What CC used to disappoint you & is now impressive? For me it's the RyJ Churchill. Those that I've smoked, starting with a box of 2004s, were generally pretty bland, but a couple singles from 2012 were strong & loaded with flavor. Impressed me enough to buy a box of 15.

I bought a box of 10 Glass top Espies in St. Lucia. Guy wanted $50 & I wound up paying $30. For display purposes only. Actually kinda cool. :rolling:

Nice review. My 2013s are far from mild. Strong & IMHO better than the 2013 MC#2s.

RA CFs are a good deal. Good strength & flavor & reasonably priced for a RE. I picked up 3 boxes when released. Liked them fresh & smoking great now. A stronger cigar, but that's the kind of cigar I like.

Those Escepcions are great! One of the few expensive cigars worth the extra money- IMHO. :peace: No pictures, but have been impressed with the 2013 MC Especiale #2s. Just ordered a second box. Stronger than the regular 1s through 5s.

Glad you enjoyed Cuba. Hope you got out into the countryside & didn't just stay at the resort. If you like "bolder flavor", try a couple Bolivar Petite Coronas.

You might like RyJ Mille Fleurs. No cooca, but nice spice & usually under $100 a box.Pretty much the same size as MC#4.

At least when I bought them. Opened the first of my 2011 cabs (that's the year- not how many I have):hammersmaWonderful cigar. Strong full flavor & earthy- as a good Bolivar should be. Were around $200 in 2011 & I went large. My go to cigar.

If you have a good relationship with a vendor e-mail him & ask to be notified when something with that code comes in. Some vendors have monthly box code lists you can get on request.

Since I don't like wide cigars, I'll pass on both. The Cohiba Corona Especiale is good enough for me.:peace:

Never a big Punch fan. Only have the D'oro UK Piramide. Like them because they are very different from most other Punch cigars I've had. Even 98 SS#2s didn't do it for me. Traded them away.

None here- maybe since I hadn't posted in a while until yesterday. For the noobs, do a search. There are sites that rate vendors.

Hi guys. December was pretty crazy & I haven't been on the boards much, but I wanted to give a big thumbs up to the 2012 & 2013 RyJ Mille Fleurs. Excellent, full flavored & inexpensive PC sized cigars. In fact, these are MUCH better than my more expensive 2006 RyJ PCs.

Just had a fresh RyJ Mille Fleur. Surprisingly good for an inexpensive PC sized cigar.

The cigars are in pretty good shape for that length of time. A bit dry but not crackling. Still smell very nice. Contacted the vendor & he suggested putting them in the humi for a couple months & then trying one. And, no charge for the box. He was happy I had the honesty to contact him.

Well, well, well. A box from 2008 arrived today. Cigars are a bit dry! :argh:

Snoop Dogg! :rolling:

Current production would be Bolivar PCs and RyJ Cazadore. No longer made? 2002 Partagas Lonsdales.

Pricey for 30 cigars when a box of 25 is $500. IMHO, a very expensive jar. I have enough "stuff" laying around here so I'll just enjoy the cigars. :grin:

I can understand a difference in people's tastes, but I've always found BPCs to be quite earthy. I've had every year since 2002. IMHO, 02, 09 & 11 the best. Haven't opened 12 or 13 yet.
