bbesner Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Love this! A Cohiba Humidor.... How many different humidors you must have!
dB69 Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 WOW, terrific! Really nice to see photos of rare cigars. Thank you, Sir!
Colt45 Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 those aren't fake bro.... I think you should explain why you think it's a fake rather than posting simply that it's fake. Looking at the "special" humidors PC has, I highly doubt he would have missed it if it was, in fact, a fake. Rare, yes but not fake. I'm not well versed on these things - not well versed at all, but I understand the skepticism - hence my own comment of "interesting". There has been some chatter over the past year regarding diplomatic cigars with palm tree bands. This reminds me quite a bit of the "extra run" of original behikes which popped up about two years ago. If you know where to look, these kind of "rarities" can be found, and I imagine will continue to appear with stories to go along with them. For anyone interested, I'd highly recommend the book "The Billionaire's Vinegar" by Benjamin Wallace. I tells the tale of how some of the biggest names in the buying and selling of rare wines were deceived. Again, I've no idea about these cigars, but I admit I'm a bit cautious....
Trevor2118 Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 There has been some chatter over the past year regarding diplomatic cigars with palm tree bands. I consider that most of this chatter is probabily from un-informed opinion, by people have no insider knowledge. The following three photos give an insiders view. Note the Palm Leaf bands (3 sizes) and the King of Spain bands.
maverickdrinker Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 thanks for posting this Trevor. I have seen the extra palm band first hand at El Laguito twice this year. They are for diplomatic use. They are typically used for cohiba lanceros however, there are special cases where the band is used on other cohiba vitolas. I understand that there have been alleged fakes of these floating around however, it is more honorable if you actually know the person posting before screaming out 'fakes'. Some have the opportunity to share their experiences/finds for other to see that typically would not even have access to. It is a shame that people have ichy trigger fingers before asking.
