Ryn165 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 As a few above mentioned: Montecristo No. 2. First 2 inches are decent, then they just become way too harsh. Also, PSD5....another harsh bomb from beginning to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puros Y Vino Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I'm going with Monte 2 and RA Extra. Tried many of the M2's from various years. The only one that was excellent was the MGR (go figure) and a recent 2012 one that a friend gifted me. Knowing my horrible track record, he fashioned me with a stick from a box that he claims was smoking great and it was very enjoyable. So I guess I did have a good one,but I've had more lacklustre ones for sure. Same goes for the RAE. Love the vitola, the retro band and box but the cigars themselves will show promise and then take it away the next time you light one up. Definitely have not had one that made me go "wow".

Boss Hog Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 BRC... Strange for me as I LOVE Boli Likewise. Truly enjoy the marca as a whole but, the BRC simply does not agree with me whatsoever. The Partagas P2 is another that I do not fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxcjs0101 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I'm sorry but this is just not true. I have smoked numerous boxes of JL1 and 2, and their wrapper had nothing "unique". Ranging from light/rosado colorado to colorado maduro, exactly like many other marcas. Seconded. I've got 4 SLB's of the #2s and they dont look any different.

rmill3r Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 CoRo again. I've had decent ones, and I keep going back due to the reputation, but none lived up to it. Though I never had an aged one which might be the problem. I'm with ya on that. But I've also never had an aged one (oldest for me was about a year and a half), and it sounds like that's the key to them. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmill3r Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Wow, what a thread! For me, Inmensos hit the gag reflex. OR even, and I got rid of my remaining '11 box(s) BRC... Strange for me as I LOVE Boli JL2 yep, they just don't do it for me, but the box I have will age and I will TRY dammit!! I love Hoyo, but the Epi2 isn't doing it for me at all either. It's all good tho, there's plenty that I love to no end! What's your all-time favorite Boli then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I love this thread, so many cigars mentioned which are some of the best cigars in my collection. Makes you wonder whether it's simply a difference in palates or whether you've just been unlucky with the examples you've smoked. Most likely both will have an effect on the enjoyment from the experience. Add to that personal puffing style. Some cigars need to be smoked carefully to be fully enjoyed. A smoker might miss on the expected flavours just by puffing too fast and often... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypots Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I'm with ya on that. But I've also never had an aged one (oldest for me was about a year and a half), and it sounds like that's the key to them. Oh well. I think the key to Cohibas is age. More so than most Cuban cigars.

Maplepie Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I think the key to Cohibas is age. More so than most Cuban cigars.Everything, of course, is a general rule. I find more so that the key to Cohiba is the El Laguito box code. MUO 14, BTO 13, etc. Sent by the Enigma on BlackBerry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleDD Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 PSD4 and BRC both are both lacking IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geaux Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Believe it or not ..... A monte #2 Oh - I believe it. It is a crazy seeegar. One of the best seeegars I ever had was a Monte2 *** & *** One of my least favorite marcas is Monte2. They seem consistently poor, and every once in a while they can blow you away.

Rye Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 What's your all-time favorite Boli then?Sadly the best and my favorites are long gone. The Boli corona was the best I've had. Current reg prod. has to be the BCG and then BPC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dowjr1 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Might be a little early in my CC career, but gonna go with the Monte 2 also. Okay but not what others describe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew11 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 For me it's the Upmann Mag 48 LE2009's and RR's. Which is strange because I really enjoyed the rest of the upmann line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigharpoon Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 PSD4 and PLPC. I want to love the PLPC so bad but the many I've had didn't offer any flavor beyond toasty tobacco to me. PSD4 is as close to a NC as a CC can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramon_cojones Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I have great presidentes all the time, d4s vary hugely and I don't smoke young rass. For me I've smoked 20 monte 2s and all have been terrible except an 08 I got from hiro which was pretty good. Then when I herfed with mitchell when he was in town he handed me one that looked exquisite and dare I say was a very good smoke. Also plpcs, have smoked various ones from 05 on up and all have been bland city. My montecarlos are far superior, in fact it's the only PL I buy.
