Before Covid-19 83-85, just so-so cigars for me. After Covid-19 (more accurately, after 2021 in my opinion) 95-97, suddenly turned into great cigars.

Famosos is one of the greatest cigars in my opinion. Very complexed flavors of dark chocoate, leather, earth and honey, especially when Famosos is well aged, say at least three years. Famosos is similar to no other cigar. Very unique, I feel.

Thank you for your nice review. I have already smoked all my 2023 Desnudo Lancero. And I believe that 2023 Desnudo Lancero had a high aging potential.

Thank you very much for your kind and nice review. I am very much looking forward to smoke it, really.

Thank you for your nice review. Partagas Churchill, great and I feel nostalgic indeed. The ashtray seems to me very beautiful and a cool design...fabulous.

I do not recommend to storing cigars at temparatures above 20 degrees Celsius. I had very hard experience in the past when I worked in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. The temparature in my apartment was around 25 to 30 degrees Celsius. I stored my cigars (5-6 boxes) I brought from Japan in the room. After 2 weeks, I found that mold was growing on the surface of all my cigars. Now I live in Tokyo Japan where it is very humid and hot in summer therefore I store my cigars (about 30 boxes) in my wine cellar at the controlled temperature of 14 degrees Celsius. And I put all my cigars into Ziploc style bags (I use double bags) with a 69% Boveda pack.

I agree 100%. My 2021 and 2022 Desnudo (Lancero Colorado and Lancero Maduro) got much better after 2-3 years, more complex and more flavourful.

Based on my personal experience, Davidoff Aniversario No.2 (discontinued......).

(1) This is absolutely crazy decision. No liberty, no rights, no love for cigars. (2) I am afraid that making fakes becomes very easy. (3) Anyway, plain packaging is ugly. I need beauty because I am not a robot.

Everytime when I smoke a cigar after dinner, I have many kinds of nightmares. Without a cigar before sleep, I never have a bad dream. Therefore this phenomena must be caused by nicotine, I think. But I do not care about it at all. I enjoy a nightmare after a cigar. ^o^

Really beautiful. For me, old design is better than current design in cigars packaging and many thing such as pen, car, furniture, cutlery, and so on.

Thank you for your great review. Reading your review, I decide to purchase this Illusione Haut 10. ^o^

What an incredible line-up of great wines! Fantastic!

(1) I am not so confident the price is still reasonable, but I recommend as follows. Partagas Aristocrats Partagas Serie P2 (10's) Hoyo de Monterrey Palmas Extra Por Larranaga Petit Coronas (sorry, this is 50's) Punch Short de Punch H.Upmann Half Coronas Ramon Alloness Specially Selected Vegas Robaina Famosos (2) Compaired to 1990-2000 era, better point is that the quality of almost akll the Cuban cigars is greatly improved according to my personal experience. (3) For example, my Romeo y Julietta Churchill in 2020 is unbelievably better than the ones in 1990's I smoked.

Wishing you more and more happiness. Happy birthday, Di !!

Cigars in ziplock style bag with BOVEDA 69%, again in ziplock style bag in order to avoid drying out. That's enough for me. In my house, I use the same style when I stock cigars in my wine cellar.

Considering the current variety and quality, I would like to say Bolivar and Ramon Allones. Punch used to be great however now lack of variety, especially because Churchill and Petit Punch were discontinued.

I have smoked the following Nudies 2023 (&2024). N1 Lancero N4 Petit Coronas N6 Canonazo Amante N8 Churchill Robusto Trinity Among these, I love N6 Amante most and this is the most complex and flavorful (many layers of sweetness) in my opinion. However, the others are also very good cigars to enjoy daily.

When and where can we purchase 109 and petit 109, could you please tell us, El Pres?

Congratulations for this great dinner.

I usually rate as follows in my cigar inventry list. SUPER GREAT superb excellent good soso bad

I like Partagas brand among all the cuban cigar brands. So, of course I am interested in the PARTAGÁS LÍNEA MAESTRA and I may try at least single cigar. However, I would like to say very loudly to Cuban government and Habanos S.A. to please re-produce Partagas Lonsdales and/or Coronas if you have time to produce such luxury cigars with extremely expensive pricing as MAESTRA.
