Smokes well ROTT?

[DanLAXX1]

Hey guys, my friend is having a Jack & Jill baby shower at his parents house on September 10th. He left me in charge of getting a box of 10 cigars. I'm kind of pressed for time so I was wondering what's smoking well ROTT now? He wanted something similar to a corona gordo (or slightly bigger) in size and medium-full in strength.

A few that I was thinking was: Monte 2, Party P2, RA Superiores, HURR...

Any thoughts or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!!

If you can find a 10 box of HdM Epi Especial. Or maybe Mag 46 or 50. All come in 10. All solid off the shelf. Maybe Monte 4 as well.

I'd say pass on Monte 2. But RA Sups would be good too.

To be honest, I purchased a box of Sups yesterday but am having second thoughts about it for the shower. I just want the best for my friend, which is why I'm contemplating buying another box that might be better suited for what he asked.

I would go with something in tubos to smoke rott. Montecristo tubos are a fine cigar.

too numerous a bevy of potential factors make it very tough call for the sure thing .

However , put a gun to my head , id most def try going north to order - avoiding long transit times .
as nothing more will greater morph a cigar's chemistry to dull muted wonky smoke.

Top picks- Party Serie E No.2 (5) x2 or Partagas 898 Cab (10)

Can never go wrong with P2 or D4 imo

Upmann Connie 1s if they're big enough.
The Party Anejados are really good but a little pricey.
Tubos are always a nice touch, and most of the robusto format ones have smoked pretty well ROTT for me.
Lots of good suggestions above, though I agree the Monte 2s can be inconsistent.

I've bought RyJ Churchill tubos a couple of times and recommended them with good results. Definitely available in boxes of 10.

You have 18 days to purchase and get the RH reacclimated after their journey. That's a tall order. Move fast brother.

It's not my intention to rain on your parade, but unless you know someone you can purchase direct from I'm not sure your order will arrive in time. You may have to go with a backup plan and go the NC route.

No rain here, I know it's not an ideal situation. I have a box of Boli RC tubos from my personal stash that I might be able to use if all else fails. Only problem w that is, it's a touch smaller and stronger than what he wanted.

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys. Everything has been great so far! The one thing I have going for me is that there will only be 5 or 6 people smoking a cigar. Of those, only my friend and I smoke cigars w some regularity so there's a good possibility that the others wouldn't be able to tell if it was ROTT or not.

With that said, he was the best man at my wedding and this is his first child so I want to do the very best I can for him.

Got a little sidetracked there but thanks again for the suggestions everyone. Keep them coming!

In a perfect world, the sticks I ordered will arrive by the 31st the latest. Is ten days too short to acclimate to my coolidor? Kind of a noob question but I've always had the luxury of resting them for at least 45-60 days before smoking one.

10 days is better than nothing. And considering you will be with good friends celebrating the birth of a child, all will be fine. There will be food, drink and laughter. No one will care much if the cigars are not spot on. Have a great time celebrating a new life with your buds.
