Partagas 898
RA Superiores

If I could only have 1 for the rest of my life..........that's a tough one....it'd be between the 898 & Superiores.

A toss up between Rocky Patel 1992 and Torano Noventa Santiago with a slight edge to the Torano. The Padron 3000 Maduro comes in a close third. I am a noob though, and I suspect my opinion will change with more sticks sampled.

The dates are "manufacturer" dates.  You don't really need to age them any more if you don't want to.  Past acclimating them to your preferred temp/humidity.  Or to put more time on them.

Thanks  mann...That control thing is a bit hard...I smoke too much of them but I am putting some boxes away.

I do have a question though. Some of my Cuban smokes marked 2007 and my Siglo II"s marked 2005. My Behike's from 2011...So do these still need aging in my own humidor ?  Always wondered about the aging process from factory box stamp to my own humidor? Thanks in advance on this topic.

Agree, manufacturing dates.
Aging is an option, but the practice started because Cubans do not age their cigars, the cigars were shipped as soon as they are rolled and boxed.  Most non-Cubans like Padron and Fuente aged theirs for up to 6 moths before shipping.

CC: Ramon Allones EL from 2011
Second choice: Diplomatic #2 with a dark wrapper.

NC: La Aroma De Cuba......getting hard to come by one with a dark wrapper these days, lately most boxes I get are light and they suck.
I did get one box of Monarchs recently with the good dark leathery wrappers, and I'm  rationing until I get hold of more.
Second choice: San Cristobal any vitola.

I've tried a couple different times to win the on the devil site. They end up going too expensive for me. I think I would like them but don't want to spend a ton if I end up not liking them.

I can't think of what the "best" or my favorite is, too many I guess. I'm sure I smoked something along the way that was a gift or such that knocked my socks off and I probably should remember...that being said, I'll go with two posters thus far that named my 2 regular goto sticks. La Gloria R's and La Aroma de Cuba. I think they're great little smokes especially for the price point. FYI, there is a website that sells those two as a sampler pack for a decent price of you like those two. The website logo is a smiley face...don't wanna come off as advertising.

I have another question then. All cuban tobacco is aged before the rolling aspect for several years. Doesn't that count in the aging aspect?
View Quote


The wrapper leaves are aged and cured for a period of time before rolling.
The rolling process introduce other tobacco (fillers and binders) and stresses.
The freshly rolled are bundled, aged for a week, then packaged and shipped.
Further aging of rolled cigars promote the second fermentation process, and the shrinkage of the leaves reliefs the stresses, which takes much longer than a week.

My father Mutineer Black (if you can find them). One of the best cigars I've ever smoked. Perfect draw, tons of smoke, great smell, long smoke times, amazing tastes and transitions.
