Good choices......On to a Dip2 nowI prefer the #4 with.some Remy.
Or an RJ Robusto
When a #2 is right, there are few better. Couldn't put the last one I had from 2006 down last month.Enjoying a nice MC #2, with a rum. Gotta entertain myself somehow, living so far away from the fun!:wave:
Very nice! Sadly no aged stuff(1.5 yr max) here, have only started a good collection recentlyWhen a #2 is right, there are few better. Couldn't put the last one I have from 2006 down last month.
Unsealed a 2010 box of MC Open Eagles tonight. Bueno.

I enjoy Cohiba's, the long burn Robusto and Esplandido are two of my favorites. Nothing like a good cigar on the golf course and the few annual trips up north with the guys, fishing and such. Those are pretty much the only times I indulge, except for maybe a couple over Christmas season.I have not had a cigar in years. When I did smoke them it usually was Montecristo. I noticed no one has mentioned Cohiba. Have they fallen out off favour?
Mine go back to 1987 and earlier. I noticed that the new ones don't burn a uniformly as my older ones, presumably because of how they have been rolled. As for flavour, there is nothing like a prioperly aged cigar. However, there is also an optimum age at which they shoudl be enjoyed.All it takes is time
I put a lot down from 2005-2011 and have mostly held back from cracking boxes. Glad now, but it's been tough keeping out of them.

I have never had a chance to try a Cuban Davidoff, but I still scope out humidors I trust when I'm on the island in case one still exists. I understand the Chateau Margaux was an unforgettable experience.Anyone a fan of Davidoff cigars?
I had a Yamasa Robusto recently and cannot justify the high cost, compared to a comparable Havana, of $54.75. Just what is it with Davidoff cigars, anyway? I know that Zino was an expert in cigars, and that he had a falling out with Cubatobaco many years ago. However, I much preferred the Cuban Davidoffs made in the Hoyo de Monterrey factory over the Dominican products that are made nowadays. My favourite from that era, which I have not had in almost thirty years, was the Chateau Margaux.
Another class of cigars form days gone by were from Brazil. Dannemann and Suedieck, the genuie ones from Bahia, not the currently available German-made ones. They were very interesting, and had flavour and aroma all their own. Not even the CAO Basil line comes close. Donna Flora might, but not CAO.I'm with you and very jealous of your most Sr. stogies.
I made the mistake of getting into cigars while I was travelling to Cuba a lot, ensuring a collection built quickly. Since 2010, have changed how/when/where/for how long I vacation and am not in Canada (and in the mood) enough during prime smoking season to really enjoy.
So you could call it aging, or you could call it buying too many 7 or 8 years ago to smoke by myself, either way I'm popular with my friends.

I am not a fan of Dominican Davidoffs, but I've only tried a few.
Usually I try to compare Cubans to Cubans. Everything else to everything else.
