El Presidente Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Call it Your best and worst cigars smoked in February 2018. You have to narrow it down to one each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danimalia Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Best: Upmann Magnum 46 (don’t have the code handy, but it was mid 17). A strong cigar, but loaded with flavor, and great construction. Top notch. Worst: Rocky Patel Edge Sumatra. I’m not trying to crap on Rocky. I enjoy some of his cigars, including most of the Edge varieties. I don’t know if I got a bad example, but this cigar just tasted funky, and I ditched it early. Honorable mention (best): RyJ Churchill (ESL Jun 17, I believe) Lopez Seleccion No. 2 (Ene 17), Fuente Rosado Sungrown Magnum R 52, LFD Cabinet Maduro.

Martin_F Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Best: Sancho Panza Belicosos, no code, single purchase. Worst: Non-Cuban Romeo y Julieta crap. Gotta get rid of that stuff too somehow Overall it was a slow month with the weather around here. Looking forward to spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrouchoMarx Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Best: A '16 SigloVI that I brought back from my trip to Havana. I try one about every 2 months, and they're just getting into their own now. Worst: a "farmie" that I picked up from my local B&M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foursite12 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Best: Trinidad Reyes BMP Jun 16 Worst: Actually, "Least Enjoyable " is more accurate. RyJ PC EAG May 15. I was in an off mood and an ordinarily reliable cigar gets sent to the lawn early and written up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David88 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Worst : H Upmann half corona (ENE 16) - I’ve had a few of these but too many have seemed to have fire proof wrappers. Best: Connie A (Nov 16 I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Best: SOM Nov 16 Cohiba Siglo III (Just in front of a ESL Jun 17 Montecristo No.1) Worst: MEL May 17 Montecristo No.2 (Not really that bad...just a little average due to its youthfulness!)

fitzy Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Best: Hoyo du Depute I think from 2014. Worst:Some crap no name second that was part of a seconds tasting test from Reddit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKeen Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Best - ORG SEP 16 Regios Worst - OMS AUG 16 HUHC (the entire box has been very poor thus far), although a Punch 48 was pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islandboy Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Best - ETP May 17 Partagas Lusitanias. Not so much because it was such a stellar example (not sure), but because it was my first. I seriously didn’t think a DC could be better than my recent HdM’s. I swear the Lusi took the best tastes from the HdM DC, Sir Winston, and an RyJ Churchill and melded them all together. Fantastic. Worst - RAE Ago 15 Punch Punch. This 50 cab has been mostly disappointing so far. I’m starting to wonder if time is going to turn things around. Just took a core sample a few weeks ago. They smell fantastic, but bitterness seems to plague each one. And several have been dismally underfilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeafLegionWW Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Best - Monte Double Edmundo EAG May 15 worst - (NC) Joya de Nicaragua Magnum 660 - flavors were sugar covered cardboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieSmoke Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Best- (NC) Padron 1964 Anniversary Natural -- Imperial Worst- (NC) Quesada Tributo Robusto -- just an average uninspired smoke -- wouldn't buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillys Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Best: Upmann Mag 48 2009 LE, don't know why but I was not expecting much, it was simply amazing. Worst: Monte Edmundo SMO Mar 12, wind tunnel, lacked the core Edmundo flavours I usually get from these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firebender Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Best: Monte 4 OLE ABR 14 PE 2014 Monte 4s have been exceptional Worst: Punch Punch OPG FEB 14 PE Just got the box from OLH. I smoked the first one on the same week, and nothing like the 2013s I had. Maybe needs to sit in my humidor for few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnmlst Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Best: Bolivar Royal Corona ETP JUL 15, just a very good BRC with excellent construction and burn. Worst: Cohiba Siglo II PTR NOV 16, not bad but not much flavor, atypical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nekhyludov Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Best: PUT MAY 07 H Upmann Monarch Worst: Viaje Zombie Farmer Bill Hatchet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akela3rd Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Best: RyJ Belicoso ASU JUL 16. Third one out of the box, had had time to settle in the humi for a month or so and was beautiful on a sunny cold Sunday afternoon..Worst : RyJ Cazadores ORG MAR 16. Not the cigar's fault. Didn't dry box it, damp evening, damn thing went fireproof then unravelled. Still enjoyable enough though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlee Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Best = PLPC no date - acquired from our host in a previous sampler. The smoke, the mood, the weather and atmosphere all came together for a fantastic experience Worst = Siglo II - EOT Feb 17 - just a big nothing all the way around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RijkdeGooier Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Best Montecristo No.2 from 2003. Just a wonderful smoke. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctic Dude Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 What a difficult determination to make. What with the brutal Canadian winters here in the "Arctic Circle" I have only had the opportunity to smoke 2 cigars in the month of February! Best: Rafael Gonzalez Perla (TUO DIC 12) Worst (but a close second): Montecristo No. 5 (AUB JUN 13) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awkwardPause Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Best was a 2016 MdO 4 I smoked a couple days back. Would be almost perfect if it just had a bit more depth. As far as worst....didn’t smoke anything bad or even close to it! But only smoked a few sticks in that time as baby duty and smoking, surprisingly, have not gone hand in hand.

Buck14 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 BAD - RnJ Churchill OBM MAY 17 - terrible contruction, tight draw, unravelling, awkward flavor, barely noticeable aroma...yuk! BEST - Por Larranaga Monte Carlos TOS FEB 17 Mild in strength but very complex flavors...a fantastic smoke. This is also the cheapest long filler Cuban I smoke cept the RG PERLAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Smokin' Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Best: HDM Epicure Especiale Worst: Cohiba Siglo III Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prodigy Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Best - Monte Double Edmundo EAG May 15 worst - (NC) Joya de Nicaragua Magnum 660 - flavors were sugar covered cardboardI have a 10 count box of secretos that were horribly bitter. It's been 7 or 8 months now and they are finally enjoyable. Underfilling may not resolve itself, but there is a chance the bitterness will go away.

Stump89 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Best- ERDM Demi Tasse olm June 15. Smoked last night and it was a home run for the 25 mins it lasted. Worst- Romeo de Luxe sum oct 15. Flameproof wrapper even after dry boxing and no complexity when it does actually burn. Almost ready to give up on the rest of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
