Which of the LEs do you look forward to the most ?

[tubaman]

Interested in the Mag 48, just a bit!

 

[RobustoMoe]

Mabrook homes.. and you let us pick just one? I'd go with the Bolivars though if I saw the Trini's I'd definitely pick em up no doubt.

Thanks bro. aiming for your record okemyeye regarding the pool, I guess that I'd go for the same choice of sticks if I come across 'em in my B&M

 

[terrantheman]

Thank you shuckins ! :eyebrow:




Out of curiosity, how much does a stick retail for in Canada ? :eyequiver

Moe I've heard in some places you're lookin' at paying somewhere around $30+ for lets say a Monte #2

 

[gibbleguts]

Well here they are $28.95 for a monte #2, $34.50 for a robusto T, and $43.95 for a robusto extra. Are very high prices mean that the retailers can't tack on the extra for being new.

Not really a fan of many EL's, but I'm going too have to have a go at the R&J Duke.

Now if you want to talk RE's..........

That and $13 packs of cigarettes, $14 six packs of beer, $4 gallons of gas and I am sure there are a few more things is how health care is funded in Canada. I am guessing the UK is fairly similar. No one in government will admit it because "it all goes into general funds" but if you do the math I think the numbers match.

No waaaayyyy !!! Thats extortionate bro !

I am shocked at the robusto T price tag to be honest !!!

 

[hdroadglide]

saw the robusto t's and wanted to try them, but the price is just nuts! so many good sticks out there for less.

 

[BradMc]

Mag 48....But not for that price

 

[Phrankenstein]

Have never tried any LE's or RE's, just the regular lines. I may break down and place an order soon, hope they're worth the extra coins!

 

[Jetexas]

Would like to try them all. The Boli first though...

Well, to be honest, I think that LE's are mostly "hits and misses". For example, the Monte Sublimes EL 2008 does not quite hit the spot for me "considered to be the star of this years EL" while on the hand, cigar connoisseurs swear by the Cohiba Pyramid EL 2006 name. :dunno:

Yeah, in my case it swings between the Bolivar and The trinidad.

 

[smokem94]

I'll let you know how the R&J's are in about 2 weeks!!:ccowboy:

Never been a fan of RyJ but never say never I suppose :applause:

I think that with the sublimes it all came down to potential. They aren't quite ther for me either but all I see in them is potential. I love well aged Monte's at most times and that had to be about the fullest bodied of all. I think in 5 or 10 years everyone will be kciking themselves for not stocking up. I think many people get tool excited about the future potential of a cigar and not how it is smoking right now.

Well, since I am looking for an anniversary "one cigar per year" type of smoke I ought to look into getting a box be fore they start drying out. Thanks for the tip gibbleguts :smile:

I may have to get my hands on the Uppman 48's. The 08 46's and 50's have been on :hearteyes

Had a bunch of 50s as part of last month's cigar shopping list. They are a good bang for the buck type of a cigar but you won't see me running to get 'em. Good to have a couple in the humidor though. Saying that, let us see how well the EL will do in the coming year.
