I haven't posted in here for quite some time and thought that it would be nice to share some vintage cigars that just came in. I like to collect and smoke as many different vitolas de salida as possib

I don’t normally post my purchases but, aside from the Nudies bundles I ordered, the Lanceros will probably be the last cigars I receive for a while. The other two are highlights from my last few orde

First trip to the mother land and it was just awesome.  Didn’t leave disappointed but left plenty of reasons to go back. 
This hobby has me sick in the head.  I zoomed in on a picture of a humidor of one of the LCDHs there from a google review 30 days ago. Saw 3 boxes of VR DA hiding behind some other boxes.  Went there immediately thinking I was gonna pull off the heist of the century and I’ll be damned if that was the only store shut down because it’s currently being fumigated.  I zoomed in on a picture doing recon for possible cigar purchases...what is wrong with me?

Nice haul!  I heard you met an old friend of mine down there.  I’ll be seeing him tomorrow.

Tell him I said hello.  The man knows his way around Havana.  Got 25 of something special in route from the man himself. 

Your name came up when he mentioned the El Laguito tour...small world.

I will.

Yes, small world in general.  The cigar world, even more so.

I’m glad you enjoyed the trip.

Thank you.  My favorite part was when our driver was given the shake down by the officers patrolling the highway check points.  They motioned for him to pull over and then told him they wanted to siphon his gas...he came back to the car laughing because he has a diesel engine.  Cuba.

I have only had 5 of em before buying this box, a 5er I scored from a friend a year ago. I liked them very much. They are of a similar flavor profile to the Unicos but just a tiny bit lighter. Like if the Unicos is med-full, these are about a medium. Coffee, cocoa, a nice balanced spice, some toffee/caramel-type sweetness. Gonna give these a good 2-3 month rest, then spark up! 

They do have a fairly loose draw for a Cuban, so I use a shallow V or a punch to cut them. A straight cut is just a little too open of a draw for these IMO.  And I've always been a Unicos fan, but I don't always have the time for an hour and a half (or more) cigar. And I'm a big time Robusto fan, so these are perfect fit for me. Basically a smaller, slightly more mellow Unicos. Would LOVE to see VR come out with a PC!

A friend is going to Cuba at the end of the month, so I'm going to have him grab me another box to put away while I smoke on these '15s. CHEERS

They did make a regional PC, which are still available and not too insane yet in price.

With thanks to our host!

Thanks for the response.  It might just be my green nose, but I like the smell when I open the box of the diplo more than the monte’s.  But I agree, kinda hard for me to turn down some of the more rare marcas

Dip for me. I'm not a fan of the Montecristo flavor profile.

I like them both but reach for the Monte 2 most often...possibly due to scarcity of the Dip 2.....but also for the flavors I think.
