Yes, 2012 was the original date of release for this vitola. Thanks!

Me too. It's funny how this all happened a long time ago, yet at the same time it feels like yesterday!

Ninfaaaaaaaa!!! Trying to block my face as best as I can, since some of you may be eating lunch right now.

Welcome to FOH!

This is democracy manifest!

Hey everyone, looking to purchase a box of Siglo II from this grey market vendor I’ve had good luck with so far, he sent me a few pics of one box. While I’m definitely a novice everything checks out to my eyes except the barcode comes back wrong on Habanos. It comes back as a 3 count 15 total pack of Tubos not as a SLB of 25. He has more boxes with one having a correct barcode, they seem to be 2019 stock with MINSAP stickers. Is there any possibility this is legit or is it unequivocally fake? Would a box nearly identical to this with a correct barcode be trustworthy or would this first box be enough reason to avoid? I also included a photo with another box having a matching barcode. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

And you, sir, are you waiting to receive my limp penis?

Hey everyone, been smoking cigars 9 years or so but took a break for a few years and only got into them again around this time last year. I’d say Cubans really got me back into them when I tried my first Siglo I. I’d say my favs in no real order are the Siglo II, Monte no 4, RASS, and Hoyo Rio Seco. I’ve only lurked on here the past year but excited to participate!

I barely keep track myself 2012 coded LFD recently opened from a sealed box obtained from a very reliable vendor that keeps stock on the dry and cool side, but very stable. These have smoked fine+, got these for a song, will visit whenever on that side of town. 2021 Banded Tatuaje from a very moist and warm junk smoke shop with zero visibile insulation. Lots of obviously temperature and humidity damaged cigars & a great selection of beetle holed Cubans about an hour outside Dallas. These surprisingly looked good and the other Tatuaje sampled smoked well, but I can't remember if I tried one of these for sure; prices were crazy, will never go there again. I guess we'll see, both are in Duo. Jackson you also mentioned the WCD lanceros you found with barely a trace of yellow cello at more than a few years. I love to see yellow cello, but it's not a clear sign of age in either direction.

There's not much visible difference from across the room between a bottle of nouveau and a bottle of DRC. I have ~$1k value boxes I bought for ~$300. I know I've paid $300 or so for vintage DRC RSV and you can't find that fresh for less than $3k these days. Mac18 has at least tripled in price on the same time line; Mac25 would be a better comparison but I don't have those numbers handy. This isn't intrinsic value, but an emotional value in that someone will pay that for it. Only HSA's discretion is in the way of +$1k msrp per stick, and they know there is a demographic that will pay for consumable luxury, it's already happened in alcohol.

I don't know what a $10,000 box of cigars is supposed to look like, but... that is a cool picture. Hadn't seen the 10-count before.

More spoiler, or maybe not, I’m never sure what Cody’s got up his sleeve… think of how a bourbon gets its “oaky” flavor. Temperature fluctuations in the rickhouse cause the liquor to seep into and out of the barrel wood, giving color and flavor depth to the bourbon. Now, kind of the reverse of that, oils seeping into the celo due to temp fluctuations. Definitely accelerates that discoloration.

I see you know your Judo well.

Marco, have you heard anything else about Eternos? I saw this one last year but it seemed like its release type was uncertain/unclear at the time. It's great to see a 45rg cigar at that length.

This is very interesting. When I was the GM for the tobacconist chain in Alberta, we had an ongoing issue with our store being targeted by professional crews who were emptying out all the cigarettes. Never bothered to touch a quarter million+ in cigar inventory, because cartons of cigarettes are essentially bricks of cash. Cops wouldn't act on anything, and it got to the point where we could pinpoint a week or even an evening where a break-in was likely to occur. Finally one of the store owners hid a GPS unit in a carton and sure enough a couple days later he got robbed. Broke open a crew who had been operating all over the province, but he had to force the issue with the RCMP.

Pics of what's currently on the drinking shelves. Lots of other unopened bottles stored in other places. Best under $70 - Eagle Rare 10 @ $39.99 a few years ago in Georgia. The WT Rare Breed would be a close second and is easily found in Florida. Best over $70 - Weller Antique 107 @ $99 from Tennessee. The Rossville Union, Cask Strength at 122.2 proof bought in Maryland is the sleeper in this category.

Stunning John.

Great list. Nothing questionable. 😂

Nah, you got the right idea, $1.2k a pop.
