smbauerllc Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 Anyone had the LFdC 2018 Exclusivo Paises Bajos Robusto? I just recently bought one, but its still resting and acclimating for my typical month. Was expecting the Espana ER, but was surprised and got this one instead. Not really a lot of info on them, and I trust reviews by people here more than on dedicated cigar review sites.

NSXCIGAR Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 I got a box of these along with the Magicos last year. First few I had were very blah. Stronger than the Magicos. Tasted nothing alike. Tasted like a generic CC. Nothing bad, just no character. Tried another after a year. Huge improvement. Sweet fruity notes starting to appear. I would say rest these as long as possible. Might take 7-10 years to hit their stride. 3
smbauerllc Posted May 16, 2021 Author Posted May 16, 2021 Thanks for the info. Little sad to hear it needs so much time, but that's part of the game with cc's Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
ReturnFreeRisk Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 I really enjoy these. The value ratio is very high for my palette/wallet; after I had one I got 2 boxes. The last one I had gave me a bit of sweet woody barbecue that I really enjoyed. Thinking about that Espana ER too but I worry I may be buying another similar box Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He just listed it as LFdC ER, and I wasn't even aware of these and expected the Espana. Certainly not complaining though as I'm just starting to dip my toe into the ER and EL realm.I have some LGC Espana on the way which I have heard pretty good reviews on, but the LFdC Espana is often mentioned as being the better of the 2Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

They are good now, likely to improve with time, but thats not going to stop me. I dont find them overly complex where I’d be looking to track how they evolve over 10 yrs.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
