NSXCIGAR Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 So the Baalbeck comes from Jupiter? Wow. And talk about lemonade out of lemons--these were delayed two years and now they're labeling them "aged habanos"! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugu Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Baalbek certainly is a place laden with cultural heritage - but maaan, it’s s only tobacco....! The reference to Jupiter is pretty obvious though, but can someone explain what it is with the Herring/Caspian gull’s calls? Any open landfills of significance there? The internal leaflet sais “50 aged Habanos” and “This box is a part of a special production of 2400 numbered boxes”, labelled 0609/2400 internally and 0609/1200 externally. That’s HSA for you. And again, the spelling is quite ‘unique’. Is that another HSA thing, like Connossieur? 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for being a pernickety b*stard but my OCD levels are high these days I was gifted one of these by the true gent @torsion and it was really nice. I got lots of Orange, Cointreau and Cream and to my palate, much nicer than the 50/54. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually sold a box on BR because I was worried they would be too similar to 50/54 which are well loved but not high on my list. Your description makes me regret it now! There weren't a lot of reviews on them earlier this year to persuade me to keep them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to touch my cab but the reports I have from people who have sampled say head and shoulders above 50/54 with tremendous aging potential. We shall see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tstew75 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Flashy videos indeed, but I wish for once a distributor (or God forbid, Habanos) would talk about some substance...for instance, what do they love about the QDO blend, what makes it unique, what they were aiming for style wise. Give consumers a little look into such an expensive product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bonkers that so much knowledge and insight exists within CC enthusiast, but they cant commit to giving a few sentences on the paperwork Some basic info would be so valuable to someone starting out. For example QDO: A light to mid strength blend, notes of cream, citrus and woods As Rob has pointed out with Hamlet, CC blenders use as completely different set of terminology, but this shouldn't be an excuse to offer nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
