I bought a box when they first came out. I smoked 4 and they were cedar, bitter earth and generally yuck. I gave another 4 away but still have two left somewhere hoping that time might do something.

I’ve never been willing to spring for a Cohiba Piramides. How do they taste?

Cohiba Piramide '06 or '01? I personally prefer the '01 more - dark chocolate, soft at first, intense since 2/3. But after all, you can't complain about any of vintage EL. '01, '04, '06, '11, all are remarkable.

H Upmann Monarch Tubos. They get mentioned here a lot. Same with the Serie Du Connoiseur.

My friends and I used to smoke these quite regularly but it was early in my smoking journey. I remember they were easy smokes, had lots of loose draws, and we had to re-light often. I naturally migrated away as I found much better cigars. I will go try to find more and smoke one on the next dog walk to give you my assessment now.

I had two La Flor de Cano Magicos in 2022 that I wrote up a short review for. The first one had some construction issues, but the second one was much better.

Do you mean the regular production Cohiba Piramides Extra released in 2012 or the myriad of special release 'Piramides' prior to this, including the 2001 Limited Edition and its re-issue in 2006?

Any of them. I've never been willing to pay up for one and so it remains an elusive vitola for me. I'm partial to shaped cigars and always figured the Cohiba version has to be something special.

I have a few boxes of the 2006EL and some CPE's. Great smokes.

Reviewed the EL 2006 a while back.

Exquisite cigars all, though I favor the Partagas Charlottes over the PSDC No. 3. The Monarch Tubos rival Sir Winston with a depth of flavor and complexity that is remarkable. The SDC cigars - long and thin concentrated Partagas flavors with a bit more refinement than typical Partagas.

H.Upmann Supremas No.2 (from the Replica Antique Humidor Series, 2015). It’s a double perfecto called a Butifarra No.2 (factory name). It appears to be very rare. Anyone?

I noticed that this vitola is the only one produced by Habanos to date. I have smoked (what I presumed to be a Cuban) Butifarra farm roll once that was outstanding.

I thought I would fire one up last night, my box is a lot darker. 

From the light I and getting tons of cocoa and cinnamon. At the 2nd third the flavor have turned into a fresh bakery cookies, muffins. Starting with the last 3rd I am getting fresh strawberries. I was lucky to find this one box back when they first came out I think I payed $140. Great full flavored cigar!

Smoked one last month. Some very unique flavors. Certainly one of the best cigars I’ve had this year. 

[Nevrknow]

Guantanamera anything. As bad as I have heard? Better off rolling up a dog turd?

VR Classicos

HU Petit Corona

Cohiba Ambar (is it or isn’t it the same blend as CoRo?).

I smoked one of these today on a dog walk and in short, I can’t recommend. Maybe I’ve had a bad two boxes but all of mine were loose draws, tunneling was prevalent, and relighting often. Today’s first third was hot, left a tingling in my mouth, had some tunneling, and really only had glimpses of good flavor (for a moment I got salted popcorn but just for a moment). I wouldn’t have smoked it all the way through except I really wanted to give it a chance to recover. I’m thankful this was my last one. Couple of pictures below: 

However, I did move forward with the Espana RE with this La Gloria Cubana and it was awesome! Clouds of smoke, wonderful baked spice flavoring, excellent burn, and a great experience! I can recommend you spend your money on this!

My experience with the two boxes as well. Were they loose draws and burning really hot 🔥?

[Havanaaddict]

The La Gloria Cubana is a far better cigar! From your picture the wrapper on the La Flor De Cano Magicos, it looks like it was on the lighter side. I am a firm believer in a darker and oily wrapper delivers so much more flavor, you are correct that a lot of them do have a loser draw. But I would much rather have a looser draw then a tight one, as I can control it with a sipping type draw!

Same here.

I am too afraid to open a glass tubo and break the box up. Had the 5 pack for good decade or so and had been curious.  

Maybe this week! You put a bug in my ear.

😆 I'm scared of these. I do like JLP. Never had a Quintero or Vegueros.

They were so maybe it was me but they almost put me off Regionals entirely (fortunately the next Regional I tried was the Bushido which was fantastic).

[SUP8333]

Dunhill Atados/Havana Club/Estupendos or really any of the other Dunhills back in the day anyone? What was it's age when you smoked it, is it really that good far above and beyond or is it just unique in profile?
