El Presidente Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Sitting in the humidor, laptop and camera at the ready to answer any requests, questions you may have. You can post on this thread or LIVECHAT questions with Lisa who will work with me.
El Presidente Posted December 9, 2009 Author Posted December 9, 2009 In reply to Bunny's question yesterday on the Romeo y Juliet Belicoso. For what it is worth I am not a fan of it but I went through my stock and found one exceptional box. MPC NOV 04 Andrew you have first right of refusal just let Lise know.
El Presidente Posted December 9, 2009 Author Posted December 9, 2009 In relation to the question on the current HDM E2's. They reallly have been a star of 08 but recent shipments have been a tad patchy in construction. Have found this morning a couple of good HQ boxes. Beautiful rich aroma.
ChanceSchmerr Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 How about a possible self-incriminating question to tip off? Prez, your HQ and PSP choices highlight the great job you guys do in picking excellent stock and ensuring that your customers get the best quality smokes possible....But what happens to boxes that you inspect and really aren't impressed with? Like, if you open a box and your first impression is "Gee, these are shyte!" do you put them away for a few years to see if they improve so you can sell them? Do you send them back to your supplier? Do you just shrug and send them to Ken? Just something I've been wondering. I've been impressed with the stock I've received from Czar so far, and from the sounds of it, everyone else is too....but I figure you must get at least SOME dud boxes from your supplier.....
ChanceSchmerr Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Ok self-incriminating is the wrong word. Incriminating? Really long day in the dockyard today.....

Keep in mind we are wholesale distributors for the state of Queensland. lets go back one step. Quality is a bell curve currently skewed to the right (which is good). About 30% of cigars fall into that below private client standard. if they are the mass market cigars (Cohiba Robusto, D4, M2. M4 etc) they go to the wholesale market (pubs, clubs, bottleshops). If they are say LGC MO2 or Winstons and they are crap or not to our minimum standard they get sent back.

That makes sense....and I forgot that you distribute to your State, and not just act as a store in your own right. Thanks for the insight, Prez!
Evo03 Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Hey Rob. This may have been asked yesterday, but how are the current Connie #3? Any 08's in stock? Thanks
El Presidente Posted December 9, 2009 Author Posted December 9, 2009 Hey Rob. This may have been asked yesterday, but how are the current Connie #3? Any 08's in stock?Thanks Check yesterday's"Live from the humidor" thread. TEB NOV 07 and excellent. No 08's as yet.
Fuzz Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Check yesterday's"Live from the humidor" thread. TEB NOV 07 and excellent. No 08's as yet. According to Lisa, the TEB NOV 07 box is GONE! I tried to get that one myself but was too late!!
anacostiakat Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 According to Lisa, the TEB NOV 07 box is GONE! I tried to get that one myself but was too late!! So all you had was one box? I smell a rat.
Fuzz Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 So all you had was one box? I smell a rat. Rob probably took all the boxes for himself after seeing the deletions list.
asmith Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Hi Rob how's things in the Humidor today? Am just working on that PSP video.... "and it comes with a cap, that caps the best part"
El Presidente Posted December 9, 2009 Author Posted December 9, 2009 Rob probably took all the boxes for himself after seeing the deletions list. Found you a box you whinging bastard TEB NOV 07. I have given it to Lise to hold for you.
SnakeHips Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 How do the Romeo y Julieta Exhibiciones No. 3 look? This is fun!
anacostiakat Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Found you a box you whinging bastard TEB NOV 07. I have given it to Lise to hold for you. Fuzz, where is my taste brother?
El Presidente Posted December 9, 2009 Author Posted December 9, 2009 How do the Romeo y Julieta Exhibiciones No. 3 look? This is fun! Well below par currently. I have put them on my list to inspect at the warehouse next Tuesday and will see if I can locate some gems.
SnakeHips Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Well below par currently. I have put them on my list to inspect at the warehouse next Tuesday and will see if I can locate some gems. Thank you sir, for the info and for checking on Tuesday Any sexy H. Upmann No. 2s or Vegas Robaina Unicos in there?
Fuzz Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Found you a box you whinging bastard TEB NOV 07. I have given it to Lise to hold for you. Damn, my wallet is telling me I should have kept my mouth shut. How good is that box? Is it HQ?
El Presidente Posted December 9, 2009 Author Posted December 9, 2009 Damn, my wallet is telling me I should have kept my mouth shut. How good is that box? Is it HQ? It is HQ. I didn't go through all the boxes of Connie 3 yesterday as I was just answering a question. Lise was right in that we had sold the box pictured but I went through a few more this morning.
BigGuns Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 How about a couple of pov pics of the humidor? I'd be interested to see what you're surrounded by. Thanks!
mkz Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 How about a couple of pov pics of the humidor? I'd be interested to see what you're surrounded by.Thanks! I´ll second that! And can you please have the FOH-cap on?!
Fuzz Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 I´ll second that! And can you please have the FOH-cap on?! Yeah, what about those FOH caps? Are they still available?
El Presidente Posted December 10, 2009 Author Posted December 10, 2009 Any nice Monte 4 ? Dip 4 ? Monte Esp. #2 ? I have been looking for you I will have to leave the Monte Especialles No 2 and the Dip 4 until I get to the warehouse Tuesday. Nothing here in the Czar humidor passes muster. I found a spectactular looking box of Monte Especiales No 2 but a tad underfilled. What I have set aside is the fllowing. Just Liase with Lise if anything takes you fancy. Montecristo No 4 REB OCT 08 Bolivar Corona Junior TEB Jul 07 Montecristo Number 5 USE DIC 08 Partagas Shorts SOA Jul 08
