    Cohiba Secretos

    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.

    Box codes from 2008

    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:

    Box codes from 2008

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

    Poker, Padrón, and Cuban EL's

    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...

    Lost My Faith

    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.

    Which is better?

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

    Montecristo Rum

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

    Ever heard of this?

    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:

    My new (to me) strategy

    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...

    Oneoff Campanas 

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

    Punch Monarca

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

    Name Your Top Three

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

    Cuban Rum

    I've had both the HC Anejo and the HC7 and love both. Don't discount the Appleton Estate 21 year old. Not bad at all :)

    SLR Churchill 50 cab

    Grabbed one recently from my '02 stash. Couldn't agree with you more.....very smooth with gobs of flavor. I wasn't too keen on these when I got the box originally but I'm sure glad I let these sleep for a little while before giving up on them.

    Siglo VI

    I had the same experience....I'm thinking they're in their "sick" period. I've buried these deep in the coolerdor not to be revisited for another year! We'll see what a year does to these.
