You should be! I mean gosh, China hates me and I'm messing up diplomacy!

PL Picadores, thanks to cbd!

Juan Lopez Seleccion No 1 (2017)

Are Ravi's custom rolls any good?

Guantanamera Minutos

Box of 20 for $53, that includes shipping. Come's to $2.65 per stick, fits my budget perfectly.

The first inch leaves something to be desired but the more you suck the better it gets. ;)

Cuban yard gar?, whoda thunk it.

Behike 52?

Was gifted to me in probably 2013ish on here. Wanted to save it for special occasion and decided this weekend at bachelor party was perfect timing. Thank you to the giftee, cbid strikes again!

That the 'Bespokes' or Ravi's? Ravi lists his in the CC cat, not the NC and I've always taken him as an honest broker.

Couple of new boxes of PSD#4 from AMP Nov '20. Pulled one today before they go in the freezer. Surprisingly very enjoyable ROTT. Gonna try another after they come out and if it's the same these will jump ahead of older boxes in the rotation. Prolly not a long term ager IMO.

Yep.

I'm trying to smoke a H. Upmann Mag 46 right now that is plugged. The same as about 30% of the Cuban cigars I have tried to smoke. I'm conditioned at this point that if it's Cuban, the construction sucks.

Maybe they don't like me.

Of the last 4 I've tried to smoke, 2 were plugged beyond any real repair, and 2 were just very chitty draws.

I smoked my first one in about 2005, and it's been my consistent experience that Cuba consistently makes the chittiest quality cigars, construction-wise, of any country. By a fairly wide margin.

Or get a Perfecdraw. Saved numerous Cubans, some Nicaraguans, a few Dominicans, and a couple Hondurans.... as well as a Victor Sinclair of undetermined origin

Or what Macs said. That works too

Congrats Shaun!

VR Famous from a split with Shaun - dark and oily wrapper for a VR - needs time

Vegeros Centrifinos from a tin of 16 - first one I have ever tried - meh

With all the price increases from Cuba over the past few years my choices have shrunk, as have the cigars. Lately has been MC4, Partagas Shorts and Romeo Corinitos en Cetros. I sure used to love RASS, Edmundos, Magnum 46's and Siglo II's and ERDM Choix Supremes.... but have been priced out.

HDM EE .....yum...hey its been aged for 6 months.....thats forever for me LOL

Adjust your RH to something low, like 62%.

Party Short

did you get lost in the deep Web?

that's a really good question

El Rey Del Mundo Demi Tasse size of a thick cigarette (30 x 40). About 15 years old. First half lasted almost 45 minutes! Ate a chocolate bar while smoking it and the flavor still came through. Delsih flavor bomb.

RASS. about 10 years old. Blissful. I smoked it almost to the bitter end. Earthy, sweet, wood, leather and creamy. Odd blue-ish) smoke. Down to my last one from a cab (I think/don't remember).
