They could charge more, but I wouldn’t expect it to happen in all scenarios. Especially when buying in Cuba.

It was the LCDH at 38 Avenida playa. The furthest one from the resort side. Prices seemed to be a few dollars above the listed prices. But I looked passed that since this was the only LCDH in Varadero with any stock at all. The other two had Cohiba and Trindad only. Was still fairly limited but every box I asked for that they had, when they brought it from out back it was a 2018/2016 box. I assume this isn't a normal thing lol. Got another one today.

Where the hell do you live? I have lots of cigars and a mortgage with 19 years left. If there’s a place I can get a house for a few boxes of smokes, I want in!

Fonseca Delicias, Oct 23”

These are insanely packed with tobacco. They look great. 

I was under the impression that the cap was removed on these. These came with the cap on. Anyone confirm?

I have a feeling you probably confused with Guantanamera Decimos.

The only thing wrong about those is the box they came in.

Lol I’m actually very happy that they came in their white tissue.

I’m sour about the Canadian plain packaging BS. As petty as it sounds I won’t buy them because of things related to topics to be avoided on forums and I’ll leave that at that. I’m low on HUHC and need a restock soon. 😂 

Oh, and congrats…if I ignore the box the smokes look great!

I’ve never seen them pre-cut, so they look right to me.

I’m about to make a post on some custom boxes in a few minutes. Big problem solver to these green paper boxes.

Probably a daft question, but when you ask for a box of something and they come out with a box with an extra 4 / 5 years on it, are they charging you accordingly? Guessing they will ask more, for a like-for-like box with 2/3 years on it over a 2023 box for example?

The ladies working did not give me the impression they knew or cared of the age. Asked for upmann mag50 and they just come out with a box. Unless she cared to check while she was in the humi. Doubt it though.

This man's a genius! Finally, somebody making sense.

A good friend brought these back for me from a recent trip to Philipsburg, Sint Maarten.

Had to snag a box of these myself. Might give one a whirl tomorrow evening.

Trinidad Coloniales. Jun 23’ Into my new custom boxes. It does seem to be mold on one of the caps, can anyone confirm? Might just make it my ROTT smoke.

[MagicalBikeRide]

Hard to tell. If it’s not on the foot, then I’d just wipe the wrapper and go ahead as normal.

Doesn't wipe, the wrapper leaf on the cap is green

[Chibearsv]

If you're referring to the green portion of the leaf on the cap, that's just a waterspot, not mold. No problem

Figured it wasn't mold. Never seen mold first hand on cigars so wasn't 100% sure. Appreciate the feedback

Lol - I had zoomed all the way in and convinced myself that I saw white dots 😅

Mold will be white and powdery on the wrapper which isn't bad, just takes a quick second to wipe off. Or it can be fuzzy and either white or greenish in the foot which I don't mess with. Any mold in the foot of the cigar for me is a no go for smoking for me.  Others may say otherwise, but I won't go there.

I was going to address both just in case since I saw the little white dots too. They lock more like teeny bits of paper though from the crappy plain packaging I'm guessing. 😁
