havanaclub7 Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I'm a huge fan of Churchills and Double Coronas. I'm looking to get a mix of singles and possibly a box of something, if there is anything particularly outstanding at the moment. I might be leaning toward a box of RA Estupendos. Any suggestions for these two vitolas would be appreciated!
sandholm Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 For me there is three cigars in this size that stands out HdM DC, a great smoke direct or age them and they will just get better and better Montecristo A (do this one classify as a DC... or a CC) anyway just great, pure montecristo tones RYJ Churchill, the is just beautiful, that band is the most good looking band that ever been constructed (worst one... Cohiba... ) this cigar is something extra, like any of the above, smoke it now or store it, just get better with time. ... for the box, I would go for the HdM, or the RyJ, no, the HdM... as good as it gets... cheers
Colt45 Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 For churchills, I enjoy: Bolivar Coronas Gigantes H.Upmann Sir Winston LGC Tainos - for a change of pace RA Estupendos - definitely worth trying A box for me would be the BCG. I'm not a huge fan of DCs

The VR Don Alejandro is a favorite of mine for a prominente along with the SLR DC. Partagas Lusitanias are magnificent when aged. The HDM DCl is getting good reviews. Just some of the ones I like. . . There are others like the Cohiba Esplendido and RyJ Churchill you should try.
Mr.T Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Well... I got a box of H.Upmann Monarchs AT from the Czar and they look and smell amazing...I've yet to try one, but I think they will be excellent And I certainly second the RA Estupendos and BCG....lovely smokes DCs: can't go wrong with the SLR DC. I've got a cab from 05 I'm sitting on and will be for a while, but the one I had last year was very nice. Good luck!

Hugomarink Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 It's funny, you start a thread like this and basically get just about every Churchill and DC made recommended to you. Maybe the question should be, which Churchills and DCs should you stay away from? ;-) Btw, lots of great recommendations here. If you're confused by the wide variety of choices, just e-mail Rob or Lisa and ask for their recommendations. They'll steer you right.
jdbrown Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I like the Boli CG and Cohiba Esplendido..With that said I like a few years age on the Esplendido while the Bolivar are good after a year.
SmokinAl Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 I'm a fan of the HdM DC and RyJ Churchill. I actually prefer the HdM DC a little green. I think it can start to wash-out with age but I'd probably be in the minority there. It's all about taste. Cheers, Al.
Ken Gargett Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 i'm loving a box of boli gigantes from 04 at the moment. cohiba esp's almsot always excellent, though i know others have a lesser view. the partagas lusi's are a must, especially as noted above, with some age. an despite the disappointing reviews in the potential experiment, SLR DC's are a truly great cigar.
