    What CC you smoking?

    Yesterdays Delights. Monte Especial No.2 '05 This and the '08 Monte 2s I have been smoking lately have a very similar backbone to their profile. Love it. Smooth as all get-out. Wonderful cigar Upmann Mag 50 '15 Sure, it may be obviously youthful when lit up, but 3 puffs in and you forget...

    Why do people spend so much time arguing about CC's

    Personally, I don't think that Cuban tobacco will ever be blended again, unless specifically distributed by a LCDH. They may open the island up to trading, but their cash crops are not going to be pilliaged. If their government stays in tact, similar to what it is now, they will not allow...

    What CC you smoking?

    The last Picador I had was at the party on the second floor patio in Havana Nov, '16. Had to put it down 1/4 of the way in. It was so bitter, and there was some flavor in it I didn't like. PL has never been my bag....baby....anyways. Heh. I have heard they are getting better though.

    What CC you smoking?

    Last nights Delight. Mo te No.2 Jun '08 Wonderful. I don't ever remember Monte 2's having a buttery characteristic. Retrohale was smooth and fantastic.

    Let's see how you store your cigars.

    Anyone else use anything odd or different. I came across this cooler at a liquor store that was broken, and so brought it home as my aging humi. Sealed really well, so it stays a rock solid 65 all day. 10 cuft cooler.

    Which CC do you have 5 boxes of?

    Depends on what you mean. I have more bundles of Alex's customs than anything else. Then, I guess the wonderful Connie A second.

    What CC you smoking?

    Tonights Delight Parti 898 '16 Right now, besides my Alex customs, there isn't a younger cigar smoking better imho. These are so great with only a year on them. Hard to stay away. I would take these over all other Partagas cigars.

    Top Two you are holding......

    Upmann by far. Next is almost a 3 way tie between Hoyo, Parti and Trinidad. Of course, we are talking boxes, because I have more Alex Gonzalex bundles than 1 brand. I am an equal oportunity whore :D

    Freeze your CC's

    You may have heard from one source that they do, but in all the times I have been down to the island, I have never run across anyone who has seen that freezing set up. There is a person who has a few pics online, and it looks promissing, but still no one has seen any of this process. With so...

    Freeze your CC's

    While in Cuba in June, I had the ability to open boxes before I bought. I had found some '13, '14 and '15 boxes that I wanted opened. Beetles. All over. Bad. 5 boxes. At the LCDH. Now I don't know how long they had been at the stores, hence the storage conditions to that point, either way, I...

    My Trip To Havana March 24 - 28

    Nice write up. Nice to see your experience overall was very positive. Those cabbies have a great time with not telling you the proper price...it's like a game for them. Havana has some of the best food around. I too have had great experiences eating at the restaurants.

    Useless Poll 2 - Do you know what the most prized cigar in your humidor tastes like?

    My most prized cigars are the ones I had blended when on the trip to Nicaragua. I have smoked 2 out of the 10 in the last 5 years, just to see how they progressed, but I can never buy those anywhere, or have them rolled exactly the same, so they are most valuable....and one day I will have...

    Helpful Winedor write up

    There is always a lot of talk on every forum I have ever seen about winedors and their use as a humidor. I may be able to answer a question or two. What is a thermoelectric unit ? -These coolers/wine fridges are popular when the size is a bit smaller, so let's say usually a 10-28 bottle...

    Las Calaveras..........

    I agree whole-heartedly. I smoked one, then immediately searched out a box of Robustos and Toros recently, which isn't the easiest now as they are getting harder to find. I have never bought 2 boxes immediately before, I thought these are that good, and CAN'T WAIT to let them sit for a year at...
