What Cigar are You Smoking?

[cshubhra]

Poor construction plagued initial Viaje releases (chiefly the gold and silver lines), and I never looked back after sampling those. Have been honestly surprised to see the brand still in production. Perhaps they addressed the QC issues?

Not in my opinion... construction issues showed up in the current cigar also ... only a few minutes in

Too many good manufacturers out there to bother with poor QC, especially when paying premium prices.

'13 PLMC. This is the cigar right here where if they discontinue it, I'm d-o-n-e with Habanos SA

Halfway in and just phenomenal. Dried fruit, caramel and earthy tobacco. PLMC has been my favorite for some time and it does not break the bank.

Trying a Curivari Reserva Limitada as a hopeful match for a GrayCliff 10 Year Vintage. No dice. Any suggestions ?

Lol, it is so primed for deletion... Hits every criteria. A skinny, budget-friendly price and from one of the non-Global marcas.

On the other hand, this fairly random panatela being a cult favorite should be a hint to HSA. But I suspect it isn't the hint they're interested in taking, so I guess we just have to hope that maybe management over there isn't even aware of its existence ?

Sorry, but what does PLMC stand for ?

Acid Toast Gold. Less infused than other Acids. Very enjoyable.

Por Larranaga Montecarlo

An excellent Cuban panatela that can be found for $5 a stick or less.

What did you think of it overall? Been meaning to try it after hearing some good things. I have liked the cigars I've had from that Tabacalera Pichardo that Crowned Heads has been working with, especially the Pichardo Clasico with the Ec. Sumatra wrapper.

I've never had the Graycliff 10 Year Vintage, but I looked it up. Looks like it is still available? CT. Broadleaf wrapper with Nicaraguan and Honduran guts. If you're looking for a cheaper alternative, this won't help but the Liga Privada No. 9 has similar components. Same with The Tabernacle. There are plenty of good Broadleaf wrapped Nicaraguans. I suggest Enclave Broadleaf, Jaime Garcia Reserva, and La Aroma de Cuba. Those are all good.

The Honduran Punch Maduros also have Broadleaf wrappers and filler from Honduras and Nicaragua. They are a solid choice for a very fair price.

Hope this helps.
