Meh it's ok, I just don't think the two really go well together.

Here's what I got from the H&F party. Just missing that Eagle above!

I was at the Hunters and Frankau launch of the Open Monte's last night in London. The general consensus was that they weren't all that great and needed some serious ageing. We were given each one except the mighty Eagle. I thought it best to smoke a Sublime I had on my person and keep the...

Yep that's what I'm saying. We've seen many dozens like it. Looking like a pretty standard thing for the exporters to do.

I'd just thought I'd say, after looking in many stores (and getting quite a lot more monte's through) that there's definitely colouring differences on the bands in general - some are visibly darker than others - and it tends not to be something you can use to verify a genuine from a fake.

Don't know if anyone's noticed, but a lot of the old boxes going through are being repackaged with this on top of the old seal. (Edit: Which the Habanos link clearly states anyway...) They also take off the ID number. Presumably so they can't be traced any further. Well the imports I (and other...

Blimey I love the smell AND the look! Bloody love them - picked up a few in Madrid a while back, but more importantly, mate just bought me back a box from Cuba at 113 CUC. Nice.

Funny thing about those D LE's - a store here in the UK has absolutely tonnes of boxes. So much so that we can usually get a few quid off if we ask nicely. Strange they haven't been snapped up quicker. Personally not had any - can anyone comment on them? I'm off to a cigar party held by...

If I can stop playing COD5. But yeah I'll pre-purchase and have it delivered on the day. Top series.

What an amazing post! Thanks for sharing. I doubt I'll be flying like this...ever.

Ah the majority of the leg work for the walk was performed by the organizer; Nic. Credit where credit's due, he was superb, as was the walk. And yes. The brandy we had at Davidoff (Bourdon House) followed by the Champagne at the Davidoff store (and accompanying goodie bag) and the subsequent...

I was one of the walkers! I own a UK cigar forum on the side, which I'm not going to advertise here, as it's certainly not appropriate, nor is it in competition with the brilliant cigar pass, however suffice to say that we organised a dozen of us to go on the walk, and the organiser of the walk...

I actually endend up in Dubai instead of Madrid lol, so I won't be of much use. Veryyy late change of plan for me!

Cheers guys. You just get so paranoid due to all the faux's out there. Love the PE and full Edmundos equally.

New bands on the right
