Popular Post smitte3 Posted May 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2020 TGIF! I'm a fan of the smaller ring gauges, but don't have anything in stock I haven't already reviewed on FOH so today is one for the hand cannons. Picked up a single at an LCDH in December, but understand these were released Nov-2016 and is a 54 x 5.875" Cold draw is sweet cedar. Love the Exclusivo Cuba band. 1st third: Sweet cedar, hay, and grass. Smooth and mellow, light-medium bodied. One of the lightest bodied Cuban's I've ever had similar to an Oliva CT. Straight forward flavors, get a bit of the twang and a tiny hint of fading spice, smoke is light-medium viscosity. 2nd third: Consistent flavors, but wish this were a bit stronger. Silky smooth finish. Final third: Same flavors, solid relaxing smoke. Score: 91/100 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 These were called Marquez. Generally well received. Nicely balanced with good SLR DNA. Under medium. Good cigar but I don't think they're worth the current secondary market prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smitte3 Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 @NSXCIGAR You're totally right, got the name mixed up with the size. Agree with your secondary market prices as well, I enjoyed seeing in my humidor more than smoking it. I had the Diplotmatico Excelencia and meh... I have the ERDM Infantes Cuba RE sitting around, not expecting too much from it as I realize RE's are hyped and a bit hit or miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERs are hit and miss, and since almost all have a significant premium one has to be very careful. For some reason the Marquez was priced rather high from the start. I think the Cuba ERs tend to inherently be a tad more expensive since they aren't exported from the island. Most of the Cuba ERs have been well received. I can't recall any opinions about the ERDM Infantes but you may be pleasantly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
