El Presidente Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Cigar or cigars you believe get a "bum rap" ......you know, the one, two or three cigars that you enjoy that are never spoken about or are dismissed/blasted around the cigar community. Name them....tell us what you like about them....give them some limelight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duxnutz Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Cuaba - the Salomon specifically but the brand in general. Had a couple delightful ones (the smallest ones) lately. Also the plethora of small size Partagas. Recently enjoyed a glorious Super Partagas and Petite Coronas Especial, never hear about those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Cuaba Distinguidos All too often their "bum wrap" is due to just that, a bum wrap-per/ roll. When good, I love the figurado vitola and long smoking experience full of rich flavours, but damn, I hate those woody/sawdust tasting turds they can be. So, what's yours El Prez?

CaptainQuintero Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Monte #3 - even the ugly ones have a taste that is not typical Monte to me. Maybe why it disappoints many who expect a traditional Monte profile. A tannic, citrus leather with a coffee cream profile that with 5+ years turns to a wonderful raisin and vanilla latte blend. If you don't like Monte you may like them, if you like Monte try them with an open mind. (Quintero Panetelas) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cigcars Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 1. The Cuaba brand series. I've enjoyed each and every size they've produced. Never found any of them lacking in enjoyable quality! 2. The Monte Open series. What the hey!? Why is this so vilified??? I've enjoyed them each time I've had them! 3. Finally poor ole' Guantanamera Hey - it's affordable most places. And very indicative of Havana tobacco! So the construction's a little lousy - hey! What are ya gonna do! Chin's up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCgarman Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Monte #4s are a fine cigar and have wonderful coffee cream cocoa flavors. Nobody should dismiss this stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigFish Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 ....Hmmm! (Fill in blank) Coronas (Fill in blank) Lonsdale (Fill in blank) Petit Coronas (Fill in blank) Coronas Extra... Are we defining 'wrap' by who smokes them, or who stopped making them? I say its who makes them, because Tabacuba does not listen to seasoned smokers like me. A lot of seasoned smokers see good taste and value in these cigars, therefore NOT "wrapping them in bum." Cheers! -Piggy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbandz Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Mille Fleurs,Parti and RyJ...love both,nice flavors,good price RyJ churchills....... never had a bad one RyJ tubos....still remember my first Cuban,RyJ tubo......veiny,green,extraordinary...........

ramon_cojones Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I don't think rgpc get a bum wrap, more of an under the radar smoke actually. Ryj now I won't touch those LOL but I find the caz enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my cleaning day at FOH....I hate it...my mind is on cleaning every piece of glassware at FOH...and there is PLENTY What I am meaning are cigars that get no promotion on the boards or even vilified.

leftimatic Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 RYJ Tubos #3 and Monte Junior Opens I don't know, had a box of each and was very sad when they were gone. Only complaint about the RYJ's were that they didn't last longer. I think I may restock in the new year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tippexx Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Any of the RyJ Tubos I'd go a bit further Polar, I'd say all Tubos. All are too easily dismissed because of the cost of the tube, and the tube dismissed as being only a carrier. And when was the last time anyone smoked or reviewed a Monte Tubos, a real cracker of a smoke in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmarvcr Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 +1 on Super Partagas, I would be hard pressed to find a cheap smoke as good as these. Not sure why they get a bad rap Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo17pip Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 RyJ Coronitas en Cedro. Great little cigar for the money and love the size too! I also agree with what others have said about the RyJ Tubos, they're good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmac77 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I find it hard to say that the Monte 4 gets a bum rap seeing as it is one of the biggest sellers in the world today. My vote would go to Cuaba. I bought a really nice looking box of divinos a while back and they are really good. Lovely woody nutmeg flavour profile and not a dud among them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puros Y Vino Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Quintero's. Haven't had them all but I've enjoyed the Panatellas a lot. Great bang for the buck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
