IIRC, Rob said all the one's he's had rank between 90-93 so far.

I recall Ken also gave 90s to SCDH Harimau Malaya ER before like Rob, but the one he had during video review session had construction and muted flavor issues, which were the reasons why Ken rated it 89 in the video IMHO.

Please let me know when you review brand new SCDH ER. I saw that CC review on FOHtv and I surprised that it got 80s compare to Punch 898 and ERDM Tainos

Didn't do a review but the one I smoked from an earlier box was good enough that I went back to get a couple more! Cocoa, molasses are the flavors I recall. I suspect there are more nuances in the flavor which given time will show themselves. No construction issues in that first example

Thanks buddy! Good to know it still has SCDH DNA despite of its Montesco size. Maybe I should try it before it's too late 😁

Right, so one was an 89 and the rest low 90s.

Yep. Rob and Ken said it's flavorsome sweet chocolaty low 90s SCDH ER CC except the one Ken reviewed on the video. It seems to be one of the successful ERs based on FOHtv review.

From our host - a beautiful box of PCC aged Monty 2’s, and a couple more boxes of Taino RE’s....because (x) is never enough.

Big PSP mail day! Lovely fragrant sticks…H. Upmann Connoisseur A GEM DIC 20, Hoyo De Monterrey Petit Robusto EBO MAR 21 and Montecristo Petit Edmundo TUA MAY 21. Wow!

Baalbecks have arrived!  Interesting that the inner certificate shows a total count of 2400, must have been planning for boxes of 25 and shifted gears after the inner certificates were printed

Oh, and I loaded up on some more Escogidos 😁

My Cab of Baalbeck just arrived. Same boxcode. # 0149. Wondered why emblem says 1200 but insert reads 2400?

I know, it’s weird. But since the 0128 matched on mine, I don’t think it’s anything nefarious

I keep passing on Tainos when they show up on 24:24. I have 4 boxes of Punch 898 but have yet to sample. Guess I really should pull trigger next time.

I need to give both a try at some point!  Think Prez's statement when Taino's were on 24:24 is they really need like 5 years or something?  Hesitant to buy a box and store it for 5 years in case I am not a fan.

A great box from recent auction.
Team, thanks very much.

That is one reason the BR crew opened up partial box listings. There will most likely be a few that treasure a cigar you may dislike!

Nice pick up John. Will you store these outside the carton? It's always been my preference.

Definitely, yes. It's always been my preference to take them outside their cartons and store in my humidor/s.

I bought 5 of those 3 packs from 2020 (I think), took mine out of the CB right away, tried one at 90 days, it was pretty meh.  Now at about 6 months out of the box, they have been smoking great.

Came home from vacation to find this on my kitchen table.  Out of many boxes of Media Lunas that I have bought, this was the first (1st through 6th, actually) to have the EL box code.  I wasn't even aware that they were rolled there.
