What discontinued Habanos line do you miss the most?

[El Presidente]

I, Like many of cigar lovers here and around the world receive the daily Bond Roberts Auction feeds. 

One that came up a few days ago was the Partagás Serie du Connaisseur No 1. 

Of all the Cuban cigars that Habanos has taken away since 2000, the Partagás Serie du Connaisseur No 1, No 2, No 3...are the ones I miss the most. 

God they were brilliant. 

Rich, decadent, fully satisfying. They aged like a dream and in their youth, they had a mongrel where the smoking resembled a midnight  bar room fight. 

Unique and mucho missed. 

What discontinued Habanos line do you miss the most?

Punch Ninfa. SLR DC.

[GP012]

In no particular order - LGC MdO No 2, Punch Ninfas & Monarcas, Partagas Charlottes & Lonsdales. 

[Lucas Buck]

Since we are talking lines it would be very close for me between the LGC MdO and Partagas SdC. Yes I know the MdO 4 is still rolled but the 1,2 & 3 are gone. I’ll give the nod to the Partagás Serie du Connaisseur. Some of my all time favorite cigars and along with the Lonsdales & Charlottes just an absolute shame they were cut. 

[Justins123]

The gutting of the Le Hoyo series was a shame. Big fan of the Partagas SdC line, but I’d take a des Dieux over any of the SdCs, for example. 

[Marco_011t556]

SLR DC, Vegas Robaina Don Alejandro.

[Ford2112]

What happened to the Punch brand is a travesty and a shame.

[riderpride]

Agree on the Parti sdc. I'd also add Punch Royal Selection to the mix. I'll always have a soft spot for the No. 11.

Cheers!

[Li Bai]

Partagas SDC, Mdo, Ninfas, Grandes de España, SLR DC and Churchill....I miss those even though I've never smoked the vast majority of them, does that even make sense??

[Darco]

Partagas SdC, Punch SS 1& 2, Punch Monarca, Bolivar Corona Extra & SLR Churchills.

Those are better than 90% of current production. It’s a shame that Habanos continues to bombard us with fat cigars while it’s so obvious that they overkilled the skinnies!

Bolivar Tubos No.1, Diplomaticos No.4, H.Upmann Petit Corona and Monarcas, Hoyo de Monterrey des Dieux and du Prince, La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'Or Nos. 1, 2 and 3 and Tainos, Partagas Serie du Connaisseur No.1, No.2 and No.3, Punch Ninfas, Saint Luis Rey Double Corona, San Cristobal de la Habana El Morro, Sancho Panza Molinos, Non Plus and Sanchos and Vegas Robaina Don Alejandro...just to name a few!

[KCCubano]

There are many but if I had to pick one it would be the BCE Cabs.

Agreed, big time.  

For pipe wish misses, the Chateau series would fun to reintroduce. How about Don Candido?.  

For single cigars, I'd like to see Habanos give another go at Cuaba Diademas, Upmann Monarchs, and Punch Monarcas.

[anacostiakat]

Funny.  When I saw this thread and before I opened it up I immediately thought of the Partagas SdC line. I have a few boxes but I have not let myself enjoy them. Heh. Might be time!

[Habanoschris]

HDM des Dieux and du Prince, Sancho Panza. 

[ElLoboLoco]

All of them, availability and price on whats left makes me sick. Lol

The real answer to the main question is Partagas Lonsdales, Punch Black Prince and Bolivar CE. Punch Super Selection as well. What the hell happened? 😭😭

[joeypots]

Too many to list but I understand the logic; why sell one band for 10$ when you can sell three for 50$?

BCE, BCG, 

That's just the Bs.

Bolivar Tubos No.1

This one hurts me. What a sweet little cigar they were.

[Havanaaddict]

Ramon Allones 8-9-8 Cabinet Selection, Ramon Allones Coronas, Ramon Allones Petit Coronas, Punch Ninfas, Punch Super Selection No.2, Diplomaticos No.5, El Rey del Mundo Grandes de Espana, El Rey del Mundo Lunch Club, La Flor de Cano Coronas, 😭

 

 

 

[Capn_Jackson]

I’m going to start with MdO 1s and 3s, although luckily I still have some of each - maybe not for long, though…

Things that I sadly DON’T have and often think about, Hoyo des Dieux and SP Molinos. Why on the green earth, why did they take away the Molinos?

Recently I got to enjoy a couple of very old Allones 8-9-8. The Cabinet Selection, not the RE. They still haunt my dreams.

[SUP8333]

LFDC Diademas or Gran Coronas, HDM Lanceros (Numero23, Laguito No.1), HDM Des Dieux, La Corona Half Coronas, Punch Ninfas, Monarcas, HU Monarcas. So many others...

Good answer. I concur. I've never personally owned a whole cab but the have had a bunch of singles from POS/TEB cabs that have been amazing. 

Also agree with many of the others here, the Le Hoyo line is missed (again the des Deiux in 50 cabs would have been amazing to still have around) and also the MdO line. Such a shame.

So all of them 🤣

Strangely I miss the RyJ and Partagas machine made perfectos. Those were decent back in the day. I also miss the Flor De Cano Coronas. Those were a great cigar around the turn of the millennium.
