Loyoyo Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Best '01 Cohiba Lanceros - Elegant. '02 Ramon Allones Coronas - I'm gonna miss 'em when they're gone. '98 Partagas 898v - Extremely satisfying when they're not plugged. Worst '04 Partagas Serie D No1 - The last one I sampled had no flavor whatsoever. '00 ERDM Choix Supreme - Tasted like a cheap Dominican. '99 Cuaba Exclusivo - I just don't care for the Cuaba flavor profile. Most Potential '02 Partagas Coronas - It's hard for me to judge, but these just keep getting better and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
