El Presidente Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Regionals that you miss? The ones where you have now finsished or maybe are down to the last few in the box/cab....... and that in itself is giving you sleepless nights 😧 I don't have too many regionals whose absence instills fear to my heart. But I do have a few. My first? Bolivar Simones List yours. Add a photo if you can find one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas.Alpha Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 @Elpresidente , you obviously have had better access to (everything) cigar related, but if I had to go back I would have stocked up on the AP ERDM Tainos. I burned the one from the ‘19 Christmas sampler and only bought 1 box. Those things put an Espy to shame, IMHO. Very similar profile, cinnamon, nuts and light coffee. I will follow your advice: Do Not Open ‘til 2025... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Yes, Boli Simones were a real standout. One of the pearls of the early ERs. I would put the PL Lonsdales with it. Obviously there have been some real gems in the program. RA Phoenicio (all), Edmundo Dantes 109 & 54, Boli Especiales No. 2 & 5ta Avenida, LE Selectos Finos & Don Jose, PL Magnificos, Dip Bushido, LGC Orgullosos, Punch Clasicos, SP Eslavo. I would say those are the standouts of the program to date. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post El Presidente Posted March 8, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2022 I should have kept 50 boxes of these for myself. For lovers of fuller bodied cigars.

Chas.Alpha Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 That’s one I have yet to try. @Chibearsv sent me one that I’ll hold until Christmas’22. With my pedestrian selection, it is difficult to match his generosity. I’ve got both halves of my brain and all 800 remaining brain cells on the problem... 🤔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riderpride Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Simones initial release is by far my favorite RE. I took it's initial availability for granted. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gersonmorelli Posted March 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2022 Saint Luis Rey Pacificos - Asia Pacifico 2009. Smoked one during the weekend after a long time, and they still deliver one of the most enjoyable experiences. Thankfully (or sadly really) still have about half a cab left. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post El Presidente Posted March 8, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2022 Por Larranaga Robusto at the 5 year mark was probably the most sought after cigar in the world. It went from "bleh" to "bellisima" in what seemed overnight. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dshot Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Saint Luis Rey Inca Edición Regional Peru Smoked a few in Ecuador at the LCDH. I really liked them. It was a stand out cigar for me. Thought it wouldn't be so hard to find these from other channels. Man was I wrong. Very hard to find outside of South America. Now probably impossible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLC Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Agree on the Simones, still have some but not enough. Another Canadian regional I’m getting low on is the RA Gordito, also very good but not a Simones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do have a few. My first? Bolivar Simones I'm with you on this one. I'm down to my last 5 in my 50 cab you sold me years ago on the old LFTH. All 110-point, off the chart legend cigars. But my all-time ones i miss the most? Punch Superfinos RE Italia. Last spotted for me in Catania, Sicily back in 2011. Smoked my last a few years ago. Still haunts my dreams...it was like a brilliant Punch Petit Punch, kicked up 3 notches in flavour, richness and depth. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch Hong Kong Sir David PL Asia Pacifico 07(I know 08 they did another robusto) ERDM Kon Kiki(matter of fact any 109) The Serbia Sancho Panza one of the best I've smoked ERDM La Reina another sold stick So many But @El Presidente When can we see some new ones from you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Smokin' Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 those VR Canadian Regional were great. I only purchased a split box but the 5 Diplo Canadian Regional I smoked weren't the best. Maybe I smoked them too soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
