Uwiik Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Consistent with the general consensus here, I find that some 2022-2023 marcas has been smoking mighty fine with just slightly more than one year age on it. Some are really good I actually favor the newer boxes compared to the older boxes. Here is the list according to my own experiences. - Smoking Mighty Fine: RASS, BBF, Monte PE, Trinidad Reyes, HDM Epi2, Partagas Lusitania. RASS deserves a special mention here as I couldn't believe how fine my 2023 boxes are smoking right now, definitely rivaling some of my older boxes and I am hoarding it. - Smoking OK: Cohiba Robusto, Partagas D4, Upmann Connie B, HDM PR. - Needing more age: RyJ PR, Punch Short De Punch, PLPC, Bolivar Petit Corona, Monte Edmundo, Monte No.2. Ladies and Gentlemen, let's continue the list.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skm672 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Punch Double Corona are smoking wonderfully. Hoyo San Juan tend to have light draws. ERDM are smoking well if dark in appearance. D4 lost its character but E2 has gained alot in recent years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post El Presidente Posted May 6 Popular Post Share Posted May 6 D4 is the most consistent cigar I see coming out of Cuba today. HDM Epicure 2 are stellar. Monte 2 continues to suprise on the upside. P2 are not far behind. Punch Punch are magnificent. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt4-396 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 QDCC has been surprisingly good, fantastic even during 22'-23'. I've been through a few boxes already and they are consistent in both flavor and construction. All boxes have been from the Partagas factory. It's a shame these are rarely seen from online vendors. Punch Punch, D#4, BRC, Connie #2, RASS, Famosos, Siglo 5 have all been very good/consistent lately as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllorNothing Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I’ve had amazing D4s, RASS and RASCCs, and Reyes. D4s for me are by far my favorite go-to right now…that sourdough note is so powerful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicalBikeRide Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 My two favourite boxes from that timeframe are both Monte 2’s. Doubt age will improve them much / at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot take: P2 > Monte 2 I need a resupply as well, think I'm down to 4 or so from a 2021 box. It has been absolutely fabulous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
