I've smoked the regular Pre-Embargo, and they are great for the money. (9.75 for a 5er from JR). I haven't had the Edicion Limitada. Have you smoked from the normal line or no?

Threads started by cephis and RSteve, two people whose opinion I would listen to ( don't always agree with them but their opinions carry weight with me). Let me know Ifn' you do a split.

My bad. Those threads are about the Alts, not the PEGCC.

I've gone through nearly a cab of the PEGCC Epis. I just picked up a pair of the (new?) Gormets (figurado) but have not had them yet. As you probably agree, the PEGCC's are FAR better than the GCC's.
The PEGCC EL's are not an improvement over the already fantastic PEGCC IMO....so, I'd stick to the standard PEGCC's.
As a side note, the PEGCC is actually one of the only Perdomo products I really love....and for less than $2/stick, you really can't go wrong (unless you don't like them and you're stcuk with a cab of 50
) But, maybe this means that if you're a huge Perdomo fan, you could like the EL better. I don't.
Cheers,
Dixie

In general, do you not like maduros?dixieland_conjunction said:I've gone through nearly a cab of the PEGCC Epis. I just picked up a pair of the (new?) Gormets (figurado) but have not had them yet. As you probably agree, the PEGCC's are FAR better than the GCC's.

I wasn't a big fan of these sticks. SMSUCigarGuy had a box of these at one point and almost everystick had a very very long stem in the stick. Because of this the draw on almost every stick was messed up. Would I buy them? Answer...NO.

I love maddies, just not Perdomo as much. Cheers,

Now that is completely opposite to my expereinces with any of the PEGCC - EL or otherwise. Construciton has never been an issue and like I said, I've had close to 50 of the regular PEGCCs. So, I'm TOTALLY surprised if that was a consistent issue for you. I can't really imagine the quality comtrol on the ELs would be less than the regular PEGCCs :\

I had a couple of the GCC's that I really enjoyed, but have not had a chance to try the others. I would definitely be interested in splitting a bundle with someone.

i like the gpecc el. i have the hermoso size. liked the old gpecc with the thin, plain band. i think they changed when they added the fake cuban seal and were not as good. they run about $2/per and are good for that price. pretty full bodied with some earthy-type flavors

I haven't had the Limitadas, but I fear they are rebadged versions of some other Perdomo stick. As for the "Pre-Embargo Counterfeit Cubans": THEY SUCK. Well actually they don't, which presents issues when attempting to smoke them. I did have some luck smoking them after using a pair of needlenose pliers to pull a HUGE stem out of the cigar. I should have known better not to get sucked into another bad Perdomo product. No offense to those of you who like Perdomos (I actually enjoy the Champagnes and Estate Selections).

I like them. Good, strong maduro smoke. If I had any room, I'd get a cab. It might be time to setup another coolerdor (or call Bob).

JR just put these on sale, so I thought I would top this to see if anyone else had tried the Edition Limited

I have had a couple in various sizes.
Burns fantastic
draws easy to medium...nicely imo.
First taste was a lil grassy but smoothed out and definately smoother than the lower lines GCC makes.
The maduro is what I had and maybe a few to six months of rest may be best for these.
I'd buy them again and am in the near future grabbing a cab of the torpedo's.
edit;
Also,I have found with the GCC's that you should stick with the higher ring gauges....45 and above maybe 50 and above or you will have tough time drawing.

Grow a set and stop being so paranoid!
I've smoked the Gordita and the Hermosa's and found them to be quite good. Just make sure you get ahold of the darkest ones out of the box for the best taste!
