Perlas (1/5)

  1. Well done. I find it strange seeing Sir Winstons near the top and Mag 50s near the bottom. Personally, I find the Mag 50s to be the most similar to HUSW in the marca.
  2. My initial reaction was shock at the audacity to even ask for a refund. But then I remembered how the price of cigars has skyrocketed over the last year, and I can somewhat understand wanting to be satisfied with the product. When I’m spending more on a box of robustos than I did on my first car, they better be good.
  3. A 2014 cab of Mag46. I’ve always liked HU, but 46s seem to be the bastard child of the marca. This particular cab has dark mottled wrappers that absolutely refused to burn. What I could get to burn, just tasted like Nicaragua. In a surprising twist, I revisited it last week, and had a couple that were absolute gems. No burn issues, and great flavors. Apparently it only takes seven years to shine a turd.
  4. Wow. That’s two biblical plagues for the price of one.
  5. The current code for El Laguito is MAR. They only use one code per factory at a time. There was a thread on this site that erroneously assigned many codes to factories. I feel that did a big disservice to this community. If you have a current box with a code other than MAR, it was rolled somewhere other than El Laguito.
  6. Man, I hate to be the one to break this to you, but BCG have been discontinued since 2017.
  7. I prefer SLBs. There is just something sexy about sliding the lid off and seeing that bundle of cigars cinched by a yellow ribbon. I always have a small twinge of regret when I slide the first one out and spoil the perfection. However, it’s kind of a moot question. The box is just a conveyance. The cigar is what makes the decision for me. I buy the cigar I want, and take it in whatever box it comes in. Probably my favorite go to cigar is the HU2, and it only comes in a dress box, so I’ve got a bunch of them. The only one I know that you have a choice is the BBF, and all the ones I’ve purchased were SLBs. Any insight into why HSA offers them in both formats? I originally thought it was probably a specific market preferred one over the other, but if that’s the case, why aren’t there others with an option?
  8. Is a Pop-Tart a ravioli? Is cereal a soup? Which chicken wing is better: drum or flat? Drums. How do you make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? I actually butter both slices before putting jelly on one, and pb on the other. How crispy should bacon be? The best bacon is at the magical point halfway between crispy and floppy. How do you take eggs out of the carton? I was unaware there was some global controversy over this. Does pineapple belong on pizza? I’ve had pineapple on a pizza before. It was ok. Not great, but ok. Does ranch belong on pizza? Ranch is disgusting on anything. How should you eat pizza? Pizza, like ribs, should only be eaten with your hands. Is deep dish a pizza or a casserole? Pizza. Should you eat mac and cheese with a fork or spoon? Fork. Does ketchup belong on a hot dog? Absolutely not! If you put ketchup on a hotdog, the terrorists win. Are burgers and hot dogs sandwiches? Yes. Is this a real question? Is it a sub, hoagie or hero? All three are acceptable. What do you call the end slice on a loaf of bread? We’ve always called it the heel. Maybe it’s a Midwest thing, like pop. How do you pronounce caramel? Care-uh-mel? Do I walk around all day wearing a monocle and a top hat? No. It’s car-mel. In-n-Out or Shake Shack? In-n-Out, but it still doesn’t live up to the massive hype surrounding it. Where do you put the cheese on a burger? Directly above the meat. Should chili have beans? I’m not scared to mess with Texas, chili is better with beans. How do you slice bagels? Huh?!? Did millennials ruin everything? Ok, Boomer. Nothing makes me feel so old as blaming young people for everything.
  9. No. I don’t own a cigar that won’t someday meet a firey end. I can’t understand owning cigars simply for a collection.
  10. 1. Upmann 2. Partagas 3. Por Larranaga 4. Bolivar 5. RyJ
  11. Don’t all tubos come with a cedar sleeve inside? That would actually have more of the cigar in direct contact with cedar than ones inside an SLB.
  12. That box of Connie 1s is simply mouthwatering.
  13. I’ve really been surprised by the number of ass hats I’ve seen lately. I’m shocked they didn’t make the list.
  14. The word vintage came from wine making and literally just means the year something was made. Way to laugh at a guy for using the word correctly.
