Cigar smokers?

I recently pulled out some '97-99 Monty #2's, Diplomaticos, Cohibas, Punch etc. I didn't expect the same "punch" but I just didn't get the refined flavors on the other end.

Your experience?


IMO, RASS is one of the more "under the radar" habano's. It is a very solid smoke. The one I just has was from 2010, it could use some time, but still smoking very fresh.

I has a Cohiba Siglo VI 08' two nights ago and it knocked me through a loop, what a terrific stick.

Im not much into Punch, the diplo's are hit or miss. The Monte #2 is a outstanding smoke, but they have issues from time to time with construction, when they are on, it may be the best stick out there however.

Have you had the new Behike?

Yes, all it takes is a slight twist of the ligero, and those Monty's will seize up. When they're on though--spectacular. I agree that the Diplos are hit and miss, much like the La Glorias.

I haven't had the Behike yet. I take it you recommend? I'm looking for some fresh Trinidads, but it has been a while since I've spoken to my "source" so I'm not sure what to pay.

I'd have to say the one thing that is smoking pretty well (aged) are the original Fuente Anejos.

The Behike is very nice, smooth!! It will be better in a few years for sure. Depending on the price, I would highly recommend it. But the Siglo VI is one hell of a stick at half the price.

I love Trinidad, the Reyes and Coloniales are very good. I have not had the Robusto in some time, but its hard to go wrong with a Trini. The quality of the cigars construction is top notch.

Bolivar is another one, the RC's and BF's are typically consistant and reliable.

Can't go wrong with Fuente, probably my #1 NC.

Dunder, which size? Ive had the 52 and 54. I think you will be a happy person this weekend! Can't wait to hear your thoughts.

marcb7, the 54. I understand there's also a 56 which is a bit more difficult to source. The Behike Saturday, Maduro 5 on Sunday, and kicking the weekend of with a Bolivar RC. All 3 will likely be accompanied with either Ardbeg Uigeadail or my trusty Lagavulin 16.

I noticed that you mentioned earlier being a fan of the MC #2, if you have chance to try the 2010 EL, it is one heck of a good smoke. Like a #2 on roids.

I'm also not sure I have ever had a 56. Confused
I don't think I have either. Looks like a two hour smoke. Eek

I would love to try one. We will have to grab KSC02, marcb7 and others to try this cigar.


Sounds fun to me...I had a chance to source a box of the 56's, but dont have much of an opportunity to sit that long unfortunately...so opted for the 52's and 54's. Although, I do have a bunch of HdM's Double Corona's...those can push 2 hrs, and they are a excellent medium bodied smoke, matches very well with Macallan 18!!
