Popular Post El Presidente Posted April 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2014 I had one of those moments on Saturday. it was a JLS2. medium full bodied and so sweet you would have thought it wrapped in fairy floss. It was a 98/99 point cigar. I have had three since (same box, look identical) and albeit very good they were 92 pointers (in my opinion). I both love and hate when this happens. It is akin to a hacker hitting this magnificent Golf shot that would be a shining light for a pro.....only to chase that same experience for the next 50 games. Still....I am blessed to have spent time with that JLS2 on Saturday. One of those cigar moments I will always remember 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmatzkin Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Just hope the box I got has the same quality . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro2486 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I've had two within 4 months. I don't know what was different or why but once with a Siglo VI and once with the most perfect HdM epicure 2. Maybe atmospheric or meteorological conditions were perfect or the stars aligned, I can't say. All I can say is those two cigars were the most perfect things to smoke, beautiful flavours. Now I'm fiending for it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnhenry Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Funny that you post this Prez, I wanted to smoke a nice cigar for the holiday so I'm puffing a original release Fentue Anejo 48. Pepper and leather through the nose and the flavor Cedar and Chipolte coat my mouth between puffs. A solid 97. Happy ressurection day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottm12 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 smoked 2 JL2's today. One in front of the snoqualmie falls in washington state today. You might know it as the opening shot to the tv show "Twin Peeks". A great experience to be enjoyed with a great cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Wowsers! really lucky to have that with a regular production stick... Sadly, i've no boxes like that... all my mates seem to have had some exquisite time with select D4s, No.2s, CoRos....... But not i. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaDisco Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 The golf analogy is spot on when it comes to cigars. It's the great shots/moments that entice us into putting up with a 30 over round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headstand Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Awesome Rob! I've had that experience with wine; a brunello from 1998 comes to mind (mind blowing actually). I think you need to smoke a lot of good cigars to be able to spot the surreal moment. I'm not there yet, but am happily working my way there...

You are just of age, and should revel in what you are tasting! It will come, and it will be a current production.

Chasing the dream via LE's, RE's, and vintage is stearing you WAY off course This. I started off grabbing just LEs and then realised that that money would've been MUCH better spent on regular production. Case in point is the HdM Grand Epi LE versus the epicure 2. The LE is good but the Epi 2 is far better and much more Cuban IMHO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poisonowns Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I had a really nice JLS2 today as well. I swear it seemed like this thing burned forever. The draw and burn was flawless and flavors were on point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoyos I can make due with that. LEs have never been my cup of tea, either. Regalis was horrendous and anything past 05 is terribly overpriced. The big boys reflects this exactly: RyJ, Cohiba, MC, etc. This is probably why I don't own any LE past '11 in my humi. REs have been a different story. They let you try many more LGCS, Bolivars, ERDMs than there are. Admittingly, nothing can beat a good aged CG or Demi Tasse. But it's the variety that really gets me...

A lot if not all of the REs I've tried have done nothing but enhance my enjoyment of cigars. If only they were released as general production sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewNR Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Aah! Both great and Torture reading this post!

Hash Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I had a very similar experience with a Partagas Serie D 4 , a PSP box from the Czar, the sweetness of the cigar was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogiedude3 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I have to say that the cigar that flung me over the fence to the dark side was like this exactly! I burned my fingers trying to make that thing last. It was a VR Unicos, it was the last one from a box at a B&M so I presume it had been resting for a little while. I was forever changed, and have not yet been taken on that journey since. Hopefully one of these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
