Then you have sent counterfeit cigars and your post of 8/9/05, 6:16 AM is NOT accurate. :sign:
If you really respect Moki then why do you continue to disrespect him with your insinuation, Moki is very knowledgeable about cigars but no-one here considers him "god". He has been VEEERRRRRY respectful towards you and you keep throwing these barbs back at him, and IMHO it is just because his honest review didnt go your way, pitiful.... :angry:vitasea said:
this is a dc 2003 cut up with almost all long filler there was a few shorts at the core and appeared to be about 3 or 4 different shadss of leaf color all the fillers were long. such a waste ...
decided to light one of these up..big long cigars are not my taste.the first inch was a lot of work took some drawing power and was very mild and woody with light flavors. burnt well and had the tridional gray ash whith streaks of black
at the robustos size much fuller flavors and more smoke volume only had to touch it up a couple times
just about done and quite frankly i would probab;y only give it a 6, though i am not to versed in large sizes prefurring robutos and smaller sizes. hoy de mont epicure #2 my favorate robustos and a siglo I for a day smoke
then my all time favorite cuban smoke the hollywood!!!!!!!!
at .70 a pack heck nebr charges ,64 just for tax
as roddny dangerfield said just looking for a little respect

Well, we agree on that anyway -- 6 is about right. A Cohiba Double Corona EL shouldn't be a 6 though.
Wait a minute. These cigars you're insisting are real... this is the first time you've smoked one? :0
Didn't you ever wonder why the factory in question would have boxes of 2003 limited edition (and highly sought-after) cigars laying around in 2005?
The red in quotes is the point which you should observe, a cohiba dc el should have NO short filler at all.And if you had spread that crap out like you should have instead of trying to make it hard to view we would see that it has quite a bit of short filler all you have to do is zoom in and see it.vitasea said:

More than 11,000 boxes of counterfeit cigars confiscated
HAVANA. Ana Leonor Díaz, Grupo Decoro - National police and Customs inspectors said they had confiscated 11,935 boxes of counterfeit cigars and closed more than 150 underground factories in a series of raids.
The cigars, bearing the most prestigious brands the Cuban government sells as a source of foreign exchange, sell at lower prices in the black market, primarily to tourists, and experts say their quality is indistinguishable from that of the officially approved product.
Customs agents said they had confiscated hundreds of boxes from visitors leaving the island from the Havana and Varadero airports.
In a series of raids in three Havana municipalities, police found more than 150 factories where the cigars were made, packed in cedar boxes and fitted with the rings that would presumably attest to their authenticity.
Tobacco industry authorities adopted a holographic seal years back that was supposedly tamper-proof. Yet, during the last two years, they have uncovered evidence of a parallel, clandestine industry engaged in the sale and export of cigars that they have not been able to eradicate.

Doug that's actually the point. It's clear that these are factories you're getting your cigars from.
