Tasting Batch no. III - happy holidays



Yes I'm reliably informed that Sam has passed out your next batch for Dec. - Jan.
These are (in escalating order of compensation):
  • Hoyo du Maire and/or Romeo y Julieta Petit Julieta (I am satisfied with the size of my willy)
  • Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story / Oliva Serie G (I have a pale John Thomas but would like a darker Juan Tomas)
  • Hoyo de Monterrey - Le Hoyo des Dieux (if it was longer i'd feel like a god among men)
  • El Rey del Mundo - Choix Supreme (this girth makes me a Supreme Choice for any lady)
  • Bolivar Belicoso Fino (*cough* ... no comment)
The Petit Julieta is a variation on the small theme, the Fuente and Oliva are both non-cubans (Dominican Republic and Nicaraguan) with West African ("Cameroon") wrapper leaves, the Hoyo des Dieux is vintage from 1998, the Choix Supreme is your first robusto (most popular size/format in the cigar these days), and the Belicoso a pretty powerful pyramid.

- Mild-ish cigars (no strong drinks or heavy meals before these):
Petit Julieta, Choix Supreme (a treat with martini bianco in the sun!!), Hoyo des Dieux

- Stronger cigars:
both non-cubans and especially the BBF - that baby packs a spicy punch!

Happy holidays!

Note: the Arturo Fuente is reviewed in the Cigar Blues Faceoff vid, and the ERDM Choix Supreme is reviewed in a comment on the eponymous post.

  1. Note that poll has been set up in the site menu - "your fave cigars so far". Closing before next batch arrives.

    If there is outstanding consensus on a particular cigars i will try and source more.

    (Z and Joel you ain't tried them all but you can still vote!)
