KB24 Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Anyone got any good reviews or bad, both are helpful? I got a box untouched of 2005 that I am gonna break out next weekend for myself and myself only during my wedding weekend. They have been in my coolidor for about 4 months now. I got high hopes for these guys. Thanks!! -Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Twain Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 By coincidence I smoked one of these last night. I have had a few in the past as well. To me this was a very enjoyable cigar, but with an unusual taste. I got a mildly sweet, fruity, almost raisin like taste that predominated. This was unlike any other CC I have smoked. The cigar was beautifuly made, gave off a rich volume of smoke, and burned perfectly throughout. Overall I would give it 4 out of a possible 6 smoke rings. So I think that you have a real treat ahead, both with the wedding and with cracking open this box of great cigars. This cigar has a distinctive enough taste that it should be memorable and would be a real treat on a special occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2advnture Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 A "staple" in most humidors. With just a little age, they are very good with some "real" age (at least 3+ years) they are great ~Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 2005 cab and they are not mild. Medium at least. Tons of potential for greatness. They seem harsh now. In a few years I think they may be steller. Love that ERDM aroma.

xibbumbero Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 A very good Habano w/the classic Cuban twang. Not strong or mild but very enjoyable cigar. BTW,these smoke good OTT. X:-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skid11 Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 My personal favourite maybe a little mild for some but always full of flavour from tip to foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tandblov Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 A very good cigar... They tend to be fairly mild and bland when young, but with a year or so on them they begin to really develop personality. Can be a very complex smoke with interesting transitions of flavors. Time seems to really effect these. It seems as though this cigar is in a constant state of chnage as it grows older. It may not be the king of the robusto size but it certainly is a go to for many...

PorscheC4S Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 » » Patrick the body of these cigars picked up in 2005. It would now be » definately Medium...medium/full as opposed to mild. I smoked one outside yesterday, because this thread got me wondering how my last one of three would taste. The first two seemed mild, but I had smoked a different stick before each (bad idea). This afternoon smoke started off mild, but more flavorful than I remembered the first two from nearly two months ago. What tasted mild in the first third, built as I smoked and ended up reminding me of some Bolivar flavors I've enjoyed very much. I'm giving this stick some second thoughts.

CIGARHead Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 My '04 cabinet is def. not mild either. Medium bodied full flavored. Some of my all time favorites. Buy a cab of these, you wont regret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevejb Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Wasn't impressed with 04/05 samples I tried, but have a 50 cab RPO 8/01 that is beyond amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
