habanablue Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Smoked one of these New Year's Day. What a waste of time. Best I can say about it is that it had a great draw. Would have prefferred the Santa Damiana's I flicked to my brother in laws who joined me for a smoke. Not sure if any amount of time in the Humi can improve these.

Sutton Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Yeah I had one of these guys & found it very plain until the last 3rd and then the Partagas flavours finally came out but it did not last wrong. I think it probably is worth laying down for atleast a couple months and then trying again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulled out another while on vacation last week and thought it was a terrible waste of time. I would take the D4 over these all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb55317 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I've had two of these in total, the first i thought was excellent and the second just ok. They're very young still so maybe given more time they'll improve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassman Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I've been off ELs for a couple years. Last one I got was the Cuaba Piramide. Terrible smoke when fresh, but now really turning into a good cigars. I liked some of the early ELs- Party Piramides & MC DC especially good. But lately, IMHO, ELs are overpriced mediocre cigars.

I've enjoyed a couple of 'em recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting...after my recent rant I went back to a review I did on my blog back in June and found a similar experience, it only 'came alive' in the last third. This one I had on New Year's Day offered nothing throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riderpride Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 The two I've had have been pretty boring; vegetal with a highly muted Partagas taste on the final third. Burns have been pretty poor too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
