torsion Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 My boss is at La Casa Del Habano Cancun right this second and has almost just finished heroin as some of you call it on here - Cohiba Esplendido. Interestingly he preferred the CoRo he smoked last night than the Esplendido. I am jealous not only cause 1) I'd rather be there than the office 2) it's mega busy here 3) I've not tried an Esplendido yet! He's not as experienced smoker as I am but can definitely appreciate sticks and we've smoked frequently together, he asked for my recommendations so I told him the Monte 520 and Cohiba 1966. Bit pricey but I told him since he has the time he should appreciate them and possibly may not get the opportunity again. He told me they have both sticks - I've made myself even more envious as again I've not had the opportunity to try these sticks! The git also sent me a video and photo - makes it a bit better knowing it's raining there. But still I'd rather be smoking than typing in the office!

forgop Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Cohiba is just a branded name that commands a premium IMO. In terms of value, I can think of many cigars I'd buy 2-3 of for the price of a single Espy every day of the week. Once you get past the unique looking band, there's not much to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask in the most respectful of manners: what does this have to do with the discussion at hand? Does it matter if he was smoking a Cohiba or an H. Upmann? The OP was simply trying to express his envy of how he could be sitting and relaxing on a beach instead of being in an office. That's what I do a lot in the winter or at work when I scroll through the 'Daily Smokes' thread. He was NOT tryint to make a point about how Cohibas are better. Please - I don't want to see this thread go into a 'Cohiba is overrated' direction. However, if you were trying to make him feel better by saying that Cohibas aren't as good, I will grant you that. Just put a little wink or something at the end, wilya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't want him to feel that much more jealous. I'd be happy to have a Jose Piedra there at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUBANO Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 LCDH Cancun is a great place to relax and smoke a couple of CC's. David & Cari are good hosts and they can recommend him a good smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torsion Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 Yeh - I did mention it to him to ask the people who run it cause he mentioned they have a large selection of aged/vintage aswell. Man I need a smoke!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headstand Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Out of curiosity, what is the pricing like in Cancun for CC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torsion Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 To note - I also suggested regular production smokes like Sir Winnie and Trini Fundadores but thought since he's there he should try the limited editions. In regards to pricing he did tell me but not sure if it's within rules to post on here(?) It was pricey though! Oh he literally just sent me another video - the rain has cleared and there's a beautiful sunset. Also lurking was a mojito Good for him as it's his last night in Mexico before heading back to colder shores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife is interested in the diving. Me I'm more about beaches, palm trees, a cigars. Feel free to pm me if you have time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forgop Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I had full intent to be at the same LCDH back in the first week of June. Weather forecast was calling for steady rain all week long-not just a slight chnace but 100% heavy rains every day with a front that just sat in the area. Less than 24 hours prior to departure, I changed accommodations to go to Ocho Rios instead. It looked like a great place to relax and would have been on my itinerary a couple of days had we stayed with the original plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
