What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

[rmrdaddy]

I am sad to say that the reason he has those is because he very rarely smokes them. His humidor and cigars (there were a lot of different ones in the humidor when he got it) was a gift, now there is only these two kinds left - 2 of the Bolivar and I would say close to a full box of the Punch ones. He has friends that is VERY into cigars and it was their choices that filled the humidor - I remember there was some Davidoff cigars as well, in a box too, but wrapped individually.

It's funny because even though I seen him smoke a cigar once or twice a year, I have always had to open his humidor and smell the cigars every time I visit them.

The stamp on the bottom of the box says 'FPG' new line 'OUSL'. I can take a picture if you would like it?

Thank you so much for the research!!

DOUBLE WOW!!

My head is spinning very slightly!!!!
OK
FPG = Francisco Pérez Germán, formerly Partagás. This is the factory that produced them.
Now, the absolute killer, OUSL = 08/95. AUGUST of 1995!! That is a 13 year old cigar! Now I'M swooning !!!

WELL DONE!!!

Neither cigar was wrapped, but stored in boxes, like the one I posted - the Punch cigar box was very similar to the one I posted but with a different 'man' on. Each box contained 25 pieces and there was a square cardboard 'cigar' to press them against each other.

I can find out tomorrow what the stamp says on the Punch box if you like.

ooh, those should be enjoyed by connoisseurs!! not me..

Well I have the 13 year old Bolivar left, now that I know that, I am going to save it for a special occasion.

Yes! They are just a slightly bit square-ish. (If that was what you meant.)

Yes, that is what I meant. As rmr says, those are pretty special and you still have most of the box left.

Well I dont have them (yet)

[jamespowers]

Well I dont have them (yet)

Well, you know where to find them.

[Darhling]

I just searched for 'Punch Ninfas' and my first hit was cigar-review.org - it says that it has hints of pepper and it does!! THAT was the taste that I couldn't place..

[rmrdaddy]

Bolivar are also typically known for their somewhat peppery quality, with a spicy overtone, and a certain flavor, like aged wheat, if you can imagine that as a flavor.
Please do get the codes from the other box, I'm intrigued now!

Oh wait, ask for the box then.

Both boxes!

Darhling be sure to let us know how the Bolivar is!!
