Any good word at all about this DE cigar?

It was neither outright good nor outright bad. In other words, it was serviceable without being remarkable. It was certainly not worthy of writing up a detailed review, put it that way.

Several features, clear case from the single pic alone. Not a matter of opinion. Will send you a PM with details.

A little history on me first:

I've been smoking cigars for 40 years, 35 exclusively Cubans, just recently got back into non-cubans since Covid killed it for the US.

Non-Cubans have come full circle and many equal and exceed Cubans now- good for us.

As you can see by the jar, this is just about 10 years of my bands- all Cuban bands except for one Opus.

There are two different "Esplindidos" pictured here, one old style band and the box have the newer bands, boxes are perfect, smooth and well made- indicitive of Cuban Esplindidos.

The bands include the correct holograms, plus the micro Taino within the Taino- both holograms, notice how perfect all the color matches are- perfect! The alinement of the bands-perfect! The weight of the authenticity card- perfect! The thickness of the cedar devider- perfect!

But, the one thing you can't fake- the cigar!

After 35 years of smoking Cubans exclusively, I can certify these are definitely Fake as F_ _ K!

Great eye Fugu! 

Esplendidos are a symphony of flavors and complexity of layers (I've had hundreds over the years), these are NOT. These are absolutely the best fakes I've ever seen.

I tried both tonight. 😝

The good news is I got them with the humidor I paid $300 bucks for and an old beater watch, at least the OpusX appear to be legit- we'll see?

My uncle passed over the weekend. He was a tremendous athlete, a proud alum of our school, and a phenomenal member of our college fraternity. Saturday I lit up a PSD4 TLP OCT 23 in contemplation of him, reading through past texts and scrolling through pictures. Couldn’t have picked a more excellent cigar to commemorate the moment.

God Of Fire Diademas. I prefer the Carlito blends over the Don Carlos on this Prometheus line. So good.

I think what @westg is trying to say is that this Upmann was as good as a Bolivar Coronas Junior. Because let's face it, they're pretty good smaller-sized cigars, aren't they?
