3 Part Cigar Rotation Evaluation

[ogus]

1. The One Cigar that transports and seemingly transforms your being consistently every time.

For me the recent MC #4. I smoke it alone and have a memorable occasion every time. Perfect.

2. The One Cigar that could be the best ever but not always, consistency issues. Or so good you want to smoke them only occasionally. You don't want to spoil your taste for them. This may be the same as #1 Cigar.

The MC #2 is better than the #4 for me but only the minority in my humidor accomplish this. Another is the Trini Reyes. Fabulous, scary good, don't want to smoke them too often.

3. The One Cigar that you would be happy having as your everyday smoke. Great and consistent and you would be happy with this one only.

For me first the Party Short. Always good and easy to smoke. Runner up is PSD4. Consistently amazing but sometimes a little work to smoke and would wear me out daily.

If this complex review is something you want to convey I am interested to hear your opinions. Also if your marca preferences are like mine and want to offer suggestions that too is appreciated.

The upmann no2 for me is the most consistent cigar, over the years every time I grab one to smoke they have been excellent. As far as your second question I agree with the Monte No2. When on one of my favorite cigars but with all the bad boxes and construction issues out there it is one box I never buy blind.

Everyday smoke would either be the PSD4 or most recent the RA Superiors have been the most consistent cigar. At around 10 dollars a stick it has been a go to cigar as of late. Have always been a fan of the PSD4's.

Yes Upmann 2 is a "mystique" cigar very special if aged. That fits these criteria for me also.

My go to cigar lately has also been the RA Superiores. Very consistent so I grabbed 5 boxes when they were on sale. I love a good Monte 2 they are magical when on. I was thinking about grabbing a box of Double Edmundo, but I think I will wait for a PSP box of Monte 2 instead. They are just fabulous when done right. When I just need a solid smoke I reach for a PLPC or a party short. Hard to beat either cigar in a quality VS price line of thinking.

For regular production only...

1. Cohiba Piramides Extra, haven't had a bad one and love the flavour.

2.Cohiba Behike 56...there are in average 3-4 perfect ones in a box which are mind blowing...

The rest are usually underfilled which throws the flavour off...

This would be number 1. except for the inconsistency !

Same reason for most else.

Sorry, a bit off topic but for the coin, would you rather get two boxes of Piramides Extra or a cab of Siglo VI?

[Habana Mike]

1: Upmann Sir Winston

2: Trinidad Robusto T - per the latter part of the question, consistency hasn't been much of an issue

3: Upmann Sir Winston

[GodofFire]

Because I don't have any money my rotation is on the cheap side.

1. BCJ

2. BPC

3. Varies depending on what I have bought from others in 5 packs. Also slip in a NC in this spot

Fortunately for me $ doesn't factor, so purely for enjoyment I would go for the Piramide Extra as I find myself reaching for them more often...

Siglo VI is good too though...love the Piramid feel and aesthetic

Absolutely with you on the Trini Robustos T...love them to bits ! Simply didn't factor them as they are discontinued...

[santela]

1. Monte PE

2. Siglo IV (consistency is usually good, but I've had mind blowing ones that I hope to replicate every time)

3. El Principe (to me the best minuto by a long shot)

[santela]

Fortunately for me $ doesn't factor

Wish I could say the same.

Interesting. I find Cohiba on the whole too inconsistent.

My staples:

HDM Epi 2

Superiores

SLR Serie A

1. Tie: SLR Regios/BPC - I have had the opportunity to get a second box of the former a couple months ago and it has been the one smoked the most with only 5 left to burn. I love the tingle on the retrohale and the flavours it imparts; good for any time of day. The latter was a recent split box pick up with a ULA ENE/FEB14 box code which I am wishing now I got one for myself lol. absolutely fantastic cigar. A bit of a heavy smoke for the morning for me but man it is full of body, aroma and flavour.

2. Of what i've ha the chance to put in my humi, it has to be the RAscc. ive had some real tight ones, and ones that just by looking at the foot you can tell its way overfilled and one that will have you drawing so hard you'll get a head rush. Amazing though when you get a good one.

3. HURR. Love the ones ive smoked from a tenner. The most recent one I paired with a rum blew my mind. So far though this box had one that was pretty damn tight and another that was sligthly less.

Close runner up would be the Boli Gold Medal, but only if I could afford to smoke1-2 of those a day lol and if I could afford that i'd likely alternate b/w that and BHK52's lol
