Rogers72 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Best: VR Unicos. I think my box is from early 08. Rich cocoa and spice. Worst: H. Upmann Mag 50. I think from early 08. Bland, no smoke, 80% either way too light to draw or way too hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samb Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 On Halloween evening, I revisited and HQ ERDM CS that was bought back in Feb. This cigars was outstanding!! A sign of good things to come in future months and a sign that even a few months of age can do a cigar a world of good!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habanos2000 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 My last '08 Party 898 from a 10 ct box that was simply outstanding. Rich, full body, wonderful aroma starting at cold and even the wife commented that it smelled good when I was finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckSARTech Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 These are stone fruits (I have never seen it spelled the way you spell it and can't find a "stonefruit" anywhere in google):jujube, mango, olive, most palms (including date, coconut and oil palms), and all members of the genus Prunus: apricot, cherry, damson, nectarine, peach, and plum. I have smoked more than 200 Magnum 50's. I get a little fruitiness, I guess, now that you mention it. But, I get mostly the trademark Upmann rich, toasted tobacco. Straightforward tobacco. I think the "stonefruit" spelling is just a common combination. I get the stonefruit aspects in leaps and bounds in my Magnum 46's. And, when I think of stonefruit (a term that we don't actually really use in Canada), and what I believe Ken and Rob and others are referring to, I believe its the nectarines/peaches/plums/apricots aspects. Olive is not a "fruity" taste, IMO, even if it's termed a technical "stone fruit". My thoughts, anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeafLover Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 1) Second Charltonc's nomination for Boli PC 08's. 2) Boli CE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfire Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I would easily say the PL Asia Re (07s). It was gifted to me and half way thru I was already ordering a box. Absolutely fantastic cigar that is already aging well and shows even more potential. Taking every thing I have to keep out of the new box right now.

investandprosper Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I've been captivated by a box of HQ Bolivar Corona Juniors from TEB JUN '08. Little flavor bombs, I've had one most mornings with coffee in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redlir Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Definitely the MPE OCT 09 HQ Monte 4's I grabbed. These things are just tastey business all around. Absolutely what I remember a great monte 4 to be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechenman Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 The best cigar I smoked in October was a Punch Churchill from 1998. More receent prodcution would be a toss up between a 2008 PLPC and a 2009 Monte 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soltino Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 LGC Tainos 05. Just fantastic. Opened up with a bang, smoothed out into grassy lemon zest, ended with some more robust chocolately notes. Wish I'd bought more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
