I'll add an Upmann Laguito No. 1/Especial like the Lanceros or Fundis, because that could probably be even more amazing. Hell, if they made that vitola with the Mag56 blend I'd buy a mastercase of it. Or two. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianbeaver Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I buy them when I travel now only, except for Canada where I live. Like those. But those short Robustos are so ungratifying when we sit down for a drink at a park or somewhere! 1. Ramon Allones 2. Robusto Extra or Pyramid 3. Box of 10 €/£/$ does not matter because this is a holiday. A special time. Unless it is Spain lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SS2 would be a giant leap forward, but not from the perspective of the Beanie Baby generation of smokers! All these bands and crap... Hotwheels for adults! Special 'edition' cigars...

If they had been, they would have done a lot better on the market. The price was also out of line, as is still the case with all the other SC models. El Principe is a different blend than all other SCs. A good La Fuerza can come close, but the EP is generally richer and sweeter--much heavier on the syrupy molasses flavor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a tad lighter in my memory but i wouldn't go so far to say it's a completely different blend. Now that you awakened my interest i took a '07 El Principe and a '07 Oficio out of their boxes and put them into the drybox today for a side by side comparison in a few weeks. You are right with the price but this was at least partially due to the presentation and i love the SCdLH LCDH boxes. They are quite airtight and that is probably the reason they didnt age well and got mixed reviews during the first years. 45 minutes ago, Smallclub said: Definitely. I'm not sure that's a good idea.

I made the same experience from a '07 box i acquired 2013 and smoked one directly from the box one month after. Took two out and put them to my office cabinet. Half a year later i tried one of those and it was a difference like day and night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the most complex but certainly the most sweet, it's like smoking some coffee-flavored sponge cake… yum… My opinion on the Oficios is very much in line with yours. I wasn't passing judgment on the cigars--simply that they could be had fairly easily and at a relatively low price (probably for good reason). Interest was expressed, so I have no problem pointing someone in the right direction. If my opinion had been requested, well, that's a different matter. I'm glad you said it so I didn't have to!
