Hoya with Brazilian coffee
Today's Smoke - 2022
- Thread starter Boudie
- Start date
Putting off getting ready for work as long as possible.
Edit: There are plenty of slow transitions and nice full flavor for the entire first half. White pepper and sweet tobacco pickup cream and a cashew butter flavor. I'm only half way through, but I definitely recommend a five pack to anyone.
This is an example of why I recommend Amendola Connecticut cigars to people that usually don't smoke them.

My first Plasencia at Byron Cigar Lounge in Schaumburg IL.
Pretty solid medium bodied smoke, I'll try one of the stronger lines next time.
Oh yeah...it was their V cutter that butchered the top.
One Shot, One Kill with Ethiopian coffee
Balmoral Anejo XO Connecticut
Today isn't supposed to be a Balmoral day, but I wanted to see if I preferred it to the Amendola Cannoli Connecticut.
Edit:
A hay forward profile that I associate with a more classic Connecticut. However, it has a fair amount of gritty espresso bean flavor with a strong white pepper and some cream and nuts to take the edge off. No real transitions to mention, but the flavors do tend to flip around in dominance with dry hay as the basso ostinato of the blend.
I like it more than most Connecticut cigars, but would give the nod to the Amendola Cannoli Connecticut.

Didn't realize we were "neighbors", Dave. We'll have to grab a smoke together soon if you're down for it.
