What did you smoke today (NC) II

Monday Evening early. Crowned Heads Jericho Hill Long Black Veil...6.5x46. No surprise that what was a simple little trade turned into an all out bombing in the hands of WNYTONY. Now this one required a bit of patience (very rare for me) to allow it so much humidor time before smoking. This was the right time to light up and enjoy this cigar with the usual two cups of good hot coffee. One darn nice smoke. Thanks TONY.

Burn time. An Hour and Fifty One Minutes.

ALMOST as good as the original, but it would take a whole heck of a lot to surpass the original. More pepper, less sweetness

Only had time for one last night

Late riser today. Being up from 2-7am might be the cause? :)

2017 5-Vegas Gold Toro with coffee light.

I used to list manufacturing year (as I did here) to qualify my comments based on age but going forward (almost) all my smokes will be current. I kept too many cigars so that I often lost perspective by not having smoked a particular brand/size newer. My own 'personal comment log' is in my head and the older I get I realize that memories can get scrambled but oddly, perhaps because it involves multiple senses, my memories of tobacco and cigars seems to be relatively accurate. Of course this just might be my brain prioritizing! :)

Smoked my first Macanudo Hyde Park 50 years ago (13) and I smoked several over time and they were unmistakably Jamaican but distinct from Royal Jamaican/Mario Palomino and others. Dramatic change when production moved to Dominican Republic very much the Olor profile that was in fashion then.

I bring this up because new Mac Hyde Parks now have an Ecuadorian CT taste profile. The Mac has more depth, the 5-Vegas brighter but otherwise there's not much difference between these sticks and my preference leans to the latter.

Tat Black Petite Lancero here today, last one in the box oh my.

Had an Oliva Serie O Churchill while cutting the grass this afternoon. Wrapper got a little beat up since I had to bite on it around some trees!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...72d615aaab.jpg

My Tuesday offering is one good old @WNYTONY turned me onto a while back, and have to say they are tasty little sticks.
Tatuaje Havana VI Verocu No.5

Such a beautiful day just screamed for a second round, so I decided to finally try a Punch Rare Corojo

Tatuaje Havana Hermoso tonight

Tuesday Afternoon. Matilde Renacer Robusto...5.2x54. Smoked on front porch on a bright day temperature 68% F. Humidity a lot lower than Monday.
For some reason I noticed more or deeper flavours while smoking this cigar compared to the one smoked on Sunday.
Left wondering if it was the change in the weather or that this one wasn't lit until about two hours after having two cups of coffee.
None of the five or six Matildes already smoked from this box had this level of taste/flavour.
Have to smoke another in a days time to compare.

Morning Pete,
After reading your post it occured to me that while I remember the Macanudos being Jamaican it's alway the Royal Jamaicans that I associate with that location. But I'm pretty sure there was another Jamaican line that I liked as well, but have forgotten what it was.About to call it a night and get some shut eye.
Cheers.
