This article is even written ''tasty'' (and with plenty new ideas). What an enjoyement reading it. Thanks! :) Sometimes things can be very easy and surpirising in its simplicity. A little contribution if you don't mind: Last week I ran into a cheap, but (so it seemed) very nice Sauvignon Blanc...

LOL! Maybe you have seen to much sand lately ... anyway, keep safe Tim! :) They do sell cigars (and so), so yes, strictly spoken they are sources. Perhaps not what you have in mind when meaning ''sources'', but still ... However, let's not talk about it, shall we? :)

Not that I know of Shawn (outside some Dutch premium brands like Van Der Donk for example). I even think there is a vaster array of Habanos available in Germany then in the Netherlands.

La Flor Dominicana Reserva Expecial El Jocko Natural Vitola: ? (4 1/2 x 32-54) ~ Doble Figurado Though this brand is NA in the Netherlands, LFD's are real favorites of mine. This natural looks (and is!) milder then the darker version, but still is quite full-flavoured and full-bodied...

Of course I don't mind Bob. It's only nice to share an enjoyment! :) Talking about Cognac, the Genios also pairs great with a Cigar Reserve from Hine.

More like an ''USA only'' brand Shawn, which I got from a friend at CF.

Sorry Wilkey, no box code because they came from: which was a gift from Mr. Rafael Collazo Cabrera (on the right), director from the El Laguito factory in Cuba: They must have been quite fresh I can tell you, but tasty nonetheless! :)

Montecruz Negra Cubana, Cuban Corona Vitola: Coronas Gordas (5 5/8 x 46) ~ Parejo Reasonable smooth wrapper with a slightly shiny and somewhat oily surface. Passed the first part now and though it burns a little uneven, the draw is quite easy with a largely sufficient amount of smoke. The...

Works fine here ... ... and looks nice too! :)

Great cigars indeed! Personaly I have no complaints about the ''vitolas'', though new ones are always welcome to me. :) I think also the Secretos is wonderfull. I would even go as far to say it's a ''small miracle in cigars''. I've posted my review of the Genios for those who are interested.

Cohiba Maduro 5, Genios Vitola: Genio (5 1/2 x 52) ~ Parejo The wrapper looks reasonable smooth and somewhat leathery. It feels slightly oily. In short; it looks tasty (to me). The construction is OK (firm though resiliant) and so is the pre-draw. This cigar has a impecable draw, with a...

Say that again!

Cute pic Andrew, but if you call that half naked, I should keep away from the beaches of Holland (in the summer that is) if I were you! :p

Are they out of banana leaves these days? ;)

Just try one. If they are tasting great and you think they are worth the $, why care? :D
