I recently ordered some trini reyes and some Monte #4. I'm loving the Monte 4. It's starting to get a little colder outside and was looking to pick up a winter smoke, but I can't decide which to order. I'm thinking party shorts or monte #5. Which would you choose and why. Any other suggestions welcome.
Thanks in advance!

RASCC, good right off the truck. I'd buy those, Trini Reyes or San Cristobol El Principes all over the other 2 right now.

I don't buy Monte due to inconsistency. Not a fan of party shorts, but most love them.
I agree with Tom on his suggestions and will add bcj. I also smoke at least one PL Panatella a week for yard work. Very easy to pitch half way through and not feel guilty about the price.

I'm not that impressed with the reyes all that much. Maybe they need more rest time. Do the bjc need a lot of rest time? I had a RASS about a week ago and thought that was a fantastic smoke are the RASCC as good?

If you want something to smoke now, I think the H.Upmann Half Corona is hard to beat... they are great little cigars. I would also second the Boli CJ's as I really like them, but they are strong little buggers. I love Party Shorts, but I'm not a fan of fresh Partagas, I definitely prefer them aged a bit. But some people love fresh Partagas, especially people that smoke a lot of NC's and like the spiciness of cigars. Rafael Gonzalez Perlas are a good choice too, can be smoked ROTT.

I was trying to decide between Party Shorts and HUHC. On the advice of Dave and StogieNinja I went with the HUHC. I expect them to arrive any day now. BPC are a fantastic short smoke also. Check out the thread "Party Shorts or HUHC", it may help you to decide.

El Principe.......excellent and priced right. Most consistently good minuto I have ever had..........If you buy them and disagree,contact me..........

Some day they will stop making these and the price will skyrocket on what's left...........

SCDLH is my second to the Party Short, but in front of the RG Perlas if we're talking about 2013-early 2014 box codes on the laters. Since SCDLH is not a major mover, you tend to get the benefit of more age on them at purchase.
