First time with a Balmoral. Anyone else tried these yet? I'm finding very soft flavors of nougat and nuts. Should maybe have smoked it earlier in the day to capture it all...

Great cigar. Love em. What else can I say.
Every night after I finish my cigars I leave the garage door open almost half way to air out the garage. I go in the house and let the fan run to allow air to circulate. Last night I came back 15 mins later to find someone had come under the door and went into the wifes vehicle and taken some stuff from her car. This is a front attached garage.
Ballsy fuckers. Nothing of any value other than prescription sunglasses taken, but they had our garage door opener. I guess unplugged it is until it gets reprogrammed. Idiots. I hate people who have no respect.
Aww, that's a kick in the teeth. SonofaB. That absolutely sucks brother. Good luck with the process.

I've not had one but love that sense of delicacy in a cigar. I might seek one out.

Might be worth it, but at over $10 each maybe not. It was pleasant, but I'm not going to seek another one out.

^This. I smoked them before and shortly after initial release, and never really put them on my radar.

Man, Iwas really looking forward to this, as my previous experience was really enjoyable" this one, however, had a pretty tight draw and I was about halfway through before it finally opened. Unfortunately, I was at my destination and had to set it down. rats! Maybe, I am hoping, it will be somewhat worthwhile after I relight it tomorrow. Not holding out too much hope, though...

Earlier today... Image
I really like these little guys. Creamy, but with a nice bite on the retro. Good smoke output.

Now...

Bella's Artes. Good aroma, good construction, nice pepper, really woody. Solid medium. Wanted more out of it tho. Gonna buy a couple more; sit on them and hope something good happens to them.

Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace. - Raul Julia

I've been smoking a lot of Brazilian tobacco (mata fina and a Braz habano), so I thought I'd take a step back from that tonight. This cigar was way milder than I was expecting. Even though it has a CT wrapper, this cigar usually has a bit of stoutness to its flavor. Tonight's version was decidedly flat. I've had the box of them just a few months now, and I had one of these just a few weeks ago. I do hope this is just an anomaly...

Do you think your palate is maybe trained now for a bit more oomph ? Now that cigar is flat, where if you were to smoke stuff on the lighter end for a while, you would think those had enough ?

We'll see Zed. I'm gonna fire up an Oliva CT Reserva later tonight. That might tell me a bit more...
