Still, tobacco varietals have evolved since the lonsdales were last available. I don't know. Maybe we should just ready ourselves for another way-overpriced Petit robusto or montesco. ? If Habanos names a cigar after an existing cigar, the new release should taste similar IMO. I'd like to see an ERDM belicoso; that would be neat.

Toast & Taste Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 @Elpresidente - sell them the rights to yer nudies. Por Larranaga bands. 12's, 24's, and cabs of 52. I'll require 2% of gross sales as remuneration for this cracker idea. Big Al 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaptain Karl Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 With so many thick regular production cigars coming out, whats the point of a yet another fat RE? 898, lonsdale or a lancero will definitely stand out in with what's currently being produced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all tobacco makes a thin cigar. The more leaves in the cross section, the more diverse the cigars can be created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A thinner cigar uses less leaves, but can often be no less, if not more, complex. For me a thinner cigar almost always has a more intense delivery of flavor. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stump89 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Run with me on this one.... Culebras! Whatever marca you want, but culebras, like the Partagas. Underrated cigars, cool and functional shape, smoke alone, smoke with 2 friends, etc. Prices would probably be reasonable-ish. What's not to like?

fabes Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I propose a QdO Lonsdale. Second choice, QdO Corona Gorda. Both capitalize on the QdO hype and are vitolas I enjoy. Don’t care how many in a box, just want SBN box at a reasonable price. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A thinner cigar uses less leaves, but can often be no less, if not more, complex. For me a thinner cigar almost always has a more intense delivery of flavor. Each brand has a distinctive taste because it is tobacco from the same plantations every year. But tobacco is not only different in leaf type, each small farm (vegas) has a slightly different taste. Combining tobacco ligador corrects the mixture every year for regular cigars, because the taste of tobacco is also affected by the weather and etc, which is slightly different every year. You may note that not all brands have thin cigars in their regular portfolio. This is also due to the fact that it is difficult to create a good blend limiting the format from the existing set of leaves. Therefore, if you request a regional cigar of a thin format, it is better to do it for a brand that has a similar format in a regular one. I in principle consider not correct to set a format at the order of the regional. It's like limiting an artist to the size and theme of a painting. On the contrary, the Creator of the cigar has to offer a format for which he can choose a good mixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not positive but I would speculate that a larger RG necessitates more volado to burn properly. I will say that in the past it seems the larger RG cigars were more likely to be strong. Until 2000 cigars like BCG, Punch DC, RAG, Monte 2 and many Robustos could be much stronger than their smaller RG counterparts. The recent trend however is for larger RG cigars to be milder in general. I'm not sure if this is an intentional blend decision due to demand for milder, larger cigars or to insure proper combustion. That being said, I don't think anyone who smokes CCs regularly could argue that smaller RG cigars are any less strong or complex than many of the large RG CCs.

Generally, but perhaps more so relatively recently, does the MCC (monopoly of Cuban cigars) decide on a size first, then come up with a blend, or do they come up with a blend and then determine what they believe an appropriate ring gauge...

Lord only knows, but most likely the vitola comes first as that's the limiting factor. But I could imagine a case where they have a blend in mind that only works with a large RG. Personally, I can't recall smoking any large RG cigar recently and thinking wow, this level of complexity could only be achieved with this large RG. It's not like a Trini Vigia is twice as complex as a Reyes. At least recently, I feel larger RG just means more volado. I should take 4 El Principes and have Carlos Fernandez take them apart and make it into a Robusto Extra and see how it smokes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpm32 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Who are we kidding?—this is Asia Pacific.... The new regional should be a Punch Double Happiness: 88 ring gauge cigar in boxes of 8.
