I've wondered the same. In addition, with how they can seize Russian oligarch assets just the same. Who's going to stop the seizure either way?

I know exactly what you're talking about 🤣😂

Is OAT FEB 11also a valid code for Hoyo DC 2011 ? Thx

I don't know maritime law at all, but my guess is that there is a labyrnth of laws and interpretations. Is this clear cut legal? Who knows. Is it legally defensible in some gray area interpretation? Likely. I haven't been following super closely but it appears that Venezuela is in the US crosshairs. Curious to see the end game.

Here is the photo from the box so seems box is fake??

I've been loving Mag 54s lately. I had one the other day that tasted like an ashtray. Mood, what you ate that day, what you drink, who pissed you off.... the more I feel like I'm truly understanding what I look for, one of these duds throws it all off. 😅

Sorry for your loss, condolences to you and your family during this difficult time.

I believe POS was the party factory back in 06/07. Have some awesome sticks from that factory honestly. I am not aware of a 2011 POS factory. Edit: looking at old box code list. It does appear there's a PES code in 2011. Could be transcription error on the users part.

I must’ve missed something. Under what authority or circumstance can an oil tanker be legally seized by anyone? I’m not trying to get into politics, I’m asking a literal question as it applies to maritime law.

Should we expect someone to market a long serrated cigar at some point?

Not technically Triangle, but now my preferred option since all locations are equal drive for me and Iive in the Triangle area is: Black River Tobacco in Dunn - full bar, free coffee, good cigar selection, large indoor and outdoor lounge. Requires membership or guest status but cost is low for membership.

Bought a pack in July and agree 100% with your November notes. In fact rolled thru then so quick ordered more this month. Those though need rest, dry and unsmokeable ROTT. Hoping they come back.

Both sticks below are surprisingly CoRos. Both purchased from one of the 'legit' grey market vendors years ago. Stick on the left from a cab circa 2017 and stick on the right from a 5X3 petaca circa 2019. There was a few of really small CoRo in that 5X3. Others that were more traditional robusto size. The difference in the RG size is stark to say the least. Think this is an example of rollers 'hiding' their mistakes in a petaca/tubo.

I like them for a change up, but, I would rather have a CoRo or a Siglo II.

Well, "Worst QC 2025 - CC category" is a dubious honor I wasn't hoping for my purchased sticks this year. Yeah, I got a pack of 5 X 3 packs of these, most look a lot better than this, but consistency is definitely not what they were going for with these

'16 Partagas short. Snappy and bold still.

I smoked a couple from 2023 that were gifted and they were ok, but young. I still have one left I'm saving. If I'm going to invest in a short smoke Cohiba, it would not be the Medio Siglo, it would be the Siglo I or II.

The only cigar I would cut-in-half is the Toscano, which is made for it.

So sorry for your loss my friend.

Exceptional cigar. I've smoked through 4 boxes bought from FoH at $299 for 25. I have one box left and I won't be buying ever again.

A 2021 Hoyo de San Juan, pretty disappointing, I liked it a lot more 2 years ago which makes me question their ageing potential 🤔 Maybe this one was a dud, any thoughts ??

I skimmed because you know. I expected junk and got this Store the unused half away from your good cigars—never put it back in your main humidor because it’ll make everything else smell like stale smoke. WTAF? @JohnS sorry mate but do you read these articles before posting as this one seems below par?
