Forgotten Cigars

I haven't seen a Ron Mexico in quite some time. Poor fella.

I'm sure we can find some for you if you want!

I'm all out of cedar spills, so some RM's might fit the bill!

Aging Room seems to me to have dropped off the face of the earth. But that could just be because we recently became a house account instead of having a rep so no one is dropping samples off to me every week

Speaking of forgotten sticks, I see a familiar band on the last cigar on the right that Joel got bombed with!

Indeed. I have not forgotten the ever impressive La Duena. I always keep a ready supply

Ron Mexico in true Usain Bolt fashion shot with blinding speed to the heights of glory.
Then...sadly,oh so sadly as many before him,fell.
Having for that all too brief moment burned with an incandescence never before seen
Fell to be seen no more.
Multitudes wept,tho they've bathed in the light of Ron Mexico,
and shall forever hold those memories of the brightest times in their hearts

There are about 4 different shops/lounges that I will go to regularly and I always seem to notice that the Flor de la Antillas boxes are the ones that are usually the ones empty first and that are always being replaced yet do not hear much talk about them. Someone is smoking them.

I bought one yesterday. Also got two singles that I have never tried before, La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor belicoso and a Diamond Crown Maximus robusto.

Well, in fairness I was hardly on last week and I'm honestly good to remember what day it is right now! Viaje is another good one. I never really got into them but I would be curious to see if some of the guys used to love Viaje and have moved on and why.

I used to smoke the Seleccion Privada Maduros. Burned through quite a few fresh but they just didnt hold up over time. Ive had the BV500, Achilles Hero, Cafe Noir 54, Reserva Limitada Cafe 52 maybe some others. All kind of fell into average and unremarkable territory, not bad cigars just better out there imo. Iirc @D37P (sp?) used to smoke the BV500s like it was his job. The Achilles Hero is probably the most "Cubanesque" nicaraguan Ive had, for w/e thats worth.

I smoke my fair share of Viaje and I think Andre is still putting out some good stuff. He had a problem with Eduardo Pujals and moved production from Raíces Cubanas last year so there has been a bit of an exodus with his fans. For new smokers, Viaje is incredibly confusing and confounding. Its all mostly small batch stuff and Farkas has been known to "have fun" with the blends, doing stuff that comes up in conversation at cigar bars ala the Stuffed Turkey, Holiday, Throwdown etc. Some are hits, some are misses. When he first came on the scene he scored high in publications so a lot of small minded folk hoarded his stuff, his scores have been dropping consistently so now people are unloading but last years C4 and Zombie shots were really good. One mans trash...I still buy his stuff and enjoy the F&F, S&B, Oro, Zombies (shots and greens), Exclusivos and C4.

I feel like RoMaCraft might be the next forgotten brand.

Good points on Viaje. I think my first 2 might have actually come from you in that "newb" (haha) trade, a Hangtime something something (Spring Harvest?) and an Oro...or Platino...I don't know. They were both really good though, I do remember that. I can't complain about the flavor or quality of anything from them, except a red labeled one I had at a B&M that I thought was smokeable but slightly below average a year or two back.

I could see you being right on RoMa too, but that might just be me projecting again like I did with the Viaje LE thing. I've never had a bad RoMa Craft, but I typically haven't been blown away either.

Haven't been able to find any of the San Cristobal Selection Del Sol for some time now, guess D. P. Garcia's not doing them any longer.
