First box

[Matt Wall]

Hi guys,
Went to Rome today only to realise that the Italians are lazy and don't open their LCDH's until 3:30pm for some reason, as we're on a cruise we had to get back to the port by 6pm so I didn't get chance to go to LCDH in Rome But oh well there's always next time...
Anyway one of the last stops is Gibraltar and I've already contacted Stagnetto's to make sure they're open etc and I'm just wondering which of the following is the best for a non-spicy, smooth, creamy, sweet palette such as mine. I've narrowed it down to these (due to size and personal brand favourites) though I'm always open to suggestions I've only got about ?70 but that should get me a 10 box of something in Gibraltar

Top 5:

H Upmann Royal Robusto
SLR DC
Hoyo DC
Por Larranaga Anything
Boli Corona Gigantes

Thanks guys, always appreciate the help everyone here gives, its always great to see everyone chipping in.
Happy smoking,
Matt

Not the PLs or the Bolis then Matt.

Sounds like a really great trip you're having! Any photos of the shops / humidors?

[sheppsea]

The PL Sobresalientes may be a good bet - I sort of feel that if you're in Gibraltar you have to buy some cheaper UK REs

[Matt Wall]

Okay thanks PeeJay I'll steer clear of the Boli's, I do love PL though
I think it might be an Upmann/Cohiba/Double-Corona-fest for me then, haha
I'll try and put some images up

I'd personally rule out Boli & SLR based upon your requirements, probably go with PL as I've yet to smoke my HURR

Just realised that I forgot to take photos of the humidors but I must recommend Gimeno's in Barcelona; massive cellar humidor with a sliding electronic glass door, it was very fancy and prices were nice too
I'll try and remember to take a few photos of Stagnetto's

I'll add that to the list (or at least start one) for my Barca trip next year then[emoji106]

Just a few holiday snaps: a shut Fincato's, the Vatican; and me with a copy of the CA Cuba issue dreaming about $5 CoRo's...

I'd certainly opt for the hoyo very mild should suit your flavour requests

Of those, I'd probably go for the Upmann Royal Robusto.

[Seegarnub]

With your taste in mind I'd go for the Hoyo if I was you.
