Going Deep...What and Why?


Recommended Posts

For me, going deep is buying 2 50-cabs, or 3-5 regular boxes. I'll do that for cigars that I believe will be great with age. I'll keep my eyes out for sales. I'll only do so once I'm convinced they are good and have aging potential. My list for doing that is:

RASS (2 cabs in 07, bought 2 more in 2013)

RA Superiores (5 boxes of 10)

Boli Britanicas (5 boxes of 10)

Monte 4 and 5 (I smoke them a lot, like them with 3 years but don't care about going longer than that, so I always have 6-8 boxes on hand)

Upmann Half Coronas (I've bought 5 boxes of 25, trying not to touch them much, want them to get some age)

I need to get my mind out of the gutter. My response to your question involved balls. I'll leave it at that. SMH.

All very interesting, and foreign to me. I have never gone deep, on cigars. I have bought 2 or 3 boxes of the same cigar, but never at the same time. Only when I get near halfway through a box and

RA898 - deepest I have ever gone on anything.

Those 50 cab Boli PC's are special!!! Definitely a cut above the boxes.

I would kill for one of these! And if they ever discontinue the BPC, give me a call and I will join you on your quest to kill all of the higher ups at HSA......

Those RA Superiores are so good. Should be a 96-?? with age. 93 for me right now!!!

Right there with you. The Cazadores are something I put up in quantity because they never fail to satisfy and are reasonably priced.

I enjoy these a lot. Have half a box from a split and would like to get more but I don't recall seeing them here.

Is the foil they come in sealed so they can't be easily inspected?

Found this thread on going deep (get your mind out of the gutter!) and with the recent rumors of scarcity, potential wrapper shortages and discontinuation, I thought to revive this one.

For my own circumstances and selfishness, with family planning on the imminent agenda in my household, I anticipate any disposable income will diminish rapidly as we move into next year so since the summer I have been "building stock" to hopefully reap the benefits of ageing and availability in years to come, mostly all are regular production.

Deepest I have are PL Montecarlos with 5 boxes.

B/SOTL - over to you. What preferences have you had this year and are stocking up on?

Went deep into

LGC No. 3 when I had the chance too. Wonderful smoke.

LGC Tainos found a source and had a great plan to buy box for box, BUT than came USA and spoiled my genius plan. Hey USA enjoy them!

RA Perfectos Suiza because I like them.

RA 8-9-8 because I like them.

PL Montecarlos hmmm yum yum.

PL Secretos little bugger and worth the coin.

What I don't enjoy I trade, sell or gifted them away. In all these years a good guide.

I go deep on cigars that I like and are being produced at the top of their game. For example the R&J Churchill. Absolut perfection for the last 2 years. I buy as many as I can afford assuming the quality won't last mush longer. Now I could be wrong but that's my thînking.

Hello Lotusguy and Perla. Happy Holidays!

Are these the recent RA 898s that you have gone deep on??

Yes, sorry for not being clear. Wish I had more than a couple singles of the old RA898.

Deepest I've gone was the RACF and glad I did!

Of late it's more the standards in the Partagas, Cohiba, Upmann and Bolivar ranges due to shortage/inflation concerns along with the great quality we've seen of late. That and more bang for the buck than LE/RE/other special programs......

Did drop a bit on the RA 898 RE and the LE Dons recently as I believe those could both be classics or at minimum decent investments.

I like a lot of variety and I rarely smoke the same cigar twice in a short period of time. But, I have gone deep on Cohiba as a whole, buying more than a dozen different boxes from their lines, and if everything arrives safely, I've gone extra deep on the la escepion Don Jose :)

First world problems!

Partly because I bought into the hype. Partly because I got them at a very good price from FOH.

Plan to:

Reyes

Sir Winnie

Coro

SLR DC cab

I can have all of these all day everyday.

Thank you for the season greetings.

And yes it the RE RA 898, don't have the coin to go deep wit original release 898. Wish I could.

IMO they are very nice smokes and I like the format very much.

I tend to pick up boxes of a certain marcas/vitolas every year to keep a vertical going. Gives me the opportunity to try the same vitola over a range of years. I also tend to buy from certain rollers every year in Havana. The odd regional release I will buy multiple boxes of due to the limited number of boxes produced.

I started to stockpile since 2008 in anticipation of the elimination of the Embargo as I fear quality will go down to meet demands on the American consumer wanting to try a Cuban cigar.
