Wäre echt mal interessant. Weiß jemand, wo man eine “günstige” Flasche bekommt? (308€ aus D bzw. 325€ aus A hab ich gefunden.) Dann würde ich mal einen Pre-Split probieren und gucken, ob entsprechend Interesse herrscht.
der Deptford Dockyard Reserve hat mir gut zur Zigarre gefallen, nicht zu dominant. Mir gefällt das Profil, würzig-nussig, durchaus nah am ‚Original‘.
Raconteur (I don’t get the hype) and a Cuban custom roll, a Felipe Prominentes (Double Corona, 49x194).
I think the hype has been disenchanted for a while now… enjoy anyways
Yeah, you guys are too cool for the hype, we get it
Fact is, it’s in the Top 5 of all (semi-)official Foursquare bottlings. I think it’s ok to be excited about it, especially when most of the stuff that’s coming out these days seems to be “miles away from the nectar of gods that we had in the old days of yore”.
I get your point and I agree that most of the new stuff is meh or just OK. I had the new Beenleigh the other day and it was rather bad. But I do not include the Raconteur in the top 5 Foursqaure list, it’s not bad but it isn’t great neither.
Yes, but it’s also okay to find it average, especially considering the expectations the price raises.
I think this should be but on display above every Whisky, Rum, Cognac or Armagnac shelf
2017 Royal Robusto, Upmann factory. Very nice as these are ready after just a few years. Better than the rum
On the other side a simple Zino and a HSE Grande Reserve - nothing special but nice combination though. Aromes of leather and wooden agricole features are supporting each other
I’m very impressed how you manage to store cigars for so long without them becoming unsmokable. I’ve never been able to store cigars longer than about one and a half years. You probably have a pretty professional humidor, right?
I have a large cabinet for the stuff that I’m smoking and two coolidors (120 liter iceboxes transformed into a humidor) for the boxes that I’m aging. On top of that there’s a desktop humidor that holds the unicorns. One has to watch and regulate the humidity but this set-up has worked perfectly for me except when it’s really hot, then humidity raises a little too high for my taste.
ein paar Impressionen von der Cigarworld Hausmesse. Beim spirits around the world Seminar gab es spiced Jamaica Rum…
Be careful of the fire alarm
Lovely cigar. One of my favorite Monte EL’s with the Sublimes.
Saturday night delights: starting in the evening enjoying the Underdog Project Blind Tasting of @zabo with some Cuban support
