These will be around shortly for a lot less. Patience grasshopper :D

$120 shipped intact seems to be a reasonable rate now...

:(

After Castro kicks... all bets are off :cool:

Let's see... Popular line of "regular" reasonable cigars... Release massive 50+RG monster... Increase price and affix second band for regional release... Go to 50 cab packaging... Pump up the price... Where have I seen this formula before ??? I'm guessing that a huge, expensive, limited...

I had probably the best smoking week of the year thus far... 07 JL #2 96 Fonseca Cosaco 01 Partagas Lonsdale 98 Partagas PC 01 LGC Tainos 98 Partagas Lusitania 97 Cohiba Esplendido 01 SLR Regios ... I need a break this weekend :blush:

Habanos seems to have a fetish for boxing their limited editions way after the year on the EL band. Take, for example, the original release of the PSD#3 ELs in "2001". The first box codes for these was JAN 02! I have genuine Cohiba Sublimes from MAY 05. I wouldn't be surprised if there were...

I think that you will find that it's the norm, rather than the exception when you do not find one of these devices in your shipping box. Considering the close quarters that your goods would have with the very wet humidification media, and the fact that a taped cardboard box wouldn't really hold...

Can't leave an NJ brother hangin... PM me your addy :thumbs:

If it tasted like chicken... you'd be better off buying chicken ;)

? Does that make them like a "third" to the Villazon stuff?

:D Soooooooon!

Don't worry, it sounds like something I have no interest in lol :whistling:

I'm pretty sure that MSRP is $17.50 so 4 bucks worth of markup, tobacco, and sales tax isn't completely unreasonable.

I've never had either, but this was a great topic. I'm curious to know as well.

You sure you got a fake? I've had horrible experience with smoking in very cold weather regarding how tastes can change dramatically.

Hmmm interesting. I have only smoked one, but I actually was struck by how beautiful the wrapper was. Some people think that this is an overrated, overpriced stick, but given the experience that I had with the one that I smoked, I would tend to disagree. However, if I were to have seen this...

Just because the information about where to get Cubans doesn't mean that there isn't good info on spotting and avoiding fakes. There are several members here who have a vast knowledge of many of these cigars and often with patience, politeness, and just a smidgen of humility, they feel very...

Nice review. I took a couple puffs off of a Chateau Margaux at a herf and I found it to be, just as you said, a very interesting smoke. I found a lot of herbal and floral notes to complement those fruit flavors that you mentioned. Man, this makes me want to sprak up the one and only Davidoff...

I picked up a couple bottles and I have to say that this beer needs to sit for about 6 months or more. I found it to be very choppy and hot. The flavors were very separated and somewhat out of balance.
