Midweek Shootout Poll: Lusi Vs Fundy

[MoeFOH]

First of the Midweek Shootout Polls where we'll randomly pit two Cuban sticks against one another to see which comes out on top. 

Read the scenario, vote in the poll, discuss below if you wish .

Savory, medium-full flavor. Lusi is the girl that took me from those low-level tramps into another realm. Smoky, sultry. She rarely if ever has let me down.

Lusi for the flavours, length of smoke, price, availability in 50 cabs and I probably prefer it just slightly over the Fundadores. I can also replace it. When my Fundies are gone they are gone forever. 

[Ford2112]

Lusi all the way. And I love the fundy, just feel the Lusitania has a bit more going on with it and offers more of a journey. Plus they have been consistent, whereas I have had some dud Trinidads.

[Chibearsv]

Fundi for me. Savory and sweet in perfect balance. Lusi isn’t for me. Tastes like the candied fruitcake that nobody wants at Christmas.

[Nevrknow]

Lusi. The 2 fundis I got were stunning. But couldn't get more when I tried and probably never will see another one at this point in history. 😂

[KavalanWhisky]

I've enjoyed both but always have more memorable experiences with a Lusi. Shame I can't afford to get more than my current box but only for special occasions now.

Partagas Lusitanias. I've enjoyed both these cigars flavour-wise over the years, with some spectacular examples, but I've had far more consistent Partagas Lusitanias, construction-wise.

I love the Fundy when it's on point, but when faced with a choice it's a Lusi for me. The combination of flavour profile and the transitions tip the scale. Moreover, Lusi is the one cigar that has never disappointed me.

[Capn_Jackson]

Lusi. Intoxicating. 

[HuffnPuffff]

Lusi was my first love.
Fundies are the neighbour’s smoking hot daughter.

Yeah I agree with most here that it Lusi would be my take. The flavors are just more up my wheelhouse and there seems to be more of a journey when smoking a Lusi. Dare I say it; Trini has never been a favorite of mine. 🤷‍♂️ Wasn't before the price increases, and certainly even less afterwards.

Enough said. I have another cigar that I’m loathe to admit I’ve never been fond of but that’s another thread.

[Puros Y Vino]

Tough call. Love both but I'll go with Fundy.

[Chucko8]

It’s like splitting hairs! But I’d take the Fundy and only by a whisker.

[Lucas Buck]

Lusi by a very thin margin, pun intended. Love my thinnies with the Fundy being one of my faves but I’ve never been blown away by one like I have by many Lusitanias and they age much better as well. 

[Fugu]

Fundy camp.

[BrightonCorgi]

Lusitania is easier to smoke. Not worried on it getting too hot or having to concentrate on flavors. Just light and enjoy. More casual cigar.

[Fuzz]

If both are at their optimum, it would have to be the Fundy.

"Lusi I'am home"😜

Ohhh, please do tell!!

[El Presidente]

Lusitania is Hamlets all time favourite cigar. 

For me, toss up but I am a Fundadores fan.

Yeah you may as well spill the beans! 🫘

[Li Bai]

For me it would be the Fundadores but it's almost a coin flip.

Lusitania. Not much of a lanceros smoker. Love Lusitania and some of the best examples of Cuban cigars I have had.
