El Presidente Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 Most of us have them. Those cigars that are aging in your humidor, not because you actually want to.....but because the thought of smoking them makes you wince. Maybe your tastes have changed......maybe you alway hated them and can't bring yourself to lighting one up. Sleepers....nemesis cigars taking up room in your humidor What's yours?
Popular Post jay8354 Posted July 5, 2021 Popular Post Posted July 5, 2021 For us Aussies without a large bank roll, that is every one of them. Everyone you smoke means one less in storage. Yes, you enjoy the moment but when you think about the cost of replacing it, ouch.... So for me: - Anything Cohiba, since it is almost impossible for me to get a hold of any, even if they are available, due to lack of stock - I still have a few leftover CoRos from the box I won from World Cup Score game from El Prez. - Anything over 10+ years, which is almost everything I have. - Anything that has been discountinued - HdM DDs - cause you cannot even buy them with money - Lusi, RAGs cause I love to smoke them 6
Popular Post Islandboy Posted July 5, 2021 Popular Post Posted July 5, 2021 I’ve got a sleeping ¾ box of RASS that’s now over 5 years old. It’s my second box, I thought maybe the first box was a dud. I’ve given it my best shot to understand the hype, but I’m beginning to think they’re just not in my wheelhouse - which seems strange since everyone and their brother loves them. 5
NSXCIGAR Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 Some Mag 50 floating around. Need to give those away desperately. Have a few RGPC I'm not a fan of. Some RyJ Short Churchills need to get lost. I really try not to have anything I don't like lying around unless they are pure giveaway cigars. 1
Bijan Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 LGR NOV 18 PLPC cab. Good sleeper I guess as they're supposed to need 5 years. Not terrible cigars but definitely not the caramel they're supposed to be.

I've completed the 12-step program but it didn't help...still can't get them. I will say that the 19-20 RASS I've had are among the best I've ever had, although that's not saying much. 90-91 points tops.

I'm not sold on them. I really want to be. All this talk about stone fruits and raisins. Then I get some samples- flat. Then I buy a box blind- flat thus far. Don't recall the factory code but it was from 2019.

The problem is it’s all stewed prune, not my thing.

They get a lot of praise but I've never seen it in modern times. Not much flavor for me. The Perlas blow them away IMO. 11 minutes ago, Islandboy said: The problem is it’s all stewed prune, not my thing. Don't buy any Famosos then... 1

It's the other way around for me. And I think the Perlas get more praise now. But I like Marevas much more than Perlas. 1

I would prefer the Marevas as well. I actually somewhat dislike Perlas. Minutos are about the smallest I'm really comfortable with and I'd prefer Marevas of the three. Unfortunately, the RG, Monte 5 and Siglo I are all pretty special. But boy, would I love to have some of these Perlas/Minutos blends in a Marevas or Coronas. And you're right--for some reason the RGPC has really dropped off the map. I have a feeling these are headed for death sooner than later. They have a very, very small following and they seem to be producing very few recently. Not a good sign. The Perlas are quite good and are such a great value I'm not surprised they're garnering more attention recently. @El Presidente, curious--when's the last time anyone even asked you about RGPC? Seen any lately? 2
Fuzz Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 BGMs. Don't know what possessed me to buy them, but buy them I did. Now they sit in my locker, and I've never had the heart to send for them. Why oh why did I buy Bolivars when I don't even like smoking them?!?!?! 1 1

I bought some of the 07 release as well. Didn't like them. I am assuming of course you're not talking about the 1970s BGM...

Great size and up there as one of my GOAT cigars. Bite the bullet and have a crack! For me it’s any modern Trinidad. Can’t get a decent one and just not much going on, or too subtle.
Notsocleaver Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 RG Lonsdales. I thought I got rid of them all and then I found another 5 I had stuck in another box. Smoked one on a lark and I'll be damned, it looks looks like after 15 years they might be coming around. 1

GVan Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 Monte Petite Edmundo - (LMB JAN-18). The first two box purchase of CC's I ever made. @Devo loves them and always says they're chocolate bombs. I never get any chocolate off of them - I do get it from other cigars - but not these. Put 3 away from the first box into long-term storage (stole the idea from @SigmundChurchill) and don't plan on touching them until their 7 to 10 years old. The other box sits in the humi awaiting Devo to smoke them. Haven't bought any more since. Love my Monte # 2's and 4's - I'll just stick with these! 1
mbflash80 Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 Mag 46...tried so many over the years without success...yet i still have them taking up space.
Chas.Alpha Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 Oooh, I’m goin’ to FOH hell for this. A gorgeous box of 2018 R&J Churchills I got in Havana a couple of years ago. Visually stunning in every way, certainly would have made PSP by looks alone. Like smoking a stick of wood. Firm to over firm draw, then wood with some lovely wood notes (and a slightly bitter cherry on top). Had considered using a few for smoking ribs yesterday, but at $X dollars a stick, I kept with the mesquite chips... 1 3
KCCubano Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 OR Mag 50 regular production. Bought 25 ct and phenomenal. Immediately bought 50 Cab. Bland at 1st and thought needed some down time. Never developed even after 2,3 ,5 and 10 years. Still have half cab. Just straight tobacco..
