MUO May 15 Robusto Tubo.
 

My favorite Robusto by far, especially the tubos. Could just be all in my head, but I think the Tubos taste better.

Unfortunately with current prices, I wont be having any CoRo's until who knows when

Breaking out the big guns tonight, the 9 year anniversary of when I met my wife…sat next to her on an airplane. When I checked in the kiosk asked me if I wanted to upgrade to first class for $150. Three hour flight I figured I could drink enough that my net cost was closer to $75. My math was way off but I made the right call…luckiest night of my life!

Which Upmann is that? I have never seen that second band before

Good to hear. I have a box marinating in the humidor but have been kind of sceptical about breaking into them too soon.

I only have 1, and haven't looked at the price of them, but will likely be the only one I ever have, so definitely planning to sit on it until about the 5 year mark and only smoke it for a special occasion

2014 Fonseca 1- Brand new box, sampling one ROTT as is customary when you’re as impatient as I am. So far so good. These are great, nice light toasted tobacco with an undercurrent of an almost vanilla bean like flavor that is getting stronger as it progresses. Definitely won’t be the last box I pick up

Really like them too. Just bought 6

Now i have 8 of them and plan to try and make them last as long as possible with the supply problems.

They are 2018's and are very tasty based on the 2 I had from him before

Exclusivo   Much maligned but when you get a good box these are way above average.  I’d take this over any 92 point NC any day. Pro tip: just snip off the perfecto tip and light it instead of huffin’ on the end hoping for some miracle ignition lol

Big fan of the Cuaba flavor profile. I smoke the Traditionales as they are affordable, a decent size, and seem to have few issues like the Divinos I have tried.

Partagas Maduro

Love these but impossible to find in stock anywhere for a long time now, and also pretty expensive

Sounds like Astro from the Jetsons 😆

'16 or earlier Drew Estate Undercrown Maduro Corona Dobles

Very smooth,mellow and tasty.

Cellophane had pretty good yellowing, so I suspect that they are older than 2016

Perfect draw, burn and construction

Always a treat

RyJ Belicosos

Tasty as always and perfect draw and construction.

Burn was fairly bad, not wanting to burn the wrapper and binder well, but it is very windy today, so I expect that was really the issue.

That in consideration, a great smoke as always.

Siglo VI AMP ABR 21

Enjoying this ROTT as I do with most of my purchases. Not a great looking box for this vitola but smoking beautifully. Will see what develops after a long nap.

I have some of these from probably 2013. Can't bring myself to smoke one because I'm scared of how mellow they may be! hah

There's a good likelihood that mine are about that age and while fairly mild and mellow, there was still a fair bit of flavor in it.
Give one a try, I suspect you will enjoy it

They do start off quite mild, but do pick up noticeably in the second half

I'll leave these another 5 years.

N1 Nudie today. Soo good. I can’t wait for the 2021s to roll out

This has gotten better with a bit of time. In CC terms this flavor profile crosses a bit with a Allones and Robaina. A few boxes of 2021 Chefs Edition landed today so I have Davidoff on the mind…

Wonderful MSU DIC 18 Coronas Claros. 

[El Hoze]

First taste of a resting box of UAO SEP 19 Lanceros. Man! Incredible. 

[patrickamory]

Man I want to try a Lancero someday. I've only been smoking Cubans for 9 months, and I don't think I've ever seen one for sale

Lotta Coloniales in this thread recently! 👍

People are always so positive about PLPCs, but I'm three sticks in to a quarter cab I bought in July (don't know the date), and they are just tasting thin and bitter to me. It's a slightly grassy taste that reminds me of SCDH Principes, which I also don't get. No caramel as reported by others. More time, bad luck, or just not to my taste?

The caramel comes with 5+ years of age on these!
