Boy I sure hope nobody listens to this as a proper sig i and rg perla are phenomenal little smokes. You'd be doing yourself a huge disservice by not trying them. Sure the sigs are expensive and I'd

no brainer for me, HUHC and RASCC, fantastic smokes and probably my favorite habanos in general not just in the half corona/minuto category

i clicked on this thinking it was a 12:12:12....... :/

We need more Perlas...

Posted

I chose Boli and Reyes. Reminds me I need to pick up both. Just bought a 50 cab of Shorts as the last ones I had were so good.

I am not as big a fan of the HUHC. They are okay but not stellar IMO. Surprised they are so popular. Had a couple sig Is and didn't love them but I admit that the storage wasn't the best. My RASCC are just coming around. Didn't enjoy the first 10 that much. Same goes for the SCdH

Are Reyes discontinued now as well?

I didn't vote as I have yet to try three or four of the listed smokes, but of the ones that I have had; Boli CJ, Parti shorts, RASCC, RGP and HUHC, the HUHC is #1 and shorts is a close #2.

The best 2 have been deleted, isn't that always the way? Punch Petit Punch and Dip 5.

Working in manufacturing as I do it's prudent to stop making those that don't sell....it's simple really. But they're missed by me and it would seem many cigar forum folk, maybe we are the minority purchasers when it comes to the global market? Bigger sales come from huge swathes of infrequent buyers who buy the latest, biggest, flashiest dongasaurus 50+rg monster

Ok deep breath rant over, back to the poll

I think you can't go wrong in this vitola. I personally regularly hold Boli CJ, Trini Reyes, RG Perlas, RASCC, and my two votes: SCDLH Principe and Partagas Shorts.

I really enjoy all the cigars on the list (that I have tried) but went for the Trini Reyes and HUHC - I love both of those :)

Just smoked a Half Corona that arrived a couple days ago from here. Just wonderful flavors of cream and a hint of spice. Definitely my winter go-to smoke.

I'm excited to try the Serie D No 6 whenever that releases.

Posted

Tough list to choose from, but I went with HUHC and Trini Reyes. With that said I regularly enjoy Rascc, boli cj & the el principe. All on the list are good short smokes.

Posted

Still have yet to try a RASCC. With that being said, reyes are a regular for me (probably my all time favorite go to smoke). HUHC and Monte 5 are being shipped in the next few days so maybe my opinions could change.

Posted

Bolivar JC and Monte 5.

Apart from the SCdlH El Pincipe the remainder are a bit 'so what' in my opinion .... and the dreadful HUHC should never have been given light of day .... the RG Perlas I'm possibly being a little harsh on having only tried two, but so for me it's only a shade better than the underwhelming HUHC.

Posted

You can't go wrong with any of the Minuto/Perlas in my opinion. That beings said, the best I've had were Cohiba Siglo I from 2008 and Trinidad Reyes from 2009 (OUS box code). SCDLH El Principe and Partagas really shine when aged >5 years fyi...they can be pretty rough when smoked young.

Posted

Just received HUHC and Monte 5 in the mail yesterday, now I need to kick this flu so I can test them out. Look great.

There are definitely more than 2 but I have been enjoying the Shorts and the Principe as of late. The RASCC are right in there with them...

Honestly, to me this is the best size group that Habanos puts out. Only in the last 2-3 years have NCs even approached the quality experiene you get in a small Cuban (with the standard exception of Padrons).

I'm a big fan of most of these. Most of the time I'd rather smoke two of these than one longer cigar, mixing up flavors. And when time is short they are just right. Another factor, they are great in humid Florida weather. Relatively thin but short enough they don't plug up when it's 90% humidity outside.

My order is:

1. Monte #5. Just love the flavor profile. Dependable. Like them with 3 years of age. (Oh and I'm excited to hear there will be a Monte Half Corona).

2. RASCC Really same as above.

Both of these are full of flavor.

A close third for me is the Bolivar Coronas Junior. Just as good, just a flavor profile that ranks behind the two above.

I also have an affinity for the Upmann Half Corona. But so far they have been good but not great IMO. I think they need age. With five years they might surpass the cigars listed above.

I'm another enthusiast who can't choose between many of the cigars listed. I'm currently going through a San Cristobal de La Habana El Principe box, but I'm equally happy with a Party Shorts, Monte 5, HUHC, Trinidad Reyes or RASCC.

Posted

currently smoking a magical HUHC - fantastic love them - I need to try others - the box i just got is HQ tho, so want to order another box to smoke and let these babies do their thing - god this gets expensive haha
