Today’s Smoke 2018

[CMontoya79]

Almost as bad. DR Cohiba.

ETA: I’ve had way worse that’s for sure. I used to think these were pretty good.

They’re not horrible. The Cameroon wrapper ain’t bad. But if I recall, they don’t age well.

DEVIN !!!! What's happenin' my man? You crossed my mind a few weeks ago when I saw the Crane's cigar that I'm still holding for that perfect moment. Hope all is well brother!

Looks like the Nocturne version Is it box pressed or round... I can't tell from the pic. The Nocturne (which I do have a box of as well...) just don't pull the flavor up as the Noir does IMO. Both lose a lot after the half way point ... but like I said earlier... if you give em a nice cedar nap ... they are a very good under $5 stick . These are not a power cigar what so ever. Mild... mid medium in strength ... and not very complex. Just a few flavors that show ... but one is a black cherry flavor mixed with a earthy background. Anyway ... this is not a cigar to reach for after a big steak dinner... It just won't hold up. Morning with coffee... or afternoon with sweet tea... that's when I reach for the "BAT".

Michael, great to see you posting again my friend! Hope life is treating you and the family well. Still have cigars that you most generously sent that I need to smoke. Time sure does fly...

Really would like to watch you smoke the bat and ball one day.

How was it? I'm thinking about picking up a 5er.

Quite good. Not too pepper spicy, but plenty of baking spices, smooth, and great construction/draw.

Smoked this today while mowing. Pleasantly surprised at how it held up and it wasn’t too bad either. This was one I received from El Cigar Shop.

 

[Thoughts]

What did you think?

It was awesome. Even to the point that it was hard for me to explain. It had more depth than any medium bodied cigar I’ve tried thus far. It was like drinking coffee with cream while sitting in front of the fire. I even got a little bit of spice and vanilla but the kind that bring you booze, not drink it all and puke on your wife. Thank you again!

Looks Like the new labeled Murcielago...they have a black bat on the band. BBS smokes them...peppery son-of-a-gun.

Maybe just a bit too much booze

Illusione *r* Rothchildes CT... great cigar and it'd be a good deal at twice the price. It might be better than the San Andreas Rothchilde.

Box pressed, Nocturne sounds familiar, so you're probably right.

Yeah, that's really all I got was pepper, not a fan.

But not enough to puke on his wife

Libertador after a huge dinner last night. 70 degrees in KC all night, stayed out way too late for a Monday.

 

[Thoughts]

Amazing price and amazing taste. Completely agree here. One of my go to right now for a short smoke time. I got a little sweetness off it.
