Ginseng Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I will admit to not being a supertaster. The highest praise I can give a cigar is that it has dense, pure, rich tobacco flavor. Meaty, with a touch of leather and sweetness. You can keep the honeysuckle and nutmeg. So my question to you all is this: When you feel the itch for a Habanos that delivers straight up leaf with with authority and depth, what's your choice? 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptain Karl Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 This is making me think way too hard on a Friday! I think I get the most 'tobacco' flavor off PLPC's. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfT3 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 For me, Boli PC and RA SCC with the darkest wrappers I can find usually deliver that hit. Just always end up wishing they were twice as long... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bijan Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 RASS is super strong (I've gotten that from SL Regios at a certain stage, not fresh but not aged, also Cazadores). Bolivar is leather and sweetness. Por Larranagas is tobacco. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrcpt Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Hmm.. I’ve only had one but I got a very hearty meaty taste, as well as an earthy mushroom from Punch Coronations. I also agree Bolivar PC is great for a straight tobacco taste with some leather and just a touch of sweetness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginseng Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 Never developed a taste for PLPC and I've tried. Agree on Bolivar, RASS, RASCC. My default has generally been to order a few boxes of Cazadores as a safe bet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Habana Mike Posted April 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2021 RASS have been great for me as well. Can't go wrong with Cazzies either. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcarlson Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 If you mean meaty like savory, I get that out of VR Famosos. They're sometimes described as "lush," and I think that's a good description. But it's no ribeye. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginseng Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 Ahhh, Famosos. It's been awhile since I've had one. Maybe it's time to revisit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laguitoNo1 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Maybe it’s just me but Cazadores are not very strong or harsh and the flavors are desert like to my palate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had both from the same box. Half the cigars like exhibicion no. 4 rosewater and Turkish delight the other half earth and dirt.

I will say, the cherry flavors in Cazadores are VERY very rare. Cazzies are pretty simple smokes, leather, earth, tobacco, pepper and probably the fullest bodied Cuban in regular production. In a blind tasting I would not guess they were Cuban tobacco. I smoke a lot of these, great inexpensive bang on tobacco. This is the cigar equivalent of going to see The Transformers movie in the theater. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought 5 singles from a vendor from box RUP MAR 20 and the cherry flavor was evident from the first few draws. I didn’t experience any pepper and it was pretty smooth the first 2 thirds. It didn’t start to show any strength until the last third and that was medium-full at best. They should be amazing after some rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianbeaver Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I agree @Habana Mike with Cazadores. It is the only RyJ in my humidors. As for too fiery, no Bolivars here as I find them peppery bold. 😎 CB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing you getting a box or two within the last few months right ? I just scooped a few and am itching to try one but rarely go ROTT Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I looked up the records, received these back in early February, so several months rest. It was very impressive for such a young cigar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
