I had one as part of a sampler pack prize a few months ago (Week in Pictures - around the time my daughter graduated high school). It was one hell of a quality cigar, bliss all the way and around 2-and-a-half hours required to finish it. It was all cocoa, nut and cream...light on coffee and the refinement of a Montecristo Especial or Especiales No.2 to boot. What a combination! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been hesitant to buy any of these, because of the RG. May have to give it a try, after your take on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post liquid360 Posted February 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2019 Managed to score this box, the biggest box I’ve ever seen, during the 15% off everything sale... that’s $650’ish for a Cab of Hoyo Double Coronas. I regret not buying another. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bands are glued at different distances from the head2. Torn leg wrapper3. Date stamp and factory code not at the center of the box4.

Is there a Tabacuba factory sticker under the authentication mark? Yes, this is original box directly from a reliable source that I bought from and I imagine many of you have been buying from too. The box was not that well packed with not enough Styrofoam material between the box and the outer shipping box. Before I took the pic I also attempted to lift the cigars by the ribbon out of the box and I may have slight damaged a couple of the feet and wrapper of the cigars and cigar bands sort of slid on some too. Thanks for the concern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coronas were high on my list and I feel very fortunate to have snagged 2 boxes.

Popular Post Weeklystogie Posted February 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2019 This is a cool box for me because it’s DIC 18 and we had a baby girl in December last year. Tucking them away for a while. I guess they will sleep until she does. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Drguano Posted February 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2019 Not exactly a purchase. These were a prize in one of our host’s splendid comps. I had no idea it came with a monogrammed cigar case. I am taking them back to Havana on Tuesday to return their ashes to the source. Just returned from Havana and brought back a few boxes. Hanging out with the usual suspects, I had a ten minute window of relative sobriety at Partagas and this is what I grabbed. All boxes from MSU, the Bolivar Libertador from DIC and the Qd’O from OCT. Found this waiting from FOH. Lovely cab of 50 PSP Hoyo de Monterey Epicure No. 2. Fragrant and going to nap for a while. APG JUL 18 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
