ramon_cojones Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 MGE LE 2010. Frankly, I don't get what the fuss is about. These are mediocre cigars in the donkey cock format with way too much generic LE chocolate/cocoa flavors and not enough Monte creaminess. Great construction and lots of smoke, though. I think I'm going to ditch my last box. The Sublimes LE 2008 was 10x better IMO. I'm so glad I never bought any of these after my determination awhile back that I dislike ELs. Seems a few are starting to share the same sentiment. Especial 2 is the way to go in the monte lineup.
Pilgrims Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 A cracking Mag 46 on what feels like the last sunny day for a while...lovely elegant balance, creamy start and a leathery finish, classy

mazolaman Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Watching a beautiful sunset in Poland, with a rather nice short Churchill.
CBL Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 An old Siglo V during a nice evening in the backyard. Great burn but slightly tight draw.
Lotusguy Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Original release LGC Inmensos. Fantastic subtle smoke.
Lotusguy Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Not had a cazadores before. Do you still get the RyJ black cherry etc? Thanks G Hi! Not so much stone fruit, no. It's straight in-your-face no nonsense tobacco. Not exactly subtle or varied, but sometimes I am just in the mood for something like that, especially when it is not the first cigar of the day and my palate is a bit too fried for nuances
maverickdrinker Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Might fire up one of these tonight.... 2012 EL Montecristo 520
ramon_cojones Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Smoking a bbf on the patio, best one I've had though I'm not a boli guy and despite it being 94 on the patio. This heat is relentless I can't wait for sweater weather.
Ophidion Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Might fire up one of these tonight.... 2012 EL Montecristo 520 Any idea on price for those yet?
LLC Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Might fire up one of these tonight.... 2012 EL Montecristo 520 Your cold must be better
maverickdrinker Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Decided not to fire it up. The cold is still making me feel yucky.
ramon_cojones Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 bland 07 qdo panetela can't even finish it
Habanakane21 Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Por Lorranaga Legendarios. Pretty Good for my 3rd PLL. I dipped into my second box to see if there was any difference from my first box. A little milder but same PL flavors. Hip Hip
pjansen Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Enjoyed a great 06 Dip #2 with some Blanton's Single Barrel.
Lotusguy Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Closing out the night with a Upmann Half Corona BD Sep 11. Holy ammonia, batman! They entered a major sick phase. Cat piss city Impossible to retrohale since it burns too much in your nose. Better let them rest for a while now. This is as bad as the very first one of these I had when they were super-fresh. Can't finish it

Nino Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Same with my box - SUB SEP 11. Smoking through a box of H.Upm 1/2 Coronas from SUB OCT 11 and they are very fine.
Afficionado1 Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Great cigar weekend. Meeting good friends in Germany, good food en good cigar. 1560 km in 2,5 days just to smoke, eat and drink with friends. Life is good
Lotusguy Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Smoking through a box of H.Upm 1/2 Coronas from SUB OCT 11 and they are very fine. I have both exact codes - will try one from the Oct. box shortly just to see if the one month makes a difference.
svivo Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Juan Lopez #2, a delightful little smoke from 08. Quite surprised how the JL marca flies under the radar so well. Hopefully these aren't put on a discontinuation list anytime soon.
Wil Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Smoking through a box of H.Upm 1/2 Coronas from SUB OCT 11 and they are very fine. That is good to hear. Will try another tomorrow.
phoenix Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Been toiling over steel pot and open fire better part of the afternoon now about ready to sit down for traditional Goulash soup with friends and family in Gunzburg, Germany. Absolutely Priceless! 2009 GER RE Boli 109's will be lit afterwards so stay tuned!
