That Nicole Miller box is awesome. I had a girlfriend that wore the perfume.

I like the ERDM maduros, and the JR Ultimates also. These are more than acceptable as Villazon clones.

I bought a box of ERDM Rectagulare Maduros recently and am happy.

Yeah, they are tasty. Not a big fan of box-pressed, but will make an exception for these.

Loved Torano in 2011 but had a Tatuaje Anarchy also that year. Just started smoking so I kept as it was a full bodied cigar. Later that year I smoked it and loved it.

I tell ya .. I really miss the Pepin CI Legends. Those were so good... and the Padilla Miami 8&11 were too.

Are there any blends out there similar to these? What ever happened to all the Pepin blends? He was on fire for a few years.

I still like the Pepin Blue label on occasion. Other guys here probably know more about Pepin's current status though.

Yeah I have some still ... they don't have that pepper hit that the others did though.

Reading thru this thread brings back memories from when I first got started. We’re lucky in the Detroit area to have a JR’s store. I remember it being a treasure hunt, finding those boxes/bundles lost in the back of the shelves, with a few years of age on them.

Belinda, Hoyo Excalibur, Maria Mancini, JR Ultimate.

The one I really miss is Padron. Smoked thru countless boxes of the 2000’s and quite a few of the Anniversarrio. I’ve tried a few over the last few years, but they taste like ash to me.

Someone else mentioned the OR Camacho’s. That first inch of the Corojo. You had to smoke it on a full stomach, even then it’d still set you on your a$$.
