La_Tigre Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 It’s funny how many of us had Partagas P2 (33:15) and Hoyo Epi 2 (19:8). By far more than the correct answer; it’s a conspiracy!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverstyx Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I was confident #2 was epi 2. It was as others described - completely lifeless. On #3, I was clueless but boli was one I ruled out...and I smoke a lot of boli. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieSmoke Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Seems there was a pretty big difference in the experiences here. Lots of people felt #2 was lifeless, mine was great. I would have gone PSD4 but there was more sweetness and less in the spices than I usually expect in a D4 - learned my lesson on that one. I went with a CoRo because that was the closest I could get with it, even though chances of him throwing a CoRo in there seemed slim. I don't smoke much of the PC format so I was really on a limb here. I went with the HU Regalias 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwaller Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Does anyone here have a box of MSU NOV 18 Bolivar Petit Coronas? If so, are they as good as the sticks supplied for the blind tasting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GavLew79 Posted October 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2019 That was the sweetest, least earthy, most orange peely D4 I've had. I was torn between JLo2 and CoRo. It was the least leathery, most creamy BPC I've had. I was torn between Sancho Non-Plus and Rafael Gonzales PC. Both excellent cigars but, LOL, this really is a crapshoot. As @PigFish says, just buy the vitola you like and disregard Marca and price. My palate tells me this but I insist on not listening. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatPete Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 0-3 ha ha. Can believe the Partagas D4, though I thought it was too mild to be so, but scratching my head on the BPC-didn't get any Bolivar DNA in mine; thought it was a non plus or RGPC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fitzy Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I smoke tons of H Upmann no 2, Partagas D4 and BPC. The cigars I received didn’t taste anything like those. The robusto was bland with honey and grass notes. Wtf that ain’t no D4. The PC was cream and hints of fruit certainly not a BPC. lmao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not smoked a lot of D4 (not everyone loves them, and this one didn't do anything for me either) or Upmann 2 (I guessed Dip 2 because I loved my sample, but I will be smoking more Upmann 2 if this is what they're like new!).

Azksig Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Back in it with a 2 for 2 showing this round. The PSD4 was the tough one for me but luckily got it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Got the PSD4. But the BPC? Holy cow. I guessed Siglo II! I'm still in disbelief. NO Boli DNA. Nothing. Got all lemongrass. Just under medium. Very smooth and flavorful. Only Marevas like that is the Siglo II. I could have smoked another hundred and never thought BPC. Wow. I think mine got switched by mistake... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That blind stick would be the best BPC I've ever had, due in no small part to the fact that it tasted nothing like a BPC or any other Boli for that matter! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was fairly tasteless salty driftwood. Not a fan but I put my money of sancho panza non plus. I swore it was that. It was no bolivar petit Corona. I have a range of boxes and they are all fairly consistent and taste of wet dog. I love bolivar but not the petit corona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was full of flavor. Not earthy or leathery in any way though. As I said, I had it pegged as a Siglo II. If I had thought about it I might have said BPC was the least likely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
