Recent cigar quality........

[Nacho Daddy]

What quality do you find in recent years' sticks ?

I have not smoked many sticks from '17, '18, '19, or '20, so I have no baseline for comparison.

Which years are best, which to avoid ?

Include which cigars you have tried and box codes if you know them...……..

Why don't you smoke 2017-2020 codes?

I have no complaints about the 2019 and 2020 smokes I've had

17-18 have been pretty great across the board. Haven’t been disappointed in most of the 19’s I’ve tried either.

I think they’re great, but as many of you know, it was just a couple years ago that I went hard down the CC slope. So not much to compare to.

I will say though, it seems that I used to use my perfect draw a lot more frequently than I have been lately. 18’s and 19’s are quality construction, in my experience

I've got only 18's & 19's. I used to have lots of draw/burn issues until I dedicated 2 humi's to 62% and put all my CC's in them. Now while the burn/draw issues seem much less I swear the flavors that drew me into CC's have faded somehow. To note I have never had any aged CC's to compare them to. It is also possible that with a diverse smokes I have been adding to my inventory (mostly small batch) have been so good (very flavorful and usually stronger) that I simply don't find CC's as good as I once did. Either way My vote on newer CC's is that they are average smokes, good to have around for that unique CC flavor, but not the "all that" I used to think they were.

Just about everything I've smoked with the MSU and the LGR codes has been stellar.

I've been enjoying everything from 17 to 19, not encountered any 20 stuff yet.

Agreed, 19s imo are smoking great
