taxedman Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 @Burtess .........that Atlantic 15th Anniversary was a 2012 release and now past it's prime. They were at their best at the 2-3 yr. mark with a recognizable Oliva profile, but not as full bodied as the Melanio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk404 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 On deck today is an AJF New World Robusto Wrapper on this was smooth yet the texture felt a little like 2000 grit sandpaper. Can’t remember the last time i’ve run across that type of texture on the wrapper. flavour wise, nothing to write home about. A little pepper, a little earth and somewhat woody. Construction was excellent though, perfect draw, perfect burn, just not my cup of tea flavour-wise. jazie, mcicvara, bikermarc and 11 others 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-A505W using Tapatalk As expected a little heavy on the pepper but as long as I didn't retro I was good. Actually had some sweet flavors in the first third. Uncharacteristically to Nc's this had to be touched up a few times on the burn.Really appreciate trying these...Sent from my SM-A505W using Tapatalk PolarBear, taxedman, Andy and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Jack Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Holy hell, I almost forgot it was NC week. Judging by what I’ve seen so far I’m going to have to play catch up. I’ll start with this Padron 1964 Anniversary Torpedo Natural. taxedman, MattOB, mcicvara and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tricam_bob Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Today's NC is a Fuente Opus X. Smelled like a dark chocolate bar when pulled out of the cello. Perfect construction of course.

Bacchus Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 La Libertad courtesy of brother @bikermarc. A bit of blanched almonds and some wood and caramel but not overly complex.

surreypuffer Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Day 4 A Fuente from 12. I think it's called a Short Story.?? Looks like a mini baseball bat.... Construction is good, draw is perfect. Unlike the other N.C's this week with similar age. This one still has some good things going on. Quite strong still.!.

gk404 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Happy Friday folks! Today I’m smoking a Herrera Esteli belicoso. Great construction, draw and burn are perfect for me. Medium leaning towards mild in terms of strength but great flavours. Nutty and somewhat creamy. No pepper and not a lot of transition as far as I can sense.

Sanchez Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 JDN Joya Black Nit much in the way of transitions but that’s ok. This is pretty much a chocolate bomb but some cedar creeps in.
