Never had a 52. How do they compare to the 54 and 50? I loved the 54!

Both @JohnS and I were of the opinion that the 52 is fuller than both the 50 and 54. For me if you take all 3 straight of the bat, the 52 is the stand out.

Yes, fuller in flavour on the palate but not more intense in strength at all, in general. That's what makes them stand out for me.

Diplomáticos Colección Privada II (Ex. España 2020)

[Ciscojohansson]

I think it was called the Valiente, from 2017. Already a lot better than the plugged Non Plus from yesterday.

[SirVantes]

‘16 Picadores. Not hitting the heights of the early ‘14 runs. But still kicking seven shades out of the Flor de las Antillas I had earlier 😄

[Greenhorn2]

Punch Punch LGB JUN 2021. The older they get, the more I like them.

Monte Esp#2 PSP SOP FEB 2020, a sixer  from our host. I would trade my Monte 2 for these.

Upmann for the tins that was gifted to me from a BOTL. Outstanding cigar, do not skip on these tins.

Don Lucas yard gar. That's all I'll say.

A 2021 lancero from the host. These will be missed.

A cool, rainy, Saturday morning smoke while everyone else is snoring. Dip 2 RAT SEP 2020. A smooth cigar, halfway through this box, and they have lost that bell pepper that was present in their youth. I feel these are cigars better off smoked on the younger side.

It's been a few years since I've had one of the Trinidad la Trovas. A GLE JUN 2021 box from El Presidente off of 24:24 for $341. I know, way overpriced. Lol. Such a smooth classy smoke, creamy with a dry finish. A lot of people seem to get coffee notes, but this cigar was more of a tea with nuts and graham cracker. Maybe pairing it with EH Taylor had something to do with it.

I've found the 50 more flavorful than the 52, but haven't had a 54.

Truly to each their own in QdO, but Coronas for the win.

I've yet to try the Corona 😅

I've had very bland 52s from the early batches but those that came after are in my top 5 CCs.

From the last few days. AF Eye of the Shark was outstanding.

Totally agree. 54 has some creaminess, 52 richer & 50 just a 'lil bland compared to the others. Standout is the 52.

C&C time. Lusi (2016) from our gracious host.

Enjoyed this Allones Extra from 2011

Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de Rio Seco (GEL FEB22).

MOFOH Trinity. Had several Cuban robustos this week on vacation. These hold their own. Glad I picked some up before they sold out. 

Fresh Reyes, cream and coffee to close out a rainy Saturday.

[Lucas Buck]

Fresh JO! EL Ideales - very nice! These will be out of this world in a year or two. Smooth, balanced, perfect draw, super dense chewy smoke. 

[usleepicreep]

Connoisseur A with nice bit of age on it believe it came from 2017 box or 2018 can’t remember.
I am pairing it with a watermelon smoothie and what a great combo! Really knocking my socks off with this one.

Wow. Bc I rank the 54 to be a top cigar with elegance. I recall when they first came out and everyone was smoking them they called them the bhk 54. I went through a 10ct box of the 54s way too quickly. Gotta open a PSP 54 25ct box soon. The original release.
