Hidden Gems

[TonyRome]

As another year draws to a close I know personally I've smoked some fantastic cigars this year. What I want to know what are some of your hidden gems that maybe didn't get a lot of pub this year? For me it was the Cromag mode 5. What say ye wise men of BOTL?

We say you're a fool!! Just as a general rule...

As for a hidden gem... La Aurora 107 Maduro corona...

Fume de amour or something along those lines from illusione

The new Anejo 888 didn't get much fly, but I think the size and flavor is very good.

As far as releases for 2014, The Buckingham I felt was really solid. Regular production, Emilio AF was pretty good. El Gran Rey are okay most of the time, could benefit from some down time.

Dave sent me an MC Slam earlier this year, and it was amazeballs. Definitely underrated.

Fume D Amor

I feel as so there is some much great knowledge with this group that there isn't much that falls off the radar. Complements to my botl .

Matilde corona

Matilde corona

Yes, top rated for me along with the Fume D'Amour but a true hidden gem has to be the Deisel Delirium. Also (although a release towards the end of the year) I know people have disdain for RP but his new super Ligero lancero is excellent.

I simply loved the mode 5 in the aquitane version. Then again, I'm new and haven't smoked as many different sticks as the rest of the brothers =)

Agreed. Great stick.

Update. Just smoked a La Palina Mr Sam, another hidden gem. Might need some rest, but pretty stand up from the one sample I have had.

 

[UnBanded]

The Guayacan Sabor de Esteli corona is fantastic.

I agree. The mode 5 Aquitaine was phenomenal. I haven't had a CroMag yet, but plan on hopefully scooping a few up soon.

As for something a bit under the radar that I really enjoyed - the Fratello corona.

 

[Sirspanksalot]

Agree on the fratello

Damn near everything was a hidden gem to me this year… I really started getting into cigars this past year, and I really have only had one or two that I just couldn't finish. I have had a few that were not so memorable, and a few that have stood out, but I didn't (and still don't) know too much to know which cigar wasn't talked about much in publications.
