It was a pleasure to finally meet @ha_banos in London. He introduced me to a couple of his friends and we had great cigars three nights in a row. I'm always willing to go for a cigar here in Paris when I'm in town as well and have met some very nice people over the years.

Congratulations Alex!

Waldorf and Statler? Yeah they have been eyeing my stash for quite some time now... 😂

2 to 3 a day on weekdays and 3 to 5 a day during the weekend. To keep the cost down my morning cigar is now a cheap small one.

Well, I'm looking forward to a 2016 Bolivar Gigantes then in April...😜

I agree that most MUR 13 cigars are outstanding. Two other codes that come very close are ULA 14 (of course) and BRE 18.

Bolivar Churchills (not the Coronas Gigantes, but that hard to source cigar that came in a tubos).

Reviving an old thread as I have trouble accessing CCW. Is anyone else having problems accessing the website?

I have a dozen from early 2018 left and really like the way they developed. They have lost most of their strength and have become a smooth and mild morning smoke. I like to start with a milder cigar on the days that I smoke more than two and they fit perfectly into that category.

I had a couple of friends over and we each smoked one. Out of the three one was hopelessly plugged. My other singles seem fine. Didn't inspect my box yet.

Punch Double Coronas Cubatabaco early 80’s pre NIVELACUSO.

Released in small quantities. A very nice but rather mild cigar that’s a little green towards the end. All my boxes have a few underfilled cigars but that’s what we get nowadays when it comes to bigger RG cigars. Will sample another one next week but I really liked the first one I smoked quite a bit. And no, I can not help anyone sourcing some so no PMs please.

I'm currently not at home but I will post pics of everything once I'm near my stash again. I measured the cigar when it came in and from memory it was over 150 mm long and fit perfectly into the petacas. The person who sold it to me purchased it in Spain in the early 90's and he is someone that I trust 100% so I really doubt that this is a fake.

I talked to a retailer in Germany yesterday and it seems that the regular Cohiba and Trinidad cigars will "only" double in price there from early July on. There are a few Trinidad that I like quite a bit but I will not pay €700 for a box of Coloniales. So I am giving Trinidad as long as I have stock left in my cabinet. There are plenty of other marcas that I enjoy.

Everything is included, the individual box and the petacas so the cigar probably is genuine and this is another case of es Cuba.
