Did you guys see this? (cubans sold in rochester)

[thejollyco]

Okay, so i just remembered hearing something at my home town that i thought i should bring up here.

So, for those of you in the know, the "NERVE" radio station moved its channel to over 100 khz band. I found it in ithaca, and it's a rochester based real rock radio station.

Okay, i'm just explaining what happened, hold your pants up. So, one day I heard an ad on the radio explaining that there would be "real" cuban cigars sold at a cigar shop there for like one day only. I forgot about it until recently. I found the article here.

Apparently, it's by the Pinar company using pre-embargoed tobakky, kept in "pristine" condition.

What do you guys think? Also, did anyone (know about)/(go to) this?

I've had a Pinar B before. I can't remember if it was a toro, robusto or corona. I do remember it was kinda...decent. It was my first "Cuban" I smoked, so it stayed on my mind. If it hadn't been my first "Cuban", I surely would have forgotten it. The 'B's are blends and I think they have an A which is all pre-embargo filler.

I don't think it would be a bad cigar to pick up, more for the novelty aspect than for serious smoking satisfication...atleast as far as the "B"'s are concerned.


(Looking at "satisfication"...it looks misspelled)

I have heard this on the radio too. It's Dewey Ave Smoke Shop. I go in there to buy my singles because they are closest to me but I have been thinking about going someplace else because i don't know if I am too impressed with them.

Do a search on Pinar and you'll be able to read all about these.

heh, i know about pinars. (i was trying to be sarcastic, but i guess i failed)
i was just wondering what you guys thought of the "gimmick".

Yeah I've heard it -- I laughed out loud when I first heard it actually. It's yet another lame marketing gimmick from Pinar.

BTW, thejollyco... you're not far away, when ya coming up for a visit? We can hit The Havana Club... poker is played on Wednesdays and Fridays... let me know!

Moki I need to get back home for a smoke

 

[thejollyco]

i haven't been to rochester in a while.

curious info tho, last time i went, i did some "urban" exploration in the abandoned underground subway (last winter). creepy stuff.

then i went to dinasaur bbq, which was awesome, but i was afraid the bikers were going to kill me.

 

[caudio51]

I have a cigar that the guy claimed was pre-embargo...bunch of BS but I took it anway.

I've never heard about pinar but will google it and do some reading.

LOL... I drove the truck (pulling my trailer and equipment) from one end of the subway to the other 2 weeks ago... it's pretty creepy down there. I think I will stick to keeping the grass cut on the top side of the bed from now on!!!

The bikers around the dinosaur aren't that bad. I could swing you by the Hells Angels club house if ya want... well actually they kinda own the whole street.

You can do a search for Pinars on here as well. There have been a few threads dedicated to them.

We can occassionally pick up the "NERVE" down here in the Olean area. I haven't been up to Rochester in a while. For those of you in the Rochester area are there any decent shops worth an 1.5 hour drive to check out?

 

[Lumberg]

What's the price point on those?
