2024 Esmereldas - incredibly tasty for such a young Trini.

This E2 was top of the bill.

Don't let that dour face fool ya!

That's the same look my mom gave me when she opened my grade school report cards.

I spy HSI $1s, what appear to be Jack $5s, what's clearly a rivers house mold, and poker-sized jumbo pips...You're a PCFer, aren't you?

Absolutely 😂. Well spotted. I’m done buying for now though, not frequented for some time. I have another fairly decent set as well. The only collectibles more expensive than cigars, and I managed to find them.

You have some nice sets?

Same, I had a run of really bad luck on there in addition to constantly getting locked out. Don’t have enough time to play home games, so wrote off my losses and haven’t logged back on.

Something like that lol…

I must have spent a solid 18+ months on there, carving out a playable set(s) but haven’t really looked back since. One of the frothiest markets I’ve ever seen and basically a bottomless money pit. It’s an enjoyable chase, but the mark up on the higher end stuff is just astronomical. Once I got to a certain level I was happy, I wasn’t about to pay an extra $8 a chip because the top hats were printed the other way up. 😂

I must admit though, we all love playing with them. Could never play with dice chips again, and if I ever see dice chips in a film, I will turn it off. 😆 It would be interested to see what you’ve pieced together though.

Your first ever D4 and it was smokable? Impressive! I didn't get a smokable one until my fifth try!

First you post that almost all Cuban pyramid cigars are plugs, now it is robustos. Fairly certain that you may need to address your storage conditions. Good lord.

Storage 62% Bovedas. All sticks coming from 2022. These D4s have behaved differently than other poorly performing cigars. Fireproof wrappers being the main problem here. My tally thus far:

1. Fireproof wrapper. Wrapper wouldn't burn even with a continuously applied soft flame. Impressive stuff.
2. Fireproof wrapper....
3. Fireproof wrapper....
4. Plugged beyond the help of the PerfectDraw
5. Amazing!
6. Under-filled. Burned hot with a wide open draw. Wrapper burned fine. Flavors were just "okay"

Between attempt 5 and 6 I started sorting the cigars by weight and #6 was the lightest cigar from the box. I've got 4 more tries from this box!
