RyviaUSA Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Just tried my first of these from this site. Pretty damn good! This could be a great summer afternoon smoke. Anyone a fan of these? Worth a purchase of a box? Anything similar but better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derboesekoenig Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Love 'em. Great winter/christmas stick for me, along with SC. Not something I normally smoke, but one of those that's good to break the variety with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspaul Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Like them good smoked early but I have found they taste good with age as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islandboy Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Smoked through a quarter box recently, really liked them as a young cigar. On the mild side, but nice flavors...on the short list to score a box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayepatz Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Currently working through a box from 2015, and they are spot on. Love the occasional flash of apple flavour. Quite distinctive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavLew79 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Love them. I have ORG 15 that I've nearly chuffed through and have another ORG 17 box waiting in the wings. Consistently good. The only thing similar but better IMO, I'm afraid, are the Serie-A, which are seemingly made of unobtainium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyviaUSA Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 Looks like a lot of comments are in agreement. Glad I'm not alone and/or the Scotch was making me misinterpret these bad boys LOL. I may have to purchase a few more singles or just go straight for a box. I love the fact they are good to go within 30-60 days. I'm not patient and hate having to lay down cubans for an eternity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarveyBoulevard Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I've had a box sitting in my humidor since 2015. Every six months or so I grab one thinking, let's give this another shot. Every single time I end up thinking, why do I keep doing this to myself? I just do not enjoy the SLR profile. Even sold off my SLRDC cabs a while back. @RyviaUSA, PM me your address, I've got something to send you 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shlomo Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 If you loved them as you said, why would you need to look for "something similar, but better"?? If you loved them as you said, then they are worth a box purchase. Why should others' opinions matter? Don't overthink cigars. If you like, you buy. If you don't like, then don't buy. Really very simple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh... because better is better... ? That seems pretty obvious to me. It would be disappointing to spend your budget on a box of something good if you could've spent it on something great, instead. That's what research is for and one of the easiest, most convenient and least expensive ways to research this subject is to ask other knowledgeable folks around here.

Meaning, $180-$200/box of 25 cigars. Very average price. It's all personal preference. Read all the reviews and if the flavors that everyone describes appeals or you think might appeal to you, go for it! This is a subjective hobby after all. Who's to say what is good vs what is great? 2018 production as a whole seems to have been pretty good across the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would advise trying at least one of anything before buying a box... but that's all the more reason to ask, "I like x cigar- does anyone else who also likes it enjoy anything similar even more?" That way, you can collect a few "comparables" to try out before investing in that box. It's one of the principal reasons that forums (fora?) like this one are a valuable resource, IMO.

Piligrim Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I've bought half of mastercase SLR regios from 2015. very good price, no ammonia, no taninnes and pretty tasty. one of the Cubans best buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookmaker Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Absolute king smoke to me, both young but even better with 5 years or more. The A’s are better though IMO. NOT everyone likes SLR though, - in my opinion the fewer the better except for The chance of discontinuation ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
