dangolf18 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Trying to decide between two boxes, CLE JUL01 and CLE OCT02. I know CLE is El Laguito, but I'm not sure which year is preferable. Any input would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion21 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 The dreaded 99-01 comes to mind. But others may have smoked 2001 and can give you more direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophidion Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 For peace of mind I would go with the 02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I picked up some 01's a few months ago and they are constructed far better than the recent ones I've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion21 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Was the quality of the Cohiba line protected during the "dead period"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarks Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I have a box of CLE SEP01 Cohiba lanceros. They are excellent and I would not hesitate to purchase more boxes if I found some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X2. A friend has a box and have smoked a few with him. Excellent cigars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk05 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Definitely the 01's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassman Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I'd go for the varnished 01s. If same packaging I'd take 02, but I've had some good 01s- both in flavor & construction. SigloVs, Party 898s, RyJ Cazadores, Upmann #2s & the best 01 of all- SLR DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finecigar Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 go for the 01's, I am sure you will be delighted! I had a couple boxes of 02's that had major issues with flavor, construction, and consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilgrims Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 never had any Lanceros would love to though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigFish Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I will refrain from making a recommendation however I will attest to the excellence of the '01 Lanceros. I have smoked many boxes of these and may just smoke one today since you brought it up! Is there a price difference? In many ways we roll the dice each time we make a purchase. If there is a marked difference, I would likely choose the lesser expensive cigar. Best of luck. -Piggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangolf18 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 No price difference. Around 300£. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypots Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I have a box of CLE Nov 01 Lanceros that are very good. Construction is top notch. Not many cigars better than an aged Lancero. May be a Monte Especial #1, but that's another question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'll add: petacas=no aroma, specially with 11 years of age… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
