WarriorPrincess Posted Thursday at 10:29 PM Posted Thursday at 10:29 PM Friday/the weekend couldn’t have come soon enough for me. It has been a couple of fun but hectic days filming new material for BR. Part of yesterdays shoot was a piece with Alex Groom and I where we discussed the prevalence of top end fake cigars in the current market. Being the tosser I am, I provided a couple of Cohiba Esplendido (2023) to smoke through the shoot. Hell, it is likely the most faked cigar in the world so I thought it appropriate….and I knew it would be good. I didn’t know it was going to be that bloody good! Singlehandedly, the cigar almost put us off our rhythm where we started to concentrate more on the cigar than the shoot! Solid 95 When Cohiba Esplendido are “on” there are few to challenge. I reckon that a few on today’s 2424 would give it a run for its money however 😉 Have a cracking weekend! ****24:24 kicks off at the below Brisbane, Australia times. Best to check what time that is to where you reside so you don't miss out. Tuesday/Wednesday and Thursday at 10.30am.

All the tobaccos come from the 2017 harvest, and the Gran Reserva has an additional ring with the letters G and R embossed in gold (which is why the cigar is often simply called Cohiba GR or Cohiba Espléndidos GR) to clearly distinguish it from the others. Gran Reserva cigars appear in 15-count high-gloss boxes and are limited to just 5000 boxes worldwide.
