Interesting, maybe in mass production people get the rare wonky ones. Weird cause the last ones I got in Sep/Oct '23 fit perfectly. Who knows though, maybe they changed them. Curious to see if anyone else has ordered more recently and can say if there's any size change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a collection for a guy a few weeks back and these were included. I’d never heard of them before but didn’t even give it a second thought when I was told a price. I’m assuming these originally came with an outer box, he mentioned that he never kept any because he never planned on selling so didn’t have the need for them. Anyways, based on the dates of everything else I purchased from him, his recollection of details and what I can find online I think these are most certainly from the 2010 release. I’ll never know the exact date or factory but I plan to convert them all to ash so none of that really matters I guess. Anyways, long way around to say I got some cool smokes and I’m gonna smoke em 😎 I guess they must have come in a cardboard box. OGA JUN11 is the code I have listed for my boxes.

I should probably break into my last box and find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would be your favorite or most sought out for box codes out of the 2 here? Both Sancti Spiritis region. RAP (Zara) or BAO (Jatibonico) I have a summer ‘22 box of Monte 2’s with BAO and they are top of the pops. Would happily go back in and take my chances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the main LCDH in varadero? How is the place and the stock? Prices the same as on the Jan 23 price list in Cuban forum? Some awesome pick ups there!

Popular Post RoryWoodworth Posted February 25 Popular Post Share Posted February 25 It was the LCDH at 38 Avenida playa. The furthest one from the resort side. Prices seemed to be a few dollars above the listed prices. But I looked passed that since this was the only LCDH in Varadero with any stock at all. The other two had Cohiba and Trindad only. Was still fairly limited but every box I asked for that they had, when they brought it from out back it was a 2018/2016 box. I assume this isn't a normal thing lol. Got another one today. I have to either refrain myself or remortgage my house. Decisions, decisions... 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a daft question, but when you ask for a box of something and they come out with a box with an extra 4 / 5 years on it, are they charging you accordingly? Guessing they will ask more, for a like-for-like box with 2/3 years on it over a 2023 box for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicalBikeRide Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 They could charge more, but I wouldn’t expect it to happen in all scenarios. Especially when buying in Cuba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As petty as it sounds I won’t buy them because of things related to topics to be avoided on forums and I’ll leave that at that. I’m low on HUHC and need a restock soon. 😂 Oh, and congrats…if I ignore the box the smokes look great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
