  1. I was in London for the HWD and launch of Trinidad 55 Cabildos, the most interesting part for me was the seminar where we heard that soon Habanos will come out with a super vintage (or grand vintage)... Just bullshitting marketing where they want to sell to young smoker a 5, lucky a 10 years ol...
  2. I attended a big gala dinner a few weeks ago. Great wine, great food, great friends and off course I´ve brought some good cigars. Standing out smoking a Dip#4 later in the evening I started a conversation with an elder gentleman quickly realizing he was a true Brother of the Leaf. Tried to...
  3. What an incredible time to be alive. I think the 1950s would have been incredible as well. Just think they actually had Federal customs officials who would sit in the Cigar factory and clear the Havana tobacco. The tobacco was not taxed until the cigars were rolled. This government system ensured th...
  4. Hello fellow lovers of the leaf! Few of us in Hong Kong are trying to start some weekly ish reviews and figured some of the members here might find them informative/entertaining as you will. Cheers Nate
  5. The transition of a friendship and thinking about my grandpa (long gone)... It was a dark and stormy night.. ...actually it wasn't, it was just dark, and bitter cold. Which sucked. Fortunately, I have access to a local Cigar Bar with terrible ventilation such that my hand still reeks of s...
  6. The great book L'Histoire du Havane provides a nice list of the best vintages of cuban crops up to 1981. More relevant for me: Have any of you seen a similar listing for recent years? -The harvest of 2017 looks promising. Let us hope it will be as good as the harvest of 2012. Wh...
  7. Anyone any deeper insight into the latest vintage? With the current price announcements and critic's notes having come to light, it is not a particularly hyped year, but most say, the best vintage since 2010, with the right bank having been particularly successful. While JRobinson sais it will...
  8. For this review I took the opportunity to revisit the king of kings from Hoyo de Monterrey: the Double Corona This cigar isn't called a Prominentes for nothing the Double Coronas undoubtedly represent the best of their marca's and are time-honored and honed showpieces of what a Cuban cigar sho...

  11. Hello all, Like the title says, I was offered to take a look at some Davidoff cigars that a person is selling who shares an acquaintance with me. We have not yet talked prices, but these are the pictures I was sent. I do not have any experience with vintage Cuban Davidoffs, and am hoping those wi...
  12. Greetings all. Haven't posted much lately. Thought I'd try to stir things up a bit. As I sit here enjoying a 2009 P2, I've been thinking about what cigars I've enjoyed these past few years and from what year they came from with less concern on the specific box codes. If we treat Cuban tobacco cr...
  13. From the album: Old Cigars

    1969, the year I was born. Some of the nicest wrappers I've ever seen.
  14. For years I have collected everything from wind-up toys to antique quilts to vintage fishing lures. Of course now my obsession is Cuban cigars. With the cigars I have found some terrific collectible items to place around my cigar room. You?
  15. 1970's H Upmann Sir Winston Prelight notes: Lovely box pressed wrapper Light milk chocolate in color Light cocoa aroma on the foot It doesn't have that "aged" aroma I'm used to. If anything, it smells quite fresh The stick passes the pinch test easily. This cigar has been well maintain...
  16. I smoked this beauty a few nights ago. It's been a long time since I've done a review. And for those of you that have never read one of mine, I tend to "dump" out what I'm tasting and any other thoughts in my mind as I'm smoking. This review is not as lengthy as my past efforts. I hope you enj...
  17. A recent little pickup. Clear Havanas from 1926. They smell pretty good. They had a long trip but after some humi time, I'm going to fire one up. Lovely workmanship on the package. The front of the box looks like hammered copper. A little bit of info on the back. The opened box. Cigars...
  18. With the dust settled from the Montreal herf, I've had some time to take some shots of a little discovery we made while browsing an odd cigar store prior to the herf. We found some interesting sticks but this item in particular struck me. A box of 1970's era Le Escepcions. Coronas Extra Largas...
