I have smoked many of John's cigars over the past 8-10 years, and some were good, some not so much, but still on the level of other "customs" for a smoker that may smoke 5 customs a year, and some custom rollers I jsut do not liek their blends ... never really had any of JO's that stood out, or were "great" to the point of posting a thread over.  I guess I need to see what all the hype is about.  Aren't La Reina ERDM's ?  Not sure if those are even being rolled at El Lag...can anyone confirm based on a boxcode they have seen or received?

They were all rolled at EL according to Ajay.

Ajay Patel did a video on YouTube March 2018 while at El Laguito. He reviewed the La Reina in the latter part of the video and he stated "I think it has 1/4 or 1/2 Ligero". The title of the Video was:

Cohiba Robusto Reserva 2018-Habanos Festival 20th 2018

He reviewed the Reserva in the beginning as well. Also a cameo from Simon Chase at El Laguito. Hope someone can put together the Linky-thingy as barney Rubble is my internet professor and we haven't gotten to that chapter yet. John :beer:

I saw that youtube video a while ago...the La Reina are very very good from John...….but not worth the $40+ from H&F IMHO...Are they the same?  I don't know and don't care.... ;D

Just ordered a bundle a couple days ago and I am looking forward to trying these out soon. Great reviews and some very loyal fans here.... at the real release's MSRP, I doubt I will ever smoke the real thing.

Scored a fiver of the official release and wanted to smoke one today but after cutting it the cold draw was so full of ammonia that I put it back for some more rest...

now i'm intrigued.  anyone willing to let 5 or 10 go?
