SIGLO 1 REYES DAYLIGHT Monte Media Corona MONTE 5 SC PRINCIPE BOCJ RASCC SHORTS HUHC

I will go with a Padron 1926 Anni Principe Maduro (46x4.5) over a Cohiba Siglo 1 these days. $13 V $26. Painful to say.

It's not the ageing aspect that peeves me. In the end I think peeps are achieving 92/93 point experiences but are waiting/believing there is a 95/96 point experience in there. That's what I am reading. $150 cigar should be a 95+ point experience every time in my eyes. Every time. No BS about it's a handrolled product and so you the consumer should expect some variability. No, at the super premium price point the manufacturer has taken on the responsibility for a perfect QC experience every time + the blend is spot on cigar to cigar.

The difference between dogs and your wife: You put your dog and your wife into the trunk of your car and then drive around the city for two hours before going back to the trunk and opening it up. .....who's happy to see you?

Great photos

.....I am not sure I have anything remaining to play a CD

Fancy, but I think they have actually gone to some effort here. On top of that the value proposition isn't bad. No idea about the cigars. Perhaps you good folk can fill us in. Read the Full Charlie HW Article HERE

LR3 was the first Land Rover under Ford. They actually put some effort in. One of the better Land/Range Rovers.

Happy Thanksgiving folks

No. Take a photo, post it on Insta. Then rub it, take another photo next day...and post it on Insta again. Then traumatise your friends at lunch.

Christmas gift for Ken sorted.

So what have the "Hands of Time" done with the Cohiba Talisman? This is a new series where we take a cigar that may have had somewhat mixed reviews upon release and see where they are now with a little water under the bridge. Released late 2017 these Sublimes No 1 sold like hotcakes. They sold so well that the pigs in the trough decided "limited edicion" could be strtched by rolling and releasing another 200,000 in 2019. Didn't that raise a controversy! Overall the cigar was well received but there were plenty of QC complaints at the time and that was mostly in relation to the 2017 release. So a couple of questions to our esteemed Cohiba loving members. 1. How has the Talisman aged/transitioned since 2017/19 ? Is it ageing well? What do you think its ageing sweet spot will be? 2. If you have experienced both releases (17/19), can you tell any difference between the releases?

This series to explore whether a particular cigar is humidor worthy. Cost these days is an issue for many so let's see if we can highlight some absolute standouts. This should particularly assist those new to the cigar world. To be fair, most of the cigars we have featured to date have scored exceptionally well. Surprisingly well! Scoring is: 1-3 (Poor) 4-6 (Average to good) 7-10 (very good to excellent) Use the Poll. You are more than free to comment away Is the Cohiba Siglo 1 a worth the $25-$30 USD entry price (rough online global price)? I think the Cohiba Siglo 1 is a magnificent cigar. The height of perla perfection. Powerful yet elegant. Rich yet subtle. Have your say!

I love the way Picadura was packaged across the brands. I love the simplicity, the elegance.
