asmith Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Did a cigar review yesterday with Ayala and without Ken, most enjoyable afternoon. The video will be up later in the week, but we tried the Diplimaticos No 4, and it was sensational. While Ayala is away I have tried three other Dips today and every one of them was great. It got me thinking today does Diplimaticos make a bad cigar or has anyone had a bad Dip?

hoyopr Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I have bought more boxes of Dip #3's then any other specific cigar, I also haven't had a bad #2, although the box of #5's from Nov 06 I have has had quite a few poorly rolled sticks (underfilled) and I would have to say this box was less then impressive.
tandblov Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I, for one, really like every Diplomatico I have ever tried. I always make sure that I have #2's, #4's, and #5's on hand. I like that Molasses, cinnamon, and mild bitter chocolate flavors. the kicker for me, the darker the wrapper the better. Its the only line of cigars where I specifically request it. Smithy always comes through for me.
physiognomy Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 It got me thinking today does Diplimaticos make a bad cigar or has anyone had a bad Dip? Some of the young #4s I've smoked lately have really showed their youth in the 2nd half, but the '05 #1s definitely are making my top 5 at the moment...

It was absolutely brilliant. But it was my first, so don't have a great amount of experience with them. I think you guys receive top quality batches of cigars, so most of what you smoke from Czar's is gonna be a benchmark for the brand.
mkz Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Smoked plenty of the 2´s and 4´s. NEVER had a bad one... Diplomaticos rocks!!
matt14 Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Smoked a #2 on Sunday part of an aged sampler from Lisa a couple years back `01 I think, construction and burn was flawless, taste wise didnt really grab me, it was good but not enough to take my attention away from the converstaion or the girls serving drinks!! Got bitter by the last inch and a half so ditched it. Enjoyable but not spectacular
Guest rob Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I've only ever had #2s... and I enjoyed every one of them. Having thought about it - I really don't know why I havent tried the other vitolas.
Buch0 Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I have had multiple #2's and loved them. The few examples I have tried showed hints of dark chocolate with a cedar undertone, even though they were still young.
Tampa1257 Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Had a plugged No.4 last week, I commented to myself that that cigar was the first totally plugged cigar that I have had in a couple of years. It was so tight that a gnat's ass couldn't break wind. Fortunately that has been the only cigar from the box that has not been excellent. What I enjoy from Diplomaticos is the paprica spice flavor.
bunburyist Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 enjoy the no. 2. Diplomaticos is for me a bit like VR and RA in terms of consistency. Very rarely get let down.
laficion Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Last Saterday we had a meeting with our cigar club in the city of Nimes and on the cigar memu for the evening we had a Partagas EL Serie D5, 2008, Wow, what a powerhouse of a smoke, we were all surprised by It's wonderful flavours & taste. I was starting to feel bad because I had choosen a Diplomaticos No. 2, 2008 for the end of the meal and seeing how the Partagas stole the limelight at the start of the night, I said to myself that the Diplo would not hold It's own for an after Dinner cigar. Well, It seemed as if the Gods were with me because this Diplomaticos No. 2 were just fantastic, Rich, oily, great earthy and coco tastes with dark coffee, beautiful notes of leather all in a excellent balance that left everyone in a daze, Wow, what a surprise but most of all, what a treat. Who said that this mama was a bad stick ? LOOK AGAIN ,brother, they are very close to being one of the best Habanos at the moment.
Mr. Japan Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Smoked plenty No.2 and No.5. The only bad one I had where the No.2 with a lith (almost candela) wrapper. I think that no.2 with maduro wrapper is one of the best piramides out there .
Kangaroo495 Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Bloody hell, makes me wanna smoke one. Sometimes it's hard to face the harsh reality of having to earn money before buying stuff...
thechenman Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I just recently had a pretty horrendous Dip 5 a few days ago.
bassman Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Guess it depends on your taste. I've yet to smoke a Dip #1 or #2 that was more than average. Never had the #3. LOVE the 06 & later #4s & #5s.
semery74 Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Guess it depends on your taste. I've yet to smoke a Dip #1 or #2 that was more than average. Never had the #3. LOVE the 06 & later #4s & #5s. Sorry to hear that, what drink did you pair with the Dip #2's?
hsmunoz Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Dip #4 is a staple for me Dip #2's Dic 07 very good, but a little young Dip #1 , pretty good, but this one was fresh off the boat so the others will sleep abit. all in all a very good marca for me.
bassman Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Sorry to hear that, what drink did you pair with the Dip #2's? I only drink coffee or water with cigars. Cigars & alcohol dry out my mouth too much.
Yoruba Hacker Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 No. I don't think there is such thing as a bad Dip. The 4's kill the Montes. Hell, they all kill the Montes.
jadawin Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 To be honest, Dips have never really done much for me. I cant really say what it is about them that i dont like, i just never remember being wowed by any of them...
