Questions on Cabs


Recommended Posts

I don't know if this has been covered but I have 2 questions? What are the pros/cons of purchasing a cab vs a 25 count box? And what is the best available cab out there that is ideal for long term aging(10 year+)? I already have a cab of PLPC so no need to mention those. I am thinking of either a cab of RASS, ERdM Choix, SLR Regios, or RyJ Ex #4. Right now the RASS is in the lead. Thoughts?

That's a very good suggestion, but I have a GREAT one:

A 50 cab of early 2007 Saint Luis Rey Doble Coronas! In ten years, or less, you will have something that will be the envy of all your friends.

this is almost as bad as agreeing with rob but i must say that shrink is 100% spot on. cannot go wrong. i'd definitely go SLR DC's. thy may seem exy now but in ten years, will look spectacular bargains.

also, a good cab of partagas lusi with age is a thing of beauty.

Theory is that cabs provide a better aging environment. I buy this.

Another hypothesis I've read is that cigars "in the round" might burn/draw better than those which are box pressed. IMO, there's not much validity to this.

Many great ideas already listed. I particularly like Jimmy's.

There is something beautiful about peeking into that cab and seeing the cigars nicely packed in that big artful roll.

I would add to the outstanding list that has already been mentioned:

Hoyo Epi #2 (2007s are very nice)

RJ Exhibicion #4--I can't speak to the recent ones but I have 99s that are exceptional

My thoughts EXACTLY.

I've got two.....one for smoking over the next 36mo and the other in deep storage for long haul

I don't get to enjoy a DC that often so I'm expecting to hold-on to at least one full cab for 7-10 years.
