What do you consider the most exceptional Regional Release that you have smoked?

[SMELTZ]

I haven’t smoked too many Regi’s, but this 2019 Sancho Panza Exclusivo Belux is delicious. Starts off sweet and salty. Turns out to be very complex

Price aside, I’ve been a fan of the REs. They allow you to experience sizes and blends that aren’t available otherwise. While many have been mediocre, IMO, there have been many outstanding releases. Here are my favorites that I’ve tried and still enjoy:

Edmundo Dantes 109

La Escepcion Selectos Finos

Por Larranaga Magnificos

Punch Sir David

Diplomaticos Bushido

Ramon Allones Phoenicio 30

Punch 898

 

Forgot about the Ramón Allones Hunters & Frankau Aniversario 225 Edición. It’s been a while since I smoked one of these, so I tried one tonight. Absolutely delicious!

I don't have a big cigar collection. 

Only one cigar do I own two full boxes of.  

The ERdM Tainos. 

The one from the 2019 Christmas Sampler (which was legendary) got me hooked. 

I haven't cracked either box yet. Maybe in a few years. 

Yep. I have pondered offering up a PSP '20 box of CORO for two 10 count boxes in trade. The taker would get a better $ deal and I would get the better sticks!!!

Monte C from 03 with fireproof wrappers. Exeptional 🙄

 

N.B. Apologies to the pedants as think this was an LE not RE...

[GavLew79]

Fairly recent good ones have been the Flor de Cano Spanish RE (Magicos?), the San Cristobal Cuban LE and the San Cristobal Suadade Portugal RE. 

[dicko]

Diplomatico Bushido 100% they nailed everything with that release

I'd choose 109 cuban drop head whatever its called as my enclosure of choice if I had to pick one

I am RE lover! Especially it's the reason why I can smoke taller RA/PL stocks.

JL no 4, reason why I found FOH.

PL Encantos

Phoenicio 30

LFDC Magicos

La Escepcion Selectos Finos ER Italia -- IMO, the best period; hands down.

Many others are notable, though in a different category and for differing reasons:  El Diputado ER Belux was one of the better mild cigars I can ever remember from HSA; great complexity for a subtle cigar.  Edmundo Dantes Conde Belicoso ER Mexico and Juan Lopez Malecón ER Andorra are both beautiful for their complexity IMO.  ...There are many ER's that I find very compelling, but none hold a candle to the La Escepcion.  

+1 for La Escepcion.
