Which Cojonu should I buy?

[zirotti]

Looking to pick up a box ahead of the wedding. Which do you guys think is the better smoke? 03, 06, 09?

I know it's subjective.

'03 is the best IMHO

 

[Goalee1]

Second on the 03. G1

03 gets my vote

 

[mtbarista]

I'll be different. I really prefer the 09.
Congrats on the nuptials

03's the best of the ones listed. I havent tried a '12 yet but the book gimmick sucked me in

09 all of the way. IMO the 09 has the sweetest most coffee esque profile of all of all the cojonus (especially with age). I have a box from July 2010 right now that is just plain awesome.

Smoking the 03 right now. Pretty good stuff. Might just pick up a single 06 and 09 to try

the point on age is probably very important - I had my first cojunu, an 06, at a b&m that totally blew me away. I would really say that that stick changed the way I think of cigars - creamy smooth, really distinct cocoa through the nose in the 2nd half. I recently picked up a couple of of 03 and 06 to compare. After trying the 03 one, I found that first 06 stick to be overwhelmingly better.

Last night, I lit up one of the 06 I got this time, and it too was underwhelming, although I could taste some of what I had remembered - just a lot more muddled

I don't want to draw any conclusions as I am a cigar newb, but I'm guessing it has to do with age, since the first 06 I had was from the last from the box that was there

03! 06 comes in a close second. had an 09. don't remember it. haven't had the 12.

 

[Herfin' Harg]

Had 'em all. I'd try the 03, then both of the '12s.

 

[c1ark]

+1 for the '03

 

[Danilo]

2003, it's one of my favorite smokes, if not my all time favorite.

 

[CO Smokes]

03 all the way

09,03,06

Love the spurgeon quote, vivalanation734

 

[zirotti]

Thanks fellas!

Now, any place to score a deal on a box of 03s?

'03 for the longest time was my favorite Tat but the '12 Broadleaf has surpassed it. What a great smoke it was.

 

[whodeeni]

Havent Had any of the 12's but I've smoked the '03, '09, and '06!

I say go for the '06! Followed by 09, and '03. Congratulations brotha!:thumbsup:

+1 to this...I LOVE the '03, but I think the '12 Broadleaf is a touch better...can't wait to see what it will be like with some age on it.
