gormag38 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 PSD4 and RyJ Short Churchills have been a kinda blah for me. Given all the fan fare for the D4 this year I should probably pick up a 10er and give them another go, but I never could 'get it' with either of these sticks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Silverstix Posted February 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2022 For those of you saying D4 - I agreed with you up until last year. Try one from a good quality box from 2020/2021 - I was absolutely floored! Grab a 10-count or a 1/4 box, if you still don't like them you will have no problem trading them 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puros Y Vino Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Monte 2. Never bought a box but over the years I've grabbed a single here, a fiver there, etc. I've smoked a couple of MGR's. One legit, one fake. Both were probably the best examples of an M2 I've ever had with the legit one being better. Runner up RASS. Have had many from different boxes. The only ones that stood out are some I had from 2009(dress box) and my 50 cab of 2011's. I've had many from 2012/13/15/18. The "rest for 5 years" rule really rings true with these. RASCC typically blows RASS out of the water for me, even fresh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberleaf Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 RyJ Wide Churchill: I keep revisiting them from time to time but they've all been forgettable. Even a beautiful looking rosado example with a lovely sheen didn't impress. Magnum 54: I smoked a few on release in Cuba and found them to be bland and un-Upmann like. Again, have sampled a number since and nothing has changed my mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btort910 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 RASS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubadust Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Monty 4. Maybe Mag 46 but in that case I might just have smoked bad cigars plus that I'm not a Corona Gorda fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctorossi Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 ERDM Choix Supreme - just dishwater dull for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Sterlingworth Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 BillyH said it before, but Cohiba Maduro anything is a hard no for me. Paratagas MF. I like just about anything else partagas but this. Cuaba Divinos. I’ve never encountered one unplugged and that’s a big no go for me. Which sucks, because after a draw tool, they aren’t half bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Cigar Surgeon Posted February 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2022 Montecristo Double Edmundo. It's like all the goodness in Montecristo was extracted and replaced with a neutral cardboard flavor. Really the only Cuban I've ever smoked repeatedly that I have zero appreciation for. I even came around to ERDMs. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foursite12 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Fonseca #1--I admit to not meeting the threshold requirement here. I tried them twice from separate codes and that was enough. RG PC--Lots of people love them; I pitched every one I've tried. RASS--An odd, strange profile that I just can't get into. Mag 50--has anyone ever seen an ugly Mag 50? Me neither. I'm always seduced by their beauty but it is only skin deep. QdO 50--Another strange one; just an unpleasant flavor profile for me, unlike the Coronas and the 54. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Smokin' Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Just about everything Partagas (especially D4/D6/E2/P2) Just about everything Bolivar (well, ok everything) Everything Juan Lopez It's a very safe bet that if Prez likes it, I don't. 1 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas.Alpha Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Partagas E2, beyond a doubt. My shopkeep over in Tampa cigar says if they only made 1 cigar in the world, it should be the E2. We agree on virtually everything else cigar. I get the 5 packs for him and trade for buckets of beer. 10 hours ago, foursite12 said: QdO 50--Another strange one; just an unpleasant flavor profile for me, unlike the Coronas and the 54.

CigarsBourbon Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 The only Cubans I’ve smoked enough times to qualify for this are all stellar in my mind. but… For what it’s worth, the only RASS I ever smoked made me never want to try one again. Maybe I should give it another go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hoze Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 PSD4 for sure, also RASS. I’d also say Trinidad in general. Have smoked many good Trinidad but not super wowed. The La Trova especially, eh! Alot of people with smarter palates than mine would disagree on that! Good thing people have different tastes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riderpride Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Another for RASS. Make that RA in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habana Mike Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I think you just asked for one that's been smoked at least 3 times. After a list of most marcas and vitolas above I am surprised Cohiba hasn't come up as it does get bagged on quite a bit in regard to getting it or not. SLR rarely does it for me. Well, except those Lonsdales from the 50 cab. Occasionally a DC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coug28 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 PSD4 and RASS haters unite! Lol Lots of QDO on here too I see. Guess I’ll let my 54s rest for another 5 years and see what we have 🥸 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgoodrich Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I’m sure I’ll get grief over this, but… Cohiba Cohiba and, Cohiba I’ve tried Espys, CoRo, Sig 1, 2, and 6 many times since late 90’s. I’ve had a couple that were bitter after 1st third, but mostly just plain jane on my palette. Hard to justify the $, but I still try them from time to time. Last year bought 2 boxes on 24:24 of Sig 2, El Laguito MAR Nov20, and hope to find something special in those. 🤞 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t be, it’s only money and you can’t take it with you in the end. I wish it was “wow” to me so it could be that “special event” cigar. I’m a Monte man in the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
