Absolutely second this. I'll add the Peitie Monte 2 that is within that 2 year fresh stage is a Chocolate and Cream Dream. It's as if the flavor opacity is cranked to 11, which is what I look for in that palate.

Physical gold and silver will never let you down. I still have my constitutional silver I collected off my paper routes 55 yrs ago. I was buying silver like a maniac between 20-30 an oz and gold at $600 a 1/4 oz which wasn't that long ago. Lucky gut feeling I guess. When you look at the demand numbers vs the production numbers for both, the demand is still leading a historic high with China and India leading the pack. Wish I had bought more but I still had to eat also. 😁 I'm 70 now and getting close to selling out but not until after this summer or possibly the end of this year. Yea there was a historic dip that scared the crap out of everyone but I'm staying buckled in for now. I'm betting this year is going to be better than 2025 for the stackers.

No honey? Does that venture into Hot Toddy-ish territory?

Just enjoy it, imagine if the blockade actually happens on the week where there are the MOST tourists on the island. The worse that can happen is having no food and an unlimited supply of cigars.

Love the photos and the visual stroll they take you on-- tagging along with Hamlet and the Fab 5 team.

They are great for cigars you hate🤣

Simple is oddly confusing to many. Somewhere, someone is panicking and wondering English Breakfast or Earl Grey? White or dark rum? Trinidad or Bolivar? Cheers!

The word "additional" does a lot of heavy lifting here in respect of the MC Eagle....

Hi Arjun! Honduran tobacco in general ages well. In my humble opinion, the Fab5 line is an excellent affordable option and I think only require 90 days of rest and then you can enjoy them. Not really a specific cigar to buy and age. I am in the suburbs of Chicago. Which shop is selling Fab5 cigars!? That’s so cool.

Any ETA on this? I want to list a box, but don't have any price reference point until this is fixed.

I’ll take 3 years aged over a box code

I agree. Especially Montecristo. My 2s and 4s I love just a year or two old. They lose the magic after 4-5 years.

Admit it, you just want to start drinking earlier, right?

Thanks mate.

Sitting on top of the world with a Sovereign Sun on my holiday last year.

Some of your previous posts made me think that was exactly what you were saying about CCs (calling them marshmallowy or dessert like doesn't help either) but I was probably lost in translation... That's alright mate, glad you made it clearer 👍

Smoke them daily is exactly what I do, the Fab 5 provides me an excellent cigar, at a price I can smoke everyday without bankrupting myself. I could never smoke decent Cubans at the rate i smoke simply on cost alone. Don't get me wrong, when i fancy something that feels a bit more special with a fancy band i will smoke a nice Cuban or a decent NC, Padron, My Father, Fuente, Foundation, etc. But in the morning when i jump in the van with a coffee and light up for the drive to work that Spada Gorda or Robusto Trinity just hits the spot.

That’s a “don’t make me choose” for sure, but I went with Spielberg. The sheer volume of iconic films is what puts him over the top for me. And his two best (A.I., Empire of the Sun) barely get a mention.

Took another shot at getting a UBL coded box as listed. Nope. Came up empty again. 😞

Enjoyed a Juan López Malecon Edición Regional Andorra 2015. Exceptional cigar.

My enjoyment of cigars doesn’t revolve around a competition between CCs and NCs. It is a matter of bias that I enjoy cigars that are stronger and bolder, rather than marshmallowy and dessert like. In fact, when I see a company describe their cigars in such a way, I stay as far away as possible (Ezra Zion, I’m talking to you). What I don’t do, however, is abjectly say I’ll only smoke a LFD Double Ligero or JdN Antaño or (trying to think of a garbage NC comparable to the Cohiba Shorts) some Banana flavored Backwoods over a CC any day. One’s palate is their palate, but to backhandedly imply there are no good or worthwhile NCs is just wonky -at best. (And I’m speaking about NCs other than Fab5 here. I offered up three alone in my last post.) I’m not team anybody. I’m team realist and if you close your mind to a given group of cigars because the ones you’ve tasted didn’t fit your desired profile and then sorta backhandedly slag on others that do enjoy those, well, we’ll just have to, in the best way possible, agree to disagree. And as a note, I’m not jumping off a bridge because others are and I don’t want to be alone…

You don’t tell me what you like! I tell you what you like!

Short Smokes are a necessity this time a year, and I was able to enjoy a Sovereign Suns while shoveling the snow. Probably more of that in store for me this weekend.
