Which Cubans require less aging?

[heavyd]

I haven't bought Cubans in about 3 years, but I am gonna get a couple boxes. I don't have space to store them for years though. Any sugestions about which ones generally are ready to smoke sooner rather than later? Tks

I'll tell you the regular production cigars that have smoked great for me fresh the last couple years:

RyJ Belicosos, Wide Churchills
BBFs
Monte Double Edmundos, Edmundos
Ramon Allones Superiores
Trinidad Vigias
Punch 48s
SLR Regios

The last box of RASS i bought were dated 2018 and are ready to go. The punch punch used to be really solid as well. It’s been a while though.

Last box of HUHC I purchased earlier this year were 2018, and have been smoking great. Choose a vendor that has the date codes available before purchase.

Good info gents, thanks. Punch 48s were on my list. Nice coincidence

My youngest CC’s are NOV 19 Hoyo palmas extras and they’re smoking great - not super fancy, but highly underrated IMO

Hey Dave! I'll store them for you. Get as many as you want!

The only CC's i've had that perform poorly young are Montecristo #2's. They give me gnarly tongue bite when young.

I always have a box of SLR Regios on hand, they are fantastic young.

Just recently, I came across a box of my favorite Partagasin 898, so out of ten - 4 with a cork.

Another vote for the regios. Personally my favorite CC.

 

[Nacho Daddy]

if you find the Regios, please let me know.

hard to find for a while now.

I’m smoking an April 2020 monti 2 from down under that I’ve had for 6 days and it’s fantastic. YMMV

Petit edmundo
Party shorts
Hoyo petit robusto

Have been really good fresh-ish for me this year.

 

[heavyd]

I bought RA Superiores, Punch 48, a cab of Party shorts, a 3 pack of Partagas culebras. Looking forward to them all. Thanks for the suggestions.

The one that you are currently smoking.......what did I win

I've loved the way the R&J Short Churchills are coming out with 2019 box codes.

The R&J Cazadores are great mongrels when young, if you're into that.

I've also found the current production of Upmann Mag 54s and half coronas to be pretty approachable off the bat, the hc's having a bit of bite the first 6 months.

Monte PE's also smoke well without much rest.
