Sleepers

[jhedrick83]

So, seeing Don's MB III thread got me thinking, we don't have a thread about sleeper cigars. The MB III is one, I also find the Saint Luis Rey Maduro rothchild with 2+ years to be a pretty damn good cigar. Fresh, it's meh. Aroma De Cuba Mi Amors are really good to start, I had a couple 4 year old ones last year and they blew me away. I bought a box to store that night. What are some of your favorite sleepers?

That's a tough one. I know most cigars get the attention it deserves. It's also a tough subject since some cigars have changed profile over the years. I used to love the Padilla 1932 until they discontinued it. It really hasn't been the same smoke since they discontinued it. I still have boxes of them from 4 years ago and they still stand the test of time.

Some cigars I've personally liked over the years and recently haven't been mentioned recently are: Camacho Diploma, E.P. Carrillo Club 52, Los Blancos Nine, Illusione cg:4, Diamond Crown Maximus #4, La Aurora Preferidos No.2 Maduro, Carlos Torano Exodus, Joya de Nicaragua Antano. I wouldn't be afraid to pick any of them up from my humidor when I want a solid cigar.

I guess I meant it more as what cigars were underwhelming ROTT but after some good rest really changed your mind. It's been a long day and I may not have phrased the post the best way to start!

I knew what you meant. Camacho Diploma and Carlos Torano Exodus really seems to shine after long nap time. Actually, all those cigars I mentioned got better over some resting period, hence I like.

When I see the word "sleeper" I think of cheaper cigars that are a pleasant surprise after resting...

La Perla Habana Black
Nica Libre
Sancho Panza Double Maduro
EP Carillo

I forgot about the Double Maduro!

Tman, is that the old style Diploma or the rebranded ones?

I'd say El Centurion, people always forget about this cigar.

Pretty much all of those Padillas were outstanding with the exception of the hybrid.

Still have a box left of the Dominus (4 years old)---have this grassy herbaceous flavor to them now.
I have a couple 2010 Capa Habano sticks left--smokin' like gems.

One Perdomo Cabinet Series (had red label--don't remember the letter) were unexpectedly good after a few years.

Although they didn't take four years to mature--only one LOL, San Miguel cigars were pretty meh ROTT. Fast forward one year, they were really, really, really good. I believe they were discontinued. Had I known, I would have gotten 3-4 bundles.

Hate when that happens.

Old one. I hate the new style. Looks so tacky!
