Has anyone tried all three years? I've only had the 08 and thought it was very good. A nice smooth full-bodied maduro. Just wondering if there's a big difference among the years and which one is the best in your opinions....

kuzi16

all 4 years.

06 was the first year.

the 06 was great. the 07 was nothing special. the 08 is good but still needs rest (IMHO) the 09... come to think of it i have yet to have an 09.... hmmmm... i should work on that.

The Cank

I had a few of the 09 but I think I remember people telling me that the 08 were better. Im getting the order of 15 next week I think

I've had the 06, 07, 08, 09. I doubt I'll go for the 10, but hey they usually find their way too me. I think the 08 is the best, the 06 is second. I found the 09 to be okay and the 07 to be the same. The 09 was a big price increase over the 08 and I don't know why. I dunno, there are other sticks with the limited sticker that are better. But hey, it's all subjective.

lilwing88

My bad. Didn't know 06 was the first year. Now I have even MORE to try!

PuroFreak

I have an 06 sitting in the humidor but haven't tried one yet. I did smoke an 07 which was pretty good, never have got my hands on an 08, and I've smoked several of the 09. I thought the 09 was a fantastic cigar and I still have a few stashed away to hold onto and see how they age. I'll probably get a sampler of the 10's sometime to give them a shot.

I have only had the 08, and one was good and one was bad. I agree with Kuzi that this stoge could probably benefit from some nice rest. It's got a very good thick oily maduro wrapper that will probably seep into the binder and filler and balance it a little better. I notice that on both, the torpedo tip was packed a little too tight and needs to be cut pretty deep. But it has a ton of potential, I think

I have a good amount of '09's if you would want to trade for a couple. PM me if you are interested.

IMO the best is the 06

I have had all except the 2010. The one I liked the best was the 07. I swear I heard or read somewhere that there was an 05. Who knows... I would like to try the 2010 but at the moment I can't spend money on any.

you are right.

i forgot that the original was 05.

the 05 blend:
Wrapper: Equador
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Brazil

good call, and good eye.

I have smoked all but the 05 and the 10. I have a 05 but cant bring myself to smoke it.

I've heard that the 05 was by far the best, but I've never had one. I remember I thought about picking up a box, but decided to get a box of the 06 instead. I'm kicking myself now for that decision

The first year (05) was a simple box and one band. That's the only way to really distinguish it from later releases. I still have sealed boxes of 05-07 and an opened box of 08. I would really like to find new homes for them so i can start buying again. My humidors are maxed out! I purchased two boxes of each at time of original release, one for smoking and one for aging. I still have some left from the boxes I opened, that were the 05 I gave CvilleE came from.
