For those that have tried the El Rey Del Mundo Formosa Tainos

[El Presidente]

For those that have tried the El Rey Del Mundo Tainos Formosa  Regional 2018, can you let us know your initial opinions 

I am a lover of them as much because i have no doubt they will end up in the same flavour realm as the discontinued ERDM Tainos after 5 years +.  I can't recall having seen a cigar replicated to this level of perfection. 

Your thoughts (price aside).

I saw them coming through on the European tour of the Taiwanese cigar club. 
 

Lovely but so far no match for the real thing and with todays tobaccos being different from the older strains who knows what they might develop into.

I had a review that i had been meaning to post, so i went ahead and put that up.

TLDR: infanticide at this point, truly.  There seems to be a lot going on in this blend and in my opinion, I think the cigar has a lot of upside potential.  How much?  I guess only time will tell.  However, based on my experience with this stick, i would love to get my hands on some of the originals.  Given that seems unlikely, I will probably be looking to pick up a few more boxes and not revisiting before the 2-3 year mark.

Smoked one today and it was fantastic! Definitely a different blend than most smokes coming from the island these days.

Creamy, woody, some spice and orange zest. To me this smoke strongly showed ERDM DNA. Delicious!

I'm not a regional guy, but I have to get some of this before they dry up...question is, how many?

For me one to smoke, one to hold.

They would just as soon make it an EL or more ERs. Way more $$ that way. Just look at the Talisman

you smoke one, all the house is 'decorated' with its flavor, amazing.

Still young, medium bodied at most, like most of current ERDM flavor -- easy to smoke.
