El Presidente Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Small shipment with a much larger one following in 2 weeks (Winstons will be in next shipment and hopefully some Mag 50 from 2010/ excellent but still Dic 09 in the main). Lise and I will reply over the next few days to all those with "wish lists". The highs 1. Best Cohiba Robustos I have seen in 2 years. Brilliant and damn tasty. 2. Sensational Vegas Robaina Unicos 3. Mag 46 and 50 continue to perform. The Lows 1. Bolivar Petit Corona are nowhere to be found in this part of the world. 2. Siglo II and IV are dodgy 3. Monte Especiales off their peak of 08/09. Overall, quality appears to be on the up no doubt due to the decrease in production and plenty of good leaf available. There is still too much crap stock in every mastercase all of the same box code with the good stuff. Like always, my advice is to purchase as if you are purchasing fresh produce. Get the best that is in season and wait for the rest. Will be back in a few weeks for the major shipment. We have plenty of real quality stock coming in through between now and then + some real unearthed gems I will reveal next week
adic88 Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 I love this level of service, Rob. Your expert eye inspecting our boxes personally... Unrivalled. Two thumbs up.
JohnnyC Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Can't wait Rob. I have been waiting to sample some of your finest picks.
mkz Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Top notch service Rob! Bolivar Petit Corona are nowhere to be found in this part of the world. Do you suspect any particular reason for this?
cigaraholic Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Thanks for the highs and the lows! Your my tobacconist around the corner, even though your half a world away.
kcheek Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 I love this level of service, Rob. Your expert eye inspecting our boxes personally... Unrivalled. Two thumbs up. +1 We really appreciate your efforts Rob to bring FoH top quality sticks!!
bc8436 Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Been itching to try the Cohiba Robustos. Where do I sign up?
El Presidente Posted March 18, 2011 Author Posted March 18, 2011 Top notch service Rob! Do you suspect any particular reason for this? There is nothing dastardly going on that I can see with the Boli PC's. They have been thin on the ground for 3 months. I suspect someone got their production numbers wrong.

Fuzz Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 I love this level of service, Rob. Your expert eye inspecting our boxes personally... Aizuddin, I wouldn't trust Rob too much. After all, he is always half-potted (ie drunk) when he's down in Sydney!
mazolaman Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 "Overall, quality appears to be on the up no doubt due to the decrease in production and plenty of good leaf available. There is still too much crap stock in every mastercase all of the same box code with the good stuff." this concurs with my own limited and amature experience,I've noticed a general improvement in several brands in 2010,over 2009. I had thought for the same reason.
SCgarman Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Rob, not even the best brick and mortar shops I have been to cater to the customer as well as you do! You are definitely a gift from the cigar Gods.
