Scdalak Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Something different to try , dont hear or see too much about these out there. Curious to hear if any of you have smoked? They Smell great, perfect construction. Nice Box all around. Need to put them down a few weeks to recover from their long journey...
Daidemo Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 They look great! I was just talking today with one of German LCDH. Beside couple of boxes of Escuderos I will take Bolivar Especiales No.2 (2009) as well. Enjoy them.
Puros Y Vino Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Dog rockets Steve. Put them in the "moochidor" Bring them up to the Toronto herf. If we run out of cedar shanks to light up our cigars we'll use those.

almudawi Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 I have smoked these when they 1st came out while I was on a business trip in Berlin during October 2011. They were quite enjoyable then. The flavor profile was mainly consistent of cocoa and cream which reminded me of Montecristo, but also, had some Sancho Panaza characteristics, mainly saltiness
Puros Y Vino Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 LOL Frank, spoken like a true friend!! I take it you tried one or two?? No. I do have one aging in the humidor though.

Reviews on these have been so-so, but I like to try new stix you dont hear of too often..
Scdalak Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 No. I do have one aging in the humidor though. Oh Buddy, If i do make it to the Herf, my first order if biz will be to beat yo'ass...
Puros Y Vino Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Oh Buddy, If i do make it to the Herf, my first order if biz will be to beat yo'ass... Pffttt.. I'll just grab two RP Decades, fashion them into a cross and watch you run away screaming like a little girl.

Puros Y Vino Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Really!? Dog rockets!! No. Just pulling his leg.
Scdalak Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 No. Just pulling his leg. Don't listen to him Janet!!!!
almudawi Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Great , thanks for the input... Reviews on these have been so-so, but I like to try new stix you dont hear of too often.. Would be interested in your experience.. Like I said, I did enjoy the 3 I smoked during the trip.. However, I opted to go against buying the box because I am not a fan of big ring gauges and thought "at the time" that these would not improve a lot with age.. Keep me posted mate

Keep me posted mate Will do mate Thanks... The 10 Count box def made it more attractive for me. If it had been 25, dont think I would have purchased. It is big stick, but my Dad loves the Robusto Extra's so should these be mediocre smokes, off to Dad they go!! lol.. I hope my son is as nice to me some day!
Nino Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 I've smoked it and remember it as a very, very good cigar with potential. Creamy, savoury, salty, lots of aroma - in any case : def much, much better than the SP Quijote ER Spain which left me highly disappointed ( same vitola IIRC 49 x 194, but ER for Spain ). Enjoy !!

Great News Nino, thanks for the input.. If there was anyone out there who tried these I figured you were one! Will keep you posted! Cheers and Thanks..
canadianbeaver Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Brought home a box from Munich and they were not for me. Shared some with the Toronto FOH (that is where Frank got his) and sold half. This was however how I caught my "RE" bug and now I bring home RE's from every city I visit!

Stevieboy Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 I got a couple when they first came out. I've only smoked the one but was very impressed. I'm not a fan of SP in the slightest so was quite surprised how good it was....definitely worth raking around for some!
Lotusguy Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 I had a total of three - really liked the first one - like saltwater taffy. 2nd one was boring and bland, so was the third. Ended up not picking up the box I had reserved for me in Germany after that.

canadianbeaver Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Oh yes, I smoked one when I got home, and that is when I discovered they were not for me. Not just the SP's, but the other German RE's I had too. Something about the German profile did not float my boat. Now Spain and France... Yummm

Yummm OK Gotcha Lisa thank you..,I think the German pallet prefers stronger stix with more kick etc. This would be a good question for CLaus or Nino?? When you said "not for me" i assumed you muled the box back for someone else... Someone like..... "Frank"??
