Consistency Kings.

[El Presidente]

If you have to nominate one Cuban cigar as "Mr consistency",which would it be? 

The one cigar who to your mind, box to box over the years, has not changed much in blend/flavour since you lit the first one all of those years ago. 

Just one 

Once I get a list, I will put a poll up to determine the Cuban consistency king. 

[Cabinet 50]

Partagas 898. Consistent over decades, despite the blend not being exactly the same (strength).

[Wookie]

SLR Regios. They taste same to me today as in 1996. Can’t say that for Espy, Lusitania, RyJ Churchill. 

[JohnS]

San Cristobal de La Habana El Principe.

[Cabbie]

HUHC. Always a tasty treat. Always reliable.

If we're talking pure consistency then I gotta go with any Guantanamera. They've all been absolutely horrible and have tasted the exact same since I started smoking Cubans around 2011-12 😂

On a more serious note, I agree with John. El Principe have been great, even during the "off" years.

Punch DC for me...but its my favorite cigar and maybe I have just been lucky for the past 20 years...I smoke only 6-8 of them per year but to me the 2014-2020 stock seem to consistently replicate the flavors of the 2005-2010 boxes that made me love that particular cigar...

Sir Winston for sure, I have never had a bad SW.  Agree above I have never had a Punch DC let me down that I can recall.

Any Bolivar after 15 years of trying.... still tastes like crap to me!

I feel the same about RASS. Never understood the hype about this cigar. I can't believe they sell at almost 32$ each here in Canada

[SpecialK]

RASCC... always on for me.. 

[Arabian]

Quai D'Orsay No.50

[Bri Fi]

Partagas P2. Love them.

Was my favorite brand until 2000. Now I smoke virtually none. Although MSU 19 BPC are really, really good and of course the 15-16 BCG were stellar.

Yep, very consistent in that I've never liked them. Although 21-22 production has been more tolerable I still wouldn't buy any.

Indeed, it's always a top contender. RASCC also. Monte 5 is up there. QdO Coronas seems the same to me as 15-20 years ago.

Punch DC well rested,  love them. Only have 2 boxes and 1 cab left. Used to go through 2 cabs a year. Now maybe a cigar every month or so. 

[rascalmonkey]

nice thread! the one thing I have learned in 15+ yrs is don't get attached

everything that's been a favorite and/or staple, Boli PC, BCJ, BRC, BBF, RASS, RASSC, HUMag46, and even PSD4's, they all go bad at some point & you gotta find a new thing

[GotYaGoat]

A PLMC is always great. And for me at least, they're rarely plugged 

[Elgallo55]

Petit edmundo for me
