vision Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 If both are available in a brand, what would you go for? I used to think petit corona since it'll be long filler, but I've been impressed with the consistency of mille fleurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechenman Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 PCs for me...just becasue some of my favorite smokes are of the PC vitla. However, aren't the Mille Fleurs long filler now too? At least the hand made ones like RyJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksfull Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 PCs for me...just becasue some of my favorite smokes are of the PC vitla. However, aren't the Mille Fleurs long filler now too? At least the hand made ones like RyJ. Yep, Mille Fleurs are long filler now. I don't know about PC/MF comparisons. I've looked at Partagas Mille Fleurs, but not bought them. They're about the same price as the Partagas Petit Corona Especiales, but the PMF's are advertised as a lighter blend... so I keep going for the PCE's and have been happily rewarded for doing so! I've also looked at the RyJ MF's, but bought a box of RyJ PC's instead. They're pretty good, but don't necessarily have me jumping up and down. Maybe I'd try their MF's next time, but having had great experiences with other PC's in the same price range it would be hard to make that leap without trying a single first. My most trusted PC's: Bolivar PC (a crowd pleaser) Diplomatico PC (while they last - discontinued 2010) Partagas PCE (my vote for best bang for the buck) Por Larranaga PC (cab/50 only, but so good that won't last long) Ramon Allones PC (good luck - discontinued 2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deemancpa Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Quick question; Which provides more of a full bodied smoke? MF, PCE, or RASS. I generally smoke BPC and looking to expand. Although I had a few Party Shorts...not a huge fan. D- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vision Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 Are you sure the Mille Fleurs are made with long filler? I thought the big change was they are now made with a mat process which allows them to be called handmade, but they still use short filler. In fact, I think my ryj are not made of long filler. ie you can see the chopped tobacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gginflo Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I have boxes each of PPC and PMF's. The PMF's are long filler. The PMF's have a slightly lighter blend. I prefer the PPC's. Good strength and a surprisingly long smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFU Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 As for a fuller bodied smoke I agree with the Party PCE. Strong spice and cedary flavors abound, however I do prefer them with at least 3 or 4 years on them. Worth the wait IMO. I think the RyJ MFs are better OTB but.................not a Partagas.

thechenman Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 RUT abr 09 I'm almost positive that all the newer (and 09 is definitely newer) productions RyJ MFs are long filler hand made cigars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoked one last night, at first it looked like short filler with droppings coming off the cigar but after breaking apart the stub it is indeed long filler.

Yeah...I thought so. Remember reading a year or two ago that they were now long filler and handmade. I do enjoy the RyJ MF and pretty much always have a box on hand. I often smoke them while doing chores in the yard, putting up/taking down holiday decorations, etc. Not complex, but still flavorful and don't require much thought.

You'll find the MFs quite mild in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
