This was last weekend with Pops and Grandpa, but dug into one of the boxes of BBF's I ordered (September 2012 dated) and shared with them so we could all smoke some. First CC Grandpa had ever smoked and with him getting up there in years and recently diagnosed with Ahlzeimers I wanted him to join us and have something memorable, didn't let him down and was a magic time for all three of us Here's a pic of the three generations...
After that I finished off the evening with a Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Robusto that I snagged from Pops humi (only brought the three BBF's with me lol) and paired it with a Kahlua and Cream. Was pleasantly surprised just how brilliantly those two complimented ands irked with each other.

Thanks Dustin! They were sublime, rnearly as good as I remember them aged, just a little but stronger and not quite as perfectly in married as they are with 1+ year on them.

Truth br told it is my all time No. 1 cigar, been measuring every cigar I've ever had since I smoked this for the first time over a year and a half ago. Great cigar, the mark of what a Fantatsic cigar experience is IMHO.

Yeah, the other box of these that I bought (dress box not SLB like the other) was dated July 2012. I'm leaving those sealed up and resting whole for a few years and just let em age

Look yummy guys. Wished I had acess to a few of em.
But I don't think they will ever taste as good as they looked in those picts with his pops ! Something to be relished and remembered. Lost my pop last year to the same thing. Brought up a lot of fine memories!

Having a Gurkha Seduction. It's a good smoke very smooth and to me a mild smoke. Good smoke output, easy draw. Kinda funky burn but not to crazy. No real flavors popping out on me. I like it but not for the 8.50$ I paid for it.

ill buy an aging box soon, they are too good. I have a couple boxes of their coronas as well. Basically, if I can score 5-10 here and there of a cigar I put off the box buy and buy something else. I'm building my aging stash this year and will be done soon. The BBF and PC are some of the best ROTT production period.
I started the day with an 05 Upmann, then moved on to a mar11 Vegas Robaina that was still a bit young, and am finishing up with a 15 month Johny O dark factory toro. This all came after judging a Rib smoking contest today. 13 types of ribs, and the guy that won was a rookie who used an Emeril smoker in only an hour! Two bites per rib, then the tally, then I gorged this....and can still taste the ribs

I picked up a box with just about a year on them and they're amazing. Between smoking and bombing I think I only have about 6 left. Need to pick up more and put them down for a while. Brett, you gotta try the upmann I sent. Quite the epiphany man. EDIT: btw- so good to see you on here Brett!
So last night was a good time, got to herf with Steve aka Stepas and Rob aka robertgreen at twins in NH ...... Really nice place with a really nice staff and selection. Steve introduced us to one of his smoking buds Jake who was cool. Anyway I started the evening out with San Cristobal Elegancia and finished the night with a Tres Reynes torpedo. Really a good night.
