Consensus seems to be GEL is provincial. They were inspected and the lids would not close. Looked closer and they are plump, firm and stuffed in the box. Big variance in wrappers but credit to the sorter at GEL. Thinking will be long haul boxes even though 2020. Just received the same box code, the lid also does not close although I inspected the cigars and they do seem well rolled. Couldn't find any that seemed obviously plugged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you completely, and it is becoming clear this is not isolated to my boxes. Taste is all that matters to me, and if I got a few extra grams per stick all the better. I won't try mine for a while so if you do please tag me if you comment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my post on this page for reference, same #1 and code. I didn’t really think about it until you mentioned it. But they were tightly packed. Trying one out now. Seems pretty good so far, especially with no humidor time 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bijan Posted February 14 Popular Post Share Posted February 14 11 hours ago, Lord Verulam said: Why is this a white whale for you if I may ask Had an absolutely excellent one last year that I received as a complimentary bodyguard for a Bond Roberts order. Wanted to get more but since they were discontinued in 2002 and only ever came in 50 cabs it was quite difficult. Very rarely on bond Roberts and the first full cab sold for $5,500 or so. Edit: also supposedly a strong cigar that ages well. My other white whale being the le Hoyo du Dauphin, discontinued 2003 but that one being milder might be past its prime in some respects. Here's some info from MRN. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pharmacovigilant Posted February 15 Popular Post Share Posted February 15 ROP ABR 21 Monte1 - look and smell great. However I’m experiencing the same aforementioned issue with the box not closing. I removed the thin foam insert placed by the vendor for protection. Not much help. No biggie, just going down for a long long nap anyway. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bishop532 Posted February 16 Popular Post Share Posted February 16 Had my box of PL Montecarlos arrive today. They look, feel, and smoke (I couldn’t wait) perfect. These are one of my top 3 - not just cheap and cheerful, but out of all cigars. Can’t wait til they get a few years on them. Habanos needs to start making more long panetelas / ninfas again. EDIT: For anyone who ordered from 24:24, these are RAT AGO 21. I think you’ll be happy. I definitely am. 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve punched five or six, and almost all of them are unacceptably tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
