The Cohiba Medio Siglo at $52 a stick for a Petit Robusto is not going to poll well on "value" However, this is one of the finest and richest blends in the Cohiba line-up.....all wasted because they put it in a Petit Robusto. My opinion only of course!!! Throw this blend into an Edmundo size (135mm/5.3 inches X 52 RG) and I believe it would be one of Cohiba’ s greatest sellers. Cohiba Medio Siglo.

The Ninfa 🤌🏻

Mexico and Russia have been the No 1 and 2 Cuban supplier of oil in 2025. Venezuela No 3. Taking Venezuela off the table would hurt. Pressure on Mexico to cease supply would be the next logical step.

Finishing off a Ninfa with my old mate Rod. Who’s better looking? Lol

Box of Partagás Mille Fleurs 2018 Only one has had a good draw. To be fair, that one was an amazing smoke, but the others weren't able to be rescued with a perfecdraw.

In honor of and thanks to my brother Robert, Tuscano Originales. Thanks for the tip on these. I like it.

I don’t know how they did it, but I had 6 or 7 cigars in the bottom layer of a box of Edmundos where the wrapper was folded up on one side like an accordion. They smoked fine but had a nasty looking scar down the side.

Giant cigar with a thick ring gauge in the thumbnail lines up with today's fad. Not entirely convinced it's AI. Will need to investigate further

I've had two boxes. Half way through the second. I've found them to be just okay. At the price, even before the hike, I was disappointed. Something magical needs to happen to the remaining for me to reconsider.

Carlota with Jax, day after delivery

My first box JL2 about years ago. Every stick was a slightly different ring gauge. Strangest damn thing ever.

Fat Fundy. Second big smoke in a long day of grading papers, do I look tired? 😆 Having this after an old Sir Winnie, and frankly it’s damn good competition!

Y’all making me dizzy!

Unfortunately sublime

Sir Winnie, 2014. Does not disappoint.

Good lord, how did I forget to post mine for this! Wrapper is a lovely colorado, maybe a touch lighter. The aroma off the body is a good deep barnyard. Moistening the tip to light it gives me a lot of pepper on the tongue, and I'm hoping that doesn't play too much into the light-up. Cold draw has just a touch of pepper, cream, caramel, and a slight herbal quality. The Corojo shines through in the light-up. A bit of pepper in the nose, yes, but some raisin, blueberry, caramel, and coffee. Nice opening, although I hope the heat dies down quickly. Going on, the pepper hangs on by a thread, but what's behind it is fantastic! Getting a nutty flavor that at first I think is cashew butter, some crispy toasted caramel, cream, and the finish is an excellent mix of vegetal/herbal and dark maple qualities. A very long finish, too, and a viscous oily mouthfeel. Love that. Keeps me slightly smacking my tongue against my front teeth like a fool. Barely even into this thing, 1/4 inch maybe, and already I'm getting great development. Going into the 2nd third, there is more sandalwood, some dark cherry, and still that delicious herbal/vegetal note I can't quite place. Strength seems to be around med-full, and solid construction. Had a wonky burn for a second, but it corrected itself. This one definitely scratches many itches, so far. Right before the last third, ash falls off and suddenly my cigar is no longer lit. A quick relight and we're back on track. Nuts and coffee, and some dark fruit. Plum brandy, maybe. The dark herbal note from earlier is less present, and I miss it. The nub is big and bold and delicious, molasses and cream in equal measure. Solid smoke! 93

I don't have pictures, but have had at least two tubos with the same issue. One was a Punch Punch, the other was a Cohiba. Both smoked alright, but it was pretty disheartening. I can also remember one box of Connie 1, back in mid-2010's maybe 2014 or so. Two of the sticks were vastly underfilled, and in putting them in the box, those two were squashed to about two ring gauges smaller! Both of them smoked horribly, involving many relights.

Shizzle! I owe you a DM. I’ll do it tonight. Sorry!

Cuban Cigar Gods thankyou very much. 😎

Look like a sausage fest to me.I’m sure “I mock what I don’t understand”.

They gave these out at my cigar club Christmas party. It’s pretty good.

Very enjoyable WOAM.

As soon as the seizure became public, it was pretty clear where the tanker was headed. Just reinforces the Venezuela moves as partly of a piece with long term strategy on Cuba. Can other Latin American countries like Mexico pick up the slack if Maduro's oil dries up? We're about to find out. Venezuelan oil has been a major source of foreign currency for Cuba. US seizes oil tanker off Venezuela bound for Cuba - POLITICO

Also it ticks our list!

And the episode is called The Brats. Classic and fitting 😎
