In reply to Bunny's question yesterday on the Romeo y Juliet Belicoso. For what it is worth I am not a fan of it but I went through my stock and found one exceptional box.

MPC NOV 04 Andrew you have first right of refusal just let Lise know.

In relation to the question on the current HDM E2's. They reallly have been a star of 08 but recent shipments have been a tad patchy in construction. Have found this morning a couple of good HQ boxes. Beautiful rich aroma.

How about a possible self-incriminating question to tip off?

Prez, your HQ and PSP choices highlight the great job you guys do in picking excellent stock and ensuring that your customers get the best quality smokes possible....But what happens to boxes that you inspect and really aren't impressed with? Like, if you open a box and your first impression is "Gee, these are shyte!" do you put them away for a few years to see if they improve so you can sell them? Do you send them back to your supplier? Do you just shrug and send them to Ken? :ok: Just something I've been wondering. I've been impressed with the stock I've received from Czar so far, and from the sounds of it, everyone else is too....but I figure you must get at least SOME dud boxes from your supplier.....

Keep in mind we are wholesale distributors for the state of Queensland. lets go back one step.

Quality is a bell curve currently skewed to the right (which is good). About 30% of cigars fall into that below private client standard. if they are the mass market cigars (Cohiba Robusto, D4, M2. M4 etc) they go to the wholesale market (pubs, clubs, bottleshops). If they are say LGC MO2 or Winstons and they are crap or not to our minimum standard they get sent back.

That makes sense....and I forgot that you distribute to your State, and not just act as a store in your own right. Thanks for the insight, Prez!

Hey Rob. This may have been asked yesterday, but how are the current Connie #3? Any 08's in stock?

Thanks

Check yesterday's"Live from the humidor" thread. TEB NOV 07 and excellent. No 08's as yet.

How do the Romeo y Julieta Exhibiciones No. 3 look? This is fun!

Well below par currently. I have put them on my list to inspect at the warehouse next Tuesday and will see if I can locate some gems.

:ok: Damn, my wallet is telling me I should have kept my mouth shut. :(

How good is that box? Is it HQ?

It is HQ. I didn't go through all the boxes of Connie 3 yesterday as I was just answering a question. Lise was right in that we had sold the box pictured but I went through a few more this morning.

Any nice Monte 4 ? Dip 4 ? Monte Esp. #2 ?

:covereyes:

I have been looking for you :)

I will have to leave the Monte Especialles No 2 and the Dip 4 until I get to the warehouse Tuesday. Nothing here in the Czar humidor passes muster. I found a spectactular looking box of Monte Especiales No 2 but a tad underfilled.

What I have set aside is the fllowing. Just Liase with Lise if anything takes you fancy.

Montecristo No 4 REB OCT 08
