I don't get much chance to smoke much but I recently had a La Opulencia from My Father, and had high hopes based on all the reviews. It had lots of peppery notes and that is about it, pretty 1-dimentional. Sorry no pic, my hands aren't as pretty as the folxs in this thread.

I got it from a walk-in humidor and kept it seal in plastic for 3 days till I had time to smoke it. Could it be that it dried out to much and that was the issue? I smoked it pretty slow in hopes that it wouldn't get harsh and it never really did.

Hola Boys! Long time no post. In Guatemala City now having a brew & a stogie!

 

[Curtis2010]

OMG!!!!

During the last guys trip to Belize/Guatemala I brewed a "brochette" at my place in Guatemala. This is mead made from caramelized honey. I planned to be back within a year to try it...now almost 3 years later...it is fooking amazing!!! Majic starts to happen with meads over 1 year...this one is incredible.

Great combo w a Partagas Serie D No. 4!

Life in the Jungle is good too!!!

Sad, but it seems just a bunch of pics of hands and cigars. I enjoy a good butt as much or more than most but don't take pics of 'em.

I think we lost some people with whatever happened to the old thread. Kier seems to be on hiatus. Winter time in NA definitely puts a damper on cigar time for a lot of us as well.

We used to have a few people blending and rolling their own cigars here too.

 

[Curtis2010]

Yes, its been a good thread...not always just hands & "butts".

Used to roll quite a few. The quality of available smokes has sky-rocketed in the last few years, leaving me far behind. There's quite a selection available at Whole Leaf, I noticed so I might give is another try. Brewing has consumed most of my shop so I'll have to dig out a little corner.

I go back and forth with using the forum in general, to be honest. I've actually bought my first house recently, have started my first keezer, and have a garage I can smoke in if I really want now. It's detached and uninsulated though, so not much smoking happening in the winter. I'll get some pics of the keezer etc. next time I'm out there unwinding.

I was just thinking about this thread the other day, enjoying an unusual 60* F day in the mid Atlantic winter

I am guilty of the hand and butt photos as well, I’m not much of a writer and as far as tastings and picking up on cigar nuances I’m terrible lol

Hope everyone had a great holiday season and happy New Years everyone
