sw15825 Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 adding LFDC and ERDM releases to the equation - HSA is on a roll, Which ones? Iyo ?
Cisco Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 A majority of my 2013 have been great ROTT except for a box of HU HCs. Every single one of these has been bitter (what I would describe as "green tannins"). Other boxes have been very good. I also had bad luck with a 5 x 5 of RG Perlas. The cigars have light wrappers and are bland. I've heard that the dress boxes are better than the cardboard boxes....
dowjr1 Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 A box of 2010 Hup Mag 50s...sooooo excited to get them in and they were like smoking cardboard or something. I was just not getting anything at all from them. Waited a couple years on them and then finally gave one or two out and them smoked em up to get rid.
Armaniac Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 Montecristo Edmundo's. I still have around 10 left and have tried everything but they have no power and taste like cardboard. Maybe they're fakes .........
danielmgibbs Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 i agree JC67. the box of R+JSC's I got earlier this year was utterly pants - i'm giving them some time in the humidor in the vain hope that they may evolve over time. I'm not holding my breath.
Faire Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 R&J short Churchil... Crap! +1 I even wrote about it: http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=116824
pbibby Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 R&J short Churchil... Crap! This is why I love this hobby. Everyone of these that I smoked were awesome.
Troels Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 R&J short Churchil... Crap! Bought a box of ten from 2012 in spring 2012. They wasnt any good for the first half year, and I pretty much gave up om them, but revisiting in nov 13 was a very pleasing experience. Hope time will help you out as well.
MadMax Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 I know pretty much everyone disagrees, but 520 and 1966 are both huge let downs for me this year. I agree with the 1966. The one I smoked from this year had zero flavor!!
jkljkl Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 A box of RASS I got earlier in the year. Almost all of them were under fermented. Wouldn't be surprised if the batch I got had Nicaraguan scrap tobacco used as some of the filler. I have to say, the majority of my cigars this year have been very good. But if i were to choose one id have to agree with you. The 3 RASS boxes i received this year have not produced the same level of flavor and aroma as the previous two years. All three boxes ive got have nice construction and wrappers but thats about it. I still consider it a staple. I just want a more out of them in 2014. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

PapaDisco Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 You smoke hot garbage on fire? LOL Well, sure. Can't smoke it if it's not on fire!
