What are your thoughts on the 2006 production? I think this may prove to be an outstanding year in the production of habanos.

So far so good on the Bolivars. I'm curious though about the PLPC's. I believe box code of OER? Any impressions on these?

I've had 2 boxes of trinidadas from the 06 prod year (coloniales and reyes) and a box of HdM petit robusto.... all 2 boxes were outstanding... I also had about half a box of PSD4... they were OK, but i think will smooth out with time.. they were too rough for me (and I usually like full bodied cigars). the trinidads will definitely get WAY better with age, but they are such good cigars (even at such a young age) that I find it extremely hard to age those stogies and not smoke them...

2006??? my god man, it would be like violating a virgin! Any thing that young is prepubescent in cigar years.
Put those puppies away for a couple of more years.

LOL...
I like to taste before I invest. 2006 looks like it may require additional investment.

I have a few boxes of 06's unopened that I will let age for a few more years. I usually try singles when in Cuba to judge how they might be with some age.
If I don't like them I give them to my son, he'll smoke anything.

I have a box of Bolivar Coronas from 2006 and I guess I've "violated" 2 of them. These are excellant now. I wonder if I can hold out on the rest of them for a year or so.

Overall, I would rate the 2006 production as a good year. My favorite would be 1998 with 2001 as a close second. Not for Bolivar, but just for Cuban production in general.
