Ken Gargett Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 if you had to pick a single cigar that is so good now, or has been over the last 4-5 years, that it will, in time, be seen as a legend, what would it be? or are there none that fit the bill? can be the limited editions or one-offs or a standard smoke that is just so good now or a recent addition to the fold. for me, the SLR DC. as a back up, i'd be thinking the cohiba LE's, DC and/or sublimes. any thoughts?

El Presidente Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I would agree with the Saint Luis Rey Double Corona. Without upsetting your one cigar criteria...let's break it into Rough Formats. One cigar which has the potential to be a legend. Let's define Legend as a 98 + / 100 within 7 years. Large Format Cigars: SLRDC / Cohiba Sublime / Cohiba Double Corona EL Mid Format Cigars Cohiba Siglo VI / Partagas SP2 / HDM Le Hoyo De Dieux (Cabs) Small Format Cigars Trinidad Reyes / Partagas Serie De Connoisseur No 3 / Por Larranaga Petit Corona / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would add RA Gigante, Punch RS11, fundi and lancero - I think these would score 98+ 10-15 years down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cohiba007 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 02 Punch SS#2's keep getting better. The Monte Mill jar robusto is an excellent smoke that still has "bite" so I think these will be great in 5-10 years. I am hoping that the Cohiba DC EL turns into a legend as I have 2 boxes napping. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harwellplant Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 in addition to some of the ones already mentioned, the montecristo edmundo has made tremendous strides over previous examples. with such a unique vitola and blend, i think they will be spot on. also, the robainas may be prime candidates.

shrink Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 MY say is 05 Punch RS #11 Funny you should mention it. I was thinking the same thing, but decided against nominating it. I tried only one out of my FEB05 box, and decided it was so good that it deserved to be put away for a couple more years. Strong, tannic, with depth and complexity. Not sure if it'll be a 98-100, but I know it's gonna be special. Smoking from an '03 box now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
