El Presidente Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Rob, off topic, can you do a dc sampler? I couldn't post in your locked threads. Kind thanks. if you can wait 3 weeks I can do one with some quality Ramon Allones Gigantes, SLR DC, Punch DC, HDM DC, Lusitania. Please remind me RC when next in the warehouse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramon_cojones Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Sure no rush, that would be most excellent thank you. Perhaps even a "big stick" sampler with a couple churchills as well ie ryj, etc so like one of each but 6-7 sticks total or something I don't know just putting it out there. Would like to revisit these bigger cigars since summer is coming and decide on some box purchases. I'm sure others would as well since blind big box purchases are a bit apprehensive if you haven't tried. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marper331 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Too bad I picked up a box of these from oz a few weeks ago. I guess I will be passing these around at the next summer cookout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure others would as well since blind big box purchases are a bit apprehensive if you haven't tried. I seriously would consider a sampler like that too.

mk05 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Upmann rolled Montecristo piramide that underperformed? That is unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewipper Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I was surprised that you guys gave a 80's rating. I've not bothered up until now to smoke a Petit No. 2, and on the back of this review, I'll give it another year or so before I decide whether to buy a single or two Yeah, i gotta say, my experience with this cigar (I've smoked 12 or so from a couple of boxes) is not consistent with the Panel's. I think the cigar is very good from what I've tried, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the cigar is very good from what I've tried, I have a 10 box from LAR JUL 13 and after this review I checked them to see if they were undefiled. Thankfully, most are not. I will report back once I have tried one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunod Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Can't believe it, Montecristo is my favorite brand.hands down and the 2 new rollouts are a complete disaster. I tried the Double Edmundo and threw it away after 20 minutes, I guess the only good thing about the Petit # 2's is their size. You don't have to suffer for more than 30 minutes.

You don't have to suffer for more than 30 minutes. Interesting how a lot of the comments about the Petit #2 saying it was bland with really nothing good were my same experience with the Double Edmundo. I thought that was the most boring bland cigar I've had. Sad to see the Petit Edmundo seems to be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fingerburner Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Seriously? Why do Habanos S.A. bother with this crap?! PS. This is a rhetorical question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaDisco Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I thought it came off as a thorough, well reasoned and lenient review. It definitely was not pejoratively dismissive or rhetorically intolerant, unfairly or prematurely dismissive of the stature and gravitas, respect if you will, that was properly due the marca . . . But Jesus! Did you see that SHIRT!????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaDisco Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I'm happy for you to use my place as the target. Ill be sure to "share the wealth" The first time I noticed the price difference between USD and AUD on one of the posted sales, I emailed Di to ask if they were accidentally using the wrong exchange rate! She explained the unbelievable burden you guys get hit with for taxes on this stuff. Ouch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrogStar Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 AUD $501 / KG + GST for import additional tobacco taxes and GST on each and every sale thereafter. It's not awesome.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mf83 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I'm so glad I didn't buy one of these for my Christmas Day smoke. They looked fine in my local b&m though at the time but something in my head told me to stay away haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
