PurosyVino Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Greetings. It's that time of year again. CA has completed their yearly list. Time for ours. I've selected a sampling of the most recent releases, minus the special humidors. Those are too esoteric and hard to get. The poll focuses on the regular, EL, Reserva, GR and various LCDH offerings. Criteria is as follows: Please fill out the poll before it closes on Jan 2, 2020. You can select multiple choices in the poll as well. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
rckymtn22 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Sorry I can not help out as I have not tried or own any of the cigars on that list. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
SenorPerfecto Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Cohiba - Robusto 2018 - Reserva Cosecha 2014 (released 2019) This is the correct answer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I've only had two on that list so far. And I won't be marking them down. Got my hands on a Media Luna. I'll see if that changes things. Link to post Share on other sites

Trying them all is not a prerequisite though. If you had any on there and they stood out. Mark it/them down. Link to post Share on other sites
Tstew75 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Boli Soberanos for the damn win ?? I also love the Party Maduro vitolas for the coin. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
The Squiggler Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Hoyo de Monterrey - Double Corona 2019 - Gran Reserva Cosecha 2013 not because I've tried one, but because I want one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Phillys Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Not voting as I have not had any of the new releases, but 2 things jump out when looking at this list. First is the Ramon Allones No.2!!! I am all over that... Second, 50/50 on over/under 50rg in the past 2 years for LEs. Would be interesting to know how the sub 50rg LEs have done commercially, were they a success worldwide, and for FOH members. Link to post Share on other sites

Siberian Bear Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Some fancy smokes you’ve got here, I’ll stick to my Guantarameras or whachyoucallit... Link to post Share on other sites
CampDelta369 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I can’t check off any of those boxes, but I will settle for what @The Squigglerwants. HDM DC is a dragon I would like to slay... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Islandboy Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Unlike last year when I had nothing on the list, I actually have 3 on this one. Not sure if that’s a sign of my collection maturing, or just irresponsible spending on my part this past year ? Unsure of the conclusion to be drawn here, with so few experiences to go by, but I have to say Rio Seco was probably the tastiest of the 3, and certainly has the most potential for improvement with time. Now if regionals were included, which would water down the list even further, it would easily be Tainos Formosa for the win IMHO. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
alloy Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I have had two on that list. The HDM Rio Seco and the RYJ Churchill Anejados. The Rio Seco was better. Although the RYJ wasn't bad. Nutmeg and spice. Link to post Share on other sites
Doctorossi Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I don't go in for the limited edition/exclusive hooey and, frankly, the few regular production vitolas on this list just don't really inspire me. I'm still busy waiting for Linea Retro to show up. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
SenorPerfecto Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Pardon my French, but isn't the Rico Seco 56RG? That is preposterous and disqualifying IMO. Link to post Share on other sites

Habana Mike Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Voted for those I've had. None really blown away by. The Propios and Prados have a chance for greatness. Prados have chance for a longer life. Novedosos good but need more time to develop, at least based on 'early' release....look forward to try one from a box. Interested to try a few of the others though don't spring for GR anymore. Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly I think they are pretty damn close...I can't think of one descriptor I wouldn't use for both. Just for shits & giggles I'll fire up both from the same year & smoke them side by side.

I've had great Libertador and have been meaning to try a Soberano. Not sure if smoking them side by side is a smart choice though ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BoliDan Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Between Soberanos and Rio Secos. Seems about right for 24:24 availability and how fast they go. I bet Novedosos would be in the running if we've seen any of them. Link to post Share on other sites
