Is there something undesirable about this particular cigar? It appears to be the only 2003 EL still available. I have smoked the D, and I love it - will I be equally happy with the C? Any advice would be appreciated.

BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Why are Montecristo C's still available?
- Thread starter pharmgator
- Start date
When the C was first introduced it was accompanyed by a lot of mixed reviews. I suspect sales where not subtantial.pharmgator said:
I recall being in the minority and liking this cigar when introduced.
The Cs are smoking better now than when released - no surprise there. I liek the size and the cigar in general.
The D is impressive in that it is an EL that I enjoyed ROTT.
I've smoked maybe 6 and I've enjoyed them but I know people that have had bad experiences with them, both contruction and taste. I think the fact that they have mixed review is enough to keep people away from an expensive cigar.

With the exception of the D, the Monte EL's have all gotten mostly bad reviews when first released, but as they age, they begin to come into their own. My box of C's won't be opened up for another 5 years or so. They should be pretty good then!
I agree that they are much nicer now than when they were released. The problem (in my opinion ) is that Habanos lauched too many things in a very short period of time......and......they are too expensive to compete with other LE's that were launched!!!
Thanks guys - I went ahead with the order. Also add ERdM choix supreme (hopefully not to light for my tastes), Montecristo D, And RyJ Hermosos #2 - what do you guys know about these?
