I was able to get the one off the back with a hairdryer pretty cleanly. Just so I could match the factory/year with the wooden box. The front one is just going to have to stay on though. 😆 I've also never seen a LCDH cover up the 'dying patient' type photo with other stickers before. Found that quite interesting as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately looks like he’s getting out of cigars. He stopped buying in 2013, so all are that old. Thankfully perfectly maintained. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lamboinee Posted February 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2023 I was informed that 2014 was a particularly good year for MC4s. I am hopeful that this box will give me a good basis from which to judge the impact of aging on a CC. I am very familiar with new MC4s.... Can't wait to compare them with these from 2014. Finger crossed! Thank you to my friends that provided advice! 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lamboinee Posted February 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2023 Big day for me! First Cohibas of my life and some awesome Connie 2s that I know very little about other than what El Pres and Ken said on their video review. Receipt of these from our gracious host is a testament to their customer service and diligence. This one took some time, work, and patience. Much appreciation to our host and logistics and Ms. D!

Will do, I gotta let these rest though for a bit as Im pretty sure they earned a delta sky miles diamond medallion during transits. I'm thinking 2-3 months maybe? Even if they don't meet my expectations..... It was still worth it for a 3 pack just to see what's up. I hope I don't like them..... My bookie won't finance cigars.

I have no idea, maybe smoke one in the near future and rest the other two. I have the last CoRo in my humidor that I'm afraid to touch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for hanging in there with me! To each his own -- as many many have made clear on this site -- but my experiences with Cohiba were entirely underwhelming ...until I experienced age. IMO, give them 5 years rest at a minimum. Granted, we all experience things differently. It's just that I never understood Cohiba until having a very aged one. At first I thought that meant +/- 5-10 years. However, Cohiba at 10-15+ years can be (given inconsistencies) a revelation. That is an experience I hope for all on this forum. In fairness, it doesn't have to be Cohiba (though in my experience there's less inconsistencies there). My most stunning cigar experiences (all CC's) have not been with Cohiba (though that may be, in part, the expectations you bring to it). But they are truly wonderful when allowed to develop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm still curious to see for myself. You're right, we do experience things differently.....but there seem to be a lot of similarities. I Might be looking for some older Cohibas at some point, but that price point seems prohibitive. Nevertheless, I feel my journey at this point passes through "try a couple new ones" first. I've really enjoyed some of the aged stuff I've samples so far and many of the recommendations from FOHriends regarding age have been accurate. Right now I'm really digging some older PLPC and I'm looking forward to experiencing some recently acquired aged MC4s as an opportunity to the try something with age that I can compare with something new that I have real experience with. For the price paid, I'd hope that these are at least pretty decent when new. Maybe I'll smoke one and then save one for when I start to draw social security lol. It'll be fun either way. Woop Woop!
