Louistogies · 04-15-2012, 12:12 AM

What's your favorite size in the epernay line? And why?

icehog3 · 04-15-2012, 12:14 AM

Le Petite...only reasons for me, I like the size, and it's been the best tasting of all I've tried.

LOL! When I buy a cab I'll send you some, long as I don't buy these.

Thanks, Louis, I have a few, but you are a gentleman and a scholar.

Le Elegance tasted best to me. I've also enjoyed the Le Grande. I've got a couple of Le Monde in the humi waiting to try. The box pressed Le Matine is also great. Hard to go wrong with these. Just get a sampler and decide for yourself.

One of my favorite sticks, period. Had one yesterday on a drive with the wife, I friggin' love 'em and they fit in my vintage tortiose celluloid clam-shell case.

MurphysLaw · 04-16-2012, 06:53 AM

Le Petite are my favorites as well

issues · 04-16-2012, 08:43 AM

Another vote for Le Elegance although the Petite is pretty close!!!

danreeve · 04-16-2012, 09:06 AM

Le Petite was my favorite until I smoked the Le Taureau. The Le Taureau is a flavor bomb.

The smaller( thinner) the better.

QiCultivator · 04-16-2012, 11:06 AM

I thought Le Ferme was pretty good. I had 10 of those last year. I'm looking forward to trying one of the Le Grandes I have resting.

Silound · 04-16-2012, 12:21 PM

They all get amazing if you sit on them for a while. I prefer the Le Petite as well, because the wrapper is so flavorful.

I wouldn't mind seeing that blend in a 4x50 short robusto size.

Fia · 04-16-2012, 04:51 PM

Le Grande for me. Flavor is great and I like the size.

I have to agree with this, with the petite close on its heels.

Mr B · 04-17-2012, 10:49 AM

For me the smaller ring guages do it, in the Epernay (and Illusione) line.
#1 Le Elegance.
#2 Le Petite.

TJtorpedo · 04-17-2012, 08:07 PM

The Le Elegance is great, but to me they are all pretty awesome with some age on them.

danreeve · 04-17-2012, 08:22 PM

All the guys saying the smaller ring gauge the better, have you tried the Le Taureau? I was right there with you until I tried the three new bigger box pressed sizes.

Just wondering.
