El Presidente Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I was asked via PM yesterday an interesting question and it was one briefly touched upon in my “Member Deep Dive” with John S on Monday The question was “when was the last great run of Romeo y Julieta cigars?” Great runs? Legendary runs? I consider a great production run as a golden period/run in a particular cigar. You can find great cigars in any year/production ……but you do come across seams that month to month, just deliver a higher percentage of what are brilliant cigars. The LUB 2013/14 Upmann Number 2 was one great run. Similarly, the TOS 15 Diplomatico Number 2 are in my eyes legendary. How long does a “run” last? From my experience, it can be as short as 2-3 months or as long as 6-8 months even within the same factory code. Romeo y Julieta? POU 2013’s in the Romeo y Julieta Exhibition Number 4 was special. Similarly, the BUP/MSA Romeo y Julieta Churchills of 2017-2019. Would love your thoughts on R&J or and other cigar vitola/Marque 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Run of RyJ? I'd agree around 13-14 there was a little green shoot with Churchills and Ex 4 but short-lived. The last great RyJ I had was an 03 Ex 4 50 cab. Of course plenty of "runs" and great codes. A few threads on that. TEB, LUB, MUO and EML come to mind.

PartagasIV Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Agree on MUO Churchills! Ex-Romeo, TEB Partagas/Bolivar, LRE Partagas/Bolivar; AME Hoyo/SCdlH, to name a few. LUB also made for great Monte Double Edmundos & Connie A's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99call Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Punch seams to be on a legendary run across the board since 2020. 2015-2016 old band QDO Coronas were exceptional. 2015 Boli No 1 and BCG were fantastic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas.Alpha Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 MSU 19 Bolivar petit corona, CJ and of course Royal Coronas were all stunning! Have not busted into the TUA 20-21’s yet, but I have high hopes. 😀 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nocoins Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 My favorite multi-box experiences (that come to mind immediately) are TEB Bolivar 07/08, BRS Hoyo Epi 2 12, and UAO Siglo II 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavLew79 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 2014/2015 ULA, pretty much anything was great, wasn't it? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justins123 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Those TEB Bolivars are truly extraordinary. Just by dumb luck I picked up several different boxes. TEB SEP07 CEs are great but the TEB ENE08 Tubos No 1s are probably the best Bolivars I’ve smoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for me a pinnacle in smoking "career" was the '14-15 ULA Boli RC's. Absolute favorite flavor ever! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
