laficion Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Hi all, Here Is a question for some. Can anyone tell us how the "La Esception , Italia, 2011 Regional " are doing right now ? How are they smoking and what are your Inpressions ? I had and still have a great Inpression of them. Thank you . Guy
TrickNick Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 They are smoking beautifully right now. I think they have improved significantly with some age. I ran a blind cigar tasting of LEs/REs at the end of last year and this was the second favorite cigar in the line up and one of only 3 cigars to average a score of above 90. 1
Jeremy Festa Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 One of the best in my opinion. Was lucky enough to get a bunch. But ask Rob. He won't touch his 'til 2021. Speaks volumes really. Sent from my iPhone
shlomo Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 One of the worst cigars I have smoked. Had a couple and dumped my box. Still have a couple left and will see in the summer if I made a mistake, or not.
Jeremy Festa Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Can they be "easily" found in Italy yet? No Sent from my iPhone

Dara Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Can they be "easily" found in Italy yet?They could back in 2013.....until Diadema produced the jar to shift the remaining stock.You can find vendors who'll probably do a deal on a box as they had to buy 2 boxes to get the jar!
shlomo Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Mistake Sent from my iPhone For your tastes maybe. I saw nothing in them to try and keep. Well see.
Puros Y Vino Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Had a few recently. Still smoking beautifully. The stealthy, brain buzz it gives you towards the halfway point has subsided. Flavour wise, I'm getting some tangy notes of caramel, hickory and baking spice. There are some strong notes here and there but overall it is a very smooth cigar. Lots of legs to age further.
Cigar Surgeon Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I haven't smoked mine in a while but the last time I did (halfway through last year) they were still fantastic. I'll likely try again once the weather improves.
riazp Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 smoked one not too long ago, really enjoyed it, still a very strong cigar, defenitly need to smoke this on a full stomach. I wish i could afford a full box so i can lay them away for 5 more years.
oliverdst Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I just had one and agree with most of you: strong. Remarkable. Would buy a box based on that one.
El Presidente Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I love the balance of intensity and breadth of flavours. I love the format. For me it is one to lay down and sample every 12 months or so. I suspect 8 years or so will see them become something really special but due to the fact they are that good now i don't want to find they have gone backwards (hence the annual tasting). and no....I don't have any for sale 3
