Habana Mike Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 While I've had the chance to smoke just one or two of some of the more highly esteemed cigars in the LE line (Cohiba - Sublimes, Montecristo - Sublimes, Cohiba 1966, H. Upmann - Magnum 50, etc.), I'm mentioning the ones I found myself buying multiple boxes of as I think that's a good indicator of what I've considered the best. Top 3 for me are: Bolívar - Super Coronas - these have been great right out of the gate. Montecristo 520 - when you get a good one they're amazing. Trinidad - Ingenios - really enjoyed these upon appearance. Went through a dull period but the few I have remaining have regained or surpassed their former glory. Others I quite enjoyed and purchased multiples include: Romeo y Julieta - Dukes - went through many boxes of these though they seem to have lost their lustre of late. Montecristo - Grand Edmundo - almost a toss-up with the 520 Punch - Serie D'Oro No. 2 - another good one upon release Hoyo de Monterrey - Epicure Especial - pretty tasty smoke Honorable mention goes to the Hoyo de Monterrey - Particulares - shame 3/5 from my box were plugged pretty tight, still waiting to see if they'll ever open up.
Smallclub Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 No particular order Partagas D3 2001 Partagas D2 2003 RyJ Robusto 2001 honorable mention: Montecristo robusto 2001 Hoyo Epicure Especiale 2004 / Hoyo piramides 2003 Cohiba DC 2003 Upmann Magnum 50 2005 Cuaba piramides 2008
Benzopyrene Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 1. Cohiba Sublimes 04.....far and above the best IMO 2. Monte 520 12 3. Trinidad Ingenios 07 1
Carpenter69 Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 RA 2011 Extra Montecito 520 1966 Only because these are the only LE's I've been fortunate enough to smoke. Lol

Maplepie Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 I wonder what's your favorite marca...! Thing is that the Grand Edmundo and the 520 have barely tasted like the run-of-the-mill Montecristos. The Sublime with its strength starting out is a maybe, but the LE 2010 and 2012 haven't lived up to true marca. This isn't saying they're bad cigars. The 2010 Grand Edmundo was a really nice, oily, chocolate bomb for me!
nick2021 Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 I hope so - I recently purchased a box in Andorra!i purchased a box of the 520s in Andorra recently as well and was really happy with them---wish I had picked up more at their price. Oh well, maybe next time....
Dara Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 No real brand loyalty in my top 3 1 - 2005 Mag 50.....loved this cigar but sadly was too late to the cigar game to pick up more than a few single stick. I love the Mag 50 but these had all the same great aspects of the 50 but they were turned all the way up to 11! 2- 2009 R&J Duke.....cracker of a cigar and I love these. Have 2 boxes put away for significant future events like wedding children etc 3 - 2008 Monte Sublimes....amazing cigar but after the success of the Cohiba Sublime they disappeared quick so I got 1 box and have 2 left which I'm holding (and a 2008 EL travel retail sampler which had 2 in it).
jsummers157 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 1) Montecristo Sublime (by a wide margin) 2) Montecristo 520 3) RA Extra Though, regrettably, never was able to try the Cohiba Sublime or 1966.
CigSid Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Having had many boxes of the early LE's, I feel extremely fortunate. The best of the best is a toss up between: H. Upmann Magnum 50 LE Hoyo Epicure Especial 2004 Both of these are still amazing from start to finish. The next is: Partagas Piramides 2000 Great cigar, took forever to calm down and balance out, but what a winner it is now... Honorable mention in no particular order: Montecristo Robustos 2000 Cohiba Sublimes RyJ Ex #2 2000 Monte Sublimes 2008 (almost 3rd place... really good) Partagas Serie D No 3 2001 Hoyo Piramides 2003
MC4 Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 haven't tried many. for me it's : Monte Sublime 1966 520
nikesupremedunk Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 I'm very surprised to see so many RA Extras on the list. They have been pretty disappointing IMO and last I remember most people seemed to agree. Not a huge fan of EL's but some of the memorable ones I've smoked were 04 RyJ hermoso #2 and Monte 520. I will try another 1966 soon but the couple I've had were pretty underwhelming.
