Unsung CCs Worth Mentioning

[Simon Bolivar]

Monte No 1, must be one of least selling Monte as this format seems out of fashion but just had one last month & very enjoyable it was too.

Cuaba Diademas. Quite apart from the size, worlds apart from any other cigar I have smoked; nutty, herby and delicious.

The Cuaba divinos is a cracking wee smoke too.....love them

Rafael Gonzalez PCs. With a few years these are the most subtle and complex CCs available for my money.

SCdlH El Principe. Head and shoulders above anything else of the same size, sweet chocolatey-coffee goodness.

(& I'd second the earlier suggestion of Punch PCs- very good, as are the TPCs)

Ive got a few Jose Piedras, i actually dont mind them when ive nothing else.

I had one whilst quite pissed the other and it was really pretty good...the booze may have helped though LOL

[eggopp]

No it isn't.....I reckon JP stands for Jose Piedra....the cigar you love above all others

La Gloria Cubana - Gloriosos. Last year was the first time I'd ever tried a Gloria Cubana and that cigar was in my top 3 of last year.

That's Mexicant speak for Juan Lopez. Sorry for not providing the Scottish translation...

Little Stevie Eagle Eye!

Never heard of the JP2 or JP3 TJ....what are you talking about?

Is this a new brand? Juan Popez??

Tit!!!

Did someone say Pet....Peti....err, little stogie?

A cigar that I'm giving some serious time and thought to ..... Punch Petit Coronas del Punch ..... never heard anyone mention them on here!

Figures!



I prefer the Punch-Punch myself, in a cab, of course.

The JP2 is Dead ....long live the JP3

I've not smoked the widest selection yet but I'll definitely agree with the JL2 and Choix Supreme. I'm also going to put forth the PLPC and the Mag46, though they aren't exactly unknown.

[EugeneSax]

I like JL2 - but I hardly think they are unsung - certainly not round here.

What is I think under-appreciated here is the Monty 5 - a great little smoke IMO that although perhaps lacking in complexity, shows all the relevant brand characteristics in a small & inexpensive package. Never kept them long enough to age, but imagine they do well with time.

I prefer them to 4's: they have more concentrated flavours & seem to be more consistent. If I wanted something similar in a larger stick I'd skip the 4 & go for 3's or the Especials.

[Don Andres]

I am always surprised over the reaction to the JL #2. Is it really head and shoulders above the BRC or the RASS?

For an underappreciated cigar(w/o going to far afield), I'll nominate the H. Upmann Petit Corona. Along with the Mg 46, they have been outstanding ROTT.

JL number 2 is one of my favourites and just been reminded how good the Party Presidents are as well...have a box of these from 1999 in the back of the humidor so maybe time to break them out

[Simon-JG-hr]

Another one who believes the JL2 to be a great cigar. But hardly under the radar around these parts, the UKCF might as well be renamed the JL2 Fan Club given the number of followers on here.

Smaller cigars don't get quite the airing of some others. So I'll put up the El Rey del Mundo Petit Corona for consideration (although I acknowledge that I may have done that a couple of times before... )
