It’s dead

Happy birthday!

Happy bday!

They are in fact, as good as you remember (sorry) All this talk is making my feel a certain kind of way about turning the 4 in my open box into 3.

The solution is light them on fire, the opportunity cost only matters if you think of the cigars as commodities. I think of them like food, I’m not going to the French Laundry and bringing that shit home to put in the freezer for a rainy day to recoup some cash.

I’ve never seen a clasp like that on a PL cab, that is wild. Based on just what we can see of the wood and clasp this pre-dates the 60s for sure, so basically any time pre-embargo. I am guessing the seleccion central designation means it was for domestic consumption, since PL was primarily...

Dear Clint, Best wishes in these trying times.

The 06+ release is my favorite “production” cigar ever, I think it is superior to the Wolters release from 2004. Now what I really want to try is one of the 70s or 80s BGM but I haven’t ever even seen one. If there is a white whale, that’s it.

I had one of these for years and it was great. I can’t remember exactly how it got destroyed but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t my fault.

I’m astonished you got anything out of them, what a nice result

I like it when the commie spam bots bump old pass threads, good excuse to see some old names.

I was actually impressed, the Ecuadorian wrapper works very well with the blend. I forgot I was smoking a WOA for a minute and ran it a bit too hot, but as long as I was patient it was on point.

Finally trying one of the rare pinks for 24 years @grateful1. If it sucks it’s your fault.

Trying one of these finally

Have you tried the most recent BGM before this (06-09 I believe?) I haven’t tried the new ones yet but curious how they compare.

Happy bday Dan!

Happy bday!

And this is why Cubans pre mid-90s have a definitively different profile from later grows (the switch from the OG Corojo leaf to fight mold happened in the early 90s but new grows still had to cure and there was plenty of mixed bag wrapper leaf around still). It also explains the high variance...

Some of the remaining CF folks moved over to Facebook groups when the board went down, I’m sure a lot of the seasoned members are on private boards too. They don’t let me into private boards for some reason I just can’t understand, but they are out there.

This whole thread is a weird fever dream
