Just ordered a box of 1999`s. Never had a Cuban LC before. Hope they are good. I was gunna get something else but figured i would get these cuz the age. EDC CCUA or PEL EP OO are my choices. Kinda looking foward to trying a new brand.

Oops they are El rey del mundo. Never had those either. Hope they are a good surprize. Perhaps i should try La Gloria as well.

If you are looking for a very enjoyable, pleasant tasting and non-demanding julieta then I think you will enjoy the El Rey del Mundo Tainos. I have slb's from 96 and 99 and they are getting quite excellent. The best part about this Habanos is that you can come across some well-aged ones if you look.
As for the La Gloria Tainos, I have gone through a couple of dress boxes of them but still not sure if I really like this one. Since they come only in the 10 count box it is easy to experiment with them however it is sort of bad if you want to age them again since there are only ten.

Thanks. Now that i think about it i once had a LC Choix Supreme that was decent. Never had the El Rey but hopefully if all goes well i will be trying them soon. Also found some 1999 Partagas Lonsdales. I enjoy cigars of all strengths just as long as they taste good so the El Rey`s should be just what i`m lookin for. Say hows the Draw on your 1999`s.

I just found LGC Tainos 10 packs from 2001 available, never tried one, may need to do so now.

Muskrat, you appear to have a bit of dyslexcia (?) concerning LGC and ERDM Both make Tainos, Choix Sup. is ERDM. My LGC Tainos from 00 are mostly to tight to smoke, good flavor when they do. Have a box of Choix Sup. on the way.

I`m all disscombobulated. Smoked a Choix for sure i know that. Guess it was an ERDM. The smokes i ordered are ERDM for sure LOL. Hope they aren`t too tite, i hate that.

Dyslexics of the world, UNTIE!

I don't think it is just that I do not like a really strong smoke, but I really love the ERDM
Tainos! As stated above, it is certainly a non-threatening Julieta2, but it is so smooth and loaded with little nuances. You might forget you were smoking a Cuban cigar but for the wonderful flavors on such a light body. I have also heard that they do not degenerate a lot even after aging for awhile, and that is a real plus. This cigar is one of my alltime favorites so far, and I have alot of others to compare it to. It is just that good. But again, the light body is not for everybody, but even hardcore smokers enjoy them. I would like to get 2 more boxes before they disappear forever.

Thanks NoLa now i can`t wait to get them. I don`t mind lighter smokes like Cuaba and Foseca so i`m sure the ERDM will be great. Have some 1999 Partagas lonsdales on the way too so the ERDM should be a nice contrast.

Smokes are in will report soon. Old style lable on this box.

By old style label, I am sure you mean Cuban warranty seal, eh? I know that the ERDM Tainos come in a SLB with burned in emblems. I imagine you went with EDC CCUA at that rate. That most likely would have the older larger warranty seal. I bet they looked great!

Actualy a very small seal. No red code numbers on the bottom. CIA P. FERNANDEZ on white trim under lable. Four trees Looks like six workers in the field. Funny lookin seal. SLB box Great lookin smokes. I`m about to try one now. My freind smoked one and loved it. Raved about it actualy so i`m not worried.Box code PEL EP00

Unfortunatly i split the cigar on the cut. Like a dummy i took the one i had in a jar out of my humi all weekend. It is smokin ok other than that. Meidium bodied very smooth smoke. Long sweet finish. Very nice with my beer.
