SMELTZ Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 My favorite cigar as well. I have one box left TLE DIC 20, untouched ageing. I put it over all the DC and Churchill's. Can't wait for them to come up on 24:24. Min. 2 years to see them blossom in MHO. Interested to see what the rest of the FOH Family thinks of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDGSN Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Wish I could have a never ending supply. I get a lot of RC Cola from these. Class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frinkiac7 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I totally get it! I bid farewell to a 2011 box on BR a few months ago and have been wondering how they are smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryNY Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Hmmm....I'm considering putting a box of BRS JUN13 up on BR for you guys to score one. Doctor says smoke fewer smaller vitolas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Process Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Never had one! Watching, waiting, and praying I get lucky if they show up on 24:24! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Diggamus Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I get it! I have only tried a couple of these over the years and I definitely enjoyed them. One thing I experienced that I heard others note is that this cigar has elements of several other H. Upmann cigars in one place. I LOVE the Mag 46 for its pepper, wood, and spice notes, as well as the Half Corona for its shortbread and sweet cream notes. My experience with the Sir Winston was a journey that traveled through both of those profiles. I only have a couple from '19 left and want to give them a few more years before I put flame to them.

Popular Post gustavehenne Posted May 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2022 I love the Sir Winston, what a cigar! The last one I had was at the Bond Roberts one year anniversary in London. @El Presidente laid on a box of CoRo, and Rob Fox laid on a box of Sir Winston. Hopped straight into the Sir Winnie - I'm not really sure what the box code was but it smoked fantastically well .. I've not had the pleasure of smoking too many aged Sir Winnie's but from the few I've had they have smoked brilliantly and I do think they were younger examples. I'd trade virtually any box of my Cohiba collection for a box of the Sir Winnie. Amazing stick. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coug28 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 For those keeping score at home… frontrunner of deep dives and those who ‘get it’ 1. Party Lusi (just above 94%) 2. Sir Winnie (barely sub 94% and trending) 3. PSD4 (92% & change) Love me these deep dives threads. Great info/insight into the Cuban catologue. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a reason why they’re all difficult to find (in general). Yes PSD4 is readily available here at FOH and priced incredibly - but they were MIA for a while there at most online vendors. The few that were out there were priced pretty darn high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightonCorgi Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 A must have cigar that has endless aging potential. One of my favorites. Makes me miss the Monarch. Monarchs were more my price point and in the same level of greatness comparative to its cost on the SW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually prefer the flavour profile of the Sir Winston over the Esplendidos and if you took price completely out of it I would buy Sir Winnie over Esplendidos… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puros Y Vino Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Love the Sir Winston. Smoked through fiver of 1975 "green box" singles. 100 pointers. Same goes with a handful of 2009's. Recently smoked a 2012 one and it was fantastic. Would go deep on these in a second. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the years I always stocked up when they popped up. I probably have 10 boxes I am smoking from 2003 onward and another 10 -15 boxes I haven't even touched yet. That was always the one cigar above all others I wanted to make sure I always have enough of! I’ve had (almost) everything. If I could only smoke one cigar for the rest of my life, it would be Sir Winston. I’m also deeper on these than anything else and it’s the only thing you couldn’t convince me to sell any of. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly the best-blended cigar in the Habanos portfolio. Gives you a little bit of everything and takes you on a journey. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypots Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I like everything about the SW. And, I like a Julieta #2 almost as much as a Corona Gorda. Definitely a special occasion smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightsAnole Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 One of the most iconic, of the great cigars in the Cuban portfolio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
