Well I keep trying because God only knows how these deserve an 8.39 in the Cuban Cigar Ratings ... http://www.cigars-review.org/topcigars.htm ... I think there's more Cuban live in a Guantanamera Compay. OK, they're mild and easy enough for a nun to smoke, but to be honest if Habanos grew the tobacco in Deano's back garden and rolled them in Basildon they couldn't be any worse.

As far as I'm concerned this cigar has only one virtue .... it's all over quickly!

lol the HUHC? I've burnt through well over half a box and probably had 2 duds, I love them when they're on!

I used to like the HUHC,
However, discovering cheaper smokes elsewhere I've moved away from these.
Saying that…
I still got two or three in humi…

I've had a few as well and I have nothing but good things to say about them

I don't mind them for a short smoke but they are one dimension and obvious

I really like them and have only good things to say about them.

Thinking I should buy more to age. I got a box of 25 and a tin of 5 at the same time and did notice a big difference in taste between the 2.
Are the ones your are smoking all from the same tin (or box) and could have been poorly stored (before you got them obviously) or perhaps a bad batch?

All this talk of HUHC last one from a box of five , to be honest been contemplating a box of 25 this last one from the tin I've now had for 6 months and will be the decider if I go for it or not

[oskihen]

First I've had of these for about four months and so far wow can't remember the other four being this good maybe that little bit of time has made a huge difference to them or more possible my palette developing

Only had a couple of HUHC myself, but thought they were alright, to the point of thinking about getting some (though the shopping list is already extremely long and not getting any shorter!).

I'm back on the CA Top 25 tonight. I'm told the Bolivar Royal Corona, No 21, "is a leathery and earthy smoke with a growing intensity, as well as notes of chocolate and spicy licorice." This is one of just 3 Cubans in the Top 25.

It was a really good cigar. It had some age on it, which must make a difference, and was so smooth. Full on flavour from the start, definitely leathery, which got more intense, and those notes of rich dark chocolate, which faded. One of those cigars when I wish I had a connoisseur's appreciation for subtle taste. So much going on and it kept evolving. Gorgeous aroma.

Very tight draw though, even with a cut, but I think that may be a storage issue. My humi was over-humidified for a while. I'm sure I read somewhere on the forum that excess humidity can cause problems like that? Sorted the humi last weekend, but I guess the cigars will take a little while to catch up.

Always worth taking your pick to smoke out a few hours before smoking if that's the case . I don't know about cigar aficionado maybe some other botl Maybe able to confirm this but is it an American magazine as its surprising only three Cubans in the list and is that anything to do with the embargo

They're both certainly being well received! I do enjoy a Monte 4!
