What cigars have you smoked the most of?

[Vortigan]

I'd probably go with HdM Epi 2 also,close second PSD4.It's interesting to read others' opinions on the latter because I've also been feeling that they've lost something.I'm a few sticks away from finishing a 2010 box and I guess that 1:4 has been dull,flat and lifeless.Maybe as Deano suggested it's an age thing but I'm not in a hurry to pick a new box up anytime soon.

I will only to the one I have smoked most of because I am sure it is so far in front of anything else in number that I ahve smoked over the last 15 years and that is the Bolivar PC. Alway had a 50 cab on the go.

Not quite the same now (like a few of my faves) but that is a whole can of worms I will leave alone for now!

[nev coss]

mostly Bolivar PCs and Partagas PCs

Regarding the Bolivar PC, let's open that can of worms!

On a separate thread, if you must. I'd like to know what you think.

Ok, well for whatever reason they just don't taste the same anymore. I am talking from about 2010. I still like them but something's not right. They used to be so rich and full of flavour even after a year or so. I swear... just thinking about it now I can still remember that taste and smell that used to be my regular companion with a glass or two of scotch late at night.
Now before anyone gets too excited, I am well aware that it may not be the cigar at all. It may just be me, tastes change and we find new favourites all the time. The only reason I am a little hesitant about getting into this and opening this 'can of worms' is because I find myself getting the same problem with quite a few Cubans that I have loved in the past. Partagas Serie D 4 is another example, I swear I just can't find a box for love nor money that makes me feel like I used to! Maybe It's me. Sir Winston...Had some of my best smoking experiences with one of those...have a box from 2010 and saying it tasted like unfermented cardboard is being kind! It's a sir winne for F**KS sake.

And I think the age thing that people always say is glossing over the problem, like 'give them a few years' or 'they really need 4 or 5 years'. I am sorry and I know that many of you are far more educated on these subjects than I am but if something tastes like sugar free paper and salt free f**king spelt bread from the off then 4 years is not going to help any.

Anyway, There are still plenty of fine cigars out there and it is probably just me but I am a little more open to trying the odd NC more than I ever thought I would be.

Boring myself now! Cheers.

I've noticed this too, and mentioned it ..... I not a Horticulturist so I can't prove my theory, but I think there's a problem with the hybrid leaf.

hey arf, you may have hit the nail on the head!!! remember, cuban cigars are 'organic' and we feed them water just as we would with any plant or organic life form!! growing conditions, climate changes, biodiversity changes........ evolution even could all effect the tobacco plants the cigars are made from, which in turn, effects what we get to smoke!!!

still, i'd rather have a crappy tasting cuban cigar rather than a crappy NC.......
