I’m not a big PL guy, so don’t quote me, but they all became tripa larga except the panatelas. 

Short filler doesn’t necessarily take away anything.  My favorite cheap and cheerful is LFDC Selectos.

Good tobacco is good tobacco...even the off-cuts, no? I've smoked enough Cohiba Shorts in the last year to 100% concur with your statement and my box of PL Panatelas a few years back was just as 'caramel' as my Montecarlos smokes have been lately.

I'd suggest you buy up on those La Flor de Cano Selectos, they've been listed as discontinued in 2019. Check out the 5th Avenue list image within this thread.

No, they changed to hand rolled from machine rolled. Have always been short filler.

Yes, that's correct.

Word, thanks for all the clarification guys! 

At $60 a box, the Pantys are a no-brainer. Going deep while I can still find them.

You'll be surprised, super old tubos marry the best of vintage mellow flavour, but retain their nicotine zing.   Make sure you do a review.  Congratulations.

Claro Claro on the bottom?

Actually just smoked one. Couldn’t wait. Was shocked how flavorful and powerful they were, you’re absolutely right about the nicotine. Was taken aback by the nicotine rush I was getting. 
flavor profile reminded me more of Ramon or RyJ. Had a cherry/fruit complexity going for it. Didn’t totally blow me away or anything but was a really nice smoke. 
not sure about Claro claro I’ll check later. Would that be the color of the wrapper?

Report back, I'm a Hoyo whore, and these have always interested me because just a slight bit bigger than my beloved Prince, just haven't pulled the trigger on em yet.

Will do Mickey!   I couldn’t find any good comparisons between the two so i figured I’d buy some and compare myself.

Prince: 40ga x 5.12"

Depute: 38ga x 4.4"

 

I just put one of each into the box pass. I instantly knew the answer because I had to look up which one was which when I went to make labels for them haha. Both are good, I wish I had been around when the prince were still available.

Regios ORG SEP 15 and MdO4 TOS FEB 17. The former are smoking great (and have an almost pinkish colour), the latter need to settle down a bit yet (and are dark and mottled).

June 1998. I’ve been looking for a cab of these for a while and it took some major trading action to make this happen.

I'd love to see pics of your collection one day. You have some amazing vintage cigars!
