Thanks nino. What's the background on the sols... Never heard of them before.

Thanks again.

There's a 4-5 page background story on these cigars in Cigar Journal along with a review by Simon Chase among others.

These cigars were from that same box.

My review & report will follow.

Forgot these beauties ( and took no pics of the PL UK ER or the Bolivar 5-ta Avenida ER Germany etc, etc, etc :-)) -

Bolivar Britanicas :

Certainly the SOL Aromosos Imperiales - I presented one SOL to a good friend, David of JJ Fox who reviewed it with me, we both were amazed and impressed with the vitality and perfect state of this cigar.

Absolutely a very unique experience I was happy to share with great friends like Robert Fox, Dara, Stefan and Alex.

La Escepcion also blew me off my feet.

Wasn't much impressed by the Britanicas.

I opened & shared a box of 98 Black Prince that had been sitting in my lockers for 9 years with no humidification and the consensus was that the cigar was outstanding, which made me feel quite good about my storage method.

Fantastico Nino!!! :thumbsup:

In what sense? Strength? Flavors?

The blend, the perfect combination of aromas ( not overly strong IMHO, found out that I rarely consider cigars strong enough for me wheras others do .... :-) ) and the fact that, again IMHO, this is a great classic with huge potential.

Thank you for the English link - my German link provides the links to further 5 posts on Montehiba's blog.

The printed edition of CJ 1/2012 ( Spring Edition ) has 5-6 pages and fantastic detailed research on the box and reviews on the cigars.

I really must get myself a box or two.

Great pictures Nino, looks like a fantastic time. I can't believe I missed this one, I really would have liked to have made it.

I spoke with Rob earlier, he was blown away by the generosity and camaraderie over there. :thumbsup:

Good times..

Hope to see you soon.
