El Presidente Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 be they Robusto/Mareva/Churchill or Piramide.......which 2 cigars do you find to be closest in blend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brazoseagle Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Partagas P2 and D4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrink Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 This may surprise some, but I have always found Partagas and La Gloria Cubana to have similar core blends. This is perhaps most evident in young cigars, especially when comparing the Partagas 898V to the La Gloria Md'Or No. 2. It's as if the LGC blender started with the Partagas blend, then added some sweet, fruity and floral leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuffDaddie Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Dido's for Part no.2 and no.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aavkk Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I agree Bob, with age they tend to really become their own but young its a tough call blind. Good thing I love em both! Personally, I feel that way too many of the EL's are generic and similar in profile- again particularly when they are young. Its that damn wrapper.

ramon_cojones Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Interesting topic, I have made comments on this in the past when I've been with my mates smoking the odd cigar I normally don't but I can't think of two at the moment. I will say that I don't find the p2 and d4 alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartolomeo Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have had instances of LGC Tainos and Quai Imperiales tasting similar lately...... Bart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Exclusing the royal corona and belicoso fino, I feel Bolivars share many similar traits. Montecristo No.s 4 and 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Monte 3, 4, and 5 for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrody Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Same lineage, bolivar. Different marcas, JL1 and Mag46 seem to have similarities (to me at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred170 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Vegas Robaina Unicos and Cuaba Divinos. I hear that the tobacco used to produce these gems are from the same region, Pinar del Rio, and have similar attributes whilst herfing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred170 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Jose L. Piedra and Quintero. Selectos and Quinteros...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushman Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 If you meant within the same marca, which I don't think you did, monte 4 and 5. Across different marcas, never really thought about it but will do some research. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=20.631711,-87.070632 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amosnaim Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 For me I usually find the Edmundo as a bit of a lighter version of the Monte2. Unlike other members above, I find the Par P2 and D4 to be completely different. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dB69 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Referring to last years blind taste: Diplo#2 and Party P2. And another pair quite close to each other: RA Superiores and H.Upmann M46. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar Connoisseur Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'd have to agree with most out here, P2 and D4... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mazolaman Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 In different brands - Boli Gold medals and R Y J Cazadores.....rampant full flavours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winelover Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Within same MarcRy: RyJ no.2 and RyJ no.3. Similarly Upmann Corona Minors and Upmann Corona Majors. Monte Petit Tubos and MC4 (well they are the same but given different names).Also I find the P2 a lighter and ever so slightly more aromatic version of the D4 but obviously similar DNA. Across marcas - I honestly find each marca quite distinct from the next and can usually tell them apart (and the major brands in a blind tasting).
