earthson Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 Pre-empting my regularly-scheduled hoarding of PLMC, Marevas and Robustos to focus on the (Nicaraguan) Ortega Cubao. I rarely smoke outside the HSA catalog, and when I do, it's once or twice per year that it's a Nicaraguan cigar. Holy Jebus, these things are tasty! Very smooth, the Sumatra wrapper isn't terribly minerally (don't care for overt mineral notes) and the filler is obviously well-aged and cared for. The thirds go from creamy cedar and citrus to cocoa and chocolate and end in a decadent coffee cake/earth bonanza. Hard to find, but quite the pleasant surprise!
Pag Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 Probably some RyJ MF or cedros or some Partagas M., Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk
IanMcLean68 Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 @El Presidente, any chance of seeing the Partagas culebras again sometime soon? I have been meaning to get a box o' coffins before these unique wonky powerhouses disappear forever ?
Ritch Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 Monte Especiales. They seem to be my go to choice currently 1
soonerwings Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 I usually don’t like to buy boxes, but I am REALLY eyeballing a box of RASS or RASCC.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lotusguy Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 Scored the Dip 2 at yesterday’s 24:24. Now I don’t really know what will be next. Probably whatever goes on sale during one of those 72hr deals.
DeskSmkr Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 Less than 48 ring, longer than 5 inches. Or a figurado with a tapered head.

And dif from 24:24? I mean, besides the obvious (maybe more selection?)

Thanks man! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Can’t stand h upmanns, except the noellas. People, knowing i love tos 16 principes, have generously gifted me lots of them. I think I’ve sampled 6 or 7 boxes. Every single one has been spectacular. 100%.
rguinn Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 I’d have to go with a box of PSP Monte PE’s. Such a great morning smoke with a nice cup of black coffee.
VRATJV07 Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Looking for Trinidad La Trova or H Upmann Connie B to come up on 24:24. @Elpresidente will we see these any time soon?

Hmm... that's a great recommendation of that run of Principes, but how do I categorize it, coming from someone who can't stand Upmanns... ?

Ask anyone about me? ? Something about upmanns is just sort of... astringent to me. I totally get what other people love about them, but they literally leave an unpleasant taste in my mouth. I make an exception for the noellas. The rest just kinda remind me of NCs. I’m a bolivar, partagas, lgc and PL man, primarily. Especially the pre-2000 stuff. 91-95 were probably my favorite years, at ~5-15 years down, if that gives you a better feel for my tastes. 1
Jnavas1500 Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 Looking for BHK 54, Have a box of 56 sitting in humidor for the last 9 months also Siglo VI (25)
Boozebag Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 Epicure de Luxe Secretos A few paychecks away. May add a box of HUHC as well. I tend to order in threes, for no reason. Bummed I missed the 24:24 Secretos.
CubanConnoisseur Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 I’m looking at trying a box of Quai D’Orsay 50 or 54, looks like current supplies are slim though. Might go for a box of Por Larrañaga Montecarlos too.
Cubadust Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 I will only buy these: Partagas Serie D.5 HdM Petit Robustos RASCC And maybe if there should be any PSP Partagas D4s on 24:24 when I wake up. Besides those my credit card is on probation.
