2014 - LGC ER Caribe - Paraiso

[HarveyBoulevard]

Curious if anyone has gotten their hands on these and/or have some thoughts and comments on them.

I love most anything LGC and I love the Caribbean so I have a few on the way. I have not bought any boxes of ELs but I do buy the occasional box of ER if they are a marca or a region I like.

I enjoy them, not really any LGC DNA, very wrapper dependent on the ones I have smoked so far, like the Picadores, their wrappers have been from green to maduro like and everything in between

Worth grabbing a fiver to try IMHO

Had one. Was a nice cigar that had nothing to do with LGC except the name. Is it worth the asking price from the sources I have seen? Heck no.

I have been wondering the same. Have not tried one yet but being an avid LGC fan for the flavor profile I don't think I will try for the price. I'd rather just grab another box of MdO 2 as those are always a must in the humidor.

Good cigar but it was not amazing.

Compared to the other posts here, I thought these were dynamite.  They flat out knocked this out of the park.  I’d argue this was one of the better regionals.  I wish I had bought more but the regional program is such a gamble.  I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad regional, it’s just that the price/value ratio can be questionable and extremely subjective.

I am in full agreement. I think setting these down for a few years has done them a lot of good. Really a top notch smoke that I am finding to be one of my go-to cigars in the last half year.

These are all over Aruba right now.  In fact, the hotels are even selling them.  

I’d buy a few boxes if I didn’t have my duty free allowance waiting for me in NYC for my return home.  It kills me that I can’t buy a few boxes right now.

The first one I tried out of a box purchased in the Caribbean was terrible. Tasted like cardboard. Hoping it was just a dud and the rest will be better.
