riverratt had one about a week or ten days ago...youth seems to be gone(perfect burn , no juicy lip sting , solid ash etc)...very bland and boring and muted...for me a perfect example of a "sick" cigar.still enough hints of what it may(in the future)have to offer...not to give up on them.my...

reinaldo marevas...for me these are the best cuba has to offer. you can have your 1000rg and foot long cigars...pc's are what i smoke. when you go into villanueva...you ask for "fuerte fuerte fuerte"...then you go into where the lockers are(they have perhaps a thousand already rolled...

Rconectn opened a box of rs#12's from '01 this year...have had 2 or 3...still smoking young at 6 years. as strong as any punch cigar i have tried(tongue numbing strength)...true complexity is starting to show...very very tasty. but this is still a young cigar with less than perfect burn and...

IanHummel i still read every "i just smoked my first ISOM' and "i just smoked my first RASS"thread than gets posted.i let most threads run their course and if i have something to add(about cigars)i do.otherwise i dont post much. if i didnt i would never have met most of the people that i have...

assuming these are genuine as has been previously stated...some were made for the siglo XXI humidors in '99. the seal is pre 2000 my guess...they are from '99...in particular one of these months EPOO 05/99 ESOO 06/99 EUOO 07/99 EAOO 08/99 EOOO 09/99 LEOO 10/99 LLOO 11/99 LROO 12/99...

jan and others...one mans opinion of course...upmann allones and robainas all require lots of time...all three brands will increase in strength and flavour for AT LEAST 10 years...all three of these brands dont(to me)taste very good without substantial age. if you have the...

Satchmo i have smoked one box...they were 98's smoked about 2 years ago. if this is your size they are a really good smoke...bolivar taste(earthy tangy spicey)and above average in the strength department. 25 smokes from a single year hardly makes me an expert but i would say(once again if...

one mans opinion only...smokincao "How long should I put these guys to sleep until they're in their prime?" this question cannot be answered...vr's are a verrrrry young brand and there are NO aged robainas out there yet. the '97's are pretty good but NOwhere near their prime yet. i feel the...

Gonz the dip#4's are nice...in 9 years they have gone from nice to pretty darn good. for long term aging...i dont see anything wrong with the two upmann's...have multi boxes of both for just that. derrek :)

This thread is starting to scare me, especially since warmer and more humid summer months are coming. How well has this method worked for you Derrek? I'm thinking of trying this myself...

i freeze every box of cigars i bring home from cuba...i freeze every box of cigars i get online(not many but from time to time i buy online)...the few '06 boxes i have...already been frozen. learned this lesson the hard way in '01...dont care if they say all cigars are frozen in cuba before...

funny how perceptions differ...have a dec'02 cab that i feel is just barely smokable...had one last week it was the first one to be(what i concider)a good smoke...have tried nothing younger. another skewed perception (for he who thinks the ce is the strongest boli)...for me the strongest boli...

King for sheer volume of stock...partagas factory VIP room or the LCDH on 5th and 16th(would be a tossup which one has more cigars on display) best ambiance...villanueva derrek :)

Ludwig puffed through a box of non plus a few years ago and would get more if the oportunity arose...as much as i liked them the bachilleres are a better smoke i believe...more flavourful and a bit stronger. this is hearsay and not a personal observation and not proven fact...legend has it...

drew dont need close up or better focus. habanos sticker and warranty seal are not affixed to the box. i have NEVER seen this with a genuine box of cigars EVER. the ones you see for sale "on the beach" in cuba come like this fairly often. this is a SURE sign that they are "beach" cigars...

wilkey all time favorite(by a mile)...upmann super coronas next psd3 from '02(still have an untried box) magnum46...if they have a few years(so i voted for these) rs#11...if they have many , many years the further a cigar is from mareva size...the less chance i will smoke one(on any given...
