SLR - Double Corona\'s

[dysfunctional]

Can I et some feedback on the SLR Double Corona's ?? Thought they are discontinued......

Heard that they are hard to come by also....

What are the flavours ?

How they smoke young and when aged.

Appreciate the feedback.

They are easy to come by. Just order two boxes from the Prez this month?

I'm looking forward to trying my first.

[Ken Gargett]

absolutely sensational cigar.

worth getting a copy of MRN just to read about the story behind these.

they have only been around a short while (i remember when rob had to discount them by 50% because he couldn´t sell them - and do you think that there has ever been thanks for the poor soul who helped keep his business afloat by buying all he could).

as only around a short while, guess that we´ll have to wait and see ageing potential but i would have thought it immense. there are several other posts on the forum on these.

[Ken Gargett]

also worth noting that you never see them in cuba. i don´t think i know anyone there who has smoked one, let alone seen one.

seem to come out only once or twice a year in small quantities. get in line.

Managed to get my hands on a cab of 50.....will lock them away for at least 5 years before smoking them... trying to see if I can get one more to smoke at intervals to see how they age and progress.

I got a cab and I'm smoking mine. I hate to wait the five years that some recomend and probably with good reason. If you like the DC format you have to have the SLRDC, RAG and P Lusi. These are the top of the line big cigars for me.

[Roy R. Frush]

Guilow was referring to the special El Prez is offering. If you purchase two boxes this month, you will receive one SLR DC as a bonus.

[The Privateer]

Dude take it from me, the SLR DC is fantastic. You have to catch it at the right time though....a year can make all the difference in the world as I found out the hard way ;-)

[manny816]

I have had the pleasure of smoking a few. They were all fantastic.

I didn't enjoy these young but will be putting the cab away and see where they go to with age....

The '01's I have smoked are perhaps the finest DC's I have ever had. Very rich, subtle, and sophhisticated.

[kab55]

Never been much of a fan of the SLR's, tend to shy away from this brand.

[ironman]

Great cigar, you just need to have a few hours to smoke it;-)

[El Presidente]

Drop Lisa or I a line.

If we put the SLR DC online we would move 40 cabs in an hour. We never receive 40 cabs :-(

We rather give them to those who love them or want to try them as opposed to those who want to collect them and have room on their Credit Card ;-)

That is a great approach Rob - way to spread the wealth - cheers Mike

[caudio51]

I had one over the weekend. Fantastic cigar. Had that firm cuban draw, earthy flavors. Very enjoyable.

[Well Armed]

When did these start to show themselves on the market again? Early 2004?

I couldn't have said it better myself. I have a bout a half cab left from NOV01 and am trying to strech them out as far as I can.

[Van55]

I split a cab of the 00 (?) release with a friend. My half was plagued with plugged cigars. Very disappointing for such a big cigar to be unsmokable.

The first "re-release" I believe were Nov01, and I have never heard of anybody having plugged SLR DCs. Very unfortunate for you.

My first try of this cigar, recently, had a very tight draw.

The above are not exclusive. Generally two production runs per year.

Actually it was 10/01, they and the 11/01 are off the hook!
