Popular Post Wilzc Posted June 10, 2019 Popular Post Posted June 10, 2019 Looking to get a pooled consensus of the regional editions worth going after. Added every searchable tag on the title for ease of searching. I think I'll start a list with a simple 0-10 point scoring system with all the regionals I have tried and took notes of. Hopefully others can chime in, and then we can average out the scores to see what are the hottest and best ER's recently! (will also include how many entries a particular ER has been scored/voted for at the beginning of each) I know there will be the 'age' factor on the ratings but lets keep it simple for now (1) Saint Luis Rey Incas: ER Peru 2014 ---> 7.0 (1) Ramon Allones Silver Jubilee: ER Asia Pacific 2017 ---> 7.5 (1) Quai d'Orsay Secreto Cubano: ER France 2016 ---> 8.0 (3) Rafael Gonzalez 88: ER Asia Pacific 2016 ---> 5.5 (1) Por Larranaga Encantos: ER Asia Pacific 2010 ---> 8.5 (2) Punch Sir David: ER Hong Kong 2018 ---> 9.25 (1) Ramon Allones Nuevo Mundo: ER Costa Rica 2017 ---> 7.0 (1) Bolivar Tiempo: ER France 2017 ---> 8.0 (1) Vegas Robaina Short Robaina: ER Andorra 2014 ---> 6.5 (1) Ramon Allones Sur: RE Libano 2014 ---> 8.5 (1) Bolivar Silver Jubilee: RE Asia Pacific 2017 ---> 6.0 (1) La Gloria Cubana Paraiso: RE Caribe 2014 ---> 8.5 (1) Por Larranaga Sobresalientes: RE Gran Bretana 2014 ---> 9.9 (1) La Gloria Cubana Invictos: RE Italia 2017 ---> 6.0 (1) Bolivar Bosphorus: RE Turquia 2014 ---> 9.5 (1) Diplomaticos Excelencia: RE Cuba 2015 ---> 9.5 (1) Sancho Panza Quijote: RE España 2010 ---> 9.8 (1) Ramón Allones Grandes: RE España 2008 ---> 9.8 5
mbflash80 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 I am not a huge RE guy but here is what I would give some recents: Punch Sir David Hong Kong 2018 - 9.0 Ramon Allones Sur Libano 2015 - 8.5 Bolivar Silver Jubilee Hong Kong 2017 - 6.0
Lotusguy Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Ratings are subjective and frankly, it’s too much work for me to rate all the REs I’ve smoked (and I have tried almost all of them), but one I just have to mention:RG88 - solid ZERO 2 2
Puros Y Vino Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 I've enjoyed a lot of RE's. Some more than others. Going after some of these could cost you an arm and a leg given the relative scarcity, difficulty in obtaining and demand. Here's what I'd be hunting for. La Escepcion Selectos Finos - Italy 2011 La Escepcion Don Jose -Italy 2015 Ramon Allone Celestales Finos - AP 2009 Ramon Allones Gladiator - BPE - 2010 Bolivar Bosphorus - Turkey 2014 ERDM Infantes - Cuba 2013 (honorable mention LGC Delicios 2009 Cuba RE (jar release, going for well over $1000USD) Ramon Allones Super Allones - Canada 2011 Punch Clasicos - Swiss 2011 Bolivar Especiales No 2 - Germany 2009 1
Stump89 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Have smoked a bunch, but here's a few memorable ones off the top of my head: La Escepcion Selectos Finos/ Don Jose PL belicoso extra Bolivar 108/ Emperador LGC Triunfos RA short perfectos SLR Inca

Tobbot Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 All I've been fortunate enough to smoke have been Españas: '08 RA Grandes: 9.8 '10 SP Quijotes: 9.8 '09 Punch Gran Robusto: very, very MEH! '14 RA Caprichos: first couple I decided to give them more time. I smoked one this last winter and it was craziest I've ever smoked: it was phenomenally tasty as soon as I lit, but it burned incredibly unevenly. I kept evening it up and purging. It was still tasty occasionally but got pretty charred tasting after all re-lites and I finally gave up less than 2/3 through... I'll try again sometime with high hopes, because I've never smoked a stogie that tasty from first puff! Both that I gave high scores... could've easily given perfect tens, as I can't imagine tastier smokes but...who knows what future holds. 1

Kai Ø Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 For me, the best box of ER to this day was Bolivar Bosphorus Turkey 2014! Lots of tasty green pepper and seriously strong. 9,75/10
BrightonCorgi Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 Bolivar DC's and RA Belicoso are two legendary RE's

I’m loving the QDO Capitolio’s though. I wish I bought more boxes while I was in Paris. Edmundo Dante’s Conde Belicosos are amazing too.
NSXCIGAR Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 ERs are a finicky bunch. I'd say the great ones are certainly well known. Any 109 (although I'm not sure the 11 Punch Clasicos were received) La Escepcion Edmundo Dantes Punch Superfinos Boli Simones Boli Colosales Boli Emperadores Boli Especiales No. 2 Boli Armonias Boli 681 Boli Distinguido Boli Bosphorus RA Seleccion Suprema RA Phoenicios 30/32/35 RA Celestiales Finos RA 898 RA Short Perfectos PL Lonsdales PL Belicosos PL Magnificos Dip Bushidos LGC Gloriosos JL Distinguidos SLR Inca QdO Secretos RG 88 Punch Sir David

Wilzc Posted June 12, 2019 Author Posted June 12, 2019 RG88 seems to be getting insane polarizations lol
Lotusguy Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 RG88 seems to be getting insane polarizations lol I don’t get it - I’ve tried about 10 sticks from various boxes and they were absolute dog rockets, when they burned at all.
