Wow, Partagas in the morning? What kind of morning is it?

To be frank, this Mille Fleur is a staple as my morning smoke. I don't experience them as very peppery as some do, besides that I like some white pepper (which I get from this smoke) on my eggs in the morning. Ramon Allones small club coronas is also a staple for me in the morning, which some also experience as strong where I get mostly floral notes.... Strange how some palates are different!

I have never tried Mille Fleurs before, just checked the app of the local LCDH and found some on stock, will definitely smoke them next time. I do enjoy Partagas cigars a lot, my favorites are Super Partagas and Presidente, and I will never say no to Serie D No.4 and 898. You should try some Vegas Robaina Famosos in the morning, it has no pepper just slight spiciness.

I love Partagas to, since I come from Nicaragua spice bombs. Ive never had a Super Partagas or Presidentes, but they seem interesting. I still have a '20 10 count of D4's, the first was delicious (is that what the D stands for?), but it was a bit underfilled. A robusto in 1 hour for me is way to fast (I smoke this petite corona in 1 hour, a non cuban robusto sized between 5 and 6 inches can sometimes last 2 hours), and I had my normal smoking pace of a puff a minute.

For the budget the MF's are great, a handmade cuban stick for around 5 euros is a steal. The RyJ Mille Fleurs are also great if you like the signature rosewater taste of the brand. Mille Fleurs take a lot of flack from old time cuban smokers, before '02(??) they were machine made and somehow that sentiment is not leaving.

I should check VR sometime at a LcdH, I normally buy my Cubans at a Habanos Specialist which dont carry the brand.

Casa Fuente thanks to @eljimmy . This pic does not quite show how brown the cellophane is. Amazing, ever-changing profile and a nice kick of nicotine. A perfect cigar, IMO.

Hell yeah. I just saw Fuente was releasing some out to stores... I've never had the chance to buy any or visit the Fuente shop or anything, so I am looking forward to snagging a stick or two.. I almost hope I don't like them that much ?

I assume, like all recent Fuente "Kool-Aid" releases, they'll be snapped up by the flippers and the "look-at-me" facebook crowd. If your goal is to not like them, don't even try them! It's the Opus blend under a Meerapfel Cameroon - possibly the best blend Fuente makes. If they release any lanceros, however, by all means grab all you can, consequences be damned.

I've got a good B&M and they're usually pretty good about trying to give as many people a shot as possible with limited releases and the like. If they get lanceros, I might really have a shot, since like most B&Ms these days, toros reign supreme and lanceros aren't that popular.
