Bolivar Gold Medal vs. Royal Corona

[Docbp87]

Looking at a box of ten of one or the other. Which would you buy, and why? Which has more potential for aging? Which is better out of the box?

better out of the box is the royal corona and aging is the gold medal.

gold medal is med-full (for cc's) earthy and tobacco in taste with limitless potential in aging, not to mention a staple for most bolivar smokers.

the royal corona is floral and sweet and mild-med, much better out of the box but potential for aging is much less.

I have only had the Gold Medal. It had some age on it and was a fantastic cigar.

Yup to what benday says.

I enjoy the BGM over the BRC if that makes a difference. Just my tastes. I would pick the BGM.

I don't care for the Gold Medals at all. The ones I have had seemed one-dimensional. I love the RC's though.

I'd take the PCs, CJs or CEs over either the RC or GM. Recent years have been outstanding.

Box of RC Tubos, and a 5er of Gold Medals. Gonna bury the GMs way down at the bottom on the humi, and try one in a year, two years, etc.
