I am probably one of the ‘mixed’ ones. 😅

Not an overly interesting release in my book. Never gotten over a handful of singles. I found them tiring, an uninspired blend. Bringing nothing new to the table that reg-prod doesn’t provide, or doesn’t provide even better.

But may be that’s just me. I’ll be very interested to hear what you think of them, now, nearly a decade down the road. Cubans are always good for a surprise. 😁🤞

Nah. Still boring.

Montecristo Dantés EL 2016

Both the Montecristo Dantes and Romeo y Julieta Capuletos were overshadowed by the Trinidad Topes LE that year. Furthermore, its blend was completely on the other spectrum of the very popular, unofficial Limited Edition released the year previously, that is, the Montecristo 80 Aniversario (which I wish I bought more of!).

Heavy in cocoa/coffee upon release, maybe ten years rest has taken some of the edge of these?

RAE Abr 2015 Ramon Allones Specially Selected...

[LaoFan]

Just had one the other night. It was ok, but definitely didn't have what I look for in an EL. Wouldn't buy more after 1 lol.

A nice BRM MAR 25 box of El Principe.

My sister is by far my biggest supplier these days. She just came back from a seminar in Portugal with this. Those Adamastor´s smell incredibly good.

Do I love BR?

Or, do they love me?

I bought a box when they first came out. Remains the strongest Cuban cigar I’ve ever smoked - sent me completely sideways. I still have nine of them left. On my list to revisit so a nice prompt.

Hefty for sure. I'd say they need some time but 9 years seems like a lot 😅

I am right there with you! If they are even a hint better than a Regios then they will be well worth it!
