How do you like the Charter Oak? Give a bit of a description.


Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

I thought it was pretty good, smooth flavors with some chocolate and cream notes. I am going to let the rest sit for a bit to my desired humidity, I am thinking I will like these even better when they're a little less "wet".

From yesterday/last night l had...
Crowned Heads Headley Grange - really tasty smoke, very much enjoyed that aspect of it, however lacking a little in body for my taste..
H Upmann AJ Fernandez - loved this one, another AJ blend I'm adding to my to-get-more-of list
Also had a My father No. 2 (no photo) which was a bit early/young but still very nice.

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

Although Crowned Heads age their tobacco pre and post rolled product it has been my experience 6 months to 2 years plus to really bring out their flavors. Especially in the Headley Grange and Jericho Hill lines.

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

Thanks for the tip dijit!! Yeah I'm still kind of early in the game as far as trying a lot of new stuff, but I will definitely make a note to set some aside to rest longer.
Thinking once I get some empty boxes (currently have none to spare thanks to all the 5 & 10 packs I've ordered recently) that I will designate a few to put some cigars in that will benefit from some age...pepin blue, black & white are definitely in the early running, but will make a note to add some Crowned Heads to that list as well! :)

LADC Edicion Especial - been trying to leave a box of these alone in the humidor but couldn't resist - I love these things, spectacular cigar!

601 Blue Robusto in honor of our favorite madurowhore...Mac!

Rest in peace brother!

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

I was digging around in the coolerdor today, hoping to find something... and I did. This came to me a few years back from Mac... I'd been saving it for a special occasion. Today I fired it up in memory of him.

It was amazing!

My favorite of the Oliva line

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

I am still a bigger fan of the Serie V, but these are nice. Too bad they are all gone (unless of course you find some stashed away somewhere).

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

Last night I actually only smoked th S & B so the Fausto is on deck later. The S & B is many years old and was a slow burning Full body full strength little bugger so I was done hah.

Tonight first cigar up is thanks to Massphatness.

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

It was good. I only had the one as it came from some great CA brother in a lottery I won. It was a typical good quality Connecticut shade cigar which isn’t normally something I reach for but it was an early morning cigar and fit the bill nicely.

Construction was great, flavors on point of cream and cedar, burn great.

Last night -

Don Pepin Blue - ive come to realize that Pepin's stuff benefits immensely from longer spells in the humidor and BOY does that pay off! Wonderful, well rounded cigar, easily in my current top 5 (the Cuban classic is in there too). Hear a lot of people toss around the label "Fuente whore", so I suspect that makes me a "Pepin prostitute":wnr

And this morning -

GotF Apollo - amazing as always, the cigar that made cigars a "once in a while treat" for me to "holy moly, I need to smoke as many quality cigars as I can afford" :tu

This afternoon -

Punch Signature - one of the most leathery profiles I've smoked to date. Imagine rolling up Henry Winkler/The Fonz in a cigar and smoking it. Minus the all the hair. Ayyyyy. :tu

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

AVO Classic, which went surprisingly well with some Ardbeg 10.

CAO La Traviata - Love these things, affordable, consistent and most importantly, delicious! Down to only 3-4 boxes in the humidor, which means it's time to order more!! :lr in all seriousness though, i do need to get around to trying the La Traviata maduro...
