That drink is making me so thirsty....gotta go to the store.
I getting good at making mojitos. No mint, but hopefully I can find some seeds or a plant soon. Best plant to have around! Mojitos, mint juleps.... Mmmm
2013 hamlet lancero. still a bit young but i can taste some great notes of stone fruit, cream, tannins in the midst of the harshness from being too young. strength is creeping up too (in a good way for me). I'm thinking this will age very well!
They are excellent smoke after 2-3 years of age. Age them with low humidity from 65-68%. They are wet now and lower humidity helps and enhanced the flavors. At least that's how I age my new CCs. Good collection Jliu...congrats!

Thanks Rip! I'm thinking they will smoke great after 2-3 years of aging. These somewhat reminds me of the la escepion when they first came out. they were very strong and peppery and now those are some of my favorite lancero-ish vitola cc. these hamlets will be kept in my cabinet at 65 rh a few years. looking forward to trying them later on down the road.

After Jim sent me one of these in a trade and Hilk smoked the one I sent him, I figured Id smoke the one I had from 3/12. Yummy
What did you think? I had a Le Bijou last night and it was great!
I guess, you can say I liked it! Oh yeah, almost forgot....FTW!
