Orion21 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I invested in QdO when 2006 boxes were available and again in a 2009 box. Both have been stellar with the 2006 being complex citrus, cedar and roasted espresso. The 2009 have been more earthy and lack the citrus of their older siblings, but that may come with age. I have meant to buy other's but continually fail when I have the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanislaw Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I had one in Jamaica recently... it was a very good smoke. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2 I just got a box from Dec 2012 and they are excellent. Sweet! great news! so I'll be grabbing a box of them, thank you gents!

Colt45 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Is anyone else forgotten them as have I?! Habanos S.A...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Japan Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I haven't forgotten any there just isn't much to choose from. Why they do not produce again the Partagas and Ramon Allones Corona ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallclub Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Why they do not produce again the Partagas and Ramon Allones Corona ? Because they didn't sell when they were available. In the mid 2000's, Spain even lowered the price of the Partagas corona, to get rid of all the boxes collecting dust on the shelves… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Im having a partagas corona just now. Its from 2002 and still a little rough on the edges! Nice size and flavours, but nothing that would make me buy fresh boxes to put down for 10-15 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGC Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I haven't forgotten any there just isn't much to choose from. Why they do not produce again the Partagas and Ramon Allones Corona ? As I have said over... and over... and over... and over... again... they never sold when they were in regular production. Whether or not folks will admit it, many only chase cigars that are old, rare, or discontinued. "Special" edition and fat cigars sell. That's why they keeping coming out.

ramon_cojones Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 To add to that, those of us on foh and others of similar ilk who do prefer coronas and such make up such a small portion of the consumer base that our buying habits are negligible for hsa. People love special, limited or regional editions and no matter what they decide to produce most of these varieties will sell due to marketing and people's curiosity/hunt for their white whale they will never find. The second band, the limited quanties, the bigger sizes all attract a greater percentage of the buying population so the iconic sticks that made what the marca is are long forgotten becausee they are out of sight and out of mind.

Sir Diggamus Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Monte #3 is a great stick. In fact your thread inspired me to light up a sample I have from 2012 to see how it was. Halfway though and it is mocha goodness all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
