At least y’all have large piles of old priced Cubans. I got into this a few months ago. It’s probably too painful to even get into it at this point. Bummer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am a big fan of this response. If we pay moron prices we deserve to be treated like morons

Totally legit

Ayyyy a fellow Portlander?! I’m in Milwaukie… this weather has been terrible, but of course now it’ll be in the mid-50s so you must’ve brought some better weather back. Looks great out there in Cuba. You even got a pic with Yerandy, that guy is like the Bigfoot these days haha. You ever meetup in Portland to burn one down folks?

So is there any documentation about what marcas were/are made in which factories? I think this is the part I still struggle to connect. There are some obvious ones like Trini/Cohiba from El Laguito, but for other marcas are they just made everywhere? Sorry if this is newb question!

Welcome! What CC did your boss give you?

Welcome to FOH. Seems there quite a few NC here, intro right next to yours is another!

Welcome to FOH

Well I’ve at least got a few ladies catching a quick rest while I await the next 24:24 Purposefully bought a stack of JLP PCab’s so that I can get my “Cuban fix” while I wait for my better sticks to get some time on them. Surprisingly though the Monte 3’s I got are from March 22 so I’m hoping they’ll be enjoyable short term after they get acclimatized to their new Portland humidor home.

I should probably write something with actual substance since I felt the need to respond here earlier [emoji1787] $450 for a single blade guillotine just seems like we are in the realm of “art” here, not functionality. And since the original question posed was “how practical is it”, I think it’s just not practical. But hey, there’s plenty of guys smoking $500 sticks, using $1000 lighters, drinking $2000 whiskey that would beg to differ so I reckon your personal situation and definition of practicality may vary.

It’s cute but ultimately it’s just a single blade guillotine and we have much cheaper high quality versions of those already. Double guillotine or V-Cut over this all day

That is so funny because the bands actually stopped me from buying this on at least one other occasion Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I should preface this review by stating that I’m just generally not a big Alec Bradley fan overall. Kinda always leave an AB cigar thinking “almost had it!” Heard about this cigar a while back and knew it had come out a few months back. After a nice day at the shooting range, I decided to give this one a run. Cost: $10 Smoke time: 80 minutes Vitola: Robusto 52x5 Prelight - not much going on, little bit of hay on the nose. Tighter draw. First 1/3 - hit it with a nice deep v cut and got to toasting. Virgin puff was surprising and enjoyable. Little earthy, cedar, spice and a little sweetness to boot. Rest of the first 1/3 continued this way. Tiny bit of pepper in retro. Tighter draw stopped this one from having high output smoke. Second 1/3 - more of the same, cedar, earthy, little spice and that lingering sweetness. Retro smoothed right out and retro is really enjoyable. Draw still tighter, no plumes of smoke on this one. Very enjoyable second 1/3 on this Last 1/3 - more of the same, literally no different. Didn’t go filthy on me, but at the same time by the end of this I wasn’t left wanting more. It was just good, not great, not bad. Kinda the feeling when you have a decent steak that could’ve been amazing but you left it on the grill just a minute too long. Final thoughts - much like that old girlfriend you used to have…. There’s nothing quite wrong with this stick, it’s enjoyable, but also forgettable. Also like that old girlfriend, wasn’t too expensive and didn’t waste too much of my time. [emoji2371] 6/10 “almost had it!” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
