He says: "I have not smoked one great havana that has come out since 2019 and I have not smoked one great havana since 2010 that wasn't aged a minimum of 5 years". I'm sorry but this guy is obnoxious and definitely full of crap. Unless of course he's smoked only a handful of Cubans in the last 10-15 years and they were all Guants, Monte Open, or machine made 😁. Not to mention his theory about EMS aging is insane.

Anyone know how stock is in Bologna/Modena and surrounding areas? Are regionals pretty hard to come by (i.e. buying a full box)?

Well with the price hikes the last few years, my rotation has definitely changed. I've actually cut back on smoking quite a bit. When medium/large format current production sticks were $10-$15, I'd often smoke the core robustos (PSD4, RASS, Epicure No.2, ERDM CS, BRC, etc) as well as larger format like Lusitanias/BCG/RyJ Churchill. Now I'm mostly going for Party Shorts, Boli Petit Corona, Monte 3-5, and RASCC. Kinda sad, but I'm still sitting on quite a few boxes accumulated from 2014-2019....just smoke them more sparingly as $500+ a box for basic robusto just isn't worth it to me anymore.

Man these price increases are relentless....at least we had it good for so many years. Just wish I didn't it for granted.

Looks like real box was used and they refilled it. Band placement looks too low, the feet look very inconsistent, and wrapper quality off. Reason why it’s priced low…to get a sucker to think he’s getting a good deal.

Pretty soon they’ll add Hamas as a distinguished member. Bunch of animals. World is heading into a very dark place is all I have to say.

Oppenheimer one of the best films I’ve seen in 10 years. Masterpiece.

$4,500 for a box....that is utterly ridiculous.

Has anybody been to the Masaryk or Loreto location recently? Wondering how inventory looks and if it's even worth checking out.

I was studying in France when the 1966 LE was released. The 33-35 euros was a splurge at the time. Fantastic stick, but I'm likely never going to be able to smoke another one at today's prices.

Oh man I miss the good ole days when Cohiba LE were 30-40 euros.

Probably would go straight into a corn cob pipe 😂

Hoyo Rio Seco

PSD4

So ones that we order today, since they were technically released more than a month ago, does that count as 1 month's rest? 😄
