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).

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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$$.

I still have one that he gave me
