Larsy Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Delivered: Encantos. They've been so consistent for me, just beautiful Did not: Monte 2's. I think the 4's are tons better. Ramon Allones Extra LE
Armaniac Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Delivered, LGC Medaille D'or#2. Amazing stick. Did not deliver, Behike 52, completely underwhelming.
dan5974 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Delivered.....RA Superiores Didn't.....Ashton VSG.I know people love them,but I think they're horrible.
Pedro2486 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Delivered for me. Siglo VI tubos from 2012. Didn't. Partagas Lusi GR. It was everything Ken and Rob said but the actual flavour profile just didn't suit my taste unfortunately.
Rye Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 The Connie A's lived up to their hype for me The FdC Grandiosos did not 2
maverickdrinker Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Delivered: 1492, 1994 Didn't deliver: Cohiba DCs...the last couple were underwhelming...
Maplepie Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Welcome back to the forum, Art!! Didn't deliver: Cohiba DCs...the last couple were underwhelming... Clynch n' I were just discussing this. found the same about the Sublimes. did the DCs ever prime up, though?
LeafLover Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Yes: HURR, HUPC No: RAE and RAE Undecided: HUHC (last few were bad) Next to try: Punch Punch
Laxman Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 YES: Siglo 6 BTO codes, HURR, Punch Punch, LFDC, RA Sups, Connie A's NO: RA extras, HUHC (good but not as good as the hype), BHK 54, fresh SLR Regios (also good but not as good as the hype)
Bill Hayes Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Delivered - 1st: Siglo VI in 2003 - still remember my first. 2nd: SLR DC Didn't Deliver - RASS, Upmann Mag 46 and every RyJ I've had. Odd because I keep thinking I just must have got flavourless ones or matched the wrong drink as I know people like all three mentioned. As a result, I have steered clear of RyJ, RA and to a lesser extent Upmann and leaned towards Cohiba and Partagas the most followed by Bolivar and Punch. I wonder if there is a thread of flavour profile that runs through my non-favoured brands that I just don't like. I'll keep trying though. Had a mag 50 that did display some nice choccie notes a while back.
subport Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Did: HURR Did not: cohiba maduro 5 genios (if there was any hype at all)
OkieJoe Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Didn't: La Flor De Cano Grandiosos Did: Edmundo Dante's 109 or JL2 Not sure if the JL2's are "hyped", but they seem to have a strong following. Are there better sticks out there? Sure. But the JL2 never cease to disappoint.
jabuan Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 CC: delivered - behike 52 struck out - hdm epi 2. just doesn't do it for me NC delivered: crowned heads headley grange failed miserably: my father flor de las antillas
jabuan Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 I don't what it is about the Epi 2, but I just have never gotten a good one (or even one that I mildly enjoyed), despite all the praise it has received. you and me both. maybe future vintages will be different.
