Holy chit Batman! Over at one of the top Cuban places, they’re selling a Montecristo Robustos Reserva Del Milenio 1999 jar for almost $16,000!

Crazy, just frankin’ crazy! 😱

Tonight I decided on a Partagas 898 from 2014.
It was a great choice.

In the pool jacuzzi this morning:

SIL-to be: Bolivar Coronas Junior. He loved it.
Me: ERDMCS- 2014. Outstanding. Smoth, a little spice, tobacco, honey(?) sweetness!

Both from a very generous CBID BOTL!

Second cigars of the day:

Future SIL: HdM Epi No.1- "Delicias the whole way through."

Me" 10+ year old H.Upp. Conn. No.1- Herbal, strong burnt tobacco and sweet. Tobacco taste was still to strong for the first 1/3 and I was getting ready to put it down, but then it settled down quickly at that point and the sweet, floral and lightly toasty tobacco prevailed. This cigar was stronger and not a smooth as I expected flavorwise given its age- I would love to revisit one at 15 years and 20 years as the strength for aging was there. Won't get these again despite my love of H. Upp.

Anyone think I need to freeze new cigars for longer than 3 days at 0F? Or, should I go 5 days?

I had a V about 10 years ago and thought it was mild to medium, but bland is all I remember. It was small format cigar, maybe a Souane. It could be that it was past its prime. I think it was grassy...

New ones any good?

The line was completely changed years ago. New vitolas and all hand rolled IIRC. Still on the mild+ or medium side but a pretty good deal until recent pricing. Used to get the 16 cans of robusto sized (Centrofino) for under $80.

Interesting. I have only smoked a handful of Vs, but I like them (a lot) because I find them to be fuller and richer than most of the other coobans I've smoked. The link describes them as medium to full. I would agree with that. But cigars hit different people differently.

Now a can is more in the $160 range, which seems to be a good bit less than other cooban long fillers nowadays. I'm waiting for a monthly promotion to drop the entretiempos to $130 or $140, and I'll probably get another can.

Smoked a HdM Epicure # 1 today that needed a whole lot of help from the perfecdraw to smoke.
