cigcars Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 *Due to glitches and sometimes quality falling thru the cracks on the most prominent of the Corona Gordas (the Magnum 46, Cohiba Siglo IV, & Bolivar Coronas Extras), as everyone has been recommending: I would nominate the seldom recommended, overlooked Saint Luis Rey Serie A. Not ever have I had one that was a let down, or one that fell thru the cracks due to normal human error in its construction. They are ALWAYS great, everytime
MoneyPit Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 The '09 Mag 46 box that Lisa set me up with has been one of the most consistent burning cigars I have. At first I didn't really like the flavor profile, but as they have rested they have improved dramatically. I'd definitely pick up a another box for aging if I had the storage space.
El Capitan Posted December 12, 2010 Author Posted December 12, 2010 Thanks everyone for your wisdom and helping me to make a decision. A convincing win for the Upmann Mag 46. Just emailed Lisa and asked her to pick me out a nice box. Cheers, Mark
rdb6 Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 The Boli is my favorite. Cohiba a close second.
PigFish Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Hmmm! I would say that you left out the best of the bunch and that is the RGCE. I happen to believe the RGCE is one of the best cigars money can buy! -Piggy

Due to further recommendation (and since I'm certain it's gone past the 12month period as prescribed on the box) I just may have it for the Bernard Hopkins vs. Jean Pascal fight tonight. Thanks, my RWWJ friend! (lol)
PigFish Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 * Thanks, my RWWJ friend! (lol) Right Winged Whacko Jackass??? -LOL Where is that report a post button when you need it? Better yet, where's my Glock! Cheers kiddo! -R
SCgarman Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 What about the Juan Lopez #1? I have a box dated Oct05 and they are a Great stick! Excellent construction, nice aroma and a great flavor.
BonVivant Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 Destroyed the thread: Punch SS no.2 and Upmann Super Corona ... Or to save my face: Upmann Mag 46 from at least '03
ColKurtz Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 ...I'm a fan of Punch Punch but they dont seem to get a whole lot of love around here. .. Here here! I'm a big fan of most things Punch. Thought I was the only one.
tmac77 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 hands down the H. Upmann Mag 46 of as I like to call it Hummer 46 Not only my fav Coronoa Gorda but my fav. in all vitolas
shrink Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 My favorite is the Punch Royal Selection No. 11. I love the depth and complexity that come with age. The '99s and '03s are smoking well now, and the '07s show great promise. Absent the Punch RS11, I'll grab an aged Upmann Mag 46. The older the better; these never disappoint. Honorable Mention goes to the Bolivar Corona Extra. A great cigar. (edited to correct Punch name)

gk404 Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Mag 46 for me although admittedly, I haven't smoked any of the others. My experience in this vitola is limited but the SLR A and the Bolis are on my list to get.
shrink Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Do you mean Punch Royal Selection 11? The SS is only 1 or 2. Steve, I mean the Royal Selection 11. My alzheimer's is getting worse. But fortunately the cigars are getting better!
