Puros Y Vino Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Dalias sounds great. Especially if you can nail down an RA898 blend. I still have a few original Czars( large Celestiales Finos vitola). Would love to see a smaller RG version of that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominattorney Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Dalia is exciting. The 47 ring gage I'd probably pass on, but I appear to be in the minority there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eLJardins Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 47x6 sounds good. Been thinking about getting some churchill size cigars and this slightly shorter length seems more approachable because of the time commitment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooseAMuffin Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Definitely like the 47 RG. Petite/skinny 109 sounds splendid. They always seem to smoke well. Maybe just make the the 109 and Dalia have a baby. Call it the FOH 109. 😁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeypots Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Anything approximating a corona gorda suits my taste just fine and I wouldn't turn my nose up at a dalias either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chibearsv Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Like @Monterey, Churchills hit the sweet spot for me. But a 6x47 sounds like a winner. I'm in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why but that extra length just pushes it outside of the realm of an "everyday" cigar That is just me but the whole brief of this Nudie/Desnudo concept is " Make everyday cigars that we love to smoke" For me, a 1 cigar a day guy, churchill is the size I wish I could smoke everyday. If only was there enough of them. I guess I would also counter than the N1 at 7.5 sold out much faster then the 6 inch N3. So perhaps others also prefer the longer size? Just a guess. Or perhaps you just had a lot more of the N3's and I'm wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pricing on the N1 vs N3 was much more favourable to the N1 than general CC pricing for a 6 inch vs 7.5 inch cigar, where that extra inch and a half would cost 50%+ more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monte Especial is 24% higher over the #2. Cola is 29% higher over the CCE. N1 over N3 was 28% Seems right in line to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Cuba island prices are closer. Not sure about current CCE and Lancero prices though but I could have sworn something like $600 vs $900 at one point. Edit: I think you're right about the CCE vs Lancero, or at least until recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed my previous post as I shouldn't have mention prices of other places here. Summary, my recent purchase of Monty Especial fell in line with the above mentioned price ranges. Rob has the Lancero for 750ish recently. Have to go by YUL as prices of late have more to do with lack of supply vs the true value of cigars. The original point I was trying to make was not about prices anyhow, just length wise, what is someones "every day cigar" If I smoked 2-3 cigars a day, it would be all 5-6 inch cigars. Because I smoke 1, 7 is more what I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Diggamus Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 A Dalia sounds fantastic! I like the 6x47 does sound interesting. I would like that instead of the full Churchill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99call Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I think an interesting factor when considering the old version of the N1 and N3 is although they have obvious similarities, the N3 seems to be pitched more as a full, bracing cigar, which the Monty Es2 and CCE are definitely not. Some really interesting points raised, on prices and length/smoking time preference etc. but I think whist the N1 provides a very classic Lancero lush/rich experience, the N3 is much more appealing to the Party 898 and R&J Cazzie crowd, than it is the Monty Es2/CCe crowd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBirdman Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 The bottom line is that finding longer format skinnies is a pain in the rear compared to shorter ones. Espy 2’s aren’t uncommon - Especials are like hen’s teeth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBird55 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I would prefer a true churchill, if it's too long for some, just put it down when you have had enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
