Get outta here! I’m just about keeping my envy from becoming jealousy, but you’re making me work.

Anyone ever notice what's going on in the background in the Sancho Panza Lid Print?

Stole a couple from @Chibearsv (Did you see Carl Spackler knock that putt in at Pebble Beach?) playbook.  😎  

HdM Escogidos - RAT JUL '21

Cohiba Esplendidos - MAR FEB '21

Nicely done.  Those are definitely a couple of my favs.

I didn't see him make a putt butt it was pretty funny seeing him scruff up the hair of his PGA playing partner - who of course had zero chance of winning.

This took some convincing and ... Quite a bit of driving 😅. Shopping week continues.

Have no choice but all in during this cc famine

Just picked up a box of the RUP Jun 21 code myself, don't know this factory code. What do you think of your boxes?

Needed some daily drivers. My eyes must be playing tricks on me because the Epi2s look like Petit Robustos compared to the Rio Secos.

Thank you mate. I’m going to let them sit for at least 1 month then try them out. I still have my example of recent production from the Xmas sampler to have yet, which has a noticeably darker wrapper. So it shall be great to compare the differences.

From our gracious host.. I have to say again such a good job is done in packaging by the FOH logistics team.

Have some concerns with these.  Same dates and codes, GEL OCT 20.  Consensus seems to be GEL is provincial.  They were inspected and the lids would not close.  Looked closer and they are plump, firm and stuffed in the box.  Big variance in wrappers but credit to the sorter at GEL.  Thinking will be long haul boxes even though 2020.

I have a box of Partagas D4 GEL MAY 21 I got in last month. I haven't tried them. They're very nice looking cigars with beautiful and uniform wrappers! That said, a few of the bands were put on haphazardly. Two sticks in particular have loose bands. So loose that when they were jammed in the box the slack of the loose band got folded up under the cigars. 

Your boxes look nice. Probably shipped too wet it seems?

yes they seem rather full... I could't even put the 65rh Boveda in the box and close it..

It is the most likely answer.  It is a big player with whom I have a pretty good history.  I did have one no show with them, but it was handled as expected.  Came in vac w\ small 69 boveda.  Not upset per se and definitely not with them, I figure it is the nature of the beast.  Honestly I think GEL's rollers were a touch heavy.  Once they settle I will weigh some and compare to other stock.  They look and smell good for sure.

yup... pure Barnyard...  

 

probably won't touch these until May at least as they will be a year old... I will dry box for more than a few days when I do..

A replacement box from a European official vendor after the previous were returned as all under-filled. These are much better indeed with an average weight of 17.6g. Happy with the response. Anyone know the RUP factory?

Some lovely smokes from our host.

Two more Casilda Books! Both TLU SEP 20. 
These cigars are massive and loaded with Trini flavors. Love em!
