Actually have never had a lanceros in any marca, even nc's, but do really enjoy its little brother, the Exquisitos and really enjoy them. No draw issues with any of them yet, which is why I typically shy away from anything under 40rg. Have had too many draw issues, and they are too skinny for my draw tool. It tends to crack the wrapper or punch out the side by not going in perfectly straight. Also don't typically like anything under 5in either (which I know doesn't apply here, just a statement), but there are a few exceptions Also have never found the COLA available in singles anywhere, so would have to scrounge up a few in a private sale, which is a little different still. Would like to give one a try someday, as they seem quite popular and well regarded. Will try again to find some in a private sale next month Had some nice age on it too, which most think is pretty much a necessity for Cohibas in particular. @havanaclub How do they compare to the Exquisitos?

Popular Post StogieSteve23 Posted May 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2021 SOM-DIC-16 RG88. Enjoyable. Rye bread, vegetal earthy notes and a cocoa powder dusting. RAT-ENE-20 PSdP. Always love these. Peanut, cedar, florals and a hint of chili powder. TUA-ENE-20 Boli Lib after pressure washing my grandparents driveway. Delicious. Figs, raisins, leather, dark chocolate and a hint of cinnamon. ARS-OCT-19 Vigia. Sweetbread, vanilla, hay and a slight coriander note. 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk I don't have an exact answer for that, but I'd venture to say its because PCC commissions a higher volume of sticks for production under the Asia Pacific region than other distributors worldwide do. Spain has a very high volume as well. A lot of the time, the more cigars produced, the more inexpensive the boxes are for purchase and the less flavorful/desirable they are. This is my personal opinion and I know others share the same sentiment. However, people do seem to have negative things to say about these RG88's but I've really enjoyed the box I have so far. I'm sure lots of others on the forum would have a far better explanation of your question however. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I did assume that the Asian market gets a much higher number of ER's than other regions and also noticed Spain gets a lot too Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't able to get my hands on any. Happy birthday! Great smoke to enjoy for the occasion! It was a good cigar but I think most of AF higher end stuff is good. I think if I see it again I would buy one or 2 singles. I wouldn’t chase a box at the prices B&M are selling singles for.

Haven't been able to find them anywhere. Got a pack of Kings from my local B&M, but don't think they compare. I enjoy the RSG's a lot, so figured these would be good for a different size. Also, I've become a big Crowned Heads fan lately. 1 hour ago, NicPac said: CoLa and the PGA. I never thought we’d see Phil the leader after 54 again in a major. Could be an exciting day. Looking good, Nico! Great way to celebrate the final round. Fingers crossed Phil can pull it off (IMO).. Just saw him dunk that sand shot on 5!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post FlyingGlass Posted May 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2021 First Montecristo Especiales No. 2 for me. Thoroughly enjoyed the delicious sweet and dark cocoa flavors with a bit of cream and occasional baking spice. Wonderful chocolatey, nutty aroma and a great draw paired with morning coffee, beautiful weather and good 2 hour Sunday morning conversation with my wife on the patio. Sorry for the extreme focus pic. Finished working the garden this morning and nobody wants to see my hands/nails at the moment. 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ZigZauer Posted May 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2021 Right after dinner I smoked a 2010 Monte Open Junior. Pretty straightforward and good smoke. Then at night a Davidoff Selecccion 702 from 2009. To be honest I reason I still have some of these around was they were not that great when fresh. Over a decade turned the cigar from average to wonderful. All kinds of sweetness almost overwhelmed me.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Greenhorn2 Posted May 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2021 This is a cigar that came in last year that was a total loss, destroyed. Glued it back together and let it lay about 6 months. I can't believe this thing is actually burning , much less superbly. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
