of sunshine, and it's starting to warm up a bit - which is always a plus.

I donned the blazer and tie to head over to the Royal Western Yacht Club for a meeting about a charity reception we're planning to hold there (and a cheeky G&T in the clubhouse, overlooking the Sound). Then wandered via a nice little cafe/bar to the Barbican (after stopping for a Leffe and a bowl of nachos). Finally, as we arrived at the Barbican I sat down and thoroughly enjoyed a fourteen year old Saint Luis Rey Regios - courtesy of Robert747 at JJF's SLR evening last summer. There is something about SLRs, I've had a couple with some age on, and they've both been very enjoyable, but the six or seven I've had at 'standard' smoking age (couple of years) have been pretty horrific, especially the burn.
