hebbe72 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I am considering a box of Hoyo, but can not decide between du Gourmet and du Maire. Which would be the best buy in your opinion? All input besides buy one of each is appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potpest Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Havent tried the du maires but i smoke the du gourmets regularly and love them, they smoke great fresh but are also amazing after 5 years plus. I just hope the discontinuation rumours arent true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 2013 Du Maire. told this by another BOTL who said they're amazing, went down and picked up a duo and they were!! surprised at how good they are. Surpassed the du gourms even! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hebbe72 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Any idea how they age? Gat a chance to pick up a box from June-99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maplepie Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Any idea how they age? Gat a chance to pick up a box from June-99. i'd do it if the prices are the same. keep in mind that 98-02 sticks are a toss up because of the cigar boom. i've never had issues when buying because i've always asked around. honestly, i'd just go for the '13 sticks. was offered 98, 04, 06, and 13 and i'd personally pick up the '13 over all of them!

potpest Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 If sticks from 99 are still available, there's usually a reason no one has bought them yet, a lot of construction issues around 99/00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I know the consensus is Du Maire: 1, Du Gourmet: 3423423 but i just want you all to give the '13 Du Maire a chance! Those were some good sticks that are basically shorter LGC 3s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallclub Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Any idea how they age? Gat a chance to pick up a box from June-99. Now that is the worst option. The Hoyo du XX series from '99 are terrible in most cases. If by chance they draw, you realize that the tobacco/blend is trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blakes Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I just hope the discontinuation rumours arent true I hope not. Got my first box of Du Gourmets this year, an 07 box code. I absolutely love them, very moreish, certainly going become a staple for me. I actually hadn't heard the rumours of it getting cut, any more info?

Guest Robo Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 du Depute, great size. du Marie is too small. du Prince is awesome too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

potpest Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Mines not working great either....Discontinuation rumours were here http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=115370 I don't think anything was officially confirmed however some of them seem to make sense; when was the last time you saw a RYJ Exhibicion 3? Hope not though; losing Du gourmets/SLR Serie A / SLR DC / JLPC and Des Dieux is like deleting half of my top 10 cigars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLB03TT Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Have a couple of '03 Cabs of Des Dieux. Delightful, very complex light-medium bodied smokes. When I want something lighter bodied these always hit the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hebbe72 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Thanks for all input guys. As always an array of opinions. But I lean towards a box of fresh du Depute based on your answers. Once again, this is the wonder of this community, that people I have never met take their time to give advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hohenthal Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 du Depute, great size. du Marie is too small. du Prince is awesome too. I second the du Depute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sengjc Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Du Maires are nice but prone to tight draws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
