stinkhead Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 I am really becoming a fan of this size, they have great flavors and are priced reasonably. I dove in and got boxes of the bolivar petit coronas, Monte no. 4s, Diplomatico no. 4s, and the partagas mille fleurs. So what should I try next, and which ones should I avoid?
Hohenthal Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 I am really becoming a fan of this size, they have great flavors and are priced reasonably. I dove in and got boxes of the bolivar petit coronas, Monte no. 4s, Diplomatico no. 4s, and the partagas mille fleurs. So what should I try next, and which ones should I avoid? As many of the petit coronas (including Dip. #4) have been discontinued already, hurry up - you can still find some boxes of Punch Petit Corona del Punch, Punch Royal Selection #12, Saint Luis Rey PC, etc. Amongst the ones still in production you have chosen well - you could add Por Larranaga PC, Juan Lopez PC... Some of my personal favourites are minutos, just a touch shorter than PC's but full of flavour: SCdlH Principe, RASCC, BCJ, Partagas Shorts.... Enjoy!
sblevit Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 SCDLH Principes and Trini Reyes are among the best of that vitola (technically minutos). Trini Coloniales (which are somewhere between a corona and a PC) are also an excellent choice.
Pilgrims Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Reyes and Party shorts are my two most regular smokes of this size, I never bore of the Party short, I just need to buy some to keep
riazp Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Reyes, Partagas shorts, RASCC all very good minutos.
Strada Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Reyes, Partagas shorts, RASCC all very good minutos. x2
backslide Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 I enjoy the Siglo I since you mentioned Cohiba
bassman Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Reyes and Party shorts are my two most regular smokes of this size, I never bore of the Party short, I just need to buy some to keep Party Shorts are not PCs. For me, I keep buying Bolivar PCs & MC#4s.
CaptainQuintero Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Punch petit coronas are fantastic little smokes, so interesting and unusual. Also Quintero brevas are a great little rock'em sock'em stick for when you want something rustic and honest with no illusions of grandeur.
James4226c Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 I might be in the minority here but my ERDM PC (OTS FEB 10) is tied with my Boli PC (TEB JUN 08) for first.
TheMcG Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 San Cristóbal de la habana El Príncipe love how creamy and smooth it is.
Lotusguy Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 ERDM PC Siglo II PLPC Then you're pretty much set for that vitola.
Generalgman Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 I have to second the Punch Royal Selection #12... Not a PC I reach for often enough. How can they seriously be on here way out!?
Bahnofstrasse Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I might be in the minority here but my ERDM PC (OTS FEB 10) is tied with my Boli PC (TEB JUN 08) for first. Agreed as these are my 2 favorite PC's right now
stinkhead Posted January 19, 2012 Author Posted January 19, 2012 I have to second the Punch Royal Selection #12... Not a PC I reach for often enough. How can they seriously be on here way out!? These have always interested me, unfourtunately I am having a hard time sourcing these at a reasonable price
dan5974 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I like the H.Upmann.Bolivar is a strong second.
thechenman Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 These have always interested me, unfourtunately I am having a hard time sourcing these at a reasonable price The RS12 is good enough and difficult enough to find that they are worth paying a premium for.
stinkhead Posted January 20, 2012 Author Posted January 20, 2012 The RS12 is good enough and difficult enough to find that they are worth paying a premium for. Hmmm that is interesting, maybe I will have to try and look harder because the only place I see them they would cost me more than a box of esplendidos here at czars!!!
qman22 Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 I like the Upmann PC, also Party Shorts and Cohiba Siglo I's. For some reason I've had better luck with the Siglo I's than the Siglo II's
Van55 Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 The only Marevas that I would personally not buy are Montecristo #4. This is simply because, as the top selling Cuban cigar, they are made and distributed whether the tobacco for the best blend is available or not. Hence, they are inconsistent -- moreso than the less popular ones. If I had only one Marevas to buy, it would be the Por Larranaga, so long as I could age it adequately. Trini Reyes are not Marevas, but they are consistently excellent even when very young.
mazolaman Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Love the Punch RS12, good cigar at a good price, no probs getting em either, sad if they do get the chop! Por Laranaga PC are good value, great cigar. Bolivar pc also great, but mono flavoured for me. I found the Juan Lopez Pc to be a bit dull. I love Partagas Millefleur, and shorts. Will look out for the ERDM PC....

mazolaman Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 FYI...The Punch RS12 and RS11 have both been discontinued. Oh...Bugger. Havent seen the RS11 for a while, but still grabbing the 12s.
jimschn Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 The Cohiba Maduro 5 Secretos are an amazing cigar as well
