20 Year Change of Heart

[BrightonCorgi]

Which cigars were you a fan of 20 years ago that you do not care for the current version?

Which cigars 20 years ago you did not care for, but are a fan of the current version?

Most of the cigars I was in love with 20 years ago don't exist anymore. 

I'd say I have 2: The Monte 2 and Bolivar Royal Corona. 

BRC lost something in terms of strength and character since 2005-2006 when I got into them. Maybe I need to revisit, but found what I wanted in the bbf and pc. 

Monte 2 I am not sure why completely. Partly the vitola, partly that I like others more in the vitola (unicos, psp2, h2, dip2). That and the inconsistency they have had (for me). When one is is on--holy hell I'm in it, but when they aren't...it's middling.

Where do I start...

I'd go back to the late 90s but almost everything I smoked then I don't touch now. BRC, RyJ Ex 4 were my two favorites. Many of course were simply discontinued like Punch and Partagas Coronas.

RyJ gold band Churchill in 1990s was awesome.  So was Esplendido.  I think they have both declined immensely.

Any Habanos Limited Edicion or Specialty Release. The sight of them brings on an uneasy feeling.
