mwaller Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Thinking about diving into one or both of these Upmann vitolas. I see LUB codes from 14 & 15 for the No. 2 and 13 - 15 on the Royal Robusto. Are there any that I should target specifically or avoid? Thanks!

puromaniac Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Picked up a LUB Nov 14 box of Upmann 2s in November, and while I have only smoked a couple, I have been impressed by the sheen, color, construction and taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MahDooRow Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 You will also encounter many MEG factory codes for '15 and '16 production. Same factory as LUB. I've got a box of #2s with code MEG OCT 15 that is very good. Beautiful wrappers, excellent construction. They're good now, but they will age beautifully. I also have a box of RR with code MEG MAR 16. Once again, beautiful wrappers, excellent construction. These have very good aging potential, but they still taste very young.

dominattorney Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I've had four rr boxes from 15 and 16. Haven't paid attention to the codes, but have loved them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwaller Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Any reason to stay away from LUB NOV 13 for Royal Robustos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominattorney Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Not from where I'm sitting, but I'm still somewhat of a Phillistine regarding box codes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmpotocek Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I've got a LUB JUL 14 no 2 that keeps getting better. I'm trying to hold on to my last 10. I've got 6 MEG JUL/AUG 15 RR and have smoked 2 boxes, just started a 3rd and am going to sit on the remaining 3. Haven't had a bad one yet.

watches_whiskies_cigars Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I can't speak to the LUB NOV 13 code, specifically, but 2013 was generally a good year for cigars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subport Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I have UPE sep 13. I think UPE became LUB then transitioned to MEG I see no reason to chase codes just by quality checked cigars with any codes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentdaffy007 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I got H. Upmann #2 LUB MAY 15. They are the most beautiful cigars in my collection. I did not dare to smoke one yet but man are they nice to look at!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbandz Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 "Thinking about diving into one or both of these Upmann vitolas." cannot go wrong with either,or with any of this Marca. Invest in the petit coronas before they are gone. LUB has been a very good code for me as well, I would buy them again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurltim Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 LUB is an excellent box code in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things that I love most about Upmann is that you rarely ever find a poorly constructed cigar. Buy with confidence and enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see GEO as the sometimes posted code for Upmann prior to LUB, but I think this is incorrect. I believe you're correct Subport UPE is the correct code. And I once again agree with Subport here--Code chasing is a thing of the past. The only consideration I give to this anymore is Figurados rolled at La Corona (EML, TOS recently) and El Laguito rolled Cohibas. Its fun to speculate and talk about but that's about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2skinny Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 LUB and MEG have been great codes for Upmann in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCgarman Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Just smoked a UPE 13 HUPC. Tons of flavor with legs to go many years. Have 4 boxes of LUB14's marinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
