What, no pics?! Nice review Phil; glad it turned out to be an enjoyable, if not out-of-this-world-good, cigar :thumbs:

Happy b-day bro :thumbs:

Sweet, I was running low on White Owls! PM incoming :thumbs:

1492 1994 Partagas 150

Come on, of course things happen and teams get beat that aren't supposed to. #1 seed Sonics in the 90s and #1 seed Mavs just a couple of years ago were both beaten in the 1st round. That doesn't mean though that there aren't prohibitive favorites which the Lakers and Cavs clearly are. I guess...

Surprising no one has mentioned Trinidad Reyes. I don't drink much coffee, but this is one of the best cigars to go with it imo.

Sad about Garnett just because he is such a great competitor and team player. However, having him healthy probably wouldn't make a difference in reaching their ultimate goal, a championship. Cleveland was the favorite in the East even if Garnett was healthy; but with LA having Bynum back, I...

Back to our regularly scheduled programming, I have not seen that on my boxes Gary. Then again, I only 3 '08 boxes.....

Congrats bro! Bolivar CE Pardon 1926 #6 Anejo #50

Happy b-day Tom :thumbs:

Hope you have a good one Sam and are able to smoke something good :thumbs:

First, I think everyone would agree that Cubans deserve and would love to have the freedoms we do in the U.S. However, the embargo is not going to help them get those freedoms. Historically, economic embargoes have not had much success at trying to create change in the embargoed country...

In response to the statement in bold, how exactly has the embargo helped the Cuban people over the past 47 years? No doubt that the Castro brothers have done horrible things to their people, but can you honestly say that their actions are any worse than China, Saudi Arabia, or any one of the...

I'm glad you figured it out. Of course, if you would have looked at my post above, it probably would have given you the answer sooner. Not to mention the reason why one band was loose and the other fit snug ;)

Sorry to hear about all the bad smoking experiences with this cigar. Just some food for thought, this is one of the most widely faked cigar today, and some are very detailed and made of cuban tobacco. I know of a couple of very experienced CP'ers who had fake Sublimes in their posession and...

One was sold in the last several months privately for $2000 and I know a vendor had them available a year or two ago for around the same. So yes, very reasonable price, but odd to say the least....

I'm confused Jim, the only 1998 Trinidad Cajon of 75 that was released contained Fundadores. Is this the one you are talking about? If it is, I was gifted one last year and it wasn't any different than any of the other '98 Fundis I have had. $750 seems awfully cheap for these....

A billion or two...

I'm not sure the best way to answer your question, but I'll give you some of my thoughts. Each vintage for each cigar is going to be different, much like wine I would guess. I don't think you can say with certainty (at least I can't) which particular vintage is going to have a flavor profile...

That's what I remember as well Sam. The exchange rate was much worse back when they came out, so I think US$ was around $23-28 range.
