I've said this before - but this is just a reminder. I'll be breaking BOTL over time in order to get it into a far better place. Just be patient if you can't reach us! We'll be back
I've been eyeballing that one there for a while. It's gorgeous! Though seeing yours now, I'm seeing what you're saying, I would think it'd hold more too.
The one in the photo is the one at Casa de Montecristo, correct?
If so, I was looking at it not too long ago. I have also personally seen the ones coming out of Cuba. The one at Casa does not have the same quality feel to it. I thought the wood seemed more like laminate compared to the originals.
It's still nice, but more of a show piece. I had the chance to buy one of the originals not too long ago, but it was bought by another collector while I was thinking about it.
