Thinking about getting a box. 15 ct box from 2005 for 135. Never had a mag 46, I know some of you like them. Are they a pretty mild cigar? Wonder what 8 years of aging has done for them.

Same here. I bought some (5 or 10, I forget) from a fellow cbidder a couple years ago (including some RASS). It wasn't a "WOW" moment, but I smoked them all (including the RASS) relatively quick...and miss them both. I think I smoked most of my Upmanns during my morning commute. I think they'd make a good morning smoke w/ coffee.

If you haven't before, you should also look into the Por Larranaga Petit Corona (PLPC).

Have some 46's. Medium at best- floral. Glad to have tried but don't know if I'll go after more. Just got some No. 2's that smell amazing.

I never let myself run out of these. These are one of my top 3 CC's. I have some from some different years.

I've had a bunch of "06"'s that really hadn't changed much from the "09"'s and "10"s that I've been smoking.

They are medium but they have a great deal of flavor and they don't seem to lose anything with age.

Bought a box for my daughter's birthday last fall, they were a huge hit, and still have a few tucked away for their first anniversary. Enjoyed them so much I went for a second box, and they are smoking great. (Sorry, but I don't keep track of box codes.)

Also one of my favorites. Medium but flavorful and consistent. I have not seen vintage Mag46 up for sale very often but that seems like a decent price for aged stock.

That price sounds right. I would pick those up for sure. Top 3 Cuban to me. I have no experience with LE's mind you.

Looks like these have a pretty good following. Upon further searching i ended up going with a box of RyJ no 4 from 04 and a cab of hdm les dieux from 03 and still have some RASS on the way. Needles to say i dont need to be buying any more cigars for a while next box purhase will definitely be the 46s though.

How's the shipping part going? I have a box of Bolivar Belicosos Finos and Vegas Robaina Unicos that are stuck in customs for about 3 weeks now.

With the vendor i use i usually get delivered under 2 weeks although the longest has been just under a month. My RASS made it to NY in 2 days, which is unheard of from my experience.

Everything seems to be taking longer at NY. Had a box get there on the 2nd and no movement. I wouldn't worry though, my last one took 3 weeks to get out of NY from this same vendor.

Let me know how those RyJs treat you. Was very tempted to go through the trouble of picking up a box, but I didn't have the guts.

Did anyone try these from 05. I see a place still has a bunch of boxes from 05 but all I see in reviews is that they mag 46 changed in 08 and previous years were not as good.

For that price I don't think you can go wrong with these classic smokes. I never had one of any age that I didn't thoroughly enjoy.

In my top 5 CC's.I've found these to be one of the most consistent in the Habano's lineup.Always good but IMO the 08's are the best of the best.
