Cohiba007 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 My stock on this line is sadly depleted except for one lone box of #3s. What have you folks turned to now that this fine line is practically extinct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samb Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Have about half a box of #3s... There really is nothing that can adequately replace this line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 My stock on this line is sadly depleted except for one lone box of #3s. What have you folks turned to now that this fine line is practically extinct? have got to the point I don't smoke what paltry levels I have of the #3. Have enough #2 for a year or so. Found some #1's last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I agree that the line can't really be replaced, but I think the 898 profile is in the same family. For me personally, it is a void that shall remain unfilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khomeinist Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Cohiba Coronas Especiales Ditto. That being said, the SDC 2 (at minimum) needs a lifeline from new HSA management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocoins Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 For flavor, the 898. The best remaining Laguito No. 2, the CCE. But there just isn't another cigar with the same flavor in the same size. I've enjoyed the Bolivar German RE, but it's no SdC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigFish Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 ... that's easy! ERdM GdE! Oh ****... sorry, those are gone too! Hmmmm. Okay... Diplomatico #1! ****, no, my bad, some guy with a little **** gave those the can! Ahhhh, yeah, yeah... Partagas Seleccion Privada! Nope, nope those won't work either! Partagas.... Lonsdale! &%&**%! Partagas... Partagas.. ... oh ****! Just forget it. The best cigars have all been struck from the catalogue (JMHO). Thank God I stocked up on some. But it was easy, cause no one else was buying them (incorrect but common thought). -Piggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrink Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Sadlly, these are irreplaceable. The only thing that even comes close is the Party 898V, but it's not as complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because of your constant, incessant, relentless, un-ending comments about the ERdM GdE, I picked up a handful just a week or so ago and am looking forward to trying one (for the first time) soon. I'm sure I'll be thanking you then . . . I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never shut up now! -LOL I hope you are not disappointed. The '03 box that I am smoking from now is what I consider the best in my humidor. By the way, I was thinking of putting together a group review of these or the SdC like I did with the Bolivars. Would you be a player? -Piggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksfull Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I only discovered the joys of the SdC line at the very end. Got two boxes of SdC2's that will have to last, perhaps, a lifetime. I couldn't afford to smoke them all day, everyday anyway. Aren't I fortunate? (bah!) Partagas 898 makes a fair substitute in roughly the same price range... ...and the PCE is a great budget cigar with a similar profile, though admittedly somewhat less complex. A real hidden gem, though... and these I CAN smoke every day. Czar, please, (I'll say it again) please, please, please add the PCE to your line-up if you can get them. A really top quality PCE blows away the average MC4, and would likely price out about the same in a PSP as a standard issue MC4. No contest where the money would be better spent.

joeypots Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 If it's the size you love the Monte Especial are pretty damn good cigars though Partagas and Monte Cristo have very different flavor profiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, no one in his right mind would ever call me a player. Next, I might partiicipate but I am reluctant to do extensive, detailed reviews. I just don't think I'm very good at it. So, I don't know. Last, your group review with the Bolivars was an interesting event and I'd like to participate in a similar one but, well, we'll see. I'll have to think about as the time gets closer.
