CdnLimitada Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 I like most of these (a couple I haven't tried). If I am "forced" to pick one, it would be Reyes. Need to order a ton of these in case they go away forever.
Perla Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Trini Reyes. These are the only cigars I do not like to share. Normally nothing is holy. A pity that the SLR PC are gone the way of the Dodo. Heard/read good things about them. 1
Pilgrims Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Party shorts!! but also love several of the others
Rye Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Top 3 for me; 1- RASCC 2- SCdlH El Principe 3- Reyes or BPC, depends on the stock. I smoke lots of Secretos, so I have to give those an honorable mention too
Bolismoker Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Can't believe PLPC are people's absolute favorite pc. Maybe I just haven't any good ones yet. I actually couldn't vote for just one, so I voted for five or so. The PL absolutely being one of them. I like the, fresh when they have a source note around the edges and I like 'em older when they are little Caramel bombs. Keep trying, IMHO well worth the effort to track down some good ones. Also in no particular order the PC or shorter CC that curently I can't live without: 1. BPC 2. PLPC 3. Party Short 4. SC EL Principe 5. RASCC 6. CO SIG II What this thread really reminds me is that One of the thins Havana does best is the smaller first cigars
JayJay Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Helpful thread for a newb. Gonna try a few on the list now.
joeypots Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 I distinguish between the PC or mareva Vitola: Mareva Length: 129 mm. ( 5 1/8" ) Width: 16,67 mm Ring: 42 and the minuto. Vitola: Minuto Length: 110 mm. ( 4 3/8" ) Width: 16,67 mm Ring: 42 As you can see, the mareva is 3/4" longer than the minuto. Thats a lot to me, not the same vitola at all. Especially as the cigars are so small. I don't know why, but I like to distinguish between cigar vitolas accuractly. I do not believe, lol, that cervantes and dalias are both lonsdales. Coronas junior and Petit Coronas are not vitolas, or cigar sizes, but are the names of cigars with in a brand, like Bolivar Coronas Jr or PL Petit Corona, But that's just me and I wouldn't write anything about it if some one had not posted that a lottle education is OK. Check out : http://www.cigars-re...Mareva-Size.htm And: http://www.cigars-re...Minuto-Size.htm
Smallclub Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Coronas junior and Petit Coronas are not vitolas, or cigar sizes, but are the names of cigars with in a brand, not 100% exact I'm afraid: actually, there is a "petit corona" vitola: it's that of the former machine made cigars that are the same size than marevas: the Partagas Mille Fleur, the R&J Mille Fleur and a few others… btw, the resource you quote (cigars reviews) is FULL of mistakes: for instance, in the mareva page, they list the Upmann Corona Major which is NOT a mareva but an eminente… and the Hoyo Coronation, which is not a mareva but a petit corona (as it was formerly a MM cigar)… and the PL Lola en Cedros, which was a MM petit corona with a pointed head, not a mareva, etc. etc. Gee I'm such a cigar geek!
maverickdrinker Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 of the choices above BPC, Sig I and II, Monte 4 and RASCC are always in the rotation...
CaptainQuintero Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Frank you are a legend! thanks for the tech stats!
Wil Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Developing a bit of a thing for RGPCs. Not sure of ageing potential, but might invest in a few more boxes just in case HSA does something silly.
Dimmers Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Don't think I have tried enough PC types/volume to warrant a vote. However a shout out for one not on the list which I am liking v much atm- HDM du Prince
jrb5783 Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 I voted for the boli PC, trini Reyes, plpc, and RASCC
bigpete Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 PLPC but followed really close by Party Shorts (both with a few years on them)
joeypots Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 not 100% exact I'm afraid: actually, there is a "petit corona" vitola: it's that of the former machine made cigars that are the same size than marevas: the Partagas Mille Fleur, the R&J Mille Fleur and a few others… btw, the resource you quote (cigars reviews) is FULL of mistakes: for instance, in the mareva page, they list the Upmann Corona Major which is NOT a mareva but an eminente… and the Hoyo Coronation, which is not a mareva but a petit corona (as it was formerly a MM cigar)… and the PL Lola en Cedros, which was a MM petit corona with a pointed head, not a mareva, etc. etc. Gee I'm such a cigar geek! Thanks, always looking for more info. BTW, I love RASCC, Party Shorts, PLPCs, and all Bolivars and Cohibas and lots more.
MC4 Posted September 1, 2013 Author Posted September 1, 2013 Thank you all for participating and voting. I got what I wanted out of this poll. I think at this point, I remove the selection for those which got one vote or less.
sactochris Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 I don't think the Corona Major, from H Upmann get's nearly enough love.
Blakes Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 PC - my favorite vitola and is fitting for almost every occasion. x2
Sir Diggamus Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 RASCC all day. Outstanding with a few years of age.
Habana Mike Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 A member once told me he would rather smoke 2 pc's than 1 Churchill etc. A very nice way to look at these. That's usually how I roll too
Wil Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 i guess i was the only one who voted for the rg pc... Nope. I did too. Any idea of ageing potential?
