In this case, UF stood for Utterly Frustrating. I pitched it with 1.5 inches left.Quote:

Close to finishing a 2012 CAO Churchill (natural). Several soft spots appeared after lighting but it's burned well. Light medicinal taste (touch sweet) but not as bad as that sounds. I have a couple of sticks remaining but won't go out of my way to acquire more. Long burning, had to re-light after interruptions but it handled that without degradation in taste. Similarities to Romeo Y Julieta but not as good.
Next up will be a 2012 Pueblo Dominicano Torpedo. Smells like a winner. Iced Dr. Brown's Diet Raspberry. Just me and the pond trying to get my sanity back after a tough day.
SeanTheEvans blessed me with this beautiful thing. Thanks!

I've a hunch that you do like the Pueblo Dominicano cigars.Quote:

A question for you Pete, what would you say is the best *real* Sumatra (wrapper) cigar out there now?
Best regards.

I'm the wrong person to ask about current cigars because I fell off a cliff in my knowledge of the business in 1992 (and earlier for cigars). I've had a few Sumatra wrapped sticks, at least a couple of Hoyo de Monterrey (ok) but the one that impressed me most (that I remember) was a La Gloria de Cubana. Can't even say when I last had a Sumatra wrapped cigar nor whether it was genuine. I took their word for it.
Yes, the Pueblo Dominicano (with a little age) really agree with my chemistry. The one that I'm smoking now has at least an hour left on it and it's a bit more sweet caramel than normal. The snork, as always, is lovely and I'm relaxed. You're a very slow smoker and would get the best of of these.
So for me, the consistency of the Pueblos are reliably relaxing and I too can never recover my sanity, but they harmoniously tie things together so that they seem less ludicrous and daunting. That's why the lower BP and serene smile. Some other sticks do this for me as, or more consistently, (Cuban Bolivars and Cuban Romeo Churchill Tubos), but like the song says, Love the one your with.
Regards,
Pete
