Of the Maduro range, the Secretos are my favorite. To me, they have a more concentrated flavor that I won't grow tired of in 45 minutes.

Happy bday Ritzy....now smoke a Sobrasaliente will you :p

You can't always judge a book by it's cover. The fact that I haven't participated much on this board doesn't necessarily make me a newb to cigars. I'd naturally take my answer with a grain of salt given the stats. No skin of my back :sign:

I checked a few boxes from '08 and I can't say that I've noticed any additional digit or letter.

Very interesting. I too have had all 4 of these cigars many times over and do agree with the "different strokes for different folks" moniker. In fact I'm smoking a PSD#3 EL as we speak and find it to be smooth, complex and nicely balanced. Maybe your smoke was too young? I would rate the...

I wouldn't cast these off so soon. It's my understanding that the factories use whatever bands are available. So it's indeed possible to have EL's w/ 2003 bands. But the proof is in how they smoke.

I really like the Anejos......very sweet smokes. Almost like molasses :)

I love them both. Consistency of the BBF and the flavor of the Unicos

Mixes well with coke though....but at $25-$30 a bottle, I'll stick with my Captain Morgan and cokes. :0

The Pinars are a bunch of crap.......cuban pre-embargo tobacco just happened to be stored away at the right temp and humidity without being found. Anyhow, I was gifted one......tastes awful. :sign:

I always take 'em off!

Smoke all your domestics and let your habanos age. Once you go to the darkside, you'll never look back. I was smoking so many cubans, I forgot all about my cooler full of premium domestics. Now that they have years of age, I'll smoke those from now on while the cubans nap. Wont; be the same...

Had a few of these. Pricey indeed. A decent cigar but not great. Won't be buying any of these any time soon. :sign:

Had an '01 Monarca last night. Very mild yet complex.......leather and earthy tobacco. Will need to let these age to round out.

Funny, I'd say the same about Opus X ???
