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

Surprised to see you pick up a box of CoRo not from EL.

What is the current code for El Laguito?

I’ve seen lots of pics of MAR coded boxes of different Cohiba lines over the past 6+ months….compared to other non-MAR codes (EOL comes to mind)….construction might be better, but the wrapper quality on MAR codes seems to be average to below that of what other factories are using IMO. 
 

Could be off, but just an observation I’ve noticed. Perhaps one of the big pluses of buying in 2021. Hard to go wrong with the quality being pumped out across the board presently.

A quarter box of secretos from 24:24.

I have smoked a couple of these already and they were outstanding.

I would tend to agree with you on what I've seen as well.

I requested 4 boxes of MAR.

They responded "I have 1 box of UMR."

I responded, "Sold." 

I always request EL, but these days you can't always afford to be choosy.  

So YOU are the reason they are now out of Cohibas!

Are you grading wrapper quality on darker=better ?
MAR with experience uses nice smooth lighter wrappers on cohiba and on esmeralda. Light on both particularly cohiba much better IMO.

Not at all. Especially not on Cohiba. I prefer Claro/lighter wrappers on Cohiba -with a slight rosado hue to em. Always have. My comment was based on observations of both color and most significantly on wrapper sheen/oils.

RyJ Exhibicion No. 4 - OER JUN '21 

Great looking pickup from our hosts at FOH and excellent packaging as usual!  Will light one up tomorrow before a rest!

I have this same box code resting in the humidor. Be interested to hear your review.
