Sver Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Good day Aficionados I've been wanting to purchase a couple of tubos to hand out to friends when we get together. Thing is most of them don't smoke cigars and would not be able to give attention to a cigar for much more than 45 minutes. I would love to get my hands on Montecristo petit tubos (do they still make those?) but since i have little experience with tubos (siglo II, ryj #2, punch punch) what are some tubos you think are enjoyable for beginners and don't require an hour plus to enjoy, have any been "on" lately? Have a lovely weekend everyone, smoke some from the island tldr; looking for tubos for beginners, 45min smoke.
nick2021 Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 HDM coronations---friends have enjoyed them, doesn't break the bank, and makes for a decent smoke
CaptainQuintero Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 I've found Upmann Coronas Major very good, certainly not a lower tier cigar; plenty of that rich Upmann chocolatey leather and sweet cream. Like a Mag 46 crossed with the Petit Corona. 2
santela Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Siglo II Because unfortunately most beginners only know the Cohiba name, if you wanna make them feel really special and "boss-like", Siglo II seems to be the best choice. As for me, I don't like snobby beginners who are more concerned with the band rather than the cigar. So I just give them a PL Panetela, which to me is the perfect beginner cigar. 1
Cisco Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 For Tubo - the first one that comes to mind, HU Coronas Major - great cigar and will appeal to beginners. Partagas Coronas Senior is also a very good cigar. HdM Coronations an excellent mild-medium cigar. I also totally agree that the PLP, not a Tubo, is the perfect beginner cigar, as long as it is not rolled too tight. 1
garbandz Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 I've found Upmann Coronas Major very good, certainly not a lower tier cigar; plenty of that rich Upmann chocolatey leather and sweet cream. Like a Mag 46 crossed with the Petit Corona. this.......... hoyo coronations as well....
Walt69 Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 I hear good things about the Boli #3 tubos... but having never tried that particular vitoa myself I can't really say. A friend snuck back an Upmann Coronas Junior tubos for me from Ireland and I thought it was a bit mild but had good taste.
JohnS Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 For beginners, try Punch or HdM Coronation tubos because they won't break the bank and they are easy to enjoy, flavour-wise, for a beginner. Also, if you purchase these and take them out of the tubo packs and let them settle in your humidor for a month, they'll be even better, if that's possible for you to do! 1
shlomo Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 I really am enjoying fresh Peitt Chrchill tubos. I was all prepared to hate them becaue they are just an annoying addition and size....but they are really, really nice...
airtrade Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Troya Club Coronas... $50 for the box I'm going to procure a box of these just to see. I read many people enjoying them. Are the good fresh or let them rest?
Maplepie Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 I'm going to procure a box of these just to see. I read many people enjoying them. Are the good fresh or let them rest? Good luck letting them rest. I've gone through a good 4 or 5 boxes this winter... And I don't think many people enjoy them. I'm just a vocal minority with occasional people agreeing with me. But then again, $50 for a box - you can't lose (anything besides fifty bucks)!!
Fireant Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 I would also go with the Upmann Coronas Major. Every one I have sampled has been smooth as butta and won't break the bank. Also, RyJ tubos no.2 are a nice little smoke for roughly the same price, as well.
Sver Posted April 12, 2015 Author Posted April 12, 2015 Thanks guys for great suggestions, i've only tried the Coronas Major once and it was damn smooth, i think it fits the bill perfectly.
Homebrew Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Yep, you can'y go wrong with the Corona Major. My favorite C&C. Dave (A.K.A. Homebrew)
Professor Twain Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 I hear good things about the Boli #3 tubos... but having never tried that particular vitoa myself I can't really say. A friend snuck back an Upmann Coronas Junior tubos for me from Ireland and I thought it was a bit mild but had good taste. The Boli Tubos #3 is an outstanding cigar, but not for a beginner IMO. Great full bodied flavor and can have a lip numbing nicotine kick.
