Popular Post Thirds Posted January 19, 2020 Popular Post Posted January 19, 2020 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? 21 1

I’m glad you enjoyed the trip. 1

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. 3

Popular Post Drguano Posted January 19, 2020 Popular Post Posted January 19, 2020 2020 continues to provide some lovely boxes from our r host. Outstanding H.Upmann Connoisseur No.1 from BRE MAR 19 and a stunning box of Punch 898 REs from LMB JUL 19. Sensuous aroma... 23

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.

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 1
