Thanks for the awesome review! I've got 1 of these left, and I am really looking forward to it now. The last time I smoked one was 2010, and it was phenomenal.

Great review. There were some brilliant aged Lonsdales on today's 24:24 listings (Diplomatico No.1 and Montecristo No.1). If this shows up on a 24:24 sale I think I will die from shock! drool.gif

It's a German RE - not very likely to show up at Czar.

Yeah I know...hence why I would die from shock. However, it's uncanny how many discontinued or older cigars have showed up on 24:24 listings lately.

At prices that are even higher than the secondary market... But anyway - German RE have never shown up here so I wouldn't hold my breath ;)

IF they showed up, they'd be 4 digits. You can have my box for that :innocent:

One of the few cigars that guys in the know back then labeled potential ultimate classics that panned out. I bought ten a few years ago and they were good. I smoked one last July from a box I have and it was very good. I have smoked a few since they have acclimated to 62% in my desktop and they are off the charts. I only wish the Encantos, which seem to be bland as hell, were half as good as the German REs. I think we are going to start to hear that the Bolivar Especial #2 German RE are ready to go and are in the same league as the PL Lonsdale RE.

Awesome review! Loved the pics and text. I have a few singles of these left and I will have to savor them. Haven't had one in years! Happy smoking cigar.gif

Great review, very well done. Great cigar when it's not plugged. Have had a few boxes and at least for me there has been a high number of plugged cigars. But when the draw is right it is one heck of a cigar.

Thank you all for the generous compliments!

I have since tried two more of these, 1 was plugged beyond repair, and one was really good, around a 95 or 96... It's amazing how different cigars from the same box can be...

Excellent review. I've thought on a few occasions that I was smoking what I would call a "100pt" cigar than the last third would always tail off that high podium. Maybe, I need to follow you're advice and cut and purge...

Recently had a Dippy #4 from 2006 that was right there at that 97-98 pt rating. Thinking another year or two will be completely perfect. IMO the 2003 HDM des Dieux are right there in that 97-98 rating as well for me. Marvelous cigars

Great review and glad you hit the pinnacle!

When these draw they can be an excellent smoke. To my misfortune I've still a few sitting in the 'hope these open up so I can smoke them some day' section of the humidor.

Just saw a sale offer for $1K on a box. Anyone interested I could point you to it.....I'm passing shead.gif

Yes, I agree these can have some with tight draws, out of two boxes, 4 have been unsmokable... But the one's that were smokable, have been amazing...

Not worth $1000 a box at this time... Maybe in about 10 years, if they continue to age as well as they have so far...

Yeah, I passed as well... If that's the going rate, I might part with my box ;)

If you have these, cherish them. If you can find these... mortgage your home, sell your wife, kids and your dog, they are worth it!

Great review, thanks!
