Yes, I was guessing on the year she gave them to me, but I am down to only a few. She inscribed the inside of a box with a birthday note, which makes all the more sentimental...

retrofail Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Great thread! I've also wondered about these. Still don't get how they draw so well but plugged straight sticks are almost commonplace. I guess they're just underfilled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you compare with any corona (the closest size) they're much lighter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to that, it was June 2015 for 2013/14 production. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay8354 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I think I need to smoke my culebras and see how they are doing. Should be ready just in time for end of Oct (shipping, resting). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Twain Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 They're great. I think they are the most similar in the Partagas line to the old Serie do Con line, my favorites in the Partagas line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ha_banos Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Do we know anything about the blend? Someone just mentioned second hand that the tobacco is the same as used for grand reserva but not aged. Had my first last month. Which had a boxed date of April 18. So 5 months old. Was very nice if not very very strong tasting. Would have mellowed out very nicely I'd guess over the years!C'mon, who had the secrets and the truth?If anyone knows of any aged stock. Let us know!Cheers,B.Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mt1 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Awesome cigars! Great to share, excellent flavors! I've not come across a bad one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 In terms of taste, people are generally surprised on the upside. Medium bodied at best. I find them to me light to mid. Gran Reserva? ...no. more: Connie 1 "ish" but a shade lighter on the palate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ha_banos Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 So we can't trust what someone tells us the senior roller told them? Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wushy Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I find them on on the stronger side compared to the cubans I've smoked. They feel funny in the hand and underfilled, but I have yet to have bad draw issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
