I've read that very edition and well worthwhile reading.

Some more great info on Peso cigars to be found HERE along with a couple of pictures! They are machine rolled and aren't anything special to look at, or smoke but for the price, the best yard gars I know of. Personally, I've seen very few Cubans smoke cigars. There are several national brands...

Thank you kindly for the wishes folks. I prefer to look at it as "half a hundred", but in the end, it's still only a number, right? On the smoking menu for this afternoon is a Bolivar from '03 with a couple of Americanos, and after a steak dinner, a Shark with a few fingers of HC7 on ice.

Sorry to hear about your loss my friend. Rainbow Bridge

We get to go to Cuba, but you Americans have all these fine vendors looking for business on the boards. We're lucky in one way, you guys are lucky in another.

Great thread, and some pictures that stir the heart and senses. I like the fact that the same person (Robbie) posted pictures from both perspectives. Having been to Cuba numerous times I've seen both the beauty and the squalor depicted above. But on the other hand, we've seen the same in North...

I met one guy in Cuba who paid $45 CUP for a box of Esplindidos (real thing of course:rolleyes:). He'd stand around one of the bars every afternoon and evening with one of those cigars and a full glass of booze (Scotch I assume) and before EVERY draw he's dip the head into the glass. It was...

Picked it up today and in great shape. Thank you all kindly, for the extras, and for making this pass a success. Looking forward to the next one. Jim :p http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieppe,_New_Brunswick Canada exists east of the Ontario / Quebec border!!!:sign:

Bump to the top in honour of November 11th, 2009. Again, thanks to those who've served, are serving and will in the future.

Cripes bro, even if you smoked 4 a day you're good for years without ever buying another cigar. Nice collection

Yes, that is a nice smoke. What did you burn it in? I always smoke that in a Meer. I smoked it in a Blatter & Blatter Canadian once and it made 1792 taste like Penzance which wasn't good.

Nicely dried Bob's Chocolate Flake in an old Willard bent billiard. Wonderful smoke.

That is soooooooooo cruel. Might be fun to watch, but still cruel.

I discovered JLPs on my last trip to Cuba and can assure you it wasn't my last purchase of this brand. I believe that the JLPs could be the best smoking deal in all of Cuba.

Damn Greg, that unlit stick looks exactly like an RP Edge maddy. Even has the band on the foot!! To bad you had a rough one. Take out the dry part where you just got it in the mail, and from your description it almost seemed like it was too wet. On a different note, I'm envious and jealous of...

Well stated. That too. A few years back on my second trip to Cuba, a short time after I started smoking cigars, I bought only what people on the Boards said they liked. Didn't take me long to figure out that I had a bunch of cigars that didn't really do it for me. Now when I go, I'll buy...

His hair was perfect

Great review as usual Greg. I had my first one of these a few nights back and found it one of the best Tat's I've had.
