CC Lonsdales

Wow everyone thanks for all the info! Not going to get into the debate but now I have several choices to try. Too many options and not enough money...

It be like that sometimes

The best lonsdales are all discontinued, so this topic just bums me out.

So true. If it isn't a fat ring gauge with double bands they killed it off

Technically,according to the old ways, Lonsdales topped out at 40 rg.
before the CCW was written.
nice try.

meeoww to you.

42 rg X 6.5 official lonsdale (Cervantes) size from the 80s on (maybe the 70s). No idea about prior.

Yes but considering the low quality of the lonsdales they were putting out before being discontinued, I sure don't miss them. Not many Upmann or Bolivar Lonsdales I had from the late 90s through the late 00s had good draw or good tobacco for that matter. Partagas 898V had a few exceptional boxes, but equal amount of shitty ones as well. LGC was the exception IME. Don't know how they could have shipped so many small rg tent pegs over the years, very poor qc.

Choices are pretty slim for current prod Party 898, Trinidad Fundi, RyJ Cazadores, Monte No.1, Siglo V. I think that is all off the top of my head.

My preference would be Party 898, Fonseca No.1 and Trinidad Fundi, never disappoints

Only the Cazadores (kinda) and Monte 1 are lonsdales in this list.

Yea, I've had my share of plugged crap but still enjoy the smaller rg CC's.
