Worst .... Boli Cj 00 Were so plugged my eyes would nearly pop out from trying to draw some smoke out of them Trinidad RE's from 04 way underfilled way overpriced Coro's from 03 Quality issues again...some were good,majority were constructed very poorly and burned like turds in wrappers Most potential SLR DC's from '05 RyJ Petite Pyramides ... I have a good feeling about these Cohiba Siglo VI from 04 and 05 P2's from 05 Sublimes 04 They better improve...I paid serious yang for these :-P

Loyoyo Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 Best '01 Cohiba Lanceros - Elegant. '02 Ramon Allones Coronas - I'm gonna miss 'em when they're gone. '98 Partagas 898v - Extremely satisfying when they're not plugged. Worst '04 Partagas Serie D No1 - The last one I sampled had no flavor whatsoever. '00 ERDM Choix Supreme - Tasted like a cheap Dominican. '99 Cuaba Exclusivo - I just don't care for the Cuaba flavor profile. Most Potential '02 Partagas Coronas - It's hard for me to judge, but these just keep getting better and better.
