Other cigars which had, or have this size currently, have been the Bolivar Especiales, El Rey del Mundo Grandes de Espana, Partagas Serie du Connaisseur No.1, Montecristo Especiales (on hiatus in worldwide markets since 2015) and Davidoff No.1. The Trinidad Fundadores is the same length but has a slightly larger 40 ring gauge.

Slight addition, the Vegueros Especiales No. 1 also belongs in that lineup. For what it’s worth, an unjustifiedly bashed and undervalued (and forgotten ? ) cigar.

First ever Cazadores from a LAT ABR 18 box I got a couple weeks ago. Pretty pleased with where these are at and would say good value for the on special price I paid. It’s one dimensional, but there’s a deeper rich leather component in this that I have never gotten out of other RyJs. This 86-87 smoke aligns quite well with my morning sweatpants/sweatshirt, garage vibe

You wouldn't believe it, and I'm not making this up, but I remembered that one and then forgot to include it, if you know what I mean. I appreciate the mentioning (of this cigar).

Montecristo Supremos 2019 - Edición Limitada GEM Jul 2020

The Montecristo Supremos is a 2019 Limited Edition cigar which comes in a 25-count ornate, yellow cigar box. Yes, it is yet another Montesco-sized release (i.e. 55 ring gauge x 130 mm or 5⅛ inches in length), but does it live up to the reputation of recent Montecristo special releases such as the 2008 Sublimes, 2010 Grand Edmundos, 2012 Montecristo 520, 2015 80 Aniversario and 2016 Dantes?

The first half started with soft, silky chocolate and oak wood, some milk coffee and a flavour akin to bitter orange citrus spice, like what you might get in a bitter Italian chinotto soda drink. These flavours were strangely complimented by a gorgeous creamy texture. I say that because it's rare for a cigar to hold the balance between carrying a spice flavour and not having it overwhelm its softer, creamy texture but believe it or not, this cigar succeeds in doing so.

The second half saw the cigar pick up in coffee notes and the bitter spice was a little more intense too, yet it still had a core cream texture, only less so. In between, the construction was ideal with one-inch ash-lengths, cylindrical ash ridges and plenty of voluminous smoke output per draw. This cigar was rolled very well, there was no doubt about that. It took me 2 hours and 10 minutes to smoke this to the nub.

Smoking this cigar today was like a tale of two halves. The pleasing thing is that those two halves (i.e. the first half and second half of the cigar) are not disparagingly good and bad, it pleases me to say that the differences are both superbly good because this Montecristo Supremos is a cigar that balances seemingly opposing and paradoxical flavours, in my mind, in perfect balance. You aren't likely to get this in another Habanos cigar in the same way and that its what makes this Limited Edition stand out as a quality release for Habanos S.A in my view.

Time to see what these are all about

These cigars are just sensational, and the box keeps getting better. Very very rich Monte DNA, just a beautiful blend and hands down the best of the linea series. Not even close.

H Upmann No 1 . A powerhouse , very strong ?

[HabanosLuva]

Titan '19 - start reminds me of a chocolate oatmeal stout with a slightly tannic aftertaste, but has since moved to a more malted espresso bean. Not as strong as I thought.

"WFH"

couldn't resist rott. Well it arrived last Friday but I wasn't in to receive it and only made it to the post office to collect it today. 

Been wanting to try these since the release but never had quick enough fingers. Guess once the demand was saturated enough, I finally found my turn.

Short de punch. Came in the same pack (2 box deal) with the earlier qdo50. Prefer the taste profile of the qd50 over this but this is really good too.
