Maplepie Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 I'd really like to try an old La Escepcion some day, and so many other DC'd brands & vitolas, but I feel very fortunate to have tried what I have so far. Private sales had a pair of old Diademas fetching $350 for the two. I'm not sure if I'm sad that I missed out on those sticks. The thing is... Would it really be as good as old Punch, RA, etc that can probably be found for a fraction of the price? Size aside, why does it go for at least 2x more as a Punch from that year? That's what I've always asked myself when really old discontinued cigars show up.
merc Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 My current to try list: Behike 52 CCE Monte Especial #2 Sir Winston Connie A Will email Di about some singles in the new year... when the credit card has recovered a bit
polarbear Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Any of the Cuban DC's Cost mainly puts me off
OleOle Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 I'm not 'dying' to try any but I think it would reward me to explore more of the Punch vitolas. Mmm rewarding...
MostlyHarmless Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Most of the Cohibas. But i have been smoking cigars only for a relatively short period of time and i figured i have still a long time ahead of me to try them out and you got to always have something to look forward to i think
raymond5737 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Nothing dying to try, but an aged (5 yr) Cohiba Lancero is on my list of wanna try. I have some CCE's and love them. The lancero is said to be even better. -Dan I'm fantasizing about the Cohiba Lancero too but what will they cost man, what will they cost? And to have to wait for 5 years to age them? I don't think that I could do it! But Maybe?
raymond5737 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Pretty much any Cohiba really. I own some, but I'm aging them at the moment. Upmann Sir Winnie's and Partagas Lusitania are definitely on the list. The Upmann Sir Winston and the Partagas, Lusitania. I can't even say those two cigar names without getting the shivers.
PigFish Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Believe it or not, I've never tried a Behike. The size and cost put me off for the longest time but I'll probably look to trade for a few in the near future. Wilkey You are not missing much my friend. You know that insipid blind cigar that we just reviewed? That is what you are looking forward to...! JMHO... I would not trade a known good cigar for one! -R
sheppsea Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 I'd love to get my hands on the Punch India RE and a Monte A to try. Although not a specific cigar I'd also love also to try some Panetelas Largas sized cigars Trying a pre-1992 Boli GM to compare it to the LCDH release would also be very interesting
earthson Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 CCE or CoLa with 3-5 years on it so I can decide whether they're worth the price. PL Picadores Rafael Gonzalez RE Alemania And a Por Larranaga perfecto cuz a man has got to dream
Ginseng Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 You are not missing much my friend. You know that insipid blind cigar that we just reviewed? That is what you are looking forward to...! JMHO... I would not trade a known good cigar for one! -R Now that cigar was horrible. I've since had the opportunity to try a Behike and I found it to be quite a satisfactory, muscular cigar. Promising. Wilkey
mikek Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Some of the customs, the last one was twenty years ago. I missed the split that went down A couple weeks ago! Also A Cohiba lancero.
PigFish Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Now that cigar was horrible. I've since had the opportunity to try a Behike and I found it to be quite a satisfactory, muscular cigar. Promising. Wilkey If you read my review, I liked it too. I figured what it was and was able to call it based on the similarity to a Siglo6 (this was a blind tasting for those of you reading). I still don't think that they are worth the money based on the other reviews and the inconsistency of the 52s that I have smoked, but the 56 is noticeably better than the 52s. At $15 each I would likely buy some of these. I was also pleasantly surprised how much I liked it. At the asking price I am not a player… I can find great sticks in my humidors that cost me $6.00!!! These are not worth $30.00 bucks... Cheers! -P
MashTea Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Punch Punch is at the top of my list right now. Followed by the Mag 46
maxcjs0101 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 I would love to try a Behike or a Esplendidos. Heck i've never even tasted any Cohibas due to financial constraint.
martymonty Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Have never had a Cohiba ... Like others, the price scares me... Maybe I will like them too much? Lol Have never had a Sir Winnie either.... Though I do have a box sitting since my Nov. trip to Cuba... Waiting for the weather to warm up to get the best out of it though! Come onnnn Spring !
