"The Dunhill treatment differed from most tobacconists of the time, as all cigars coming from Havana were reconditioned at each Dunhill store through a three-phase process before they were deemed fit to sell. This was what the company referred to as its “Selección Suprema” designation. The name wasn’t merely hubris. Here’s what they did:"

I think @JohnS has a few of these laying around. Probably. Maybe.

Haha...I wish! The only enthusiast/s I know that would have this cigar in their humidor would be located in Hong Kong. One is unlikely to have acquired this type of cigar without it been handed down to you within your family or from a mentor, in my opinion.

I have friends who have these cigars in their humidors and they live in the USofA - just sayin’.

You nailed it John - a mentor. Been smoking fine puros since 2000, was given 5 (No. 504) in 2020. The first two I smoked, one in 2021 for my 50th b'day and one last Thanksgiving were out of this world cigars. Showed little to no signs of age, exceptional in every way- the finest cigars I've ever smoked. Cigars are from the early to mid 1970s.
