Cohiba Robustos were the only cohiba that did not come in cellophane



Bob
 
Bob,

And I thought I was having a discussion about cigars on the Internet.

I asked you to name all the hand rolled cigars that came in cellophane, because that would have been a very easy question for someone that has all the years of experience you claim to have.

I asked you if you knew Todesco and the questions don't come much simpler than that.

I suspect you are an individual that thinks that MRN's book is the end all and with Google, can sound like he knows what he is talking about.

Do you know how many mistakes are in that book? Pretty pictures though... :)

If you would like I can ask you some difficult questions...
 
He is basing his argument on a foot note by MRN on the robusto citing that the exception to cello was the robusto. YMMV

By the way there are other sources prior to MRN and his book, so there you are. Definite proof of yet again not much other than the fact that Bob has an MRN book like the vast majority of us. Remember reading is fundamental. I value actual experience when I gather information.
 
LOL Devin and I posted at the same time about MRN's book, yes they are great pictures.

Yes there are mistakes in the book but not that one .........Cohiba Robustos were not made with cello..........

I guess i should'nt know this then.....For example ........How many factories were the Festival del la Habanos 2000 made in.......MRN only says one........Do you know which factories made them ........or am I bluffing here........See I can play too......I dont need to prove myself........I have only stated the facts here.......I have now given some proof which obviously is also being questioned..........You have given nothing but your say so....

Bob
 
Bob,

Please remember that you are the expert here, not I. So I don't know why you are getting so very defensive about being asked questions. I thought you were here to educate the members that wish to learn more.

Quite frankly, I do not know how many factories rolled the Festival cigars. I never had enough interest to look into it. And to the book, there are not just a few mistakes.

It is unfortunate that you will not answer the difficult questions I wish to ask, let along the easy ones.

If you would be so kind as to turn to page one-forty-one of "The Havana Cigar" I would appreciate it.

Thank you for your time and have a pleasant evening. :)
 
Not trying to break any balls here but I think you sort of do need to prove yourself to establish credibility. There is no real precedent you have set to demonstrate your knowledge and authority on the subject. Devin and Matt both have extensively and repeatadly established the reliability of the information they provide. If you want to be treated as a reliable source of information, demonstrate that you are reliable. Just my puke noob 2c

Why do you play games Devin.........You made it seem like I said there were only a few mistakes....I made no such comment.......Im only showing you that what I know is not posted in that book......You implied that my only knowledge is from MRN or from the internet.........Notice how you didnt tell everyone what was on page 41.........That my friend is playing games.......I produced my proof.......

Have a nice night as well. I have No time to play games

Bob
 
You asked for proof and I provided some. Please go to page 141 and have a look. A man of your expertise would most certainly have this book in his collection.

I am sure that the members can guess what is on that page... :)
 
If a Backwoods and a GrayCliff and a Shakespeare were left in a humidor to marry; would they produce a Backwoods Hill Billy?

Edited for spelling...............
 
Geez, all this talk about experts and professionals and nobody invited me??

I don't have the answer for the Robusto cello thingy, but I've got some inside info that NO ONE has!! Thats right, this guy :thumbs:. Did you know Cohiba has a MAUDRO line coming out?? Thats right, you heard it first here!

Sorry, just trying to interject some humor in the thread :laugh:.
 
Bob,

Yes, I am skeptical of your knowledge.

While this has been entertaining, I must bid you farewell, as I have a pass to enjoy.

However, after it is done, I do look forward to discussing cigars with you again.

We will just have to agree to disagree, thank you.







Young Smoke, appreciate the humor, thank you. :)

Here's some pictures posted on another site.

I personally would defer to Devin and Matt R on this -- and strangely enough, I also have a Cohiba Robusto in cellophane (not obtained through either of them).

Unlike Matt R, I don't smoke cigars, I just stare at 'em, so I can take a picture if you like. :)
 
The different view points in this thread are quite interesting. I may have to include this discussion in my yet to be published book "Cuban Stogies: Love 'Em Or Leave 'Em, Reflections from a Canadian FOG"
In my book I have a discussion about the elusive cigar known as the Cohiba back-bacon which was being developed back in the late 80s for the Canadian market.


On page 203 and I quote:

"Canadian smokers were looking for a way to combine their great love of breakfast with a good cigar hence the Cohiba back-bacon was thought up. Instead of wrapping a cigar in cellophane, the cigar would be wrapped in a thin layer of back-bacon which would enable the Canadian cigar enthusiast to enjoy his cigar with a side of eggs and a cup of coffee. Sadly, this idea never took off, but a limited run of cigars were produced which now fetch quite a handsome price at auction houses."

I've heard they brew beer of mass destruction! We should invade!
 
I will gladly snap some pictures in a couple of months, though I am pretty sure between now and then this will have been resolved. Would you like some pictures of full boxes of other stuff the great Dr. claims to be non-existent? Maybe some SLR Prominantes??? Sancho Dorados??? Dulcineas???? How about a few 1492 humidors, or Cubatabacco 25th??? While I have some respect for the knowledge that the great Dr. spread across the world with his encyclopaedia, it has done as much harm to the hobby as it has good. There are numerous errors, exceptions and complete misleading "facts", among the book pages.

I'm also assuming that page 141 of The Havana Cigar will not be viewed, as that book is almost as rare as the celloed robustos......
