Piramide Pickings: Take one

[El Presidente]

Let's see where the forum heart currently  lies. 

POLL

I am offering you to take one from the following to smoke now with myself. They are all 2022 production. 

Which are you picking. 

 

Montecristo Number 2 

Partagas Serie P Number 2 

Diplomatico Number 2 

Vegas Robaina Unicos 

H. Upmann Number 2 

 

[JohnS]

You have Diplomaticos No.2? When no-one else has? 😃  

Haha...just kidding, I took the Montecristo No.2 option because Monte 2s during the Covid-19 Era have been very, very good! 😇

[MagicalBikeRide]

Same as John for me. I’d love to have tried some Dip 2’s but not found any. I am maybe 6-7 sticks through a ‘22 box of Monte 2’s - they have all been outstanding. In time, the P2 and HU2 would become my pick, but to smoke right now, I’d grab Monte 2 without hesitation. 

[cnov]

I had to pick the Monte as it's the only one I've smoked or currently have in my collection.

Managed to snag a HQ box just before the hikes.

[MC4]

I would have voted for Sancho, but I guess that's Belicosos and not a pyramid.

[Chibearsv]

2 year old cigars, easy, with HU2, I know what I'm getting and it will be a pleasant and potentially very good smoke.  Unicos don't do it for me at all.  And the others risk being "meh" until they're a couple years older for me.

The '22 Diplo 2s I burned through were all 92 pointers and above

This hurts. Would have snapped any I came across. Love a good Dip 2.

[benfica_77]

Picked Monte 2 because I think along with the 4 should be a staple in a CC collection. Along with PSD4..  PLPC etc. as foundational cigars.

[MrFolgers]

PUT SOME RESPECT ON THE DIPLOS! STOP THE COUNT!

[Gamehawker]

No Contest which I picked without any hesitation - H. Upmann Number 2  -  but I am an H. Upmann Whore though 

[NSXCIGAR]

Assuming all are at peak performance I'd go Monte 2. 

[eaglebear29]

I went with the H. Upmann #2 as they are the top of my list and I seem to be forever on the hunt for them.

I have never tried but from the reviews here, from others, and just being a big Upmann fan.

 

Let's hunt some Orc, cough, I mean H. Upmann #2😄 

[Rymanocerous]

Diplo N. 2 all the way. 

[PuffDaddie]

Monte no. 2 for me.

[rascalmonkey]

Monte 2's the past 2-3 years have been amazing

I did too but I love Partagas P2. Upmann 2 can be hit or miss. Not as consistent as the other 2.

[greenmonster]

I reach for the Monte, aways a wonderful smoke.

[BossHogg]

Went for the Monte 2, thanks! 😊 

[Chas.Alpha]

P2. Please keep that in mind next time you’re headed to Miami! 😀

[Lt4-396]

I love them all but if forced to choose, the Diplo #2 is so unique and the poor poor last man standing for the Marca, how could you not go with a Diplo. HU#2 is a close second.

[Jackdani7401]

I picked Dip #2. HU2 and P2’s from ‘22 are not quite there yet. I don’t have experience with the others from ‘22. 

[Tunkat92]

Unicos for me! The P2’s have been good but seem to need more age, the HU2’s seem to need more age and the profile hasn’t seemed consistent, Monte 2’s have been all over the place for me but when they are on it is great. I have not had a ‘22 Dip 2 yet to say. I have 2 boxes of ‘22 Unicos are they have been firing on all cylinders.

[Li Bai]

Never had a Diplo, so I'd go with Upmann but it's a close call with Monte 2s...

[BrightonCorgi]

Vegas Robaina Unicos has been the king of the vitola for me. Split 2nd place between Upmann & Partagas.
