I was gifted a cigar from a good friend.

He said he picked it up from a reliable source. The person claimed it was a pre-castro era Gurkha? It there such a thing? Can you really tell witout a box code?

This cigar looks beautiful..It is rolled flawlessly but at the end where you light the cigar it is all unrolled..maybe about a 1/4 " .... VEry nice feel to the cigar and great aroma..also it is a naked cigar..no band..Im too scared to smoke it..LOL!!

That will sit in the humi for a long time.. GUess I will have to smoke the RYJ Churchill :whistling:


I have a pic of someone can host... Thanks..
 
Probably what the above post links to. But, consider this when smoking it. In order for the cigar to be marketed as having pre-enbargo filler, it needs only contain a very small amount of actual pre-embargo filler. So, it could have pone small sliver of pre-embargo leaf and still be marketed as pre-Castro tobacco blended.
 
Sent AVB one in a small trade, not sure if he lit it up yet.

A shop just into Indiana had 15 boxes ~2 months ago. It is a nice looking cigar, but I can't justify smoking a $30 cigar.

I was given smoking advise from the shop where I bought it. Clip both ends and smoke in reverse. Not sure why, just relaying what they told me.
 
I met a guy once at my local who said these were his favorite cigars. They must have been because he was paying $40 a pop for them :0 I'd like to try one but I aint payin' no $20+ for them. Gotta be one of the biggest markups in the industry :whistling:
