Fumadoro Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I just got a wonderful shipment in, (5) H. Upmann Mag 48s, and the Asia Pacifico Regional Release sampler(the contents and box codes are below). 1X BSB – TEB JUL 08 1 X SLR PAC – OSB AGO 09 1 X PL BEL – EMA NOV 08 1 X ERDM ANN – LAR FEB 13 1 X PL ENCANTOS – URG FEB 11 1 X RA ESP – TEB OCT 07 1 X PUNCH SAB – MCO OCT 11 1 X JL 4 – PRA JUN 10 Like the title asks, when will these cigars be hitting their peak? I know regional releases are especially known to get better with some age, but I'm not very well versed in these releases so your help would be appreciated! Also, I've heard that the Mag 48's are good to go now, but do you think there is any aging potential left in them?Thank you all in advance!

garbandz Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Nothing/everything start with the oldest,give the ERDM a couple of years to find out when a cigar has peaked,it is necessary to keep them until they decline.then it is too late....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 start with the oldest,give the ERDM a couple of years x2. i'd say 2 min. those TEB 08s should be excellent. light those up whenever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bummy Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Let them all rest in your humidor for 3 months , then pull the trigger on them! As your listed them I would smoke them( with a mag 48 every 3 months)all of them have a little age on then,with the 07,08,09,10 beautiful age on them.enjoy!

Smallclub Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Also, I've heard that the Mag 48's are good to go now, but do you think there is any aging potential left in them? The Mag 48 is already on the declining slope IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 There's an interesting thread running now on the RA Estupendos: http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=114982 I'm working my way through a box each of the Bolivar Short Bolivar and PL Belicosos Extra and I think they're both smoking really well now.

Pedro2486 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 smoke em if you got em, gents. the boxes i've had are also all over the place... I still think there a good smoke and a better LE than others I've tried. I'm definitely not sitting on my box for any longer though. What interests me is how different they would be in taste and aging potential if they had a normal wrapper rather than the standard issue Colorado maduro LE wrapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 would be in taste and aging potential if they had a normal wrapper rather than the standard issue Colorado maduro LE wrapper ... never considered this as a thought before. huh. honestly, most LEs nowadays are declining rapidly. wish i could've had a Monte Sublime in its peak. i'm turning down offers of 380/ box of sublimes nowadays beacuse of what i've thought about the Monte Sublimes. people say they'll rebound, but i'm not so sure. not sure what to think about the GEs now, either. should the opinion be based on the turn out of the Monte Sublime?

Boss Hog Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I'm working my way through a box each of the Bolivar Short Bolivar and PL Belicosos Extra and I think they're both smoking really well now.
