Just smoked my first well stored cigar, a Monte Cristo Petit Edmundo from the humidor room at Davidoff in Picadilly.
Quite a revelation, beautiful easy draw, nice full smoke, developed nicely as it progressed and finished in under an hour sat in the sunshine in the garden with a bottle of Adnams broadside. Left me feeling properly relaxed.
Think I'm going to enjoy this new hobby.
Would love some recommendations for what to go for next. When are you lot going to organise a group smoke?
If you enjoyed the Petit Edmundo, you might want to try the following:
Bolivar Royal Corona
Trindad Robusto T
Ramon Allones Specially Selected
Partagas Serie D4
Juan Lopez No. 2 Robusto
Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No 2 (good rep, though I find it too mild....)
....they're all similar length & ring gauge - all cuban (I am slightly biased), although there are excellent non-cubans (e.g. Padron 1926); however, I reckon you'll enjoy these ;-)
