Cigars you enjoyed once upon a time

[G G]

Okay, so the Oliva O's came in yesterday while I was on my 24 hour tour. Got home this morning and cracked the box open and smoked one. It was pretty good to me, but I believe I like the Master Blends better and with the special Holt's runs on the Master Blends fairly regularly I will just buy 20 of those for the same price a box of 20 of the O's cost me.

Maria Mancini magic mountain and the vieja habanas that Tom posted. Used to enjoy these many years ago.

I'd like to re-visit NC Partagas Limited Reserve or Humitube cigars. 25 years ago they were something special.

[Snook]

Camachos. More specifically, pre-Davidoff Camachos. They had a distinct flavor and a lot of strength for that time. I'd love to get my hands on a box of those.
I also remember smoking a lot of CAO cameroons. I need to re-visit that one.

[Wharf Rat]

Consuegras... so many Consuegras. I don’t know if I’d go back to them. But, maybe I should try an El Rey Del Mundo. I think one of my first good cigar box purchases was some Flor de la Vonda

I like the El Rey del Munro too.

I still keep a handful of Consuegra Rothschild maduros around. Think I'll dig one out now.

The original RP 1990/1992 from 1999/2000 (?). Back before he turned into Kaizid Hansotia

[Tio Gato]

I used to love LGC made in Miami. I miss those a lot.
I still love the Henry Clay rolled in the DR.

[The camaro show]

I used to love crowned heads four kicks when I started but now they are very eh to me, I still really like the maduro version and love the black belt buckles!

I use to really like Zino Mouton Cadet cigars. Haven't had one 25 years. How are they now?

[RevSmoke]

Looking for my whet stones, I guess I hadn't thought about it, but during the boom there were a couple cigars that are no longer produced... which, with the resurrection of this thread and the finding of the two boxes (they are hinged lids and great for storage) were brought to mind.

Nicole Miller was a Dominican, it was billed as an uber-premium under her name, trying to capitalize on the boom, and the robustos went for about $15 a stick. Well, they didn't do that well. Lew Rothman got ahold of them and blew them out at something like $29.99 a box. I got one on a lark. I had a couple and concluded it was an excellent cigar! Not $15 a stick, but at Lew's price point, well worth putting a couple in the humidor... When I tried to get a few more boxes they were sold out.

The other box is from Evelio, a Honduran barberpole toro sized. I tried one in the store when I drove by it (do not remember the name) and decided to drop in a look around. I saw these sitting there and the guy offered one to me to try (I guess I looked like someone who might buy a box). It was an excellent cigar, it gleaned and glistened with oil, was silky to the touch, and wonderfully smooth, rich, and complex. As it was reasonably priced I got a box. This however, was another cigar that appeared on the scene and just a quickly disappeared.

I wouldn't mind trying either of these again. I do have fond memories of them.

They don't make them anymore.

Long time ago, Bock y Cia was a brand that JR cigars used to carry in the late 90s early 2000s.

What's left of the Dunhill distributed NC brands like Santa Cruz, Tempe Hall, Henry Clay, etc???

Some live on, some are gone. Henry Clay has had a few niche releases and a collaboration with Pete Johnson a few years ago. Temple Hall lives on as a JR Cigars bargain brand.

Todd's mention of Honduran cigars reminds me that I sorely miss almost EVERYTHING that came out of the old Villazon factory.

Have you had any El Rey del Mundos recently? I think that the Robustos and the Robusto Largas are very similar to what they tasted like back in the day (1990s).
