Holy Grail

[Kdot]

I like scouring the Earth for older LEs, REs and just stuff thats hard to find these days. Its part of the enjoyment to me, especially when I get my hands on something rare or unusual.

I call my most wanted "Grails" as I am on a quest to obtain these, yet have never tried them. Blind faith. I have been fortunate to obtain some of my "Grails" and then they get scored off the list.

Current Grails include but not limited to;

- Edmundo Dante Conde 109
- Vintage Cuban Davidoffs/Dunhills
- ERDM Vikingos RE

Are there many others who do this? If so whats top of your list?

Not at the stage of building up that kind of list yet.

Which ones, that you've managed to find, have either disappointed or really been the hit that you expected?

How about the Punch Ninfas? Now where you can get one to compare it to the Upmann.

ERDM Grandes Espana - Bloody good smoke
VR Marshall - so-so
Partagas D1 - Meh

Ive only managed to secure singles for the few I have obtained. so I try to save them for special occasions!

After ticking the vintage Dunhills, book cigars and Edmundo Dantes off the list I am left with the following, as mentioned in another thread.

Hoyo de Monterrey Maravillas
Hoyo de Monterrey Monterrey
Cohiba A
Cohiba Behike
Partagas Fabulosos
Montecristo B

Whilst the vintage Dunhills, be they Dunhill Seleccion Suprema of the brands we know or Dunhill own brands like Don Candido are reliably great smoke, I have not found the love of vintage the old Davidoff. I am far, far less experienced on them so do not speak with a voice of authority.

I am dubious about Cohiba in general as they only Cohiba I have loved was a pre-production Gran Reserva. I am almost unique in my reliable disappointing of the BHK 52-56, Sublime, DC, Pyrmaid, Maduro and regular range, just not to my palette I guess. For that reason I suspect I will never get to try the A and genuine Behike as I have paid lots of rare Cohiba before and been invariably let down.

+1 on the punch ninfa's

Whoops forgot the Upmann Noella's

ERMD Elegentes, Mitch had some at the last Auction but they had the Davidoff name on them & I suspected they would go way out of my reach. Annoyingly, if I had been there I could have afforded to snap it up for but of course you never know how far the actual winner would have kept bidding.
Gotta make that auction one day...
Here's a Punch Nifas I tried earlier.
