  1. I had one and I thought it was great. The golden presentation is horrible and cheap though. I really enjoyed a 2021 Cohiba Lancero this month. Classic!!
  2. Wow, the question becomes is for collecting and selling or smoking. I find it hard to smoke a $2000 a stick. But my $200 a stick (sometimes) might be offensive to others too πŸ˜€πŸ˜€
  3. Is there any post that ranked the best Reserva Cosecha in order of best to bombs ?
  4. I leave tomorrow to Scotland and will be in London from the 2nd through the 5th. Would love to visit an old cigar lounge and smoke a great cigar there? Any ideas to how and access? Thanks !!
  5. From seller : The Esplendido a purchased from a Habano Sommelier in Havana. They regularly get boxes and samples from the factories and Habanos SA. That box is 100% from the El Laguito factory, which is the mother factory of the Cohiba brand. The factory code of the El Laguito was MAR, now it is GES. It is hard to say when they changed it, because it does not happen from one day to another. With the code of 000050791106, I agree with you. This barcode was used on 2021 boxes. Maybe they stamped the box later, and that is why the inconsistency between the date stamp and the barcode. I sent you many photos, when I offered the box to you. I did not want to hide any detail. What you can be sure, that the box is from a reliable source, and the content of the box is 100% authentic Cohiba Esplendidos cigars. This box is over 2500 USD in Havana in the shops, and over 3000 in Europe. I could give it to you for 1800 because I could buy it from a Habanos Sommelier, who would never sell non factory cigars. He is willing to arrange for a refund.
  6. I will send Monday. The box Esplendido type caught my attention but the cigars looked great. I will send the UV light Monday.
  7. So no way, a manufacturer mistake? That doesn’t happen, correct?
  8. Ok, I will send tomorrow with cigar. Pics too.
  9. Hi I purchased this box from private seller. The Cohiba Esplendido looks off and not high quality. Can this be ok? This is a 2023 box. Is this for sure a fake, or you would need to see the cigars? thx…
  10. The problem, I believe, is that LCDH stores are not audited or disciplined at all.
  11. Wow pretty cool. Will have to watch!! Thanks for sharing. Regardless of if you agree of disagree with the premise, I miss old movies where creativity and story telling were front and center not all about animation and digitization, etc.
  12. Great summary!! Where do LCDH shops stands in comparison? And also when it comes to seeking online vs at their stores? Are they 100 percent trusted or not really ?
  13. Congrats Rob! What is the premise of petit BR? Sorry if I missed the chat trail. Sounds exciting!! Hope I can make it.
  14. So even the Siglo VI GR, which was Called the holly grail of cigars, had such issues!!!
  15. I 100%agree with you. The Behike can be overpowering smooth and creamy but lacks complexity and development. It smokes a little bit in the open side too. But a pretty cigar to look at.
  16. I did too but I love Partagas P2. Upmann 2 can be hit or miss. Not as consistent as the other 2.
  17. It might cut my budget allocated for cigars, I will stick to Nespresso. πŸ˜€. It looks amazing though. Maybe Rob can bundle it with cigars in the daily sale. πŸ˜€πŸ˜€. It is required and complementary for cigars.
  18. That is great to hear that cigars outlasted the othersπŸ˜€. I agree with you, it is all about the hunt and satisfaction is lost as soon as you acquire the product. That is why I switched some of my energy to things like diving and underwater photography to get some more inspirational and rewarding addictions. So I chose a different shark destination around the work and I plan it a year in advance (maybe it was my wife idea to get rid of me). The bad news is I am still addicted to cigars. πŸ˜…πŸ˜…
  19. I go to https://cxiiirex.com/. Pretty cool spot.
  20. I have one and 3 box humidors and one that I snuck from my wife at office. I'm really running out of options.
  21. I feel you were at our Super Bowl party last Sunday? πŸ˜€πŸ˜€
  22. I love smoking them but I also love collecting them, taking care of them and selecting different cigars for different occasions. Do I have a mid life crises or is this normal? Any remedies other than getting broke or getting divorced πŸ˜€?
  23. Exactly like in party line politics.πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ™
  24. Happy Birthday Rob, what cigar will you smoke today ?
