Yes, one would think that 4 of 5 years is a long time to wait to 'crack open' a box (and it is), but I had the first cigar from two different boxes aged almost 10 years this week and I was elated I did (the boxes were in my OLH for awhile, hence explaining their age). Patience is a virtue! I have almost 5 boxes of H.Upmann Connie No. 1 (vintage 2011) and I have seen the light on what age can do to a cigar. From a good cigar to a great cigar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Partagas was bought from an individual in a group that I've traded with in the past. This is actually the second Cuba exclusivo he's sent me. I have no idea what it is.

brainninja Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hate to break it to you, but there has been no Partagas ER Cuba, or Partagas ER ever. The 10 Global and Niche brands are excluded from the Regional series. You may want to check the authenticity of where those cigars are coming from. Not trying to be a ****, but that is a glaring fake, or someone put an ER band on a Lusi to try and get much more money for it. Either way, no Partagas ERs out there......I just went through the full regional list and saw that. Definitely going to reach out and see where that one came from. Greatly appreciated.Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post encephalization Posted July 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2019 A very "pressed" box of RASSs came in yesterday. The box is packed to the brim with tobacco I guess.

Well, I was thinking of laying these down for at least 6 months before trying them, but it seems I really do have to crack open a box soon, specially while they're still available. BTW, my boxes are MSU SET 18, and they do look and smell great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree John, 4-5 years without testing one from a box of 25 just doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t mind resting boxes but how will you ever know where they are at? Heck they could be flat 5 plus years Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lotusguy Posted July 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2019 The ERDM Kon Tiki box split has landed. Gorgeous box and cigars (they better be at this price...). Will be shipping out to the participants tomorrow. Very likely I will split a second box after I’m back from my business trip next week. Never seen a double wide wooden block on the bottom layer like this before but then usually 50 cabs have a bundle tied in a ribbon and not 4 layers separated by cedar sheets. 23 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
