Amazingly, this will be my 1,500th post here. Don't know how I managed to stick around that long. Anyway, in the trad. of my 1,000th post contest, have a bunch of Qs for you guys. First to answer all of them correctly will get a nice pack from me.

:thumbs:

1. In the first episode of "Sex and the City", Mr. Big tells one of the girls,
"[-----] , that's all I smoke."

BONUS: how did he contradict himself in a Season 2 episode? [if you get this one, will throw an extra in] :thumbs:

2. The next Selection Reservas [after Cohiba] will be which brand?

3. What are the characteristics of:
a. Seco
b. Volado
c. Ligero

4. Only one model of Siboney was made in large cigar form. cigarillos not included in this. What was its name and size?

5. The vitola trad. known as "Cervantes" goes by the popular name [-----].

6. -

7. Who was the first person in Cuba to package his cigars in tin tubes?

8. What brand did #7 own and what year was the brand registered?

9. How many [incl. names, etc.] "official production" salomones were produced in Cuba between 1995-2000?

I think you're going to have a problem with #4. Siboney has some history that you may not realize. JMHO

You have a point. For ref., only port-revolution, non mini-cigar, cigar. So the "mini" and the "midi" cigarillos are exempt.


If no one gets these, will delete a few Qs/make it simpler.
actually, will get rid of the James Bond one.

I don't watch that show, but I'll say COHIBA.

He smoked a non-Cuban??

2. The next Selection Reservas [after Cohiba] will be which brand?

Partagas.

3. What are the characteristics of:
a. Seco This filler leaf taken from the middle of the plant often contributes aroma and is usually medium -bodied. The two other fillers are called Ligero and Volado .
b. Volado One of the three filler leaves used in a cigar. These leaves are taken from the bottom part of the plant and impart light flavours and help the cigar in obtaining an even burn. The two other leaves used in rolling a cigar are Ligero and Seco .
c. Ligero One of the three fillers of tobacco leaves. The word literally translates to light although it refers to the top most leaves of a plant that are richest in flavour and often darkest in colour. The two others are called Seco and Volado .

4. Only one model of Siboney was made in large cigar form. cigarillos not included in this. What was its name and size?
Especiale

5. The vitola trad. known as "Cervantes" goes by the popular name [-----].

6.5in x 42 ring gauge. This cigar is the third in a trilogy of 42 ring gauge cigars. It's more popularly known as a Lonsdale, after the famed English sporting earl Lord Lonsdale who preferred this elegantly long cigar.

Cool Dude!

I had to look up the tubo question. I couldn't recall it off the top of my head, but remembered that Mr. Upmann did something revolutionary. I think it was boxing his cigars in cabinets... but, still not 100% sure on that.

I also wasn't taking into account the Siglo XXI humidor or Chris Wolter's special production salamones. The Cuaba Salamones II's were the only ones not in a special humidor (OK, it was kind of special, since there's only like 45 of them and I'm still kicking myself for not buying the one I was offered years ago) or commisioned by an individual.
