maverickdrinker Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Been thinking about purchases for the year. Anywhere from fivers to full boxes, depending on price. A ranges from new marcas/vitolas to old favorites. Curious to see what others are looking to purchase in 2014 My list Old standards RASS cab Cohiba Siglo VI, lancero, Esplendido Cohiba BHK 54 Montecristo especial New to the humidor H Upmann Connasieur A (regret not picking up a box last November. Good cigar) H Upmann Connie no. 1 (maybe a fiver to start. Heard lots of good things about this cigar, need to try) Edicion Limitada 2013 punch Serie D'Oro (best of the 3 IMHO) 2014 Cohiba Robusto Supremos (I know what you are thinking.....lol) 2014 bolivar super corona New vitola Trinidad vigila (interested to try more than anything) Discontinued (if they come up) Any Ramon Allones Any ERDM 80s or early 90s Partagas 898s White whales Davidoffs Dunhill Cubatobacco 25th Anniversario What are looking to purchase in 2014?
canadianbeaver Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 If I save up my allowance, an LGC jar.
buckwylde Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I'm setting aside some nickels right now for the below order. 2 boxes of Coro 2 boxes of Diplomaticos #2 2 boxes of Bolivar Royal Corona I'm not sure what the rest of the year may bring, that's a long time. I would like a box of La Flor De Cano Grandiosos but the price tag is high and it looks like the secondary market is the only place to find these now.
LordAnubis Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I said on an australian forum that 2014 will be the year of PC for me. I have more than enough large size cigars to last me a very long time. I will buy cabs and boxes of PC/Perla sized cigars to replensih my stock as i smoke them (My favourite size as i tend to have short smoke time frames). Will purchase whatever good stock El Pres finds at the end of the day i guess.
shlomo Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 gonna keep on buying my favorites for fear they will be deleted. not gonna chase any limited cigar, but would like to try some of them. older punch and oldef bolivar are always on my list. certainly look jnto some of the more interesting res as well. 1
MadMax Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 The Bolivar Cuba/China 50 Anniversary Jar full or empty. I probaby have a better chance winning the pick 6!
shlomo Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 The Bolivar Cuba/China 50 Anniversary Jar full or empty. I probaby have a better chance winning the pick 6! havent heard of this. any details?
Phillys Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 This year will probably not be as plentyfull as 2013, as I have bought a lot. This year, I am looking to purchase mainly smaller cigars, I also have more than enough larger cigars to last me a few years, so this year the line up will look something like this: Lanceros RASCC More Mag 46 A few boxes of PLMC PLPC Any LGC that come up at the LFTW Connie A's Cab of RASS And probably more PC's/Minutos
Pedro2486 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 After my recent Cohiba Magicos experience, which I thoroughly enjoyed and after reading El Pres' tests with the siglo/genios wrappers, I'm on the hunt to try as many maduro wrapped cigars as my wallet will allow. Suggestions anyone? Have just ordered a 10 box of secretos as they do look promising. Also some Hoyo de Monterey grand epicure would be lovely. Maybe the cigar fairy will bring some for my birthday. And I've not tried anything from the Punch marca yet. Or fuente. Those diesels, I would like to sample and the short Nubs look pretty cool Anyone looking to purchase a kidney? Only one owner, low km
ag794516 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 After 2013 was a good year, and I started to stock up with basic cigars, 2014 I want to go on with larger models. I have some favorites which I want to purchase if there are good deals and I have the money. I know that not all will be possible to get but hopefully one or two boxes. One box of course for my brother. A Juan Lopez Selection No. 2. And for me: H.Upmann Magnum 50 Bolivar Coronas Gigantes Cohiba Robusto Cohiba Siglo V Cohiba Lanceros H.Upmann Sir Winston
mgravito Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 This year I want to try a Behike. I'm still building my stash and the thought of dropping 400+ on a box of 10 while there's so much standard production I've yet to try. But this year I'm finally going to do it. Also, this year, I'm buying Sir Winstons and Siglo VIs and I'm getting my hands on as many Party 898s as I can before Habanos inevitably pulls the plug.
Puros Y Vino Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Good thread. While EL's and RE's interest me I'm going to take a more conservative approach to them. Try a few, then see if I want to get a box. Otherwise, I'll continue to stock up on regular production stuff I enjoy. In no particular order: QdO Coronas. Fantastic sticks. Smoking some 11's that are excellent. Perhaps some more boxes to age. RASS. Have plenty, but would consider one more 50 CAB. Partagas 898. Given Habanos hatchet job of "long and skinnies", perhaps this is another stick I want to go deep on. RyJ Cazadores. (See above.) Montecristo Especial No 1's (ibid) LGC No 2's. (ibid) Bolivar Royal Coronas. Finally gave them a try. I like them. HdM Du Dauphines. Tasty, subtle cigars. VR Unicos. Hands down, my favourite torpedo. Dip 2's. Runner up torpedo. PSD4's. Have plenty, but wouldn't turn down a nice looking box or an aged one. Custom rolls. Whenever the opportunity arises. Some longshots. Trinidad Robusto T's. If I see them and the price is right, I'm buying. Trinidad Robusto Extras (see above) Cohiba Esplendidos. Have various fivers from different years. Wouldn't mind a box. Cohiba Lanceros. (See above). Aged stock. 8+ years. Of pretty much anything.
