My personal preferences in Habana smokes are for the larger vitolas - DCs, Churchills - the Belicoso is probably the 'smallest' cigar I regularly enjoy... Therefore my experience with the PCs and TPCs is rather limited (although I am really enjoying a gift box of RASCCs I received for Xmas.)...

Aprox one week in the Humi before I sample the 1st cigar(and it took me quite a while to muster that much will power...) Initially, I would always try a stick the day it arrived --- now I'm happier waiting a week or so.

I have had the opportunity of enjoying the smokes on your list and agree that there are some outstanding cigars here. I cast my vote for the Mag 46 owing to the fact that this is one cigar that I enjoy fresh, young, aged and all gradations in between. The Cohiba with some Humi time is a lovely...

Unless it's a pot of Mexican Mayhem to wash it down with... :thumbs:

Another Welcome greeting from New Jersey.

Congrats on discovering a great hobby and passion so many good people share...and welcome to Cigar Pass. :thumbs:

In similar fashion - try the Partagas de Luxe.....they are also in a bronze colored A/T (with a black/gold Partagas label) and come in 2 Vitolas, the 212 and the #712...you want the 700 Series which is Totalmente a mano --- for a little over $5 - this is a great value for a really delicious...

I'm afraid that if the US Customs gets involved in your transaction - charging a separate fee will be the least of your worries. But the letter you receive from them after they confiscate the contraband cigars will explain it all. :0 As others have said here - now that you have made your...

Your powers of recall are accurate as ever Tim...... the "better" box was in fact from our "non-intact" friend and the intact Feb box was from a land down under....but those sticks are coming around beautifully as well.... :thumbs:

Bro. Tim !!!!! I'm really pleased that you found your way over to Cigar Pass as well - it really does appear to be a much 'saner' forum - they actually talk about cigars here unlike some other sites !!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: I know that you also love those aged SP Belicoso - now that we are...

2nd tier DOES NOT MEAN 2nd rate ! The point of my posting was that there are some OUTSTANDING Habana cigars out there that are made and sold by companies without the marketing and sales clout of the "Big Boys.." and subsequently they are not as well known, i.e., they are the 2nd tier in the...

At the $300 threshold you should be able to get a LOT of choice. How about the grand-daddy of all Churchills (the vitola (Julieta No.2) that was HIS personal favorite and now carries his name) - the RyJ Churchill - under $250. There are also currently a few offerings for some sticks with age -...

I smoked a No.2 along with our after breakfast coffee waiting to get to the 1st Tee on Saturday (my buddy who gave me the stick thought it was from '01 or '02 but wasn't sure..... either this was the strongest cup of coffee ever brewed ---or this cigar had NO TASTE as the coffee totally...

This weekend I participated in a different type of Herf...The challenge of this solely Habana product gathering was to bring cigars ONLY from what is describred in some circles as the "2nd Tier" manufacturers... No Montecristo, Partagas, Upmann, HdM, Punch or RyJ allowed..... We were challenged...

The reply that a mooched cigar is not a gift is a great insight. It has happened to me a few times on the golf course where a fellow member (not necessarily someone I know well enough to consider a friend, just someone I know from seeing around the Club) will approach me and comment about how...

Bobby, It is ALWAYS a real pleasure to share a Forum with you ! :thumbs: See you at our next Jersey Herf real soon.....

Enjoyed reading your review and agree with your conclusions. The Diplo line again shows that a cigar does not have to be a nicotine bomb, knock you down, and turn you green experience in order to deliver excellent taste and enjoyment...and these represent an excellent bang for the buck over...

Thanks Stogieman - HOOAH !!!!! ----- I know "your neck of the woods pretty well", Cornwall, Storm King Mtn Arts Center, Rt. 9W etc... as we have just finished visiting there for the last 4 years while our daughter was attending the US Military Academy at West Point. Our brand new 2LT branched...

Normally, 2001 is viewed as a terrible year from which to select the smaller ring cigars as the construction problems and almost impossible draw produced far more frustration and disapointment than smoking enjoyment..... So many vendors found themselves with a lot of stock from '00 and '01 and...

I've been very pleased with this new Partagas release. Even though these cigars are so young - the Partagas spice taste and distinctive aroma are already present and coming more and more into the smoking experience with each passing month. At a recent Herf - I distributed both the FMI ENE05 as...
