BUCHAREST CIGAR CLUB

CIGAR MENU ARTURO FUENTE BETWEEN THE LINES – (4 1/2” (114mm) X 54) This intriguing, barber-pole style cigar uses both a dark and light wrapper, and conveys an interesting mix of sweet cherry, sour cedar, and toasty, herbal flavors. (Mild-To-Medium)

MASTER TUBOS- (4.8” (124mm) × 50) Oily in appearance and solidly rolled. The smoke has a lush texture and is full of leather, coffee bean and spice making for a profoundly full-bodied experience. (Mild-to-Medium)

80

60

Belicosos – (5 ½” (140mm) x 52) A strikingly oily Belicoso that delivers heavy oaky notes underscored by earth, ginger snap and anise flavors. Flavorful, interesting and balanced. (Mild-to-Medium)

ROMEO Y JULIETA

85

MONTECRISTO

No.5 – (4" (102 mm) × 40) Flavor bends between leather and wood. It has an intense earthiness to it with cocoa on the finish. Aftertaste is very slightly vanilla & floral. (Mild-to-Strong)

H. UPMANN

30

EL REY DEL MUNDO CHOIX SUPREME- (5” (124 mm) x 48) This cigar is characteristic for its honey sweet, floral and tangy taste, in combination with a lot of bean flavors. (Mild-to-Medium)

PIRÁMIDES EXTRA – (6 5/16” (160 mm) x 54) The alluring cappuccino hue of this torpedo foreshadows its rich, nutty character balanced by sweet floral notes. The draw is lush and produces a velvety smoke. (Mild-to-Strong)

100

COHIBA

SIR WINSTON – (7" (178mm) x 48) A well made cigar whose flavors and complexity build with each puff. Light cedar and nutty notes become more profound almond and marzipan before coffee, leather and floral intonations. (Strong)

  The Menu:

  The Gathering:

  The cigars selection: The Pyramides Extra of Cohiba was the first module out of stock the rest of the selection with the similar size Partagas P2, Montecristo 520 Limited Edition 2012 and the Romeo & Julieta Churchill, has covered the demand. It appears that night, a majority of cigar connoisseurs were attracted towards the same flavour.

  Thanks 1: Thanks Iosif for revealing that new location that everyone ignored. Your kind implication made our meeting special. I have appreciated the gathering on the terrace… I heard that the main dishes were as good as the starters. I regret that I didn’t have time after midnight to taste them.

  Thanks 2: Thanks Jad for the cigar selection.

  Decision: Next meeting is fixed on the 10th May. Our friend Florin is in charge of the organisation. I will remind you at the end of the month to start confirming your participation.

  Special thought to our friends: Ali, Sotos; Jim; Nicolae;, Johny and Radu. We are waiting to get-together next time;)
