Forbidden X cigars?

[swingerofbirches]

I just checked, I was wrong about it being a Lost City- the box says Forbidden.

You know it's a good day when admitting you were mistaken means saying "oops ... it wasn't a Lost City, it was a 2004 Forbidden X."

I know! My life really sucks today, doesn't it?!?!

My #1 cigar experience ever. Freezing my ass off at 1am on NYE last year smoking a Forbidden 2004.

Not sure I agree. LOVE the annis and am happy to spend the $30 for them a few times a year (I have a local bm that is a promytheus dealer so he almost always has them). But it is so different I cannot compare it to an aged opus. Been wanting to put hands and fire to a Gran Anniverxario.

Okay, this thread got me curious. I pulled out a forbidden '04 and lit it up. Being a toro, it's got a bit more spice than the Perfection X but no real notable flavor differences. Awesome cigar. If they made forbidden petit lanceros, I'd trade my other '04 for it.

Perhaps a minor step up. I still say the ultimate step up are the Don Carlos Edicion de Annivesarios.

Damn you guys, is it not enough I like the most expencive ccs, do you have to get me hooked to the expencive ncs to??

One of the most amazing cigars I have ever had.

 

[dpricenator]

Is that not just an Opus lancero though?

Yep, but still a great smoke :ccool:

Correct, and correct. I did not care for the other Lost City Opus I had, maybe because it was young, but the regular OPUS Lancero is a fav. Besides, it had the Black Forbidden X band, that looks so dope. And we all know a cool band is all that really matters. right?

I've had 3 of the 04's and thought they were very mild and lacked any flavor. Compared to the regular line and even the Lost City (which I found very nice) they are rather and confusingly so, bad. I have 2 left and are letting them get more age, I've had them going on 3 years now. I figure maybe when they reach 5 or so I'll dig in again.

Ha I have some and didn't know it until organizing my opus humidor into a bigger unit! well same unit but into boxes and adding a lower unit, same thing anyway!

Yeah... finding those Lanceros hasn't been a fun/successful task...

sigh.

Forgot about the Senior Blend.

Ya, I meant the Don Carlos Edicion de Aniversario. Is $30/ea the going rate for those?

If you need one of those DC Lanceros, I will bring you one to the next Dallas Herf
