mychetboy Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 My Current Favorites in order H Upmann Royal Robusto Juan Lopez #2 Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure 2 Partagas D4 I have had bad luck with RASS of late but lots of lovers of this one as well.
Optic101 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 At the moment, HU RR, HDM Epi2, JL2. Even they are great, don't suggest to buy blind.
jdo2110 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 So, being that there are a few good ones to pick from, what flavor would you like to have? HDM2: caramel, chocolate, cream, wood JL2: powdered cocoa, leather, earth, coffee Coro: grass, honey, cream PSD4: spice, earth, rich dark chocolate, caramel RASS: sugary sweetness, licorice, cream, wood Just my observations 1
bogglor Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 As for what's smoking well now, the consensus is probably going to be Juan Lopez No 2 and HDM Ep. 2 -- both are great young cigars and 2013 was very very kind to them. My personal favorite "any season" robusto is the PSD4. My favorite aged robusto is the RASS.
mk05 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 2012 was the year of robustos. Buy whatever you want.
ramon_cojones Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 you pretty much can't go wrong with anything like mk said, had a 2013 choix last week that was excellent so just take your pick i've not been wowed by my epi 2 yet, only had two but the jl2 was very good
Skyfall Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Thx everyone I will buy a box of each lol.. I wish!! Just get the Sampler from our host here!
dtrott Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Bolivar RC,JL2,and RASS are my top 3.Another great smoke, which I tried only because of the high praise it was given on this blog,is the H.Upmann Connie #1.(Smoked only 2 of these so far but was very impressed.)
BatFastard Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 BRC's followed by PSD4's and JL#2's for me.
Surucipe Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 From what I have smoked recently I would say: - HDM Epi2 - Coro (but indeed benefits a lot from a bit of age) - RASS - Monte PE - PL Robusto (RE 2007) I have been a bit underwhelmed by my box of '12 PSD4. Probably the best advice would be to get El Prez' sampler as mentioned by Skyfall. 1
Lotusguy Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 As with any thread asking for recommendations, eventually every single marca is mentioned Go with what Skyfall said. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
Franko Posted February 11, 2014 Author Posted February 11, 2014 Those a box of cab 25, or dress box, and a box of 15 of carton makes a different tasted on d cigars wondering???
Smallclub Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 As with any thread asking for recommendations, eventually every single marca is mentioned Go with what Skyfall said. Exactly. You must try them all, including the Hermosos No.4 (RyJ Exhib4, SLR Regios, Upmann Connoisseur No.1, VR Famosos and Choix Suprême). And try them again 6 months/1 year later, when you have more experience, you'll be surprised.

galtline Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Epicure 2 are just dead on. Favorite cigar right now although my 2 year old d4's are just amazing. All of the robustos are excellent except Cohiba robusto. Just don't like the taste of any Cohiba. Trinidad to me is a better cigar. Another cigar that is awesome is the royal robusto.
lexvero Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 CoRo Trinidad Robusto T HdM Epi 2 Partagas D4
galtline Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 We need a nice robusto section on this site. It seems to be a very popular size cigar and there are so many great cigars to choose. Currently what I have: 1. D4 2. HDM 2 3. Juan Lopez 2 4) RAAS 5) Royal Robusto 6) RJ Wide Church Hill 7) Monte Petit Robusto ---------- 6) Waiting on Bolivar RC I was not impressed with the Cohiba and the 400 price tag seems a tad high for cigars. I like to stick around the 200 range for cigars. I would like to try a Trinidad Robusto but again the cost is just up there.
FLB03TT Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Hoyo Epi 2s are flat rockin' right now. HDM Choix Supreme are great for the $$ Upmann Mag 46, though not a Robusto but similar size are very good. CORO, which I just got my first 15 pack (paper boxed) of we're unimpressive, but hoping 1 yr. of age will get them to come around. Lot's of praise for these sticks on FOH. Perhaps the 15s are not as good as the 25s.
