Hey guys. Placing an order for some smokes tonight. Will be getting few boxes of 10ct. I will be buying a HDM epicure E. and also want to pick up a box of HU but cant decide between royal robusto or mag 54. Can anyone who smoked both chime in and tell me your thoughts? I also looked at mag 50 but i prefer shorter cigars (around 5 to 5 1/2)

Or i can get a 10ct royal robusto and a 3ct of mag54 just to try them. Only other HU ive smoked was a conn#1 but draw was too tight to smoke so cant say if i liked it or not

I'd personally go for the Royal Robusto given that choice. But if you ask 100 people, you'll likely get 50 votes for each.

Don't give up on the Connie 1s, they're a great cigar.

Thanks for the info. Maybe i should give #1 another try. Theyre having a sale on box of 25. Maybe ill pick it up. Would you say that conn#1 is better than royal robusto?

For my palate, absolutely. But again, ask 100 BOTLs and it will probably be 50/50....OK, 60/40, lot of Connie 1 fans on here!

Royal Robusto over Mag 54 for sure. Royal Robusto over Connie 1 as well, though the Connies are much more wallet friendly, especially right now on a certain vendors monthly sale page (6.60/stick.)

Lets see... my palate is different than others as i would pick a connie 1 SLB over anything else mentioned... there are tons of older codes out there. Just gotta put in some research.

But since you had a bad experience with Connie 1s...

I would go with 10 count Royal robustos and 10 count Magnum 54

I have had some killer luck on 54s ... they’ve all been amazing for me so far.

It all began with the supremos and then the Topes... which is absolutely amazing but expensive. The 54s are great, I can see how some don’t like the size tho.

What do you guys think about R&J wide churchill. Took a chance. Never had one before and picked a 10ct box

I hate the size of the Mag 54, but I went through a fiver, and I'm with @ChuckMejia that they're really good.
Can't say I agree totally with his >>>, but I do agree that the Mag 54 is worth a try...and a buy.
