Unfortunately only have one Edmundo Dante Conde 109 left to enjoy. Been very curious about those. How are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A year ago or so I also cracked open a box of Partagas Seleccion Privada 2014 LE and have gone through five or 6 of them and then I found out how much they were going for on Bond Roberts (i.e. a lot!). I guess I smoke for personal pleasure and the price of cigars gets lost on me, especially with the passage of time! I bought this box of 2016 LE Trinidad Topes in 2017 and stored them away for awhile. I think the price may have been around $US300 at the time, if I'm not mistaken. The Australian price (or my price) was something like $AU500 to $AU550. It was 'a bit' at the time, but I believe I spent something similar on a 10-count box of Cohiba Robustos Supremos a year earlier and you wouldn't believe what those 58 ring-gauge behemoths go for these days! I smoked the first one from the box yesterday and it's ruminating in my thoughts currently, prior to committing those thoughts to writing (a review). The question that is commonly asked is, "how do they compare to the 2019 regular production Trinidad Topes?". There's similarities and differences, with the latter being more striking because after five years there's a big change in body and strength. It's a bit like comparing brothers that are from the same family...you know, there's similar DNA but age difference means one's personal characteristics are very different! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you @JohnS. I don’t have deep pockets where money is no object, but if I desire a box I’ll spend the coin. After that I don’t think about the cost paid. For me it’s about the collecting and the enjoyment of a fine Habanos. It’s also preparing for the retirement years when I’ll buy less frequent due to far less disposable income, but can still enjoy my fine smoke! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kaptain Karl Posted November 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2021 Speaking of Punch 8-9-8, just got in this gorgeous box of LTO MAY 21 898’s. A little lighter wrappers than my 2019 boxes, but an amazing aroma. I’m guessing these will be ready to smoke quicker than my ‘19 box was! 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's another box I picked up around 4 years ago from another Australian member for around $AU750 at the time, if I recall correctly. I waited until it hit the ten-year mark to try the first one (as you do). So, yes...it was a bit at the time, but with current exchange rates of $US564, €EUR486 and £GBP410 for stock deleted in 2012 it doesn't seem such a bad deal! 👍 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cigars like this are sort of priceless in a way. I think there are very few cigars that are in that Le Hoyo du Series, Partagas connie series that would be classified in a sort of gourmet separate bracket, but the Molino's are definitely one I look forward to reading your review. Molino's I believe are the only cigar i've enjoyed that possess such a floral marzipan note (in the 2nd 3rd) that it almost tips over into a pear drop, chemical ester (in a nice way). Can't get enough of that Love them, if the ones (I had easy access to) weren't 2001 stock, I would hoover them up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
