I've yet to see a truly positive review on this wonderfully intense chocolatety smoke.  If you regret buying a box of these terrible smokes and wish to rid yourself of this garbage for bargain basement prices, please contact me!

I'm holding off until 2037 when the Party Maduro #3 will be released

Have never tried any of those. Any of them worth a snot?

Had a Cuaba Tradicionales this morning - unknown boxcode added as a single to my last cuntint order. Colorado Claro wrapper and crappy reviews had me dreading the smoke. Surprisingly very good and quite unique. Wet earth, breads, peanut butter with a slightly sweet finish that lasted even unto the end, where the profile had turned more woody and peppery. I wouldn't risk buying a box of these due to what sounds like problems with consistency, but a nice surprise, nonetheless.

Followed up a couple hours later with a EML SEP 14 PLMC. Not quite in their sweet spot yet, but reliable as always. I'm down to 6 boxes and need to order more, more, more.

The Oliva Melanio is a great smoke, IMO. Well, not just mine, as it was CA's #1 cigar of 2014, for what that's worth. And you can frequently catch them on sale for solid prices. 

I want to try some Cuabas at some point. I agree with you though, in that because of all the hate, I am inclined to try some singles first. I know Rob says the Distinguidos are excellent. Based on your description of the flavor profile, I think I might like them.

Juan Dos - could be my favorite CC

Don't think I've ever had worse than a GREAT cigar with these gorgeous white specs in the ash.  Sign of extreme quality in my experience.

Don't really care if it's oils, magnesium, plume, tooth, grain, mold, or black plague - if it's on my cigar then I know my smoke will be AT LEAST GREAT!

ENJOY

Another Cremas, really not an ugly stick for $1.60. Pleasant aroma, and even the ash holding on quite firmly. Still I dislike the flavour on the palate....

Fresh? I smoked my first JLP with any decent age (3 yrs) on it a few weeks ago and it was very pleasant flavourwise.

What do you think of the Monarch? I've never had one, but I've seen a few old boxes floating around that looked tempting. Does it compare favorably to the Sir Winnie?

Cabiaguan Belicoso Fino. I've seen these posted here a couple of times, so I decided to pick ome up as a courtesy buy at my local B&M.

Yes. The Oliva Melanio was by far the best of the 5 I posted. Amazing construction. Just look at that gorgeous ash. I will be picking up more.

If you like a light to mild cigar, you're gonna have trouble finding a better stick than the Vegas Robaina Famoso.  It's about a 2.5-3 outta 10 on the strength scale. Problem is, you're gonna pay almost $10 a stick or so for these.  At that price point, I find these babies very unattractive.  I'm a medium-full to full guy but I respect the VRF, I just will find it hard to justify another box at this pricepoint.  $5-$6 a smoke? Then sure.  Not at 10 bucks! However, far far far better than the SLR REGIOS tasteless garbage stick at the same price-point.  Gotta chop 40% off these babies at least to make it a competitive buy.

The last of a fiver of RASS from 3+ years ago. Great draw and burn. Smooooth, deep espresso/ strong black coffee. Slightly burnt toast. A really great smoke. Need more of these.

My APU Jul 15 box of Coloniales has been my most inconsistent smoke, ranging from meh, to very memorable. This one was outstanding. Worthy of the improvised nubbing aid treatment.

Big thanks to @JohnS for this beautiful Cohiba Robusto! Excellent smoke. My first CoRo and I absolutely loved it. Perfect draw, perfect burn and great flavours of nut, a touch of cream, and that Cohiba grassyness. 

Hope you all are having a great night.

Sunday morning C&C time with a JL 2. Second one I've tried from a few I received in a trade. Not sure if put them on level with coro, or choose one over a coro given the choice, but they sure are good!

First non cuban in a while...was actually very ordinary

Back from a weekend Cub Scout camp and a quick RG Perlas before getting cleaned up and sorting the kit out. HdM E2s and Monte 5s were had by the fire once they'd gone to bed on Friday and Saturday night.

Scout camp next weekend too...

Don't really think it is an age-issue, though I don't have a box code for them. But this pack is not appearing like fresh sticks to me. Will certainly keep on trying, though perhaps it's simply a personal thing. Aroma and flavours on the retrohale are really pleasant, but I just don't find the taste on the tongue to be very attractive. In contrast e.g. a MdO4 that I had the other day lingered so nicely on my palate for hours.... I think, there you just see reflected the difference in provenance.

Dried tobacco roll for me - dried salmon-skin-rolls for the dogs.

I am sure we share the same feelings in anticipation....

(One really shoudn't forget to wash his hands before doing the next draw.... )
