From looks alone I would choose the middle Box and not because I like darker wrappers on Winnie's it's the consistency. So we've now seen nearly 10 boxes of 2016 Winnie's with all type of wrapper shade and color. Would like to see bottom rows on those boxes as well. Also @RijkdeGooier could you shed some light on what they smell like? The box I have smells unlike any of my other boxes. Thanks for sharing!

RijkdeGooier Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 @zeedubbya all boxes smelled great. Typical subdued Hupmann when young barnyard and grassy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypots Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Back in the old days Upmans with light colored wrappers could be very potent cigars. I remember some #2s from '01 that with light wrappers like the box on the left that would make all but the most seasoned cigar lover nicotine sick. If the ones pictured are like the ones I had they will need some serious down time. They should get good, but you may well be risking your life if smoked too early. Think fresh RACF.

Yes that's exactly what Winnie's usually smell like to me! The most recent box I received didn't have that musk, grassy barnyard smell. They smell more like ELs. A damp earthy, rich tobacco and chocolate smell. I think Rob said once like opening a Cadbury Egg In a Horse Field. Like the Bushidos. Was very surprised by it. Maybe it's the difference in factories or something? Who knows. Overthink overthink.... In all reality it is nice to even be discussing them again, that's for sure. I hope we keep seeing them for a little while at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kbb Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Please don't tell me the current price is $600 a box for recent production? The $24 a stick is for singles right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Please don't tell me the current price is $600 a box for recent production? The $24 a stick is for singles right?Cheapest I see is around $500 these days - and no stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nekhyludov Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Just for the sake of comparison, here's a ROM ENE 16 box I bought blind last year. Very consistent wrappers; I got lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaclub Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Man these look beautiful. Makes me want to buy these now. But have no idea where to get them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLC Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Just picked up a box in Havana (MEL DIC 15). They have the most oily wrapper I have seen on a cigar, a thing of beauty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first, I thought the box on the upper right, because I like the grain of the wood. Then, in the next picture, I know I'm supposed to pick the middle box, but I'd still go with upper right because, well, I haven't seen a box of SW in a while and maybe I'm feeling like Goldilocks. The box lower left, in all cases, looks the least appetizing. Construction good across all boxes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RijkdeGooier Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 @earthson of course I didn't inspect every single one of the 75 cigars but the ones I did felt great. Still the proof of the pudding is in the eating? As an aside this makes me more at ease to crack open my 09 box after I'll finish with the 03's.

LLC Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 It was DIC 16. Thanks. They were already in the freezer and I was going by memory. Good thing I have an almost full box of ARG ABR 14's that I am slowly enjoying Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
