A few years ago I bought a sampler box of Siglo Limited Reserve from here. I remember seeing it and thinking it was super cheap (around 2-3 bucks a stick) and decided to snag it. It came in and I smoked one a thought they were terrible! Taste was awful and burn was worse! Put them in my desktop humi, which is where I keep my yard gars and sticks that I share with people who don't really like cigars but want to have a smoke. I did some rearranging the other day and saw one of them and didn't think much. It is rainy here today and have my first day off in a very long time and decided to have a smoke in spite of the cold and damp weather. I remembered the Siglo and snatched it up and burned it. Holy crap, this was one of the best smokes I have had in a LONG time. It had woody/chocolate nutty taste and the burn was perfect. Amazing what 3-4 years did to this stick! I have had many up the higher $$ Tats,Viaje, Fuente, Padron, etc and this smoke was up there with them. Makes me wonder what other gems I have in the desktop 🤔

This story inspired me to grab one of the first sticks I purchased. RP fusion
I have only had them for 4 months and smoked one whrn I first received them.
Same experience. Awful...
Fired one up today. Transforming into a good smoke. Nutty, with a rich tobacco sweetness.

I have noticed a change in my taste for beers as well since I began enjoying cigars.
I no longer like Coors, or bud light.. Way too sweet.
I enjoy the pale ales, porters and stouts much more.
I think it had something to do with branding as well.

Cigars enjoyment is a time for life reflection, soul searching, and human bonding.
When you start looking at life this way, you stop feeding into the Mainstream egotistical BS
That the media once you to..
And you start enjoying what you want to, what makes you feel good.
For we are all different, and as long as your surrounded by people who agree to disagree,
It's a perfect harmony....

Just read back on my thought.... Damn that chit is deep. I'm nuckin futs fellers!!

I got 5 fusions, figured everyone had different tastes. I thought they were a good 25 cent cigar but figured others might like em. I handed out a few. Maybe I'll try the other one or two I have in a couple months.

Not sure what you mean by lower end PDR stuff, Puffy. I have a lot of PDR's aging and I may set a few of them on fire when I go on vacation next week. The Pinar Del Rio 1878 Cubano especial maduro robusto was damn good a couple of weeks OFT, but I haven't had one in quite a while-I think they were $ 2-3 a few years ago. The fumas are the bottom of the line and I doubt if they would get any better. Did you have any one in particular in mind ?

The reserva limitadas. I pu a box at $43 and figured there might be a reason but I haven't had a chance to spark it yet (too many waiting in line ahead of it, good problem to have).

I like most of the Diesels and Nubs when they are on a great deal! Great daily smokes!

A Diesel Shorty with some extended rest behind it is a great knock-around cigar. Perfect for working on a car, etc........they smoke well, taste good, and are tough as heck....you can drop em, bump them, ignore them for 5 minutes, come back, and it's still smoking perfectly.

I 3rd it from the one I had. Left it rigged in my car at the post office, took it on a road trip, brought it back and used it for yard work. The nic from the solomon would be too much for my likings for an everyday. I know there's different vitolas but I have bought what I've bought. And I won't be purchasing for a bit. I'm looking more for what to leave alone and what to smoke. Again, it might just be my need to try it out myself short of listing for all to see. Feels like flashing someone though. Who did that recently? Gotta check it out. The huge purchaser!!!

Im a fan of most of the diesels I've had. But the NUBs, not so much. Do they improve with time? Seems to me they're sorta promising, but never deliver, just kinda string you along for it to get to the flavors it hints toward but before they arrive, its done.

The reserve limitadas are pretty good ROTT. I'll see if I can find some and see how old they are. I may take them on my trip. The reserve limitada selection 10 are super spicy with little age and someone recently said here that they were sickeningly spicy. I love 'em.

It's said to start off at the sweet spot. I personally think it delivers there. It was great as it first lit up, and for the most of it as well. It just wasn't satisfying. And for me it burned hot too fast. Am I double posting?

Hey Tony, let me know about that age factor. I'm gonna bury 3-5 boxes of different smokes and it'd really save me trouble to know up front on these.
