If you had say... $5000 to burn... what regular productions cc boxes (blend/size) would you purchase for everyday smoking?

I only ask b/c I may have a lot of play money this fall :p
Nicely done, congrats.

Really depends on what boxes/factories are hot this summer. Generally though:
Bolivar Royal Coronas
Cohiba Esplendidos
ERDM Choix
Hoyo Epi 1 or 2
Upmann Royal Robusto & Conni 1
JL1
Monte 2 & Esp 1
Partagas D4 & 898

Punch Punch
RASS
RyJ Wides
SCDLH La Punta or La Fuerza
SLR Serie A or Regios
Trinidad Fundadores

There may be a Robusto trend. Some of these are almost required, especially for you. Punch have been great lately, tbh though Im not sure Id blow the full wad this summer. Maybe get a few this year and see what next season brings? Getting quality, aged boxes is a crap shoot most of the time.

You can keep the Monte 2s
You can keep the RASS (although I do agree on these for John)
Swap the RyJ Wides for Shorts (wides probably better for John too with the wide <see what I did there> range of what he smokes)

How dare you, and after all weve been through. Blasphemer! Excellent Monte 2 are amazeballs and the very definition of a classic cuban cigar.

Its true though, theyre 1/100
I agree that when they are great, they are phenomenal, but they are so few and far between.

I'd take almost any other beli/torp style CC over Monte 2 specifically for that reason, especially RyJ Beli or P2

Maybe three of the best cigars I've ever smoked were Monte 2s. But they were between numerous forgettable ones.
