Cigar thread

thanks for the help

I found even in cuba you have to be careful at the gorerment shops not even interested in dealing with street vendors or the likes. bought a box of Cohibas at a govt shop in cuba for some reason I decided to open it in the shop not sure why and the box was frickin empty. now I open everything wright there and then (after paying)

Hard to spot the quality "counterfeit" cigars without experience and knowing what to look for. For the novice I have always referred them to check out http://www.cigaraficionado.com/Cigar/CA_Counterfeits/Counterfeit_Gallery/0,3390,,00.html before making any purchase.

But even that's no guarantee these days, it seems as in everything the old adage "Caveat emptor" applies even in the cigar trade.

A Review

After thinking it over, I would have concur with Cigar Aficionado’s web review of
Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 (Torpedo).
It’s a pressed, attractive cigar with great oils and nice color. It's nutty, earthy and sweet, with a medium to full body. I will just add that these sticks draw very well and are superbly constructed.
 
Hoyo.........

Hoyo de MOnterry du prince.

epicure #2

Punch double corona(cuban)

my absolute all time fav....la gloria, out of havana or a distant second miami
