A cigar that...

[shortsmokes]

Just for fun, does anyone else have cigars that fit these?

Tasted like cardboard at first, but in time turned into something nice?

For me this is Por Larrañaga Montecarlos. I was so excited when these first arrived because they seem to be a hit on here and I love skinnies. Lit my first one up and it was pretty much like smoking cardboard. I waited another 6 months and tried another, and it wasn't as bad but very underwhelming. I forgot about them for a while after that then returned to it after some unknown time elapsed and they were fantastic. Every one since then has been great. I even ordered another box.

Bolivar Royal Coronas. These were phenomenal on day 1 and every single one has been better than the last. Smoked one yesterday that was probably among my top cigar experiences all time. 

You reach for almost instinctively time and time again?

Bolivar Petit Corona and Padrón Principe. I'm a sucker for short smokes and these always deliver just what I'm looking for. 

A cigar that everyone adores that has yet to deliver for you?

PSD4. I've yet to have one that even comes close to living up to the hype for me. I bought a 3 pack and each failed to deliver. I figured it had to have been a fluke so I ordered a box of 10, gave them plenty of time, and they still just fell flat for me.

Fonseca No.1. I've had some young that were bland and developed nicely later on.

Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de Rio Seco. Most definitely.

Easy. San Cristobal de La Habana El Principe

Juan Lopez Seleccion No.2. I have tried (and will continue to do so).
