Price for "vintage"

[Zen Smoker222]

Would any of you pay 20 bucks more to get a 04 box opposed to an 09 box of Vintage - Romeo Y Julieta Exhibicion No.4 ?
Are they good smokes I am pretty new to this side but the aged stuff in general has almost always tasted a lot better any thoughts thanks!

Saw this earlier... Idk if I would for RyJ of SCdH. JMHO

Lets split it Nate! Haha

Haha we do need to split some CC's we got are car finally....those PLP's are out pm me if you want to!!!

I only pay vintage prices for things I've had in the past that may repeat the expreriance I've already had. Like 03' SWs. 09 Psd4s etc. Although the latter isnt really a vintage by any means. Try finding them now. (09 D4s) Also a big fan of aging nearly everything myself. My best boxes so far have been things that Ive had 3-4 years that were almost new from the factory when I aquired them.......

*gasp* envious!
My usual sources are still out of PLPs and I'm itching for more. Hoping to see them readily available again after the holidays.

Is an extra $20 really a huge price increase? $20 for 5 years seems like a sweet deal to me....

20 is a great deal; just not for those sticks IMHO

$20 for 5 years? I think it's definitely worth it... i would go for it

02-04; so 6 to 8 years haha that only solidifies the argument of them being worth it I guess

If I had it on good authority (or better yet, personal experience) that the year in question was good, then sure, $20 isn't bad. But I've heard that '04 was an "ok" year, vs '06 and after.

04-09....but I think njstone's post probably sums it up best either way.

I haven't smoked an 04. I've smoked some from 99 and some from 09. I do like the Exh No. 4 which doesn't seem to be a popular stick. I really liked both of those years. Personally I'd rather buy the 09s (Or preferably younger) and age them myself like Jolietilfire said.

 

[Knickerbocker]

It's your call, I thought the stick itself was pretty bland. Don't pay more than $200

 

[Bass man]

IMHO, almost all 04 & 05 CCs were pretty bland. I WOULD pay extra for 02 & early 03, but not EX#4s. They never did much for me. Now the EX#3- THAT is a nice cigar. Greatly enjoying my 06s.

Site has 02's and 04's posted as there vintage; Nate was using 09's as comparison to the latter not including 02's

[Zen Smoker222]

I would kill for a box of 06 EX 3's! I smoked a gifted one and it just blew me away! Have been unable to locate any :sadstare: I noticed the same site Zen is looking at has 05 H' Upmann Mag 46 for sale..... any one have any experience with these?

 

[Zen Smoker222]

Yeah I was wondering the same they seem like better contenders.
