hebbe72 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Been thinking of investing in a box or two. They look abolutely stunning. But how de they smoke? All input appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafner32 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Haven't had one either but I too am interested in people's thoughts. I would also be interested in a comparison between this stick and the current LE as far as which one is smoking better now and which one has more legs for aging?

CaptainQuintero Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Look stunning, taste bland. Just stuffed out to cash in on the Olympics I guess? The Asia pacific super robusto is a much better cigar right now, the sabrosos too if you want a pirimides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hebbe72 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Do you think it has aging potential or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 See I think all cigars have ageing potential they are very mellow and mild, but bland. I don't think they will do much with age to be honest but who knows. For the price I'd look at other proven punch cigars. Or maybe pick up a single or two and try. For the price of EMS BHK 54 you could pick up a lot more of a lot better cigars imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbeaver Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Not sure about the '11 but just got a current box. Could not resist and fired one up. It was fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onsto Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I've got a couple of boxes, think they are absolutely fantastic. I've had one that had a very restricted draw (which I wouldn't have expected at the price point) but otherwise couldn't recommend them more.

Bartolomeo Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I have had 5 in the last 7 months, I didnt care for them, had a metallic taste if my memory serves me correctly and not enjoyable on all 7, the 7 were from 3 different boxes....that being said, I will revisit in a year but not box worthy for me personally right now......and I am a Punch fan Bart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion21 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Very expensive and I haven't read a good review yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finecigar Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Not worth it at all. For regionals there are so many better out there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanceSchmerr Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I enjoyed the one I've had, and I'm looking to get a box this year. I found it young, but definitely approachable. That said, I still think they have years to go before they are in their prime. I do want to try a Punch Super Robusto RE AP to compare, but I think I missed the boat on those.

kittipong Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 How about compare to the first one which released 2008? I have the 2008 sleep for 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigcars Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Big, empty and airy - no flavor at all IMHO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hebbe72 Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Thanks for all the input. As always a pleasure to take part of the collective experience of the FOH community. My conclusion is to at least try a box out to see for myself. At USD 220 for a box it is worth a shot IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lant63 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Has anyone had one of these lately? The platinos are growing on me, and the foil on these is just so pretty. Any flavor description would help! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maplepie Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Lanty: Had a discussion on this a while back. You see these and the Series D'Oro everywhere. Yet you can hardly find the Bolivar Britannicas, JL Maximos, or Por Larranga Magnificos/ RdL. This is for a reason. I will say that along with the Bolivar Gold Medals, the two cigars you mentioned make good Christmas decorations Sent from the Enigma on Tapatalk for BlackBerry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently saw a couple reviews on instagram saying the medalla de oro turned a corner and are smoking real good. I just wanted to see if that was the consensus. Have you had the Maximos? I recently had some young jl2 and they have become hands down my favorite robusto. Sent by telepathic super powers -Stogie Boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Have you had the Maximos? I recently had some young jl2 and they have become hands down my favorite robusto. My apologies. I meant the JL Seleccion Suprema. The one with its own dedicated band. Those were bloody good cigars. Wish I could find a box of those now... The Maximos was one of those I tossed out right after the final third. Soapy with hints of ammonia. Kinda floral and tasted of mould? Not what I was looking for in a cigar...
