Smokin Bulldog Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 I am new to the site and have been lurking for a couple months. I did not want to use a whole thread just to introduce myself considering the number of threads already existing for that purpose. So I will start off with a question. Which Habanos brands smoke the best young, or should it be by vitola, or both? I am new to Habanos and am wondering what should be smoked now and what I should hold onto for a while. Thanks for any help!
The Privateer Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Welcome! Some of the fresh Habanos I like tend to be the smaller sizes. Try some of these though: Bolivar Coronas Junior RA Small Club Coronas HDM Doble Coronas Juan Lopez Petit Corona RyJ Cazadores Any smaller Cuaba (they do get sick though)
habanohal Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 I go for the fresh cigars myself. I like the more bold in your face taste. Everything and anything under the sun so far from 04 and 05 have been awesome. I have been realizeing that alot of my boxes that are 04 or 05 have not hit a "sick" period.
DocRKS Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 I find that even young - the Upmann Mag 46s are DELICIOUS !!!!
shrink Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 RyJ Cazadores Privateer, are you nuts? Or just trying to reduce the congestion on this board by killing off some newbies? Maybe you consider any Cazadore under the age of 18 "young", since they are not old enough to vote... My favorite "freshies" (don't you just love that term!!!!) : PSD4 Mag46 HdM Epi 1 Boli CJ or PC

genevapics Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Montecristo #5. Nice chocolate/mocha flavors. A good 30-40 minute smoke. A wonderful right off the truck. I believe the box I have are from Nov 05. And price is right. Welcome.
Smokin Bulldog Posted March 5, 2006 Author Posted March 5, 2006 Thanks for the suggestions guys. Keep them coming I am making notes :-D
smk819 Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 I agree with RASCC, but also Boli PCs and PSP2 I am enjoying young.
Freefallguy Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Given about 3 weeks rest after airmail, I find the current run of Monte 2's to be an excellent choice!
cigardawg Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 I enjoy very few Habanos fresh. If I had to choose a few that I could/would smoke fresh, I would say... RASCC PSD4 ERDM CS All are better with age on them, but they are smokable fresh.
strayvector Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Welcome to the board. For right out of the box smokes, no matter the date of manufacture, I like the VR Famosos.
korryp Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Welcome Aboard I tend to like the Partagas Shorts when they are young.

No seriously, I think these cigars have their own charm when young...like Jose Piedras. They are rustic and strong, and some veterans seem to value that without wanting to alter the fact. Still, you're right shrink....there are saner people to listen to than me :-)
seamus Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 I agree on the PSD4s and the Mag 46s. I also don't mind a fresh RASS. I prefer them with age but I still like them fresh.
FatDaddy Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Now keep in mind I have never smoked anything with much age on it but I love Monte Edmundos, PSD4's and BBF's right out the box.

guilow Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 I'll 2nd the votes for the Boli PC. That cigar is GREAT young. I've even preferred some of my 04s and 05s to older (02s) ones.
Mel Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 I like young cigars and aged ones. One is not always better than another, just different. If you look at the Min Ron NEE book one could get the impression that no cigar should be smoked before 3-20 years of maturartion. Just for an the sake of discussion another question could be posed here. What cigar is bad when young? I have not had any. They may go through a sick or flat period and then turn around again but were never bad ,just not at thier best. I do like young: RASS Boli PC PSD4 the whole siglo series by Cohiba.
greenpimp Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Mag46, current Monte 4s, and Punch RS11s are all smoking well young for me right now.
sleeper Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 I would say, and many are mentioned above, that the majority of the PC's and TPC's smoke well with little age, or atleast that has been my experience. IMO, they also get better with 3-5 years age.
