ramon_cojones Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I thought this would be a good idea for a thread since oftentimes these questions get lost within other threads. So regarding 99-01 boli lonsdales and 99-01 VRs in general, how are they smoking? Kind thanks gents.
jazzbass Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I've had 2 '99 VR Classicos in the last few months and they were superb. A wonderful woody dark chocolate with smooth coffee notes. Pretty much a perfect cigar. Well worth the wait.
mk05 Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 You should pass on that boat of 99 Lonnies from what I was advised. My ingenious plan is to hoard a bunch now, invent cryogenic sleep, and wake up in 100 years with my glassine wrapped boxes. Pretty much foolproof. Lol, 08 qdo corona are just coming around. Changing from BBQ meaty/charry/smoky to vegetal like 03s. Anyone else experience this?
investandprosper Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I've had great '99 Boli Lonsdales, and duds as well. Depends on the box.
mk05 Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Yea that's what I was told. Risk/reward was not tempting to me. So scratch my opinion. Everyone's risk appetite is different.
Ophidion Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 01 unicos that I've had have been incredible. All chocolate
Daidemo Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 VR Famosos from 2001 (CVA NOV 01) are still one of the best cigars in my humidor.

For me young QDO are rich grass with a hint of sweetness if you smoke them slowly. aged they are a rich vanilla custard. Never had meaty flavours ever!
Lotusguy Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I have a fantastic box of 1999 Boli Lonsdales. Not a dud yet (5 smoked). 2nd box with the same date code on the way. Unfortunately, they are now sold out at that vendor so that will be my last box. Can't comment on VR since I don't like the Marca and essentially never smoke them.
