KMK03 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Title pretty much says it all. Im getting married this Sunday and would like to purchase a box soon to start aging where I could pull 1 a year from on our anniversary. After much consideration of wow factor and consistency it seems that two great choices would be the Sir Winnie or the Trini Fundadores. I generally go after the grassy, honey, sweeter but still full flavored smokes. Any opinions on the matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbeaver Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Congratulations!!! Now is your chance to get the TF's, but try to get ones that are a couple of years old - unless this year's date on the bottom is a criteria for your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cottierm Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I don't know about the Fundadores but the Sir Winston are not grassy, more leathery and strong-tea like. Their construction is exceptional and they can age for as long as you can wait to enjoy them! Best, Michel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk05 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 You sound like you were actually looking for Cohiba Esplendidos or SLR Double Coronas. Personally not a fan of big sticks because they are boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMK03 Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Esplendidos indeed are great...but dropping that kind of coin on such inconsistency, no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksblazer Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Of the two I'd opt for the Sir Winnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckSARTech Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'd go for the Fundadores. Closest to the flavour profile you're seeking. Also, the cigar name meshes well with the idea behind your anniversary (ala - your marriage having a strong foundation.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacktarnold Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Both are great cigars. If I had the time I would get 1-2 of each smoke them and decide which currently would seem to have the legs to age if you are talking 1 a year over a few years.

Lotusguy Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 My vote is for Sir Winston - they have LEGS to age... The couple of 2002s that I had were to die for and they had plenty of potential left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markmurase Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I have a box of 09 Sir Winnies and they are great. From many reports on this forum, they are a consistently great cigar. You may have trouble getting an equally great box of Trini Fundadores. From what I hear, lots of inconsistency after they stopped being rolled at El Laguito factory. The Partagas Lusis have also been suggested. Another excellent option. Whilst the Sir Winnies and Lusis are great their flavour profiles couldn't be described as grassy, honey, sweet. You're talking Cohiba Esplendidos or Siglo range for that. Best wishes and congratulations for your forthcoming wedding. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMK03 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Now also considering the Cohiba Lanceros. Im leaning towards the fundies for some reason.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgarner Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Although Sir Winnies are my favorite smoke I would not recommend them because they don't fit the flavor profile you are seeking. Never had a TF so can't comment on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markmurase Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Now also considering the Cohiba Lanceros. Im leaning towards the fundies for some reason.... I haven't tried the Lanceros but should have mentioned them along with the Esplendidos and Siglos. From the reviews on this forum, I believe Lanceros also have the familiar Cohiba grassy, honey, sweet taste. I think you need to be more carefull about construction with the long skinnies.
