Hey Guys,

I had a Choix Supreme earlier this year, thanks to a box split on this forum. It was 4 different cuban robustos and the Choix Supreme instantly stood out for me as a delicious little stick.

So just now we had a fire alarm and I made the best of it, by going to the Dunhill lounge and picked one of these. It did not let me down. The flavor profile of the Choix Supreme is spot on to my taste. I think I can say, this is my favorite Cuban Robusto, by far.

Now, sadly, there are only two vitolas left. The Robusto and the way too small Demi Tasse.

Can anybody recommend another cigar that comes close to the Choix Supreme, but in a larger format?

An ERDM Grandes de Espag?a would be right up your street. You can still find them around, though I'm not aware of any UK retailers that are still carrying them, so someone else may be more help there.

I’m not sure of the age on the Choix Supreme you’ve smoked but they seem to just keep getting better the longer you can wait. I have a box of 08’s the last of which was phenomenal. In terms of what is similar nothing springs to mind, for me they are a perfect mix of fruit and honey and I can’t think of anything else off the top of my head that ticks those boxes.

If you find something let me know.

The ones I had earlier this year were only a year or two old. The one I had today was older I think, it was even more intense in flavor than I remembered. Will definitely get a box of these soon, or maybe better two of them, one to put away and one to smoke now...

If only a robusto wouldn't always leave me somewhat longing for another cigar...

I’d mirror that Niels, although it’s relatively mild it’s full of flavour and those flavours become more pronounced as they age. I’d say Trinidad while not a perfect match shares some similarities so maybe the Fundadores?

Buying a bigger vitola wouldn't guarantee you more of the same flavour.

Yes, Ramon Allones Gigantes being a perfect example of that. Still good but I wish it was just a DC version of the Specially Selected.

I would also agree with the ERDM Grandes de Espana recommendation.

Isn't there a ERDM lancero coming out as a british regional?

Would you say it's a typical flavour for a ERDM?
