Your Best RE's Smoked To Date

[Light this!]

Alright, just an off shoot on where we left off on the Next CC Star thread. What are the best RE's that you have smoked to date? These don't have to be readily available. I do enjoy LE's but find myself gravating to the RE's and think that most resemble the regular production cigars in terms of flavor profile. I'm definitely on a RE trip lately.
 
I also have to update my take on where I think the best RE's come from. I now say that the best for me are UK, Italy, Germany and Spain. But big ups to France and Asia.
 
My three best are.
 
1. 07 PL Magnifcos UK RE
2. 09 Bolivar Especiales No.2 German RE
3. 2011 La Escepcion Italy RE
 
So what are yours so far?

 

[CigSid]

This is a good one...
 
1.) Punch Robusto RE 2005 Suiza Amazing...
2.) PL Magnificos Magnificent
3.) Bolivar Especiales #2 Superb
3.) Tied with the Bolivar is the PL Robusto Superior RE Andorra

I haven't had a bunch of RE's yet, though I do have a few already named in waiting.
 
So my list is basically what I've had......
 
Bolivar Short Bolivar (this thing is damn good) (Asia)
 
Ramone Allones Celestiales Finos (Asia)
 
Por Larranaga Encantos (Asia)
 
Apparently I like Asians........stop it Freebern, not what I meant.

They make you feel tall, that's why.
 
 
 
 
I haven't had a lot of REs either, I have more experience with the LEs, but these worked for me:
 
Vegas Robaina - Petit Robusto (Portugal)
 
Bolivar - Short Bolivar (Asia)
 
Juan Lopez - Short Torpedo (Caribe)
 
Seems I like them either short or petit....hmmmm.

La Escepcion Italy RE
Bolivar Especiales No.2 German RE
JL Obus RE

Yes, the Obus are very good. I only bought a fiver to try them out and really enjoyed them. I have finally found a box and will probably pull the trigger on these.
 
Wyatt, both the Encantos on Short Boli's are good as well. 
 
 

 
I haven't had a lot of REs either, I have more experience with the LEs
 

 
 
Brandon, that's my next thread bro. 
 
BTW, I'm smoking as I write a phenomenal LFDC Short Robusto 2010 UK RE. This one might be tied up there with the La Escepcion for sure - freaking outstanding!

Anything helps!

Brandon, are those JL Caribe RE's that good that they are worth paying a pretty penny for? I have an opportunity to pick up a box but are pricey. Let me know brother - thx.

 

[bfreebern]

I thought they were very good, not sure about a pretty penny though

Go easy on the Bieb love. You lost the olympic hockey game bet so you keep him remember ? Lol

Bill yeah I did ! To be honest there are a couple of RE Can that I was itching to add like the petit Robaina but the Simones is by far the best I smoked to date. A shame I started smoking after they released it... Sigh

 

[Danforz]

Is there one that has near unanimity in its praise? 

 

[Light this!]

Is there one that has near unanimity in its praise? 

 
 
I would say the Bolivar Especial No. 2 German RE and the La Escepcion Italian RE
 
 
While on the subject, I think I have to add the RA Eshmouns & Phoenicios Lebanese RE's and the PL Regalias de Londres UK RE to this list as well. These were all damn good.
 
My revised list is:
 
1. PL Magnificos UK RE
2. Bolivar Especial No. 2 German RE
3. PL Regalias de Londres UK RE
 
And big props to these as well:
 
La Escepcion Italian RE
Eshmouns Lebanon RE
Phoenicio 32 Lebanon RE
