Carts Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Oddly enough they are actually available at the LCDH in Toronto. Quite a nice cigar. Was there on friday thanks to your tip off on the roller being there. I was very impressed with the regionals they carry
tmac77 Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Was there on friday thanks to your tip off on the roller being there. I was very impressed with the regionals they carry I was there all day on Friday. Should have introduced yourself.. 1
tmac77 Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Okay tried one of these tonight. not going to bore you with the gory details. Suffice to say that if I did not pay almost full retail for this stick I would have tossed it 10 minutes in. Bland and tasteless with a draw that was way too tight. This is the 3rd German RE that I have had from various years and all of them have been utterly disappointing. Hopefully it was just a dud and others do not have the same experience.
Maplepie Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Tom, did you smoke the SP Escudero too? Also, good thing you didn't take up the GB, then Sent from my Q10 using Tapatalk
shlomo Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 @tmac Can you pm me price that they are in TO Envoyé de mon SGH-I337M en utilisant Tapatalk No need to PM price. I am curious too.
jvel79 Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 All this talk has gotten me interested. I think its worth taking a gamble and buying a box.
ChanceSchmerr Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 I just bought a box in a stopover in Munich - highly recommend these. Have had no construction issues in the ones i've had....
tmac77 Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 @tmac Can you pm me price that they are in TO Envoyé de mon SGH-I337M en utilisant Tapatalk Silly Canadian price.
Maplepie Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 No need to PM price. I am curious too. oh lord... i shiver at the mark up Toronto BnMs puts on a band that says anything but 'Canada' on it!!
backslide Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 I was lucky enough to smoke a couple in Koln a few weeks ago, not sure that they were worth the 10euro for em though. With that said I skipped the box and only brought back 3. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

Never had a bad German release. I mean, it's just an all-star lineup: Bolivar Gold Medal VR Jubes PL Lonsdale Bolivar E#2 PL Robusto RA Belicoso
Laxman Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 The few I have had were excellent fresh. Put a few boxes away but will have to try another one this weekend. 1
DoubleDD Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 I bought a box and smoked one ROTT in April, was not impressed. I'll have to revisit them.
Maplepie Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Binder was still intact after this. After 2 days of dryboxing, this shouldn't happen. Got so squishy and moldable. Pretty much self evident that it turned to asbestos at this point Was pleasant but mild. Actually was looking forward to the final third after lighting the first. Revisit in a year.

Maplepie Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 What was the ambient humidity where you were smoking? It has happened to me many times.Oh it defo wasn't the ambient humidity. Did consider that, though. Rarely gets higher than 70 in Toronto unless it rained. Twas a glorious Spring Sun eve, I remembered it quite well as I read my copy of Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail. Sent from my Q10 using Tapatalk

Its18 degrees, 77% in T.O. right now. One of those rare days I guess.

fabes Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 You've also been drawing in smoke and heat throughout the cigar. I've noticed most cigars are not as rigid when you get near the nub. Nothing to worry about. Also two days drybox is hardly a scientific measurement.

Nothing to worry about. Oh no worries, i know that much . in fact, i get surprised when they remain rigid in the final third... Smoke, heat, water, tar, and oils being drawn through will definitely moisten it up! but this RG RE was ridiculously squishy in the end. so much that i thought it was worth a mention! any more wetter and it'd be turning green and flowering! Also, Shlomo... today was ridiculously stuffy for me. definitely felt that '77%' so much so that i took another bus because the other one wasn't air conditioned!
SofaKing Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Been toying with picking up a box or two. Anyone smoked any recently, what's your opinion on these. Thanks in advance.
shlomo Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Whatever happened to butters? Last one I had was in the summer. It was ok, a touch rough.
Nrengle Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Been toying with picking up a box or two. Anyone smoked any recently, what's your opinion on these. Thanks in advance. If you find some let me know. Checked everywhere when I was in Germany in November, nothing left. Oddly enough I found 5 in Winnipeg last trip through and grabbed them up.
Perla Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 If you find some let me know. Checked everywhere when I was in Germany in November, nothing left. Oddly enough I found 5 in Winnipeg last trip through and grabbed them up. Just had a short rush through a few shops and find some of them.
Orion21 Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 I see these available for about $17-$18 each. IS that a good price or too much?
