H.Upmann Robustos 2012 EL

[dangolf18]

Haven't heard too much about these? Are they worth buying in your opinion? Appreciate any thoughts on these.

prefer the Royal robustos vs. the ELs imho

[mash]

I'll qualify my opinion by saying I've only had 2 so far, but they've been mediocre.

[scradley]

I smoked one last weekend for my brothers birthday, was sub-par compared to the Royal Robusto's

[Lotusguy]

Smoked 3, didn't like them at all. Stay away from this overpriced mediocrity.

[El Presidente]

i would prefer a Royal Robusto over the LE. At this point, far more complexity in the Royal Robusto..far far more. The LE while solid is still closed and will need 3-5 years to unleash what it has.

Hmm. I just bought a box of these in the Financial Year End Clearance sale a few days ago. I must admit that at the time, I thought it was the Royal Robusto I was buying. Might have been too quick on the draw.

We'll see.

[CdnLimitada]

I too have thought of these as mediocre but will keep the rest for 5-7 years and see. Pricey so I have to hope...

Only had 2 LEs, but have 3 boxes of RRs.

The LEs don't flick my switch at all right now but the RRs are awesome - very different beasts.

Very tempted by the current RR offer on now B-)

Haven't tried enough RR to say, but the EL robusto definetly need some time, love the flavours I can pick up now, but lots of other EL that smokes better now
