Is 16 a poor year for cigars?

[BenS]

Overall, I have not been impressed with 2016 releases. NCs and CCs. I am constantly reaching back into my humi for '13 and '15 (or older) rolled sticks. Am I way off here? If there has been a 2016 rolled cigar that amazed you, I want to know about it. LE or regular production.

Well, keep in mind most of it is freshy fresh so you're comparing apples to oranges a little bit. But I've been impressed with a few '16 releases, including Warped's Maestro del Tiempo, Cornelius & Anthony's Cornelius and Mac Daddy lines, Hererra Esteli TAA, Saka's Mi Querida... I'm sure there were others.

I must say a lot of the CCs I have bought with 2016 codes look great. I haven't smoked many of them yet tho, aside from Juan Lopez No 2s which were great!

Haven't smoked a crapload of '16 CCs yet either, but the ones I have smoked were mostly good. Smoked a '16 SC El Principe this morning that was excellent.

NC:
Warped Maestro
Warped GOTF
La Palina TAA
AVO Classic Covers Vol 3
Davidoff Chef

CC:
Only smoked 1 ytd with a '16 box code, VR Unicos, and it smoked well for being so young

Ah, forgot about Guardians. That's a good one.

The AJ Fernandez "Last Call" was a damn good smoke. I think it is B&M only and may have been a limited release. I've read conflicting reports about that.

Agreed. They seem to be sold out everywhere, but are supposed to be regular production.

Crowned Heads La Careme is one of my favorites of 2016.

Tat TAA 2016 stellar as usual

El Gueguense was that 2016? This is another favorite

Las Mareas is a GREAT smoke.

Last call was ok, last call maduro was noticeably better IMO

Welcome back

Welcome back

Lol thanks Chuck. Been lurking more as I haven't been buying this year much

 

[qpzmide]

i agree with most of the brothers, HE TAA and La Careme were box purchases for me. Las Mareas and Warped MdT are right there too.

Didn't know there were two versions. . .but pretty sure i enjoyed the hell out of the maduro.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I've tried quite a few that were mentioned that I was not impressed with but there are many that I have not tried yet as well. I think I just am really starting to enjoy my cigars with a couple years on them vs fresh.
