2007 and 2008 CC's advice

[Tennessee Dave]

Does anyone know if the Hu Mag 46's, Partagas Lusistanas from these years were good. Any suggestions on box codes? Looking to add two or 3 more boxes of CC's to the stash. Also it seems the JL has a pretty good reputation here in the #1 and #2 vitola though the oldest I can find is from 2014.

The 2008 Luisi's are great - TEB is the mother factory code for that year.

JL is a highly underrated marca IMO -

I can clearly recall my mag party & monty 07 & 08 boxes smoking (fresh) wonderfully bold with tons of character. Prolly silk smooth by now to mosts liking . that years vintage crop is largely most assuredly gold by now - more especially the mags and party's

I recently picked up some SEM NOV 08 Mag 46 Tubos. They are great!

I believe as a general rule that 2008 was considered to be a better year than 2007. I have some Monty Espy 2 from 2008 that are just perfect in every way, whereas the 2007 Bolivar CE I tried was just bland and lifeless. But that is entirely anecdotal and non-scientific.

Also, JL comes to life at 3-5 years, for me anyway. I don't have much experience with the Lusis because they're too big.

Get the 898s!

Yeah, I've been looking at those too. Nov 08 is my son's birth month. Don't think I can swing it though.

Not cheap but definitely tempting

TEB was a great box code from that era. Had some great RASS from that code... Nov 07 I think.... I imagine any Partagas from that code would be awesome.
