Cigarro del dia - numero seis

[Zedman05]

Tonights Delight.

Half Ashed Unbanded (?)

Smoking one of the cigars I sent out for unbanded just to see what these are like. Lets hope I am not sending out duds.

I hope your wallet falls out of your pocket due to all that extra cash spewing out....those are not cheap my friend.
Still have yet to have one, but I have a hard time when cigars are that expensive. It is almost like stage fright.

Agreed, I wouldn't pay this much for very many, but having said that I am more than willing to buy a box

Last nights Delight.

The last of its kind. Like Kip says "every day is a good day to smoke a good cigar".
They did this blend right, back then. Wonderful finish. Wish I had more. Loads of chocolate in these still.

Had another of the campo cigars Kip and I have talked about. This one was REALLY very good. A little thicker than most, and lots of steady, smooth flavor. Best 5 cents I've ever spent!

I've not had these but the originals (in 07?) were a balanced mix of Monte and Upmann. Have they maintained the blend?

Wow I have not had many of the older ones but that's actually a fantastic description for these

I might have to just cave and buy a box of these already. If I had to rank my top three Connecticuts in the last year or so, it's this at one, Perdomo Small Batch at two, and the AJF New World Conn at three.

I didn't fuck around with my cigars in the aughts. I don't think there was one released that I didn't sample and decide to buy or not. The lone exception being the 2000 Edicion Limitadas. I ended up trying them all (including the rarely discussed Particulares) but it took years and I really only had a soft spot for the Romeos. Unfortunately, I never found a box to buy. My habits changed around 2009. For the better, most definitely. Unfortunately I would have loved for that indulgence to continue through the present. Since this rat hole is continuing beyond where I expected, the notables are as follows:
-2005 Ramon Allones Eminencias RE Suiza
-2004 VR Jubes para 5th Ave
-2006 Partagas Coronas - Every single box of regular production were breathtaking
-2001 Cohiba Lanceros Revisado - In 2004 (?) a large cache of revisado boxes of these were released. They were, quite simply, the greatest Cohibas I ever had the opportunity to smoke.
-2006 Diplomatic #2 - The best "Montecristos" I've ever smoked. Consistantly
-2002 Ramon Allones 898 - I bought these in 2004 because, wait for it, I liked the size. Little did I know I stumbled upon a white whale cigar of immeasurable quality. I gave one to Pete Johnson in 2011 and his response was something like (paraphrasing) I wish I could still get cigars like this.
2002 Bolivar Corona Gigante cabinet - These cigars had the most clean and longest lasting finish I've ever experienced. 12 hours+
2005 "Toboada" Dom Perignon blend - There's a lot of history about these cigars but without getting into their provenance, these cigars were blended to taste like Cuban Davidoffs. To my palate they hit a home run. Unfreakingbelievable. Too bad they can never be repeated.

What I wouldn't give to be able to smoke any of these again. I have one Eminencia left of them all. One.

Over the past two years I have taken that direction in what I want to smoke. A lot of it is also the simple fact of tracking them down and finding them, but truest they are fantastic smokes 99%percent of the time. I wish I had been into cigars in th early 2000s, but given the fact that it meant I would have been an 8 year old smoking cigars I don't thing it would have been a great idea.
I have had one of the RA RE Italia 2005 which was fantastic absolutely fantastic and an 898 2014 phenomenal as well.
