agulerer Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 What do you think how old Cuban cigar should be for smoking? Is 1 year good or 3-4 years or more? And what do you think about consistency about Cuban cigars in a box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luv2fly Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Easy SmallClub! I enjoy your up front posts and I know that you are trying to help. Things get lost in translation. Lets welcome our OP. The links are great information! Please look at those. That said, welcome and you might want to find a hard hat!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaDisco Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 To answer the original question . . . IMHO: Lots of CC's that smoke very well, right off the truck (ROTT): Bolivar Corona Grande, Punch Punch, Partagas Lusitania (for Gawd's Sake!), Partagas D4, Hoyo Epi 2, and on and on. It varies from year to year of course, but you shouldn't be shy about dipping into a new box after a 30 day rest (from the trials of travel) just to see what's what. The only fresh cigars from Cuban that have been total losers for me have been Bolivar Royal Coronas and Cohiba Robustos . . . and pretty much everyone else disagrees with me. Ideally, you'll let them all get 1-5 years on them. That seems to improve just about all Cubans, and some will really shine with serious aging, but you'll find so many that are smokeable young. They might get a bit of newbie harshness and nip in the final third, but that just lets you know to leave the rest of the box be for a bit longer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On several forums there was a rule/sticky inviting new members to use the "search" function before posting any question… As an old Usenet member your post has reminded me of September 1993. or as some of us still call it Eternal September. Every year, in September, we had an influx of new users. It would generally only take a month or so for the new users to learn how to behave in the Usenet environment, or get bored, and leave it to the "nerds" In 1993 however, AOL started offering Usenet to their customers, and in the end, we were so overwhelmed that we simply gave up. At first it was annoying, then it was infuriating, and in the end it was sad. Now, all of these years later, it just makes me feel really really old. In honor let this post be dated Sep, 8424, 1993 CEST 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put as much effort into being dicks, as you could have put into helping this new guy out, the forum would be even better than it is. I was merely suggesting him to use the search function and i didn't mean to be rude or anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2fly Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Max, well said. We were all new at some point. I personally suck at search. I always use the wrong keywords. I may need to be more simplistic in my searches. Good information posted here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ken Gargett Posted September 23, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2016 may i say, kudos all round. as a former moderator, currently serving the 28th month of a 6 month suspension, which was unfairly imposed by the forces of darkness (hi rob) for merely attempting to defend liberty and civilisation, this is exactly how it is done. personally, i used to wait till i knew rob was getting on a long haul flight before i'd throw the grenades but away on hols with his kid is equally admirable. i can see him now, in his wannabee glam cave - "why, why? why do those %**^%& wait until i am away before they do this. the **&*)(&&^*u9." and lots more. now, if we can somehow squeeze in a little something on the creationist fruitcakes and the gun nutters we will have a thread we can all be proud of. i look forward to many of you joining me on the bench. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bohn007 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I apparently have missed all the fun today on this thread. Seriously though, as I read all the responses, it would appear that everyone was trying to help and nothing was to be taken offfensively. While I am a newbie here, I don't consider myself all that new as my cabinet is almost as old as my oldest son. That being said, I have all of you to thank for now needing 3 more storage containers as I have even more fallen in love with having a good smoke and look forward to joining all of you possibly next year in Cuba. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
