I suppose it is possible that the fakers have never seen the real deal........ or a real box of Cuban cigars... or the Cuban Cigar Website..... or really care..... They will run out of fakes before they run out of suckers...........

Upmann Anejados? did I miss something here?:eek:

the EML March '14 sticks are surprisingly good for a young PLPC. I have a TOS '16 box that is a bit forward as well, but still youngish enough to tell right away that they need a couple of years. I found the '13s very backward, and did not go deep for this reason, but I think they will come...

Nica filler and binder with an Ecuadoran wrapper. Probably will not be found in the US. These are from a Habanos dealer in Switzerland. I have smoked four of these now,just an excellent cigar. I tried the Aguila robusto, heckuva stick. Showed better than I expected. Same huge aromas, no break...

After two days of hurricane,I decided to grab an Aguila and head for the cave.I chose the torpedo. Construction was spot on,only took one brief touch up near the last third. Interesting aroma pre light,deep cured tobacco,taste was sweet tobacco,fresh. First third was a riot of floral and spice...

Well Doc,you have had it in for me from the first day.   Care to discuss what has you all riled up?   So far you have walked right over the rules and guidelines established here. Rule 2     Respect Rule 3     No Flaming Rule 5    No Baiting Rule 7 No defamation or harassing.   Whatever you want...

Thank you Blinded by Science,you aptly prove my point.   You claim factual knowledge that "several  of the world's best cigar families and blenders" etc etc. Who are they? What is your source?   It may surprise you to learn that a few companies currently have partial Cuban blends,Don Ursulo and...

Obviously your source is Waaay out of the loop.   There have not been ammonia problems in Cuban cigars  since 2003. There is no point in blending anything with Cuban tobacco,it would ruin the blend and the profiles of cigars that have been enjoyed worldwide for over a century. Tight cigars are...

Pardon me if I do not grasp your meaning,was I being unfriendly?   Do you think I am just passing by?   I was seeking an explanation.I was not passing judgement or complaining about the status quo......   As far as reputation,does one not build one by interaction and participation ...

And ,like a bad wine,after three years it is still bad. I reviewed ten or twelve CR.cigars a few years back from a company that wanted to enter the US market.   Of all of them,there were two that would have had any chance of making any progress here,and that would have been with some serious...

I find it curious that it is not allowed to discuss CC sources,and at the same time there is a banner at the top of the screen every time I come online, with the names and a come hither format from two CC sources.   Would someone please tell me the rationale behind the ban on discussing sources...

you got change coming.............   spend 8.00 on a Padron..........

when you can buy Gurkha for 3.00 each from cigars international,in selections and by the box,it really helps you see the real value of the product. I have smoked 15 or 20 different Gurkha cigars,never puked from one,never found one I would buy a box of.   I have enjoyed cigars for 40 years,and...

been waiting for a La Gloria robusto.............

too bad,I know you were excited............
