Monty #2. It's a good batch so far, but this one does not want to stay lit. I guess it's to be expected.

Hoyo De San Juan 2106 Tubo

I predict that was a great cigar.

Yeah cuz it was aged too long...just like us, the older we get the less we stay lit....ROTT!

Trinidad Media Luna .....yummy!

Trini Coloniales 2018 - lost the sharp edge these had when new and now a wonderful smoke

When you get them you won't need to freeze them since they are sitting in a frozen warehouse right now.

So.... Where to get cubins?
I tried Montefortuna because I had a free shipping code.
When I put in the code, it was recognized and shipping showed 0 on the preview.
On the final bill, shipping was added again.

I thought, if they can't get that right, I'll prolly never get my gars...

^^^I get the feeling your comment wasn't entirely sincere...

Cheapprick, you should keep your eyes posted on the forum for a cc box split. Being a noob to Cubans I found this to be the best way to try some.

When I was a noob, Wheelrite read me the riot act for even asking. Didn't get it then but kind of do now. Most forums tend to just post names now but from my understanding the embargo is back on so naming sources in public forums sounds risky for the vendors again.

What do you smoke, I'll make sure to jump on them when there in stock again

What's the word on the Monte 1s on sale? Not a Monte fan but nh and love the lonsdale size in most cigars.

Yep. Back in the day even asking was taboo.

I don't believe I have ever smoked a Monte #1. But the USPS says my Coloniales are out for delivery as of 0640 this morning. WOOHOO!

Rest? Why? Thats no fun! ROTT!!!!

Indeed... cracked open the box and pulled one out... took the dog for a walk and enjoyed the hell out of it.

JUL 2020, but Trini ferments 3 times like Cohiba does, so the tobacco is pretty well aged before they roll the futher muckers.

Over the weekend :

Many Party Shorts 2016
JL # 2 2017
Monte Edmundo 2017

Which singles did you order? PM you addy and I'll put together a small sampler.

Good looking out deadeye

I have two in my humidor. Not sure how long to wait on them. That’s the only two I have

Got in on the box split coming up so I’ll have to see how long to rest those. Didn’t wanna burn one young then regret it.

Ask fiddler about their age and when to smoke them. Eventually you need to experience young and aged to decide.

That's not what hnixon told me

Hoyo Serie DE Rio Seco '19 I really likey these

Depends. I like the San Juans but I'm leaning toward medium and your statement says thats not enough. Definitely, the Rio Seco are stronger but I would not recommend them to you. Plenty of smaller ring to amp the strength in other marcas. In my experience Hoyo's whole lineup are on the mild-medium spectrum.

Honestly, I don't try many Montes because the few I have had were less than stellar with a mixed in goodie here and there. I thought I'd give it another go because of price and the fact that it may be a size that isn't around much longer possibly. Your comment about the pricing for long and skinny ones makes me feel even better about my purchase though.

Package delivered and gratefully received.
They have been through a harrowing experience, so I'll let them rest for a few and enjoy them in warmer weather.

I'm saving your addy cause I owe you 1. Don't be surprised if you get a post card one day.
