Sorry if I worded it poorly and you misunderstood.

I do buy CoRo's fairly often, and also the Siglo II and Especiales, but that is all I have ever had.

I do have a 2012 Esplendidos I was given, but it will be my first of those.

Let me know what you think of the 2012 Espy.  And it may or may not be your cup of tea either.  We all have different palates, and that is OK.

There is a difference between liking it, and recognizing it's uniqueness.  That is all I was trying to say.

Sounds like my day.  I just bought new clubs.  I was smashing the ball with the Calloway Epic Max and the Epic 3 wood.  On one of our par 5s, I was lying 2, just 10 feet from the green (used to be 100 yards out with my old clubs).  
I still ended up with a 6.

Never fails. And that’s why we keep playing the game.
Happy Father’s Day Elliot. Enjoy that behike.

Will do.
Wish I have had a fresh one to compare to, but about 2/3 of the aged stock I have been given are ones I have never tried recent production of, so the benefits of the age on them gets lost on me with those.

I have pretty high hopes for the Espy, as I see them mentioned quite often, and they always get high praise, so its logical to assume that they are an exceptional cohiba, and would likely be highly prized with this amount of age I would think.

When I get my pension next week I may try and buy a fresh one off someone on another forum that is great for finding hard to get smokes, as well as singles and mixed fivers and such of pretty much anything you could be looking for.

Given their popularity, finding one should be pretty easy

Also, I understand now what you meant when you mentioned that my wording confused you.

I certainly do recognize the uniqueness of all the marcas I have had. Every one of them has a unique taste, which is why I value having as much variety as possible in my stash and only buy multiple singles or 3,4 or 5 packs of things instead of boxes.

I couldn't even tell you how many different marcas and vitolas I have in my stash currently, but its a lot, and there are only a few that I have more than 2 or 3 of because they were ones that became all-time favorites and wanted to be able to smoke regularly.

I smoke 1 Cigar a day only typically, and my tupperdoor with a months supply never has the same marca and vitola in it, so I don't have to smoke the same cogar twice in a month or 2, which I really like.

And everyone definitely has a different palate. It obvious in every thread asking for opinions on a Cigar, and in the daily smoke threads.

I was a cigarette smoker for 30 years and just quit about a month ago (that's actually how I got the Espy, as a prize for quitting), and am still waiting for my palate to improve like I'm told by other ex smokers that it will in time

Gotta check the balls, they go for those dark areas.  BIC lighter that sucker if you find one.  Rubber bands over your golf pants can work too.  Siglo III is my favorite so far.    

Hope he plucks it off the balls before the bic lighter treatment. Lol

In my opinion, not anywhere near today’s prices. I could say that about alot of things these days! I often think to myself if I were ever to sell some of my inventory which cigars would I sell to take advantage of the crazy market we have today. I can’t think of anything better than a BHK. It’s the Cohiba effect on steroids. But to each their own, they’re very good cigars generally speaking... though the ring gauge on the 54/56 is a bit much for my taste. If I had a budget of ~$150+ for a cigar, though, there certainly are other places I’d spend my fortune.

Thanks.
Kinda the answer I expected.
The prices of them, and most cohibas in my opinion, are just crazy, and there are plenty of other cigars that are just as good if not better.
I have a self imposed $25 limit for a single cigar, so there are only 3 Cohibas I ever smoke, and tons of others I like just as much for less money.

My opinion of BHK 56 is that they are terrific tasting, flawlessly made cigars.  I can't fault the cigar for its price.  It's hard to justify paying so much for a cigar but it's also a superb treat that I look forward to when I want one - like today 😁  When the box is empty, it will be a challenging decision to buy another, but that doesn't mean I won't.  CPE, Sig V, and Espy, will always be in my inventory though; I consider each to be worth every penny.

Cohiba Exquisitos

Insanely tightly rolled. Had a hard time even lighting in, then couldn't get any smoke from it at all until I cut it in half and smoked it that way.

Still very tasty, but definitely a disappointment overall

1946 Country Club Perfecto Clear Havana

Definitely made up for my disappointing Cohiba earlier.

Extremely tasty and perfect draw,burn and construction.

Was a delight to smoke.

Definitely glad I have another left as it was the best of the vintage Cigars I was given so far by quite a bit.

And extremely yellow cellophane when I took it off

'03 Montecristo No.2

Same great taste as my beloved recent production ones, but much more smooth, mellow and subtle.

Excellent smoke.

Burn kept getting a bit off the first half, but corrected and stayed that way in the second half.

I have this exact one in my cart to try out with my next order. Always gets rave reviews, so figured I should finally try one

Yeah, yeah…I know.  But seriously though.  Seriously.  Thanks to @jdackerman for putting up the auction - a special cigar for a special day

Happy Father’s Day…played nine with my son and now watching US Open.  Great day for a golfer.

Cracked a fresh 50 cab this morning. LGR-ENE-18. Smoked beautifully on the course in the stifling hot temps. 

Thanks to you doc, @SigmundChurchill for this delicious Siglo IV.  First one I’ve had and almost wish I didn’t smoke it. Now I might blow more $ than I’d like on smokes 🤣 

 

Happy Fathers Day to all you dads out there!! Stay Smokey.

Best Monte 4 I've had in a while. Great draw, 80 minutes, rich flavour and great smoke output.
