canadianbeaver Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Hello Windmill Michel!! Great to see you since I know you in person now... and since I recognize those secondary bands, and the specific cigars in the last photo, say hello to Didi for me, Hugs, Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel1968 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Hi Lisa! Puts everything in a new perspective... Next time I see Didi I give him some (verbal) Canadian hugs... Tried the Cazzies? Say hello to Matthew, Hugs and firm hands from Holland! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbeaver Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I have not tried the Cazzies yet but they are making good friends in the wine fridge! Had such an amazing time in Amsterdam... Went back and did some more damage with Didi's LCDH, as well as the others in Brissels and Paris. Safe to say the region is lighter of their RE's, Cheers!

mk05 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 The power of yellow bands is irrefutable. Excellent taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michel1968 Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Just in! Box-split Romeo y Julieta Cedros de Luxe No. 3 from what we could safely say it's at least a very well kept mid 1960's box. The smell is, well it reminds me a bit of chloroform. Let's give them a few months of rest before lighting one up... can't wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm flying back from vegas tonight and am coming back to about 6 packages from different places. I am sending you a list of stuff for you to choose. The perla wasn't bad after dryboxing.

Michel1968 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 A short while ago FOH hosted a discussion about... I forgot... one thing stayed in mind and that was the mentioning of the Vegueros marca. Never tried one, but one of the BOTL's wrote that decent aging Vegueros would bring out something quite nice. It got my interest...

CaptainQuintero Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Sweet pick up Michel! I'm down to my last half box but I only have one as a treat so a couple of years worth of smoking left thankfully! The Dutch vintage bands look a lot better than the H&F attemps, your 'tax bands' are pretty nice looking too, they look like they are part of the packaging as opposed to just someone cheap slapped on by the part time worker!

Well, the tax bands are now a thing of the past... box bands only since a month or two. A bit worrying as prices are very easy to adjust this way - as opposed to 'take out 25 cigars, take of their individual bands, re-band them and put them back in the box' Perhaps I'm just pessimistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
