dangolf18 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 What's a good year for these? Anybody have experience with '08 boxes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmancbr Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 No experience with the 08s. But I have a cab of 07s that are rockin. The lovely green tea and herbal flavors with a touch of sweet honey or caramel is all there. IMO all erdm need a few years to settle into a groove. I have some 11 PCs that are so flat I won't touch them again till next spring or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCgarman Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I have a 2010 box of these that are good, but the cigar is just meh for me. It is by far the lightest Cuban I have ever smoked to the point that I puff heavily on the cigar trying to get some flavor out of it. Just too light and not enough flavor for my tastes, my first and last box of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charltonc Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I had great luck with a box of 06s. 08 is a good year and they almost have five years so it sounds good to me. I was debating on an 08 box myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartolomeo Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 07 have been better than 08 and 06 IMHO, not a ton of experience w 09-12 but all have not been that bad from the singles I have had These typically age well and show the ERDM profile after many years as you already know I am sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramon_cojones Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 ive not had a bad choix to be honest and maybe you got a dud box nycg i find them to be flavorful, maybe not as much as rass and d4 but they are a different animal, quite like them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlohaStyle Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I think 08's have been great across the board and the ERDM's should be just fine. I just recently had one of my Aug 2010 and thought they are just starting to open up into a great cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perla Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 My box is from Nov. 07 and it is awesome. Pure chocolate hmmmm yummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk05 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 >5 years. ERDM is regarded as a marca that needs a bit of time to shine. But I've also enjoyed them fresh the past couple years, fwiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilgrims Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 this is very general but I've had a lot of joy with almost all 2008/2010/2012 stocks...I do love even numbers though so may be that is why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 People have been saying recent production has been great for them so 2012 seems a good bet, 2013 probably too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramon_cojones Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 also to add, most of the ones i've smoked have been fresh and while i typically do not enjoy fresh cigars this is probably the only one i would crack right away if i got a box, the ones i've smoked have been my friend's and we've probably gone through a couple boxes in the past two years so this is not one where you have to wait it is delightful with not much sign of youth except back back end of the last third in my experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
