HIX: Well you have a sampler of 2 the D 4 AND D cigars it’s always a better idea to try what you have at hand before you state….. ’‘“. I could buy 10 and hate them and that leaves me an issue with what to do with them’” ITS TIME TO TRY ONE ☝️👍🤪

A reasonable Cuban to start with that I recommend, is a box of Upmann Half Corona (25) $125 ($5 each) A good cigar to start with and good price. Better than the R&J Mille Fleur IMHO If your up to buying a small box of 10, a much better cigar is the Partigas D 4. Will give you 40...

I order some from Australia and and New Zealand, the post office is very-very slow plus post office shutdowns and Covid. but remember the little bugs need only 7-10 days to hatch so we don’t need 30 days if larvae is present in cigars. ‘plus it’s always from my point of view, easy to freeze...

The dreaded tobacco beetle, Lasioderma serricorne. I must assume that these beetles are in all cigars. Years ago, most Cuban cigars were shipped with poor transport systems and sometimes having poor storage conditions. The scientific approach to storage conditions and treatment approaches to...

I’m sure if you could find a speciality grocery and/or vegetable market, it is offered. The best is horseradish Bohemian with their large white roots. I take the whole roots and slice then up and put the in a large jar with vinegar and they will last a lifetime Plus they get hotter over the years.

Purchased a antique three finger extra long cigar case For my Lancero and Churchill cigars. It’s an old Italian silver and leather case. While looking closely I remembered that there were some unknown initials inscribed on the silver 3 finger tube. It could be some personal initials but...

Your right, the fresh ones are stronger, and they still sell them. This was a 13 year old with obviously some mellowing with the years. But, Pepin was a great blender, from Cuba his purpose was re-create the Cuban style as closely as possible without using Cuban tobacco and these cigars has done...

I wish my next Monte Especial or Fundadore will smoke without any obstacles. ‘I wish to be able to find a box of Partigas series E.
