PG Symphony 20

[Zen Cigar Man]

These just came out in a pre-release type of thing to a few stores. I had one last night and it's very close to the Colorado Claro I had last week in terms of quality and flavor. Full flavored and rich, extremely complex but my one complaint was that it was a bit underfilled. But I really liked this - much better than the 15th Annis.

Pick one up if you are a Kelner Krazy! :jitb:

I tried one of these out today and was impressed. Though I agree with Zen that this is similar to the Colorado Claro (which I really enjoyed), I found this to be a bit more interesting. I think this cigar has great aging potential...too bad they are 17 bucks a stick.

Note to self.

Haven't heard of these yet. Thanks for the heads up, keep on the lookout for them.

Jamie, thanks for the mini-review and letting me know this cigar is now available....did you get it at Empire Cigars?

Here's some more info straight from PG's website....


A UNIQUE BLEND WITH AN EXCEPTIONALLY DARK & OILY WRAPPER

During the last two decades we have had the good fortune to work with the premier manufacturer of fine cigars, Henky Kelner. Five years ago, after the introduction of the 15th Anniversary cigar, we agonized as to how we would be able to top the 15th Anniversary blend in five years for the 20th Anniversary. Henky Kelner and Eladio Diaz, his chief blender, have not been idle about our 20th Anniversary project.

Covered with the greatest wrapper we have ever seen (dark, oily, and smooth) it is combined with four complex fillers and a Havana seed binder. The Symphony 20 has achieved a height of rich elegance and taste hitherto unknown outside of Cuba - far exceeding our expectations. Henky Kelner and Eladio Diaz have honored us yet again with this incredible blend.

Officially, the Symphony 20 will be released nationwide and internationally in 2010. The pre-release with our top PG Authorized Dealers and in McLean Cigars PG Boutique, has given us responses too unbelievable for us to print.

Wow! Thanks Zen for the heads up on a Kelner stick. I love most everything Kelner makes/blends, I'm a Kelner Freak! If you say that it's similar to the Colorado Claro, then that is all I need to hear! I will definitely be on the lookout for these. There is only one shop here that carries PG, but they seem to have a decent sized collection. They have one PG that says rolled in 1998 on the box, and it's a really good smoke.

I heard about them a little while back. Empire isn't really moving PGs anymore, so I looked around and found them at the Schwartz.
