2018/19 Under the radar cigars  smoking so well.....that you are hesitant to tell too many people 

Which is the cigar/cigars that you are holding pretty close to your chest. 

Let's get the members input and a see if we may even to do a little sampler. 

 

For me: 2019 Vegas Robaina Famosos.       HMOG they have been superb. 

[NSXCIGAR]

I'm never hesitant to tell anyone about cigars that are smoking great. Not like I can buy or smoke them all.

Famosos, La Fuerza, Double Edmundo, Connie 1 are all there. Maybe not so under-the-radar but Sir Winston is up there.

[SmokyFontaine]

I say it anywhere I can. The only CC that has knocked my socks off 90% of the time I try one is a young Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robusto. Tea, cream, baking spices. A touch of a kick that frankly, aged PR's or even young Epicure's don't hit for me. A terrific length of time smoke especially for the fall/winter. Ring gauge fits perfectly. ATE factory code has done really well by me. Hard to tell if they are under the radar, but I rave about them to whoever will listen. 

Between young HdM PR's and 3+yr PLPC's, I'm all but guaranteed to have a great cigar.

Would agree this this, they've been wonderful, in addition same old usual suspects

JL1, RGPC, PLMC        Never had one of any of these cigars that have been below 89-90, and they are often the cheapest in their respective sizes.

Who me? ? ?

Yeah, well...you've heard it before:

• UEB '18 Montecristo No.4
• LGR '18 Por Larranaga Montecarlos
• San Cristobal de la Habana La Fuerza
• Romeo y Julieta Churchills

2019 Partagas E2. Best fat cigar I've had in 2019

[Bagman]

Pres likes to bash on the Trinidad Colonials of 2018 "Valley of the Death".  But my June 2018 box is out of this world.  I usually smoke cigars with more age, but that box is just WOW.  Smoking them now.  Luckily I have other boxes to age as well.

For me, PSE2 have been fantastic young across '18 and '19 boxes.

I've only had the JL1 from your list and it certainly is a little monster of flavor

jl1, party d4, connie 1, plmc, and punch 48 to name a few off the top of my head 

[Skypilot]

100% agree on the Famosos. I only picked up a quarter box and wish it was a whole one. I burned through them quicker than anything else.

I'd add regular Edmundo as well.  Had both a light and dark wrapper box and both were stunning.

[Hoepssa]

 

RASS and BBF would  be my picks to tell friends to stock up.

I tried to find E2 rolled from el Laguito without telling them, though none of them are fan of E2 ?

just so i understand, you want people who are 'hesitant to tell too many people' about certain cigars to post about them on a forum with 20,000 cigar lovers. have i missed something? 

and their incentive is?

i didn't take logic at school but i reckon even i could have got this one right.

Ken, don't worry about it.  The thread was meant for those who do not perceive themselves as being the centre of the universe. You can move on.

charming. an innocent query has been turned into a debilitating personal attack. just for that, i am going to open something really good for our ZOOM video tomorrow. 

[Cayman17]

Partagas D4 have generally been excellent (to my taste) regardless of age in the last 2 years

Looking forward to tomorrow!

under the new legislation, that is not strictly correct. there are various 'degrees' of truth, for want of a better way to put it. but you would have far more chance than you had under the old laws.

now, if you'll excuse me, the new range of pol roger champagnes from 2012 have just turned up and also a collection from the 2016 vintage in piedmont, so i have much work to do (i thought isolation was supposed to be a time of leisure). and the postie has not even been yet!

I like this list. You have good taste. 

[Dynamo320]

AGO 19 Cohiba Medio Siglo, crushing them.  No hesitation of course.  Not great value option but mighty tasty.

[Thirds]

Have to go BBF.  In your face flavors and reliable.  
 

cant get enough Trinidad Vigia either. 

[NSXCIGAR]

I see some PSD4 mentions but I'm not sure how the best-selling cigar in the world can be "under the radar"...or the second best-selling Monte 4 (sorry @JohnS)!

Haha...all good! Maybe in reputable quality? Well, at least in reference to those UEB '18 Montecristo No.4's that I simply adore every time I have one lately! ?
