CigarZen Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 First, they are great cigars. Do you know if they had a corojo (or more like a hybrid of it) for the wrapper leaf. Seems like that thin wrapper leaf that was used back when it was more available.
El Presidente Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Issue was 2002 from memory. I believe they used the same wrapper as reserved for Cohiba. I will attemptto get a definitive answer at the PCC meeting Wednesday.
Curmudgeon Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Those were nice, thin, flexible wrappers that burn very nicely. FWIW, some of mine have wrappers that are quite green--moreso than I've seen on Cohibas.
Elric Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 They are smoking wonderfully...now if they would only make more...
El Presidente Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 The finest of the Tang Monarchs were the light tan Colorado wrappers. They were exactly like the best of the Cohiba Esplendido wrappers. I have seen darker and I have seen some abberations bit inthe main the colorado shade persisted. Interestingly, I have never heard of someone who has been disappointed in smoking one.
Echeck Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 If I could only find a place to mooch one, they sound nice...
CigarZen Posted September 10, 2005 Author Posted September 10, 2005 El Prez -- after you have had a chance to get get your feet back on the ground, a drink in your hand and a good havana in your mouth -- I was wondering if you heard anything. TIA.
DocRKS Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 » If I could only find a place to mooch one, they sound nice... This word -"Mooch" --this is an ugly word..... Now the word "Trade" --that is a much nicer way to satisfy one's quest...... PM if interested..
Jimmy2 Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 What's the difference between Tang Monarchs and Monarchs ?

shrink Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 What's the difference between Tang Monarchs and Monarchs ? David Tang is the chairman of Pacific Cigar, the licensed distributor for habanos covering Asia and Canada. in the early 2000's he commissioned the production of some special runs of Upmanns - No.2, Corona, and Monarch - to be made with special bands and SLB presentations. Though opinions vary, most aficionados regard these commissioned cigars as richer and tastier than the regular production versions.

El Presidente Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I asked the question but the answer was confusing. The wrapper was to be a specific colorado shade (no reference to Cohiba). Once again while in the main the wrappers were Colorado, I saw some diversity.
