  1. What is a sublime Cuban cigar? Furthermore, what percentage of all the cigars rolled in Cuba are, or do you estimate will be 'sublime' cigars? Why do you think what you think on this subject? And most importantly, how do you find the sublime ones??? Thanks for sharing! -The Pig
  2. Where is the complexity? I am not one to drone on about old cigars. I am one to miss certain vitolas and models that have been discontinued and sharply criticize Tabacuba for these executive actions. So when we lose a cigar, do we lose something of significance? I think so. It is not that I am going to say that the cigars of past years are better, smoking so few current cigars, I am likely not a good judge of that, but getting to my point; where has the complexity gone? Each of us will use an assortment of labels to describe what he/she smokes. However, the term complexity holds a meaning not easy to deny knowing. I divide complex into three forms. Complexity as I see it, is a range of tastes that can be defined. That is as simple as a definition as I can put on it. Then there is evolution. Evolution is a subset of complexity in that the character of the cigar changes as you smoke it. It is not complexity in itself, but is a part of it. Evolution can occur even in the most monotonic cigar. It is therefore an aspect of taste and sensation that stands on its own. Then finally there is character. The character of a cigar is the organization of traits that make a cigar different and interesting to smoke. A cigar can be complex and still have little character or evolution. It is rather hard for a monotonic cigar to have a lot of character in that character is a subset of complexity. Of course a monotonic cigar could go from robust to bland and that would certainly be a characteristic, therefore adding character to the cigar, but that would not be a good characteristic, nor be reflective of good character! So with our definitions somewhat defined, where has it gone? I remember some outstanding Partagas Petit Coronas that were invitations to a party on your palate. While cigars of today remain smokable and approachable early, some with wonderful tobacco and great smoking experiences awaiting in each, I have come to miss the delightful range of flavors that I used to experience more so in the past then now in the present. Again, I am not looking for a new round of debates over yesteryears cigars verses those of today. I am just wondering if any of you have noted similar experiences. Cheers, and thanks for reading. -The Pig
