anacostiakat Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Delivered: Cohiba Sublime! Non-delivery: Behike 56 comes to mind.
finecigar Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Delivered: 1966, 03 Siglo VI, Monsdales, Dunhill HC (I've had three of those and all were outstanding- worth the holy grail status), ERdM Anniversarios, FdC REs Didn't deliver: Many... Particularly Behike 56, HURR, Punch Diadema (purchased a box originally and the 5 smoked were distasteful and boring), and countless NCs
westg Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 All the hype, the buzz, the fancy packagings, the "organized" rarity, o etc. for such a poor product. I have smoked 3 sizes, including a tin of Reserva d'Chateau that I have aged 5 years... bleh... Fair point, I agree with four out of five , I don't mind the packaging and the bands though, that said I do like most of the opus x range especially the No 2 and the Lancero . I almost put the opus x range for the cigar that delivered most. Went with 66, funnily enough I would have had the Monti Sublime second a little way back though but still second. Each to their own.

TypicalSituation Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 OK, I seriously need to track down a few of these 1966. Seems like they are the cats meow when delivering the goods. 1

PigFish Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 There are plenty of cigars that I like and plenty more that I don't. I freely admit that I often generalize about cigars. On one hand, the generalization has saved me a lot of money, keeping me from buying cigars that I "often" don't like. On the other hand there is no judging a cigar by its size, brand, or wrapper. I think I understand the concept of playing the odds, so I play them… There are no guarantees, and the cigar that you should hate, may just become a favorite…! When generalizing, the most produced cigars, the cigars forced into production, and the cigar where most of the money is spent on the package and not the cigar, are generally the most dissapointing! RE's, EL's, new fat cigars, over-produced robustos and piramides; those are the cigars that typically disappoint me. The popular Montes and Cohibas are a general let down… Smaller cigars that are not over produced, thinner ring and other lesser popular cigars are to my liking. They are to my liking because they taste better… One cigar that I never 'got' was the Punch Monarcas. Another is the SLR DC. I am happy with my Diplomaticos and my ERdM's, RG's and a host of lesser popular cigars. They almost always deliver for me! I guess the nice thing about being opinionated is that I did not have to find out the hard way that the Big Hillbilly was a loser. If you like them, that is okay, there is no need to rationalize it to me… There is an ass for every seat as I say and everyone should buy, keep and smoke the cigars that they like, not what the smoker next to them likes… -the Pig 1
Newkarian Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Delivered: Fuente Anejo 77, Epi 2, BHK 54 Not so much: anything opus x, fuete Don Carlos Gran Aniverxario. Worst piece of dog **** Ive ever smoked especially for the price
mgravito Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Delivered: BHK54. OR are better but the regular production are still excellent. Also JL2. Not: Punch Punch. I just don't get it. I keep smoking them thinking I'm missing something. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

mbrody Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Delivers: Hup Connie A Doesn't: RA extra and RJ Escudos (think the later is past prime)
BRAC Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Delivered: CPE, HURR, RA Superiores Didn't deliver: RA Extra 2011, Monte 520
Steens Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Delivered RA Extra at 1st was great, then went sick now loving them again , Monte 520, Mag 46 (hyped by Rob ) Didn't Cohiba 1966 BHK 52
jat Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Easy 1966 Cohiba ...amazing La Flor De Cano Grandiosos , nothing good to say, will leave it at that.. +1 on both. LFDC Grand - waiting for the cigar angels to transform these sticks into something....sort of like hoping a $10 bottle of red will be fantasitc in a few years....though these weren't in that price bracket.

shlomo Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Hype that delivers: Lopes rolled Monsdales. Although when I bought mine, I didn't know they were hyped. Hype that does not: Most ELs. Very, very, few exceptions. Aged (15+ years) cigars. Also too much inconsistency and few exceptions. Conde 54, meh and L.A. Esception, yuck. RACF, blech. 1
cigcars Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 La Flor De Cano Grandiosos , nothing good to say, will leave it at that.. ****Above quote was from westg*** (accidently messed up putting the quote in...) I felt the exact same way when I smoked all my samples. It's just that Rob, El Presidente` spoke so highly of them I just couldn't bring myself to say anything...might've hurt his itty bitty duck feelings! LOL. I truly enjoy the regular production La Flor de Cano Selectos and PC En Cedros much much better than the Grandiosos. Sorry, Rob!
