I decided to take pictures as I am sending some Farm rolled cigars to a good friend in Vancouver for X-mas. Top 2 pictures are a BHK 56 with some age as can be seen from the yellowed paper. Bottom picture is a newer Casilda sized FR. Enjoy your FR's, you are in the best hands, best regards ! 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to put my recent FR acquisitions to sleep for some time, but I may have to put the torch to those dalias. I appreciate you sharing your photos, videos and experience with me.

Btw, sweet Pink Floyd corn hole boards! Been blowing 20 mph sustained with gusts to 30 for the last 2 days. Wind is my biggest issue right now too, so I'm "stuck" in the garage (it's not too bad). Aside from the heater fan noise, the only real negative to the garage is sometimes the smoke smell gets in the house and I catch grief from the house boss. I got those boards as a gift from employees years ago. We don't play bags too much anymore since the nest is empty and I gave up drinking, but I love how they look in the garage. They come out for the annual subdivision block party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen lots of pics of MAR coded boxes of different Cohiba lines over the past 6+ months….compared to other non-MAR codes (EOL comes to mind)….construction might be better, but the wrapper quality on MAR codes seems to be average to below that of what other factories are using IMO. Could be off, but just an observation I’ve noticed. Perhaps one of the big pluses of buying in 2021. Hard to go wrong with the quality being pumped out across the board presently. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I requested 4 boxes of MAR. They responded "I have 1 box of UMR." I responded, "Sold." I always request EL, but these days you can't always afford to be choosy. 5 hours ago, Lord Verulam said: Just smoked a UMR 20 epi EE, my first with those code, and it was spectacular ……I think one of my coro boxes has this code as well …let me us how it is if you go ROTT I tried one, just to answer your post. It was good. A little darker that I typically like, but the flavor was nice. Especially considering right off the truck. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you grading wrapper quality on darker=better ? MAR with experience uses nice smooth lighter wrappers on cohiba and on esmeralda. Light on both particularly cohiba much better IMO.

I prefer Claro/lighter wrappers on Cohiba -with a slight rosado hue to em. Always have. My comment was based on observations of both color and most significantly on wrapper sheen/oils. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
