PHXCSC Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 So, I had decided to just take care of myself and drop this whole idea, but I have rec'd so many PM's from you guys either expressing interest or just saying thanks for trying to do something positive that I got a renewed sense of brotherhood. Thus, I will see this through to some kind of result. Now, I want to clarify what I mean by negotiating a good deal since apparently forum etiquette dictates that you include all of the fine print up front. To me, an example of a "good deal" is the deal that "Lotusguy" mentioned in his post. A "good deal" is not paying the huge markups that I'm sure you've seen other places. I do not wish to pay those gouging prices, so if I can get pretty close to original price then I'll be happy. To all of you guys who have pm'd me, I have you in my count, and I will be communicating with a person that I know to see what he can do for us. Once I have more info, I will pm each one of you back. To Rob and team, you guys know me and know that I hold you all in the highest regard, so if you guys feel that my activity here is in any way poor form, please let me know. If so, I will stop posting about this immediately. My relationship that I have built with you guys is the most important thing period. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mash Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 What do you mean? I just scored them for 350 euros and free shipping! Can't be. Because retailers can't do that, and retailers never do anything they shouldn't do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bartolomeo Posted December 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2015 Has anyone actually smoked one of these? If not can someone provide a link to a review anywhere? I can't find anything on them. I know they're new but just wondering if all the hype is solely based on the rep of the Selectos Finos. I had one yesterday and liked it a lot .... As a FYI I don't care for the Finos I think they are box worthy if found for a decent price, pricing is 375 euro across Italy but shipping comes into play It was not as harsh as I thought the Finos was on release, these were boxed in Sep but who knows when rolled....I liked the size better and thought it had nice flavor for such a young cigar, last third was strong....I smoked this with an open mind not letting the expectations play a role as sometimes that happens, this shows potential but I need to smoke some more.....hope this makes sense 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bwgan Posted December 17, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2015 Damn boy! Nice haul....how are they? To answer this I think a bit of back ground is needed....back in 2012 the 2011 Selectos Finos was released late and I split a boat load of boxes with others. The first I smoked was at a herf around easter I think. It was strong, very strong and I really didnt like it. Six months later it was better, six months after that even better...now, bloody lovely. Thankfully I managed to get the last box around xmas time 2012 from a shop in Turin before they disappeared completely. Fast forward to now, the shorter fatter Don Jose. The box aroma is of a powerful cigar. First third is a quite tame affair, then it gets strong but the over-riding thought throughout is a "closed" taste. Theres glimpses of a great cigar but theres a cloying bitterness on the tongue. I couldn't say on this showing it's a fantastic cigar now because it clearly isn't. So if the past is any indication of the future, this will turn into a fantastic smoke.....just keep your mitts off them 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
