hedgeybaby Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 The Dip 4 was my very first Cuban. I can remember walking into the Casa Havana in Soho very nervously and asking for a recommendation. Does anyone remember these smokes and does anyone have any left considering they were discontinued a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave001 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 there HSA now you have 2 people that want it back!! is that enough?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strikethebox7 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I agree, they need to bring them back. They seem to be a big forum favorite, I only wish I had the chance to try one before they were discontinued. I am amazed at how good the Dip RE spain is, from what I was told it is very similar to the dna of a dip 4. If thats the case sign me up. unfortunately with alot of great smokes that go the way of discontinued the allure becomes the hunt for those treasured few left. Hopefully Dip has some new releases in the future will that rival them!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 They should go the PLPC route on these and do them in 50's but only once every 2-3 years. With the shortage of leaf over the next 2-3 years, I wouldn't bank on them rolling back to a production of these anytime soon. They will leave it to the Distributors/Regional releases to do the heavy lifting if these were to return in any guise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 They (and many other discontinued cigars) only became favorites once they were no longer available. If they had been big sellers, they would have been kept around. Much like the LGC MdO series or QdO Imperiales. I do like them but a few collectors like us would be a drop in the bucket in terms of actual demand. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustrating to hear about the leaf shortage, especially with the new large RG cigars that require more leaves in general.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I too will join the chorus here and would love to have them back. I have savoured the ones I've had because they've all been smoked post-2010, after discontinuation. There's no way that Habanos S.A will bring these back into regular production, they'd rather use the leaf to make limited number Regional Editions for more return (sadly for us enthusiasts). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigFish Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Diplomatico cigars, are in my humble option better, cigar for cigar, than the Montecristo line. Losing the #1 and #3 was equally disturbing. Having loaded up on boxes of the #1, it remains a perennial favorite of mine. -Piggy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shikar Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Why make a simple single band cigar when you can double band it and double price it?!! What's your opinion of the Diplo Dutch regional? Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sales dictate everything in regular production. The Dip spanish RE was outstanding, and I'm still trying to find more of them with not much luck. I can't attest for how good or bad the dip 4 was as it was gone before I discovered Habanos. I just remembered people referring to it when the Spanish RE came out that it had a similar sweetness to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCgarman Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I was gifted a Dip#3 a few years ago. Had a very unique flavor profile. Oriental spices in the flavor notes! Never had anything like it before.Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiggyPiggy, that question was just a general question, not directed at anyone, as the Dutch regional Diplo are my fav size and are still at a reasonable prize. I bought it and enjoy it but was wondering what the consensus is on that cigar Diplomaticos Embajador RE. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piggy @PigFish Ray, I keep meaning to send you a good RE sampler, because i) I know you're hankering to try these fat, 54 RG Short Robustos like I am ii) Much to my Chagrin, a few of them actually taste good. (Still doesn't mean I'm buying them up) iii) I'm honestly curious at your take on the taste of a few of them, to see if they jive with my thoughts (As I know your thoughts on the size already pretty much mirrors mine) I'll Include one of the Diplomaticos RE's in question in that fiver. I need to confirm your address though (been too long since I sent you something!) -PM Inbound! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, from what I can recall, that cigar had a rather pronounced citrus flavor (from what I can remember) and I enjoyed that cigar... I think all cigars represent a gamble on quality, meaning a good to great smoking experience. There is no need then to pay double or triple for untested cigars, believing that overall they are no better than what I am buying and smoking currently. To each his own... Friends like you keep me a little in the loop! Well, a little more than I would myself! Thanks mate. -Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave001 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 if they ever decide to make an LE/RE under 40 RG im in ( I know I know wishful thinking) but hey.. you never know styles always go in and out of fashion (im more of the out of fashion myself) so hopefully one day the small RG makes a "big" return 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
