Rate your regular production cigars of 2017 to date.

[El Presidente]

 

I was asked to rate mine but I am far more interested in your thoughts.  

Rate your regular production cigars of 2017 to date (from what you have smoked) . I accept LCDH  releases as regular production cigars. 

• Your top 5. 
• Nothing older than 2014. 

Give it some thought and have a crack

3. QDO Corona's - 2016

4. HDM Du Prince - 2016

[Projectal]

I'm fairly new to this, so take this with a grain of salt:

Bolivar Corona Gigante - 2016

Partagas SD4 - 2016

Montecristo Petite Edmundo - 2016

Cohiba Siglo lll - 2016

Vegas Robaina Don Alejandro - 2015

The interesting thing about this list is the top four share the same factory code (PUR), rolled in the same six month period. Is this coincidence?

In a very non-scientific "I think this is how I remember them" way simply because these are what my hands reach for when I open one of the cabinets:

Punch Punch 

Bolivar Tubos No1

Bolivar Tubos No3

RyJ Cazadores

Partagas D4

RASCC

Yeah, I think we should allow Camp W guys to choose 6, due to the greater volume of cigars smoked! 

Plus it's hard to split those Bolivar Tubos.

John, I was never good at counting anything other than milliseconds....!    I almost slashed the Boli's as "Bolivar Tubos 1/3", but how can you discount either in such a fashion!

This is very non scientific as I lean into alot of older cigars on a more regular basis but ones that are top of mind from recent sampling include: 

1. HU Sir Winston - ELU JUL 15: cracked this one last night and have only had one but it was extremely good even with the high hurdle for a SW. One of the best cigars I've smoked in a while. 

2. Lusitanias - PMU JUL 15: one of the very best boxes of Lusis I have and I have dozens. This one is being very slowly sampled. 

3. Cohiba Robusto - MUO MAR 14: "newest" box of Coros I have w the old band, perfect wrappers. 

4. Siglo VI - MUO JUN 15: "oldest" box of Sig VI I have w the new band. Also sick wrappers. 

5. Siglo V - RAE JUL 14: cracked this box last night as well. Great box of a cigar I can't get enough of.
