I would love for this trend to end, but get cha bread Aladino. I'm quite literally not the target audience. If this helps the Eiroas stay in business, then keep the tacky limited editions coming!

Didn’t Bruce Willis himself say Die Hard wasn’t a Christmas movie? 🫢

Hey guys, picked these 2 up from a source I generally consider reliable. Immediately the EL band stood out to me for the obviously messed up printing, color seems too bright and smooth (lacking the background texture closer to the gold of the partagas band), and the black lines just being off/too thin/messy. I don't currently have any other EL bands to compare to. I've been through a good amount of these in the past and have seen darker/mottled examples before but don't think to this degree. Size is right, and they smell mostly right (perhaps a touch of chocolate smell, which I dont think I've gotten from these in the past). I can't find anything wrong with the Partagas band itself. Has anyone ever gotten EL bands on anything legit that looked this bad? Does anyone see anything else wrong with these? Could use some experience here if I'm definitively chasing my money back. Thanks guys!

God made half coronas for a reason.

I really wish I could participate in a Cigar Advent calendar, but with temperatures currently around -20 and wicked winds cigar smoking for me is in full hibernation, with no real options for indoor cigars. Love what you're doing!

This. The photo I use for my forum photo is of an original 2010 Tatuaje Anarchy. I thought it was a great cigar, very flavorful and strong enough to notice. I was lucky enough to buy two boxes-I kept one and sent the other out in a cigar bomb. Fast forward quite a few years later and I realize I had two left from my original box that I literally forgot about. I was excited as all get out to smoke one of those because I remembered how awesome it had been. Complete and utter disappointment. The flavors that had once been so awesome were now, well, simply bland, and even more disappointing to me was that the strength that had been so obvious before, was simply non-existent now. I really threw the other one away. I personally don’t but NCs to hide them away in hopes the flavors will “develop” into something it’s already not. Isn’t that what CCs are for?! If somebody wants to do such a thing, more power to them. For me, unless a maker tells me to hold a cigar for it to get “better,” I’m smoking it as they intended, taking the bad with the good. 🙂

Thanks, I really like these cigars and they will be fantastic in a few months when we get through winter.

Thanks, got kind of lucky in the Chargers game and the way it ended.

Thanks very much, very much appreciated.

Excise duty 35%, VAT 19%. Is that before or after retail price is set? Thanks JohnS for the pics of the birds. I was beginning to wonder, Robs pics were all dudes and a giant condom on the car seats. John

The half with the head will not unravel but may need some touch up with fruit pectin. The half with the foot will unravel and need more fruit pectin. You will definitely have two different cigars. The half with the foot will burn hotter, so you'll have to concentrate on baby draws. I don't see a benefit, only possibly if it was a Churchill, DC or A. John

My deepest condolences.

Die Hard not a Christmas movie? Next you'll be telling me Lethal Weapon, The Long Kiss Goodnight, 12 Monkeys, Gremlins, Invasion USA, Reindeer Games, Batman Returns, or Fatman are not Christmas movies!

Sorry for your loss. Condolences.

Reminds me of Bonus points if you recognise!

I voted BR Petite 109.

Third!

@Ford2112 many condolences mate. Sorry to read of your loss.

I'm usually fairly stoic in my disregard for fancy packaging, but that's a nice box....

That so many companies are doing this really shows you where the money is. Asian market is dictating trends now.

Does everyone pay to attend an event like this or is it by invitation only or a combination? I ask because I’m used to a “gala” generally being a fund raiser for a non-profit organization.

@Ford2112 Condolences brother.
