Cigar 'IT'S A KNOCKOUT!'

[Marbleman85]

The Vigia is a great smoke...i only smoked about half a dozen or so of the robusto T but from what i can remember those were very good too. I was hoping Boli was going to win but,i have never tried a Trinidad blend that i didn't enjoy so...im not surprised it finished 1st,even with just a few smokes in the portfolio.

Trinidad isn't a marca I've really bothered with much. I've only tried the reyes, which I dislike a great deal and the fundadores, which is bloody lovely!
I guess I should investigate further...

Thanks for the suggestions - something to add to the wish list for my next trip.

Better one than none though. [emoji2]

True dat amigo. I've smoked half the box and they're great cigars. The Vigia is just as good though and it's a quarter of the price

I love the Topes, just the one left now though so it's saved for a special occasion. I picked up a box of Vigia from LCDH in St Kitts. I'm looking forward to cracking them open even more after this thread.

Hard to get hold of..... At a reasonable price

Around the time of release I found a load of boxes in Portugal and only bought one as they were a bit pricier than I thought they'd be in Spain ( I was going there a few weeks later).... Not a sausage in Spain, not one. That was a big regret only buying the one box...tit!

Ha ha. Indeed! I was lucky to find a box back in December. Very lucky. I don't travel enough and I'm a pauper [emoji16]

My wife always says if you see something and you want it. Don't delay. She was a bit shocked when I read that one back to her then lol price was good though.

Definitely agree [MENTION=39]Stevieboy[/MENTION] the Vigia all day long.
Although my smoke of last year was a Topes gifted to me from my SS, thank you whoever you are! The Topes are bloody hard to get hold of though.

One of the few Cuban marcas that I've not tried yet. So what do all you Trinidad lovers recommend that I get ?

Vigia all the live long day buddy. It's an absolute belter of a cigar. If you're in Spain they're very reasonably priced at around ?11-?12 a stick.
The Robusto T (now discontinued) was a smooth beauty too. The Vigia is a worthy replacement IMO

Knew it would be over by this morning. Good game & interesting results, how many smoke Boli's, even a handful of Boli's a year? I don't see many posted. Trini's are a fine alternative to Cohiba's, I'd say med rather than mild.
Does anyone know the the previous top 3 results were, at the end of earlier games?

confess to rarely smoking Boli. I think Boli has won out once or twice before?

What a competition it was this year, some real surprises, and a clear shift with the old guard 'Hoyo/Cohiba/Partagas/Monte' all suffering earlier defeats, and the 'local' Marca's storming it this year!

I guess this weekend i shall be smoking a Trinidad! To be honest, I was plucking for bolivar which i have found over the past year to be a more reliable and consistent smoke - i know what i am going to get when i smoke one. I have found Trinis to be a bit hit and miss with both flavour and construction last year, which for their price point is not acceptable!

I agree, that's why I never buy them blind. Got a box of Fundadores in Germany this month and paid a lot for it, much more than on the interweb. But I got a really nice box and it was worth the mark up.

True, I have quite a few Bolis but rarely smoke any. But that is because I'm aging a lot of them and I have a few rare singles that I cherish and I can't bring myself to light them up.
