asmith Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 The finest regional release that we have tasted, a cigar that has years in front of it and no midget wrestling insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rob Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I have never had an 07 Estupendo, but I do have a cab and a half of the 06's. As the fellas say, they are absolute gems and I thoroughly agree with the flavour profiles they describe in the video. I have had a couple with dodgy draw, but since I lowered my humidity to 63% I have never had an problem with them. A very elegant cigar worthy of any fine collection imo.

Ginseng Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Fab review! This cigar is, IMO, one of the top 3 cigars released in the last few years. I wish I had the money to put up more than what I have now. A genuine classic. I've also found some tight specimens but it seems to be improving with time in storage.

rckymtn22 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Sounds like a great cigar, not sure about the music. Looking forward to trying one once the weather warms up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.T Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 love the review gents....and I'm a big fan of the Blues; I love sitting back and listening to B.B. King and other blues greats. I've had a couple of these and they were very good. I can't agree more on keeping these at 65% to help with the draw. I found them to have a very unique RA profile, unlike the RAGs and the belicosos I have. Thanks again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fia Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 The ones I had were awesome. Im trying my best to keep my hands off the rest I still have. I buried them in the hopes that I will forget about them and not be so tempted to fire them up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van55 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Sounds like five smoke rings on the 1-6 smoke ring scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aavkk Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I am also fortunate enough to have a cab with no apparent draw problems. My 06 box has an overwhelming chocolatey and cocoa character that combined with the extremely thick, mouth coating smoke volume is among my most entertaining cigars I own. thanks for the review.

Colt45 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 The resurfacing of this thread prompted me to try another '06 this past weekend. This particular cigar actually had a good draw - if anything, it could have used a hair more resistance - go figure. As those that have come before it, this one showed flashes of brilliance, but settled into a kind of muddled mediocrity. The core flavors are there - toasted tobacco, notes of raisin, earth - but to my palate, still jumbled, not solidified. I know many members rate these highly, but I'm still not sure what to make of them. All the parts seem to be there - time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mm12 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I just had my first one of these (same box code, TEB OCT 07) this past weekend and got a totally different flavor profile. Started of with a sour cream flavor, then turned to a very rich cheese flavor with a bit of nuts and dried fruit around the edges. A very different profile from anything I've had before, and one of the best recent-production cigars I've smoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
