I've recently smoked some LIMITADA RESERVA 2nd's from CI - robusto & corona & a reserve oscuro churchill from 07/08 & am finding them very much in my flavor profile! Worst thing is I dont even know who the blender is??

Anyone care to share any thoughts on this brand?

PDR is hit or miss in my opinion. The 1878's especially the Capa Oscuro is a very very good cigar. And the BOTL 2010 LE's were great as well. Their standard lines didnt do a lot for me though.

you know I love these too brother as you bombed me with one and was very impressed. The guy behind PDR is on here so hopefully he'll chime in...

 

[E Dogg]

btw. The Obsidian is very good too. I could smoke both of these all day every day

Really enjoyed the seleccion reserva limitada that was bombed to me. Will be looking to buy more when the time is right!

Abe Flores is the blender. I bombed Loki with several for him to review, so once those go up you can get a sense of the line.

Abe Flores?? doesn't ring a bell - any other info available other than waiting on Loki's reviews?

the sun growns are good stuff

Outside Santiago Dom Rep, moving to a bigger facility right now. What do you want to know?

Pretty much anything? What factory, family, history - whatever you can offer??

Dont quote me on any of this, its been a while since I heard Abes story. But I believe Abe got into the business with a grower from Davidoff. Abes entire family were also tobacco farmers and he learned what he knew about tobacco from his grandfather and translated that to his cigars. So he is a bit of a darkhorse given he had no blending pedigree within his family that I know of. Only knowledge of tobacco from working on the farms.

Cool - thanks for the info - looks like a little googling in my future.

Loved both the Oscuros and the Sun-Growns. Really nice and good value both of them. Am keeping my eyes open for more to try...

 

[mrsmitty]

Every PDR I've had thus far I've enjoyed. I just got a few Obsidian's in, can't wait to try them.

I'm a big fan of the BOTL 2010's, and also the Sun Growns. I have a sampler of some of the others that I haven't gotten around to trying yet.

Hm, I misread the thread title and thought it was about PBR.

They are working man's daily smoke cigars. He blends to be affordable quality.

 

[Oldmso54]

hey guys - nothing wrong with PBR either = on eof my staples of college life. Plus my uncle Joe (god bless him) used to always let me & my cousin finish the last sip when we would watch Yankee games on TV when I would visit each summer in Brooklyn. And we were only 11-12 yr olds. good times & good memories. Havent had 1 since college but may have to buy a 6 pk for old times sake
