asmith Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 We are progressively finding out which Cuban Cigar has the highest rate of member satisfaction (and the lowest). I will run through the 30 most popular cigars during April/May/June and will provide an ongoing chart to see how the cigars stack up. It should go without saying to only vote if you have actually tried one Feel free to post your experiences and thoughts on the thread Today's cigar: Ramon Allones Gigantes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassman Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 A split personality cigar. Boxes from 02 & 05 have been stellar. In fact, probably the best cigar I've had from 05. Boxes from 06 & 08 good but not great. Wonder how more recent production is faring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypots Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 One of my all time favorites. I've smoked two boxes of '03s and I still marvel at the smooth, powerful complexity of this DC. Age does them wonders. These are better than most of the EL, RE and "special" cigars I've smoked. I haven't had other vintages because the '03s I bought were so good I stocked up.

ksblazer Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I've always enjoyed the RA Gigantes. Not a cigar that gets mentioed alot. Actually it seems like DC's in general are that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mm12 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 One of my favorite DCs and I've never had a bad one, so generally good for these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laranced Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Smithy, This is fantastic list and reference for us non-doyens out here. It also has that enticing factor to it where you just want to try out other cigars. My only question is though, is it possible to see how many votes you got for each cigar in the chart. This would help provide a clearer picture on satisfaction and popularity. Cheers Slothy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CohibaBehike Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Just finished my box of '09 and they were all gorgeous cigars. Smoked well, consistent, and had amazing flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobKincaid Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 One cigar from a given marque/vitola is hardly an indicator, but I liked the one I smoked very much and want a box. I actually have the time for a cigar of such immensity, given my work allows me three delightful hours in which to smoke a cigar each night. I've been wondering which of the Big Four (RAGs, Lusis, SLR DC and HdM DC) would be the best box expenditure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wondering which of the Big Four (RAGs, Lusis, SLR DC and HdM DC) would be the best box expenditure. May I ask what job it is that allows you 3 hours of DC smoking time? May I also ask whether they are hiring? As for the expenditure, I am a big Lusitania and RAG fan, personally. I've tried all regular production DCs and these are my favorites.
