BolivarSmoker Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 I have been smoking A bunch of petit coronas recently and wanted some of you guys to chime in on what is currently your favorite from recent production (07, 08, maybe even 09). What do you guys like?

What do you guys like? Great Dip 4's and Punch Petit Corona's are hard to beat from this period. Good value for money and intense marque flavours. There really isn't a bad petit corona. Still, variation box to box is a hazard so always insist your vendor select the box/make recommendations from the stock at hand.

jquest63 Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 That's tough to keep to one, as PC's are faves, so here's a few: Por Larranaga, Bolivar, Juan Lopez and Diplos. With 3 yrs age plus, RG's.
Evo03 Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I've got some great Partagas Petit Coronas Especiales from 07 and 08.
Tampa1257 Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I like the Trinidad Reyes. Samb, the Trinidad Reyes is a Reyes, basically a Half Corona, which means that it is no where near a Petit Corona. Recent Petit Coronas that I have enjoyed from the 07/08 period have been: Diplimaticos No.4 Por Larranaga Petit Corona Bolivar Petit Corona The Montecristo No.4's have been hit or miss for me from this period thus far.
BolivarSmoker Posted November 3, 2009 Author Posted November 3, 2009 Good imput fellas. Dip 4 is a favorite of mine too.
PigFish Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 There really isn't a bad petit corona.

I have always got no less than 4 PC choices in open boxes but I cut in a lot of sub-PC's as well. Currently PLPC (different years), SLR PC, Upmann PC's, Punch RS12 and Monte 4's. PLPC's are still my faves.
samb Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Samb, the Trinidad Reyes is a Reyes, basically a Half Corona, which means that it is no where near a Petit Corona. But it is petit, lol. Im still new to the habano, lol . I forgot about the half corona .Recent Petit Coronas that I have enjoyed from the 07/08 period have been: Diplimaticos No.4 Por Larranaga Petit Corona Bolivar Petit Corona The Montecristo No.4's have been hit or miss for me from this period thus far. Then in that case, from my limited experience in the subject matter, I like the Monte 4s.
Bahnofstrasse Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 PLPC...also have a nice box of Monte 4's from 08 that are tasty.
el.barbudo Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I've got some DIC06 (almost 07...) Sig II TA that are great, but I usually go for the PLPCs from ABR07, or BoliPC MAY07 because of the value.
neal875 Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 ...what he said!I have always got no less than 4 PC choices in open boxes but I cut in a lot of sub-PC's as well. Currently PLPC (different years), SLR PC, Upmann PC's, Punch RS12 and Monte 4's. PLPC's are still my faves. Amen to the Punch RS 12, by far the most consistent and flat out delicious in my opinion. I love Bolivar PCs but they are unbelievably inconsistent and after enough cabs that are 'off', it can wear you out. Great when they are right, however. But lots of age required. PLPCs are amazing when they're 'on' but they need serious aging to get their full potential. Okay when young---If you can wait, however, they'll really surprise you pleasantly. I really miss the Partagas PC in 50 cabs. It is the only discontinued one in this size that I believe deserved to survive.
jfury76 Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I am enjoying my most recent purchase of a Punch RS12 cab from NOV 08. Very tasty notes of stewed fruits, leather, and easy spices after the midpoint.
thechenman Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 PLPC...hands down my favorite from this time period. Best with at least a year of age.
TrickNick Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 If your willing to let them age, I'd vote Boli PC as well. I have laid mine down to rest and think they will be beautiful 5 years down the road.

bassman Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 07 & 08 Dip #4s have been very nice, but MAR 09 Boli PCs are the best I've had recently. Can't comment on PLPC or PC del Punch as I am smoking 05s & 02s respectively. Those are very good too. Also liking 98 SLR PCs.
sepp Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 MC # 4s and PLPCs. While one 08 box of the MC #4s was a dissapointment this year I have three others that are stellar. The PLPCs speak for themselves when you try one that is on and they have been on!
