Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I don't think they're anything close to being the same blend. For me the EoTS is more like the usual Don Carlos blend. The PR seems to use far better tobacco, for my tastes. I found the EoTS to be a novelty, and the PR to be a truly memorable cigar. Other than the release dates and the black bands, I don't think they have much in common at all. But that's just speculation having smoked them both, and not based on anything concrete the Fuentes have said about the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do too find them to be quite different. And much prefer the personal reserve robusto. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Danimalia Posted November 10, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2017 Still an unashamed fan of Nicaraguan cigars. I don't have a pic, but I got a GREAT deal on some Oliva Cain F 550s. I slept on Cain for years because "All Ligero" didn't appeal to me, nor did the packaging. I was mistaken. They're quite good. I should have known. Oliva always delivers. Today, the mailman dropped off a box of these I got in an auction. AJ Fernandez Bellas Artes Toros. I had a couple at the local B&M, and in addition to being some of the best looking cigars I've ever seen, I thought they were delicious. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the mean time the best NC I have smoked is the La Mission 1959 by L'atelier. It was full of great flavors, anise, leather, spice, cream.... Hell yeah. I love La Mission. They're so much better than most of the other Mexican-wrapped cigars I've had the past few years. They're strong, but sophisticated. I have a box of the 1989 vitola (same size as the BHK 54) in my cooler right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post prodigy Posted November 26, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2017 Staying with some friends in Knoxville Tennessee. Found a gem of a brick and mortar store, with a selection unlike any I've ever seen. Buy 3 get one free, all cigars, this weekend. Haven't tried any of these yet, so I'm pretty excited to say the least. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeman Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Wunderlust cigars. Really nice heavy bodied yet still sharp maduro made for the German market. A good choice for people who like most of the NC cigars many like here already like Tatuaje and Liga Privada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a few quick notes: These are great looking cigars, and obviously well-rolled. There's a really unusual heft to them in the hand, owing to the flared shape toward the foot. The wrapper is delicate and splits easily, but the solid construction overcomes it. Right from the start, there's a powerful, heavy coffee bean bean flavor. The aroma is straightforward char and black pepper. The first third is pretty one-dimensional. Full-bodied and a little rough. The second third really begins to sing. The coffee bean flavor rounds out some bitter cocoa and raw leather notes emerge. There's a sugar sweetness to the finish. The aroma doesn't evolve. The final third becomes a little one-dimensional again. The sweetness evolves into a BBQ kind of flavor, and the leather and cocoa disappear. It remains fairly well-balanced, but a little uninspired toward the end. All in all, I find that it has elements of the Caldwell Last Tsar (leather, cocoa) and Viaje Friends and Family (heavy BBQ sweetness), without necessarily being better than either of those. I'm glad I tried it, but I won't be hunting down any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
