The ERdM Flor De Llaneza and the Brazilia Lambada are two of my favorite
regular smokes. Are the Ultimates comparable? Cabs or regulars?

The Ultimantes are milder and less complex, but they're damned good.

I like the EMS Corona.


Yo, Dude. The corona ( 5.62 x 45) is my favorite of the Ultimates as well.
And they are often available in the candella/claro wrapper, which I enjoy
from time to time. $60 for a box or 25 (not 20).

The No. 5, another corona (6.12 x 44), is a hit with me too, and cost the
same.

Howdy all,
I am very sorry that I was unclear in my original post... the format
was meant to have why the smoke is unusual for you to like.
At least for me, I am finding that, as my tastes refine/or just as I
age, I am enjoying a wider variety of tobacco blends and cigars. Many
that are outside of what was once a fairly narrow "guideline/norm" for
me.
It still surprises me when I smoke one that I had either smoked years
before, know about or just know from the smoke that I normally would
not like; but do, very much, enjoy.
Up until now all I ever wanted to smoke in stogies were spicy, heavy,
maduros, nice and strong, but not tanic at all, a pepper finish
preferred... but that seems to be changing, at least from time-to-time.

The most extreme example I can think of is the Montecristo White.
A gift at a party and was I ever blown away... it was light, not very
spicy, but something about how the flavors stacked on the palette, the
perfect draw, the wonderful wrapper flavor, an amazing top-note and a
complex finish made me want another. Every Montecristo I have ever
smoked left me wanting... this one left me wanting more.
Amazingly confusing, like having a wine cooler and falling in love with
it.
