Popular Post eltoroosborne Posted January 12 Popular Post Posted January 12 Ramon Alones Perfectos box date 2023 Had these for a few months and thought I’d light one up. Good pull but young in flavor intensity. Mild smoke today. Will hopefully get better with age. Paired with some orange juice, which was recommended by another remember. Not a bad mix. Word of warning when smoking this one, don’t hold it by the label. Cigar slipped right out and feel on the ground. Made me laugh. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 23

I had one some years back and immediately shoved 'em into a dark and far away corner of the humidor. Is it time to dip in again? 😅

Popular Post Bri Fi Posted January 13 Popular Post Posted January 13 2017 Lusi. It had some decent moments but all the ones out of this box have been generic tobacco flavor. Nothing wow. 19 1 4

Been trying 1 or 2 sticks each year since 2016.. Tis is the best so far...Age has done wonders.. Hope you have a great one too... Cheers! 4 1

The cigar pictured is not a Dante. It’s a Monte Cristo LE from 2016. In yet another stroke of Genius by the marketing arm of HSA, they released both an "Edmundo Dantes" and a "Montecristo Dantes" concurrently. The bands look similar, but aren't the same. Its two different cigars, with VERY similar names. The Belicoso is the "Edmundo Dantes" (brand) 2016 RE for Mexico. The Parejo is the "Montecristo Dantes" (no Edmundo) LE for 2016. The cigar posted above was/is a Dantes, it is NOT an Edmundo Dantes. Clear as mud, right?

The rest are deep in the back of my humidor, they were so bad I would have felt bad trading or selling them off. I'll try to dig one out in the next few weeks to see if mine have improved as well.

Ditto. Smoked just one and recall (a) it tasting foul and (b) the nicotine beating me senseless 😂 1
