ag794516 Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Based on your experience , which one have been the best? Maybe you can also tell us why and share some pictures.
Phillys Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 On the LE side, I have really enjoyed the 520 and the 1966, rich, complex and such class. two of my favorite cigars, even though the 520 is a bit to thick it is still a great cigar. For REs, the RA Gordito (Canada), amazing cigar from one of my favorite Marcas. Will post some pics when I get home.
Lant63 Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Por Larranaga - Magnificos ER UK 2007That's eight years ago.Ed 54 hands down. Por Larranaga rdl would be next. I have yet to smoke a 1966 or a por larranaga legendario Sent by telepathic super powers -Stogie Boy 1
Maplepie Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Por Larranaga - Magnificos ER UK 2007 Past FIVE years...
NweakO Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Edmundo Dantes 109 are the only thing that impressed me. I would pay an arm & leg to get a box.
shlomo Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 ELs I really liked the Monte GE for a time, but havent had one in well over a year. Pretty much nothing else since, a couple before (Boli PB, Dukes, Cohiba Piramides '06) REs, they are expensive and the value is rarely, if ever there, but some I have enjoyed regardless of cost have been; RA Gorditos, RA Super Ramon, VR Petit Rob Canada, RA PR Israel, RA Beritus, Bolivar 681, Bolivar 108, Bolivar Britannicas, ERDM Infantes, PL Encantos, SLR Pacificos There are certainly others, but this is a list of cigars I have smoked at least 5 or 10 of to get a good feel for them. Smoking one or two of any cigar and saying how great it is is foolish imo. 2
kittipong Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 My mistake. If last 5 years, I gave Quai D'Orsay - Robusto Embajador for my top list.
dchapman Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Generally I favor regular production sticks and LCDH releases over REs or LEs, but the 2 boxes of Por Larranaga Encantos I've smoked have been excellent.
jsummers157 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Haven't tried too many as I usually spend my money on regular production stuff, but was in Rome a few years back and bought a few La Escepcions while I was there. They were so good and so unlike any regular production cigar I'm familiar with, I had to grab a box. Looking forward to trying the Bushidos also.
rigby Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 for me... RyJ Duke for an EL, and RA Gordita for a RA... 1
smokenj Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I would put the Punch Serie d'Oro No.2 EL 2013 on my list. I got a box to put in my aging drawer, but took about ten out to just enjoy. 1
MC4 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Haven't tried many, but I would say 520 and 1966s.
MattW Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Regional Editions wise: Diplomaticos - Coleccion Privadas (Spain 2012) and LFDC - Short Robustos (UK 2010) are two of my favourites, both smaller format cigars, but packed full of flavour none-the-less!
Dara Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Ok so the R&J Duke was 2009 but seeing as it wasn't widely distributed until 2010 I think it should count and so get my vote for best EL of last 5 years. It was a cracker when it first came out and just keeps getting better. On the RE front I'm going to go with the spanish Diplomaticos colleccion privada from 2012...amazing cigar (I'm basing this on 10+ of them I've smoked compared to 1 or 2 single REs I've had which could have been flukes)!
Puros Y Vino Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 The following have been outstanding for me. RE's La Escepcion Selectos Finos Ramon Allones Celestiales Finos Ramon Allones Petit Unicos LE's Cohiba Piramdies (2006) Cohiba 1966 Punch Serie D'Oro No 2 Romeo Y Julieta Dukes
CUBANO Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 The Pl Encantos RE Asia, and the best EL for me was the RJ Dukes
BonVivant Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Por Larranaga Legendarios RE Spain, if you are talking about the release within last five years in terms of smoking experience within last five years, add Por Larranaga Magnificos RE UK
CdnLimitada Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Very limited experience but thus far: LE- Monte 520, GE, Punch D'oro 2 RE- my favorite cigar period is the QdO Superiores
