MC4 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 There have been many different reviews and comments about these popular releases, just curios to know where do these stand, assuming the price is not an issue.
Zigatoh Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 The 1966 is truly incredible, I'm not a huge Cohiba fan, and I take ELs as they come,but it really is something else, and priced accordingly!
CaptainQuintero Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Price not an issue I'd choose between CoRo Especial #2 Siglo 6 I may be in the minority there though!
mbrody Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 CPE The one's I have had have been the epitome of Cohiba.
tmac77 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Money not an issue I also would not choose any of the ones indicated. However if those were the only three available I would go with the monte 520.
Hubba Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Every 1966 i've had have been incredible....having said that, i'm loving the 520. Headed to Cuba in July and will be getting more. I've only smoked 2 CPE, neither were all that great.
hdryder Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Having only smoked a couple of each and enjoying all of them but I loved the 520 & have been stocking up on them
orangedog Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Monte 520, although I'll reserve to change that in 5 years The 1966 seems to wow a lot of people. I thought it was ok... hopeful that they come into something great. I'm afraid I may kick myself for not stocking up more, but I have a fair number of the 520 so no worries there.
MC4 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Posted June 14, 2013 I personally have loved a couple of the 1966s I've tried. I have a box of 520, but the two I've tried, did not like at all. Have not tried the CPE, but am surprised about 520 going so strong.
westg Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 1966 for now and I really like the 520's. Have one box of piramide extra which I have not opened yet , I actually just checked the manufacturing date and is May 12, didn't realize 12 months was on them already, so I might crack one this weekend. I purchased them when first released and paid a premium for them so hoping for something . That being said they don't look anywhere as good as the 66 or 520.
poorman Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Just tried my first CPE the other day, found it to be rather average. The 520's are good, nothing spectacular though, think I over purchased on those. 1966, what a stick, absolutely love those. Did stock up and may buy more. First time I ever tasted that citrus you hear about.
Ophidion Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 None of them were that impressive of the few in sampled. Especially the 1966
finecigar Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 I chose 520 but not listed here I would choose Sir winston, PL magnificos or ra phoenicio, price not involved
nikesupremedunk Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 If money is not an issue then I'd pick up all 3. I enjoyed the 520 the most, then CPE, then the 1966. 1966 was not bad, but not a breathtaking cigar as the price tag suggests. CPE was amazing until the last third where it sort of died out in terms of flavor, but it's still quite expensive. 520 was my favorite, plus a bit cheaper than the CPE. Seriously though, I would try to get at least the 1966 and 520. Save the 1966 for later and smoke the 520 now.
jrb5783 Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 I'd go either CPE or 520 only smoked one of each so far. Many other sticks id pick before these like siglo 6 and lanceros
BRAC Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 I've only had 1 of each so far, so my vote could certainly change with time. The CPE was by far the best for me out of those single samples, followed by the 1966, and then the 520 a distant third.
OZCUBAN Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 If money is not an issue then I'd pick up all 3. But seeing the price point is an issue ,hence i have had none but a stab in the dark i would say the 520
Hafner32 Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 I have some 520s and CPEs sitting so would probably go for the 1966. Hard to justify the current price of these sticks.
Lotusguy Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 claus you comin down for socal? nobody told me anything, bro heading out for China on Tuesday, though, so should probably spend some quality time at home anyway
MC4 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Posted June 15, 2013 claus you comin down for socal? Is there a HERF?
nikesupremedunk Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 I have some 520s and CPEs sitting so would probably go for the 1966. Hard to justify the current price of these sticks. It's only going to get worse..that's why I bit the bullet even though I overpaid.
