I haven't posted in here for quite some time and thought that it would be nice to share some vintage cigars that just came in. I like to collect and smoke as many different vitolas de salida as possib

I don’t normally post my purchases but, aside from the Nudies bundles I ordered, the Lanceros will probably be the last cigars I receive for a while. The other two are highlights from my last few orde

Guess I should be happy they made it after inspection, but I can't say I didn't cringe when I saw the knife cut on this guy. ? RAT NOV 19

Interesting how they let them through! Wonder if they have bigger fish to fry now

I'd say you got by pretty good, although, not unscathed? 

Same thing happened for a couple packages of Dominican cigars I got shipped from a small store in the DR, luckily never had any Cubans checked and slashed en route.

This is the first time I am seeing that they only cut one stick and not the whole box.   Could certainly be worse! I hope they didn't cut the whole bottom row and leave one on the top like that to get your hopes up?

I do honestly think it was an accidental cut - you can see the slash from the outside of the wrapping... so, signs lead to it being unintentional. 
Bottom row is clean. ?

5er from @Habana Mike arrived today. I surprised to see rare HdM Le Hoyo Du Prince, which I've never seen on 24:24.

The Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo du Prince was discontinued in 2017. The last time it was offered on 24:24 was at the end of January 2017. I know this because I was with my wife buying a car for her and I was not in time to get a box. They were a 'hot' cigar in 2016 and 24:24 listings of them never lasted long before selling out.

Luckily for me, they were available from other vendors for a time afterwards (interestingly, the H.Upmann Petit Corona was available longer). I will post a review of this cigar in the daily smoking thread in a few weeks for you to get some notes. ?

Thanks JohnS! Never thought about reviewing rare CCs. It'll be my first discontinued CC review for sure! ?
