bradbrennan Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 I know a few smokers that take notes every cigar they smoke. I probably should but still seem to be able to remember my favorites as I continue to reach for those that satisfy me most. The more I smoke, the more disappointed I am when the cigar doesn't fit. But I get bored with too much of the same. Finding it harder to find the next one that really fits for me, how about you? Most recent most enjoyable smokes: Monte 5, (at least 3) Monte 4, Monte Petit Edmundo, Punch Punch, couple farm rolls, Ramon Allones SS, PSD4, JL2, Partagas 898, CoRo, Epi 2, Bolivar PC, Partagas Shorts Most recent less enjoyable smokes: Partagas Lusitanias, Bolivar Libertador, Conni A Most recent far less enjoyable smokes: Sancho Panza Non Plus
UpInSmoak Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 I second that opinion on the non plus. Worst cigar I've had in the last couple years. Most enjoyable as of late: 2011 PSD4 2013 Connie A 2013 Punch Punch
Rye Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 I have to say something for the quality and young approachability of the recent LGC MdO 2's & 4's. I have been fighting not to smoke through them like wildfire. Boli Corona Gigantes have been spectacular Ramon Allones Superiores, and the Gorditos I've been demolishing.
JohnS Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 My most enjoyable as of late: CoRo, JL2, HdM San Juan and Des Dieux, Cohiba 1966 LE and Lancero, Partagas Culebras and Seleccion Privada LE, RyJ Churchill My least enjoyable smokes as of late: Monte No.2, RyJ No.1.
Jeremy Festa Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 I smoke something different nearly every time. Always rotating. If I have a really really good one, then I will probably have something different in between once. And then bounce back to it. But I only have (read: I am only allowed) 1 to 2 cigars a week. Definitely makes me appreciate them more. For me, recents are Monte Esp No 2. PLMC, RACF, Party Corona, HDM Du Maire, SCDLH El Principe, SLR Serie A, HU Mag 46 and Trini Robusto T. And worth noting, Sancho Panza Molinos have been my absolute favourite recently. Have had two in the last 2 weeks that were like a 94/95 experience.
subiemech Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Im going through my supply of Boli Super Coronas, Connie As, and my Epi #2 faster than anything else.

I have been curious on millions from sp, now I am sure that I need to try one!
earthson Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Being hogging down on all things RA and PL lately. After a few months off, have also recently been enjoying Fuentes sungrowns and rosados as well as numerous Nicaraguans.Still only like Partagas and HdM only very rarely for a change of pace.
ogus Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 The bros here urged me to get Molinos and I found two boxes from 2011. No regrets. Surprised how disparate the quality among Montie 2, Trini Reyes. The Montie 4's I had this year were top notch.
Nedule Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Had a Bolivar PC in the hot tub the other night, I think it was from 2008'ish, so good.
bradbrennan Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 I changed the title to this topic as it appeared too close to the "What's your daily smoke" topic. What I was hoping to see is how our tastes follow possible groupings. Similar to the topic "How many in your regular rotation", except I'd love to see what they are and the others that you may have slipped in along with your regulars in the last few weeks.

polarbear Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 I don't like to smoke the same cigar too often so I take photos of each stick I smoke with my phone. I can tell you the last 50 cigars I smoked I often try to find some redeeming feature in every stick I smoke, so for to be classified as "terrible" is rare. That being said, the last crap cigar I smoked was a VR Unico on 22/2/15 2
laficion Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 The last cigar I smoked was a "Semois" tobacoo cigar ,which wasn't too bad I must say . Then I smoked a HdM Epicure No.1, then a JP No.1 , but also a Miguel custom farmie from Hector Luis Preito. Guy

If you don't mind listing the last handful, I'd love to see some of it!
DWC Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 No, I can't name my last 10 but I do remember the ones I like and dislike the most. Most recently: RA Caprichios Was fantastic. I'll be looking for more. ERDM Elegantes original Super! too bad it was discontinued. SP Molinos and NP Liked them both very much. Mag 46 Love 'em. Part of my regular rotation SLR Regios Nope! Didn't do much for me. I would have sworn it had Nicaraguan tobacco mixed in with it. Partagas Serie P no. 2 Nope. Didn't like it and I usually love Partagas -Dan
Stogieninja Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 H Upmann Majestic - decent Warped La Colmena Unico - excellent Crowned Heads Four Kicks - excellent. Cohiba Siglo IV '12 - good, but needs more time Perdomo '68 from '10 - five years was very good to this cigar Edmundo Dante Conde 54 - excellent! Caldwell LLTK The Heater - one of my favorite new releases Cabanacuan Connecticut - bland and flavorless Caldwell Gibraltar - surprisingly good, given the price PLPC '08 - loved this one.
Habana Mike Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Here'e the last few I recall smoking, though not in complete chronological order. LGC MdO #2 Flor de Cana Gran Cana RyJ Petite Corona Bolivar Super Corona Partagas SdC #1 Bolivar Royal Corona Ramon Allones Small Club Corona Partagas 8-9-8 RG Perla Cohiba Lancero PLPC Upmann Mag 46 Bolivar Libertador SCDLH Principe Quite enjoyed just about all except the BRC, ULA ABR14 - they were pretty tasty a few months back but seem to be in a dull period.
brutusthebuckeye Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Johnny O Genio... RASS... JL2... Epi 2.... Monte Petite 2.... HUHC.... Johnny O Genio.... RyJ Duke EL 09.....
johndalton44 Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Pretty sure this is order from most recent to not. Vegueros Mañanitas--loving these Viaje Oro Reserva No 5 Viaje Exclusivo Event Only Corona Gorda RA Celestiales Finos--so brilliant Vegueros Mañanitas HU Noellas OR Quesada Seleccion España Ninfa--tremendous Diamond Crown Julius Caeser Shark RA Gorditos--bought a box afterward ERDM PC Last bad cigar I had was a 1502 Ruby Lancero. Put that thing down after 1.5"
610 Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Of the last 10 that I would rate as exceptional top to bottom: CORO's (2): incredibly rich. Epi 2: incredibly good. Diamond Crown Julius Ceasar Toro: earthy and sweet cedar. Wide Churchill's(2): great in hand, tons of cool smoke, love the opening. All of them 13 or 14 box codes, Julius Ceasar had around 3 yrs on it.
