Puros Y Vino

Great story guy. I guess that cigar is what Thunderbird is to wine? 😁 And by Pierre Cardin. Do you mean the fashion designer? Did you and the other cigar club guests give him honest feedback or did you sugar coat it?

If, I go with new "retail". Probably not much. Does Esplendido cost $100/stick? That's a possibility. BHK56 might warrant that price, but its' well above it. I did spend $100USD/stick on 1970 Davidoff No 1's back in 2011 and they were worth every penny. So, there's some vintage stuff I'd consider at that range. The CGR fiver back in the day was above $100/stick and was/is definitely worth it. IMO that was probably the best Habanos release I was around for (started smoking in 2009).

It's light and sturdy. It was a bit of hassle to mount in the frame as it was almost too thick to fit.

This is 17 by 21 inches roughly. I glued the bands to a white foam board.

Feliz Cumpleano hermano... 🍷

This also goes for Canada. Border crossings into the US over the past year have nosedived and will continue to do so.

2000 RyJ Cazadores. Bought them on a Paris 2009 trip. Took it to the nearby park. Lit it. Couldn't get one molecule of air through it. It was a miracle it even managed to catch fire. Total tent peg. No exaggeration. Pitched it into a rain puddle and lit up something else. I still have 2 of the 3 I bought from the trip. 😐 One day I'll try another. At least now I have a draw tool. But to be honest, it wouldn't have helped that first one.

Finally finished this one off and framed it.

Ohhh...what'd I miss???

Lovely piece. It was Colonel Mustard, in the cigar room with the Frazetta statue!

Meh. Hard to get excited about Habanos releases anymore. They make cigars for despots, moguls and pea-cocking influencers with too much cash. 🤪

Welcome to FOH. Which Montreal cigar lounges do you like best?

You know what else is criminal? The state of those cigars in the first picture! 😁

Cohiba Cu.Can

Cool, so that brand goes back to at least 1930's era. I have this from 1960
