99call Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Love tronquito's, and have seen many in various sizes, but pretty much always round with varying size, never anything like this. 13 inches tall.......very odd. I wonder what on earth went into this cool, incredibly rare, shoulder bag tronquito? 25 x Sancho Sancho maybe? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowsmoke Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 where on earth do you find this stuff?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Awesome thing! Is it solid wood or a porcelain effort? Maybe DCs/Churchiy with a bit of cedar bulking that's got waylaid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99call Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 As far as I am aware tronquitos are made with a cedar core. Then a compound similar to wood filler/two part resin is added to the outside, and then sculpted with a texturing tool. The most difficult part must be finishing the join, as the filler would naturally want to fracture and crack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a significant meaning or were they just short on packaging ideas back then? I have no idea. But on the last part of your comment, I would argue the exact opposite. Take another look at how individual, crafted and inspired the tronquitos are, then think about how bland and souless today's offering are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just trying to understand what a tree trunk has to do with cigars. Just seems kind of random to me. I will definitely agree with you on that. Maybe there is something in MRN's book about how they came to pass. I personally have no idea about when they first came about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedar is a tree. Cigars are normally accompanied by cedar...so... The tree trunk represents the expansion of the universe. Or it's phallic. I'm not sure.

CaptainQuintero Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 If in doubt, always go phallic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
