Assuming the second one I have is consistent, I will be buying more, even at the high price. I'm a big Montecristo fan, with it being my favorite marca. How was the Partagas EL? Just beginning to dip my toe into the EL and ER realm of cc's, with 4 new to me ER's set up for smoking in next months supply, so any info is always helpful. I am with you Montecristo is also my favorite brand. I like 1935 line. Pricey but tasty. The EL was a prize from FOH so i only have smoked the one but it was good. I am not a big EL/RE guy anymore. There was a time when I tried to smoke every new cigar that can out. Now i stick to brands i know i like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now i stick to brands i know i like. Nice. I'm happy to be a Montecristo fan as I haven't had one yet that I didn't really enjoy and they have a pretty good selection for lots of variety in my stock. Plus I have had very few problems with construction, tight draws, uneven burns, etc with them and most are very reasonably priced for what you are getting As for EL's and ER's, I'm just starting to try some out to See if there are any i really like to add to my favorites bookmarks for future purchases. Spent the last year trying out as many new to me cc's to increase variety of my go to smokes, as I too usually typically buy just ones I know I likeSent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kaptain Karl Posted June 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2021 GEL JUL 20 Monte 1. Dry boxed this for a few days and it’s the best Monte I’ve had in awhile. The light wrapper is bringing tons of twang, nuts and biscuit. I’m wondering if Montecristo benefits from dry boxing most of the marcas? 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first trip in 18 months and celebrating my second Pfizer-BioNTech jab 2 weeks ago. A great location, Brasserie Latem, a Michelin starred Restaurant, the owner/chef himself a cigar smoker, ca. 30 Aficionados, superb Tapas dinner, 3 cigars and I was named "Honorary Extra Muros Member" of the Club. Excellent hospitality by all, very generous and a great atmosphere. Good conversations and exchanges. Lovely evening ! Certainly not my last cigar dinner with Aroma De Cuba. Yer pic makes me want to grab a box of Connie A @Nino 🤣! I recommended Connie A to Korean FOH BOTLs and they really enjoyed that CC so much 😃. Besides, Korean FOH BOTLs told me even non smokers and huge NC Davidoff fan were also impressed with the flavour profile of Connie A and they really wanted to grab'em even more 😆. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark wrappers on HdM's seem to bring out a very different and extremely impressive flavor profile. Other than HdM I try to avoid too dark of wrappers! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the Double Edmundo to have “darker” notes than most other Montes, at least the ones I have tried. They have dark chocolate and roasted malt notes. It’s from 2015.

Haven't been able to try the Fundadores or esmareldas yet. No one sells them as singles so I will have to try through a trade or private sale Haven't tried the topes for the same reason. Wasn't impressed enough by the vigia to justify the high price for me.Do have my first Media Luna set for next month thoughSent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post smbauerllc Posted June 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2021 RyJ Belvederes Very tasty and very good burn, draw and construction. All around good smoke. '15 Partagas Aristocrats Still very flaverful after 6 years. Very tasty and great burn,draw and construction. Sadly my regular vendors no longer carry them as singles. Will have to get a box once i get my coolerdor up and running. They are pretty inexpensive. '16 Partagas Presidentes My first of these Extremely tasty. Started out a medium strength, but picked up to close to full in the second half. Excellent draw, burn and construction too Will definitely have to get more 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
