Loving the Party Lusitanias from this last order and I'm grabbing a couple more boxes for myself.

Cohiba Magicos from early "13" are really smoking well.
PSD4's never disappoint me.
HdM Epicure Especiale at 2 years or better are my favorite medium smoke with a hint of sweetness.
HU46. The last few cabs I have gotten have been dark, oily, and delicious.
HUHC's are great when you have a short time.
Boli Royal Coronas-Last few boxes were dark, oily, and delicous.

Latest disappointments:

Cohiba Robustos-Bought a bunch from these last two sales and they were all early "12"'s but they haven't smoked or burned well at all. May just need some time at a low humidity.
Monte #4. Bought another box and the draw is so tight you can't smoke them. Happens to me everytime with this one! Don't know why I buy them.
Bolivar Belicoso Finos. I guess I am just used to the powerhouse that this cigar used to be and it's highly disappointing to smoke any from the past few years now.

Nice of you to start us off Kimmer....long time no see! Same to your fam as well brother. Can't argue with the smoke choices either. RASS & SD4s would be right up there for me as well.

Get out in that cool North Idaho air & light one up tonight!

the thought crossed my mind, but it is cloudy, rainy and on the cool side. Not too bad right now, but temp is starting to drop rather fast. The good news is that most of my ccs are now reaching good buring years. I think the newest cc stick I have is from 12, most are 07 or 08.

Glad life is treating you well.

CoRos need a minimum of 4-5 years IMO to get the quality of smoke you'd expect & deserve for the price.

Magicos probably smoke better young as these aren't in the normal Cohiba profile at all to me. More like an EL or an NC Maduro to me. Personally never cared for em, but glad to hear they're smoking well for you Pro.

Yeah I don't care for the Genios but I find the Magicos and Secretos to be excellent. Most don't like them though.

Best CC I ever smoked was an '09 H Upmann 2 that you sent me, Kyle. It will have some competition, though -- as soon as I get into the others you sent. I'm being patient.

I've enjoyed RASS, PSD4, Monte 2, Trini Reyes, and JLo2 recently. All were from '13 and could probably have benefited from some age.

I've got a ton of smokes from Pro but I don't know how old they are, so I haven't gotten into them yet.

Has anybody had the Cohiba Lanceros or the Monte Especiales? Got my eye on those as I love that vitola.

That box of 09 Upmann 2s has been one of the best boxes of smokes I've ever purchased. Also at the very top is a box of 08 Monte Petit Edmundos, 09 Monte 2s (best Monte 2s I've ever seen in person), an 08 box of Cohiba Robustos & an 09 box of Siglo IVs. That's just counting the 25 ct. boxes.

Haven't smoked a ton of young stuff (12, 13), but from what I've experienced & also read, Cubans are WAY more approachable young now....more so than they ever have been. Definitely can vouch for that with the Hoyo Epicure 2s. Have a 13' box of punch punch on the way I'm excited about as have heard a lot of positive on that one as well.

Drop me a Pm and let me know what you might want to dump the Montes for. Things are tight but, I might could pull a few rabbits out of the tip jar if I have a few good weekends now that tourist season is upon us. Might be a few at a time till I can clear you out of the disappointing ones.

Hmmm...........

I think a gatta agree with Wheel on the Esplendidos. I keep looking but haven't found anything that quite tops it. And yes, dang expensive.

Tops for me are (not in any certain order):

Bolivar Belicoso Fino
Bolivar Corona Gigante (MACS turned me on to these a number of years ago)
San Cristobal de La Habana La Punta
PSP2
PSD4
RASS
Monte 2
Cohiba Siglo VI (this one is close to the Esplendidos for me) And also friggin expensive. I used to be able to get them for a couple hunnert, then all the sudden the skyrocketed.

You Espy ho's need to find yourself a nice Colorado rosado H Upmann Sir Winston. Pure bliss.

Had an interesting read on the FOH forum about the Espy and Sir Winston lately. Bottom line was that their were implications that they were the exact same cigar. And why Hababos SA doesn't release as many Sir Winston...because they can get far more $$ by putting a Cohiba band on em. No factual proof was ever provided, but certainly an interesting theory.

I don't know where that speculation comes from but other than the size I see no similarity in the two. Sir Winstons have been hit or miss for me for many years now. Nice flavors and very disappointing in the same box from '07.

The Esplendidos from '07 and '09 have both been wonderful and consistent.

Others I have been loving recently:

PLPC from '05
JL#2 from '08
SCDH Officios from '05 (original release)
ERDM Choix Supreme from '09 (these have a great smell of flowers and earth)

Dissapointment: RyJ Wide Churchills from '10

The ERdM from 09....I gotta agree with that, will be very, very sad once that box is gone.

Cuaba Divinos
Juan Lopez Seleccion No. 1
Trinidad Reyes

but so many other fine Habanos out there as well.
