Onsto Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Always keep a stock of: Upmann #2 Upmann Sir Winston Boli CG Boli PC Won't replace: RASS To be honest, I'd probably break my commitment on the RASS if enough people who I trusted told me they were worth smoking again. Similarly, a few bad years of any of my favourites would probably change my perspective there too. Long lists in either category would worry me as being too fixed in one view, these are natural products and artisinal creations that will vary somewhat individually and over time. Part of the journey is experimentation and evolving your preferences. To be absolute - "I'll never smoke another one of those..." or "all of these are fantastic" is closed minded and not in line with how and why I enjoy smoking cigars.
Colt45 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 ....... these are natural products and artisinal creations that will vary somewhat individually and over time. I agree in spirit... Briefly, I wouldn't continue to acquire things that I've tried a number of times and have consistently disappointed me, when I can acquire things I know I can count on and will enjoy.

Onsto Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I agree in spirit... Briefly, I wouldn't continue to acquire things that I've tried a number of times and have consistently disappointed me, when I can acquire things I know I can count on and will enjoy. No doubt. But if I was to discover (either personally or by trusted reccomendation) that something I had previously not enjoyed was much improved or somehow different, then I'd be willing to alter my perspective. That's all I was trying to convey.
ramon_cojones Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I don't think anyone here would disagree with you since no one is speaking in absolutes just probablys.
Lant63 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Will buy again: Punch Punch (I will try a dress box, I really like the tubed version) Behike (I will get 54s instead of 52s though just because I think they are a better deal) everything PL including RE if still avaiable Dante 54 if I can find a reasonable price Siglo 4 BBF RASS BJC MONTE 2 Reyes Shorts SC EP Will not: PSD4 BRC monte PE Anything ERDM
Armaniac Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Yes: PSD4 JL2 BRC HOYO EPI2 RASS SLRA Mag. 46 No: Monte Edmundo B Belicoso HU ConA LGC Immensos
MadMax Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 BUY AGAIN: Boli RC Boli BF Boli PC Punch Punch Monte 2 JL2 RASS PSD4 CoRo Trini Reyes Upmann Mag 46 Anything Por Laranaga Wouldnt: Any other Cohiba R&J PSP2 Non Cubans! davidsan I hear you with the Non Cubans! Big waste of $! I would say about 90% of NC have that same crap taste to them, I don't know if it's all the Magnesium they put in the soil or the pesticides they use. There's only a few I'll spend money on now.
PapaDisco Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Definitely the Punch Punch. I'm also biased to the tubos, but have been enjoying a box pressed lot of 25 from Rob just as well. Also: PSD4 (seem to burn particularly well in jungle heat and humidity, betcha didn't know that!) RA Superiores HdM Epi2 Partagas Series E #2 Monte 4 Monte 2 Partagas Lusitanias Siglo VI HdM Epi 1 Not very adventurous I know, but it's what I'm used to.
Omskakas Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Won't buy: Non cubans Bolivars EL's RE's (RA 898's I will consider, though) Anything bigger than 50 rg ERDM's Diplos (only 2's left to buy)
jrb5783 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Yes: Epi1 Epi2 Petite Robusto Palmas extra PLPC PLP PLMC PL encantos RASS RASCC RASup HUHC HUPC boli PC BBF Trini Reyes Siglo 6 Cohiba lancero Boli china RE singles (one of the best cigars I've ever had) Not agian: I'll buy one box of most ELs and REs but not more than because of price.
Skyfall Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I'm back indeed! Smoked a couple Monte GRs from different boxes. Not impressive at all. Last one was new year's eve with a couple great BOTL, smoked side by side with a 2008 (or 2009?) Monte 2. M2GR was good, but the regular Monte 2 blew it out of the water. Absolutely no comparison to me. The others who smoked them simultaneously felt similarly, although perhaps not as strongly. Well, Well, Well.....look what the cat dragged in.
fookite Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Havent had heaps of cubans, only had singles, yet to buy a box, but from the ones i had, i wouldnt invest further in; HdM Epi 2 and Epi Esp, neither of them really had much going for them, both had about 5 years on them. didnt give much flavour and was just a boring stick I'd try some fresh ones before you make up your mind for good.
stogieluver Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Well, Well, Well.....look what the cat dragged in. He's just trying to get his post count up.
shlomo Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Well, Well, Well.....look what the cat dragged in. He's just trying to get his post count up. That better be one big-ass cat then! And hell yes I want my post count back up! I was up to 3rd or 4th on the all-time list damit!
stogieluver Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 That better be one big-ass cat then! And hell yes I want my post count back up! I was up to 3rd or 4th on the all-time list damit! Pipe down, Rookie. One day, if you're lucky and play your cards right, you'll have as many posts as I.
galtline Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 My humidor will never be without: Bolivar PC and RC/ Partagas 898/ HdM des Dieux/ Cohiba Siglo IV OkI need to try Bolivar PC. Way too many people mentioning these cigars. Rob when is the next big sale ?
galtline Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 I'd try some fresh ones before you make up your mind for good. Epicure 2 might be the best cigar I have ever smoked. Just unreal ! When I first got them I thought they were average. But than something happend and the cigar has become my go to. I like it better than the D4
shlomo Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Pipe down, Rookie. One day, if you're lucky and play your cards right, you'll have as many posts as I. Rob! Ban this guy and reset him please! He is showing me his bum!
stogieluver Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Rob! Ban this guy and reset him please! He is showing me his bum! Glad you're back, Shlo.
Colt45 Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 No doubt. But if I was to discover (either personally or by trusted reccomendation) that something I had previously not enjoyed was much improved or somehow different, then I'd be willing to alter my perspective. That's all I was trying to convey. Of course. I'd also be willing to re-try something though I still doubt I'd spring for a box to do so. For me, much of this is more an issue of consistency (or lack thereof), but that is another topic.....
thebigk Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Still have hot had enough experience in CC's to will or won't but I can tell you that I will not buy 99% of the NC's out there
Laxman Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Epicure 2 might be the best cigar I have ever smoked. Just unreal ! When I first got them I thought they were average. But than something happend and the cigar has become my go to. I like it better than the D4 Have to agree it is up there on my list. Current production has been amazing and have smoke a ton of boxes over the last 5 years and loved every cigar I smoked out of them.
Andrew11 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Would definitely buy BOlivar RC and trinidad fundys again.
