well in that case , what ever factory is, they ve done a great job

hi John, maybe you can help me ,I just got a fabulous looking box of d4s, with the code ABO, SEP 18.I am currious to know which factory may be,many thanks!

there is no general rule!I think the beauty of havana cigars is that they are unpredictable.I had experiences of CGR , I smoked the last one last week, and I can tell you that I preferred them the first year I was smoking them (back in 2010)! Don t get me wrong, there are other cigars that with age they become better and better( LGC M. d or n2 for instance or cohiba lanceros) but in my experience there is a soft spot and then slowly a fading, Trini Fundies from2000 (50cab.) one of the best box I ve ever had, I bought them in 2011, they were amazing then, around 2015 was their pick, last summer I smoked the last one,was still very nice, but in decline.

from my memory , a coro smoked in 1996-in my earky 20s!-, still remember the intense grassy and heavy aroma, very different than modern cohibas(we were in the old tobacco variety), after that I was lucky to have a reserva 2002 cohiba selection box, the robusto from that box was really out of this world

Ken, finally tasted the isla del tesoro, so....best nose of any rum I had so far, ethereal, complex really out of this world...taste , nutty ,fruity, a great clear cane sugar after taste, a little less impressive than the nose ,so overall what an amazing spirit!

i will let you know ,in a few days I am going to taste it

day 1 :(reality) the last GR Cohiba + the isla del tesoro(Ken you were one of the reasons to look for it, finally I tracked a bottle in Greece for 350e, I hope it is worth the money!haven t opened it yet) day 2(fantasy) Cubatabaco 1992 humidor or an early 90s cohiba, esplendido or an origianl behike 2006+ havana clum maximo rum(fantasy as well) forgot the wines, I will mention Greek wines for day 1 so day 1, a great Santorini white ,Kavalieros 2016, followed by a 2007 Naoussa red Elinos day 2 , (fantasy) a vintage Burgundy or a Chateau Lafite vintage as well

insane!! they should make a BHK lancero instead, idiots

11 days ago,a behike 54- with some years on it 2010 or 11 maybe-, amazingly complex, started with powerful grassy notes, turned into orange peel,tobacco leaf,and last third cocoa and florest flor with humid earth on a big bang! 97, and best cigar of the year so far

check my hometown Thessaloniki, it s greece s second biggest city, on the coastline , near by is halkidiki ,best northern greece area,feels like an island, great sea side with pine trees finishing into the blue sea.so in 1h you will enter another world

these hoyos......

fantastic! happy Xmas to both of you from far away Greece! -and good luck with the fires...

it s Greek, πολυχρωμια! ,meaning ''many colors'', in a metaphor ,rich, diverse, complex:)

indeed they were great smokes! I had a box from 07, last one was smoked a couple of months ago, the evolution was fantastic, from all the box this last one -12 years matured- hits perfection, it was a 96+ cigar

vinegar! - sour and unpleasant and this came from believe it! cohiba esplendidos from 2010 I believe, many sticks from that same box were like that
