I concur, something about the Robusto blend I like too, and I really like the Siglo blends! Buttery! That's it. I've seen it mentioned before (a lot) but it never really clicked until now. That's the difference. The Siglo 4 doesn't seem to have the "buttery" thing. It's not exactly Hoyo cream, but it's similar. To me at least. @JohnS that's a great observation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LLC Posted January 1, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2017 First cigar of the new year was an absolutely outstanding MES SEP 11 Behike 52. Only the second one from this box and both have been memorable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a box of 2009 and two boxes of 2011........have not tried any yet (received recently)....looking forward to your same experience! Barry, let them rest at least 60 days maybe 90. The temptation to smoke early is hard to resist, I know - but the difference will be night and day. Enjoy!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post luv2fly Posted January 1, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2017 First cigar of 2017. This is from the 2015 Christmas Sampler. Figured a year in the humi was long enough. Fantastic smoke. I see why these are well liked here. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Happy New Year everyone! I decided to celebrate the first day of 2017 with the H.Upmann Magnum 56 LE from the Xmas 2016 sampler, a Brandy Alexander and my usual beverage of choice, a black espresso coffee. It's every bit as good as the last one I had in July! Nubbed it! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be easier to just set the goal to not buy more than 24 boxes the first month and figure it out from there...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly surprised me how rich and flavorful it was. Nubbed it good. Picked up a box of Monte Especial and three boxes of Monte Especial No. 2 from 2002 and newer this last month thanks to @PigFish. Waiting for them to settle into their new home over the next couple of weeks. How was the No. 1? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philc2001 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Picked up a box of Monte Especial and three boxes of Monte Especial No. 2 from 2002 and newer this last month thanks to @PigFish. Waiting for them to settle into their new home over the next couple of weeks. How was the No. 1? It actually surprised me, it was very rich, packed with flavor and a good dose of Cuban twang. I'm very pleased with the way they are smoking right now, I almost think these can't get much better.I'm a big fan of the Especiales #2 also, but I find they need about 3-4 years to get really good, but this #1 was rocking.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotusguy Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Belated New Years smoke - JL Malecon. One of the best RE ever, despite the vitola. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzArd Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Started the new year with the magnum 46. Had a good pal over and we both enjoyed almost 2 hours with those sticks. About halfway through we ended up having to move to the backyard and get a fire going because it was really cold here today. Just called it quits (at about 1030pm). Fantastic evening. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
