mkz Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 I got serious problems with my cigar taste! Let me list my favourite smokes at the moment. Can anyone see the pattern? Diplomaticos #4 - Cancelled! Diplomaticos #5 - Cancelled! Hoyo De Monterrey Des Dieux Punch Royal Seleccion 11 - Cancelled! Punch Royal Seleccion 12 - Cancelled! Punch Petit Coronas Punch Petit Punch - Cancelled! Vegas Robaina Famosos Quai D´Orsay Coronas - I got a feeling these are hanging on by a thread... Perhaps I should start loving the MC Open and hopefully it will get cancelled soon enough?? Sorry just a minor rant... Carry on!
mm12 Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Quai D´Orsay Coronas - I got a feeling these are hanging on by a thread.. I don't know. I got a box of these last year and it was an 09. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw that. I was expecting maybe 03 on the early side to 07 at the absolute latest. People must be buying these at a decent clip.
CBL Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Diplomaticos and the Royal Seleccions can hardly be called underdogs, they're just great cigars that don't have commercial appeal Even if everyone on this forum had one box in their humidor, the casual smoker would never try them while in a shop looking for a gift or something to smoke on a special occasion. It's a sad sad fact that they're not being marketed the right way and never will be. On the bright side, in 20 years they'll come back as EL's, RE's or maybe by that time Habanos will have a new line in their grand scheme of things called: "Lost Releases" A limited release of cigars that were lost during the great '06-'10 massacre. Original band, original blend but triple the price! Sorry, your rant hit a sensitive string

I was expecting maybe 03 on the early side to 07 at the absolute latest. People must be buying these at a decent clip. Its puzzling! I got an 09 box last year to, but when I started to look for them this year they seemed to be out everywhere. For me that is a bad sign.

Sorry, your rant hit a sensitive string Underdog for me is those under the radar that not many would pick amongst more familliar cigars just as you stated. Definitely lack of commercial appeal. This is truly a sesitive string for me to! Im cursing the fact that so many cigars I like will be gone forever (except for the Lost releases off course ) and I cant fill up my stock.
CanuckSARTech Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 No more favourites for you, mkz. Dude, you've got some bad luck mojo surrounding you! Stay away from my likes!
Habanakane21 Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 You better start stocking up on Des Dieux, Punch Petit Coronas & Vegas Robaina Famosos...before it's too late buddy!

Saaaay... whats your favourites? You better start stocking up on Des Dieux, Punch Petit Coronas & Vegas Robaina Famosos...before it's too late buddy! Trying to stock up on the Dieuxs actually. Keep getting boxes from 08 so I guess they are a slow mover...

Keep getting boxes from 08 so I guess they are a slow mover... How do you like those? I've never tried. Smoked HMD DC, Churchills, Epi 2's & Epi 1. are they like those?