zmancbr Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I told myself I would buy some different stock for the humi this year. I don't normally buy belis and DCs so I would like to grab some stuff like this: Sir Winnie Rass cab La punta Vr unicos Slr DC cab Parti lusi cab Dip 2 Then of course I'd like some new items: Noelas jar Superiores Maybe some Spanish REs and a couple Asian REs that I don't have Connie A If I manage this I'd be pretty happy.
Diamondog Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 RASS 50s Sig VI CPE BHK 52/54 Monte 520 Punch EL 2013 Will be game to try any of the 2014 ELs Boli Liber Upmann Conni A PSD 4 Royal Robusto Upmann HC Customs And always on the hunt for rarities
cigcars Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 *Money permitting; more Partagas, Bolivars and Ramon Allones. Additionally Jose`L. Piedras and possibly a few Quinteros for quick smokes.
LeafLover Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Already bought what I planned to buy for the year. Probably would buy the following just to stock up on what I already have: Royal Robusto RASS cab
MadMax Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 havent heard of this. any details? I think it's from 2011 to celebrate 50 years of diplomatic relations. Comes with 25 Distinguidos (52x162). It's the only jar I would spend money on if I can find one.
ramon_cojones Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Absolutely no desire for ELs as usual, possibly a couple of ERs but definitely won't be buying secretos WIll continue to buy fantastic regular production to make sure they don't discontinue. -everything RA -10 boxes of d4 -definitely need at least a couple box 898 -multiple boxes of my staples -replenish partially smoked cohibas -sprinkling of qdo, jl and rg -more smaller cigars -nothing over 50 rg with rare exception so basically more of the same, my humi is tightly edited/curated collection of mainly ra, partagas, cohiba and upmann
Lotusguy Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I have slowed my buying way down and am now in maintenance mode - basically replacing what I smoke. Exceptions will be: - A couple of singles of the LE and RE that I haven't had a chance to try yet, if I happen to run into them (RyJ EL 2013 and LFDC APAC RE, for example) - The 2013 and 2014 German RE, if somewhat reasonably priced - Special occasion rewards to myself: LFDC UK RE box, Boli Libertador LCDH box - Any "can't miss" discontinued/aged sticks of my favorites that may pop up (Bolivar Coronas, Punch Coronas, ...) All in all I don't think I'll be buying more than ~400 cigars this year which is slighly more than what I will smoke this year. 1
Laxman Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I need to get a formula and stick to it or at least a game plan. Pretty much just buy anything that looks good. Lately have been on a crazy RE run. Loving the RA RE's though I have to say. Off top of my head: another 50 cab RASS (2013 one I have is awesome) LGC 3's would like to try and if good load up on. Epi 2's (my favorite went deep on in 2013) RA Superiors (loved so far at least 5 more) Monte 520 ( just got my first box and am impressed shooting for another 9 boxes) Monte Grand Edmundo ( these are smoking great trying to get all I can find) Cohiba 1966 (would like a box or 2) JL 2's BPC BRC Monte 2' Wish list: A few boxes of German RE's Ramon Allones PGR RA Phoencos, Gladiators, Grandes Some Boli RE's SLR pacificos a few boxes PL belicoso a few boxes JL 4's a few boxes ERDM Infantes a few boxes Quai Superiors a box
CaptainQuintero Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Por Larranaga Picadores, I'm full up on everything else now; prepared for the end of the embargo, bring it on! 2
LifeinSmoke Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 10er Monte 2's Box CoRo Box of some cc lanerco(still undecided) Box Rass( enroute) Maybe some sig IV's Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Stanislaw Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Oh fun thread! I've been going over my want list for 2014 and so far I've come up with this: Hoyo epi 2 Hoyo petit robustos Monte 4 Monte petit edmundo RyJ churchills Saint Luis Rey Regios SCdLH el principe QdO coronas Upmann coronas major LFDC grandiosos Monte 520 VR don Alejandro
Edwhatever Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 More customs And the Hupmann Conni A, couldnt find any in Cuba last trip. Gonna look out for some next time!
puromaniac Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 As many indicate, so much depends on what you have, what you are low on, and what you want to try. Mostly tried and true regulars for me: Bolivar RCs so I can resist smoking through my BBFs RASCC H Upmann Mag 48 (nice small and tasty smoke) and Connie's Hoyo Epi 2 Partagas D4 and E2s
