For those of you interested, R. Taboada is returning, or maybe already there, to LCDH TJ for a month. Enjoy.

Here are my two favorite places. Alfred Dunhill shop in Jermyn St. is a must visit even if you don't buy anything. The next one is JJ Fox in St. James St. and they have been around since the stone ages. Also you can check out C.Gars LTD of London on Waltham. But I have to warn you about the...

Based on my travels, unless you are shopping from a reputable shop which are few and far between in Mexico, anything else is fake until proven otherwise. But I have to agree with others. The pictures are hard to judge and they look pretty authentic. I guess the taste test is the ultimate probe.

Smithrob75. You are a stand up guy and I appreciate it. Maybe we can share a cigar sometime.

Incase you were serious....... NO.

Why post this message in this forum if it has nothing to do with discussing Habanos? By the way Smithrob75. With all due respect, the little movie you have going in your messages is pretty disturbing and I try to ignore it but it is right in my face. Would you be so kind to remove it. I think...

George, I don't mean to open a can of worms, but I think it is silly to lecture anyone here about what is legal and what is not especially when the bulk of our advertisers, like the one at the top of this page, are for Cuban cigars. It is certainly not illegal to discuss them, is it? At least...

Wow. The guy asks a simple question and look what he gets. First of all, welcome to the board. Now back to your question, Monte #2 is one of the most popular cigars in the world, including this world. They used to be an mazing smoke and due to its popularity and demand, its quality went down...

I have a good story about the P2. In mid 2004 in one of my trips to ISOM I noticed that Taboada was rolling a lot of torpedos which is an unusual vitola for him. I had hardly see him roll any torpedos since I knew him back in '01. I asked him about it and he said that they were experimenting...

Actually the PLPC is back in production although in small quantities. The PLMC is machine made. The only part that is rolled by hand is the wrapper, due to its size which machine cannot roll. So as a purist point of view it is a machine made cigar nevertheless. But that doesn't make it a bad...

Is this a joke? Because I am not laughing. It is exactly that cavalier attitude that will land you in hot water. Discretion should be a virtue practiced by anyone travelling to those parts of the world and even more so here in this site. I thought we were talking about not revealing sources and...

Oh also remember one more thing. I always hear people blindly pursuing a certain cigar because it is "rare" or discontinued. Being a rare cigar does not guarantee good quality. Sometimes there is a reason that some lines are discontinued e.g. lack of interest from the public due to poor...

They are giving you bad information. There are no handmade Monte Carlos.These are machine made only. Well you know what they say....if it is too good to be true........

I agree with others.The petite corona is a wonderful cigar full of creamy and caramel flavors. But if I am not mistaking they only come in cab. 50 boxes and can't be had for 95 euros, especially from 1998. If indeed they are what they are for that price the guy doesn't know what he has. Snatch...

.......second that.

Interesting question and even more interesting quote from the CA editor. Here is what I have learned from my travels. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to who has favorite status with the Cubans. You could be their darling today and find yourself completely cut-off the next. But...

SLRA. I have mentioned in the past that this cigar is the most consistent cigar I have had. I also like the Punch Punch but not as consistent as the SLR. Just ordered another box of SLR cab 50's by the way.

He has very interesting finds in there. In his Nov. 16th 2004 post he talks about Por Larranaga Petite Corona. One of my good friends introduced me to this brand and he let me try this same vitola. Wow. Lots of creamy and caramel taste notes which is rather unique and hard to find in others...

Looks Great. I gotta Cab 50 of RASS couple of months ago from "Chris". Color a little light for my tatse but they smoke wonderful. Half gone already. It is probably my all time favorite robusto out of the box. Enjoy.
