NaviChief Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 A good friend shared a treat last evening, picked up in Nicaragua. I thought it would be a good time for a few shots before they were enjoyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omega1 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Ok ok, I'll bite. Couple of quick shots. If I get the time I will try to set up some better ones: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 NIce collection of stogies there. I currently have 2 of the Opus X one of the best cigars on the market IMO and they are dominican, half box of Arturo Fuente 858, several cohibas and Montecristo Habana. I like those Partagas as well. Very nice with the maduro wrapper. Funny thing happened on sunday. I was at Ft lauderdale beach having lunch with my girl and a friend. this old cuban guy comes to the table ans offers cuban cigars. I ask for Romeo y Julieta Churchills and he pulls a few from the bag. 3 for $20.00 he says. Well, I know this is a $15 to $20 cigar and look at them closely. The wrappers were very inconsistent and the band was a light brown not the shiny gold leaf it should be. I tell him they are fake and he pulls out a sealed box and says oh yeah well does this look fake? Then he pulls out a box of Cohiba esplendidos with a glass top and says what about this? I remembered an article I read in Cigar Afficianado that simply said Cohiba never made a box with a glass top. 100% fake. Although I was wearing my rep pam 251, I don't think I would get equal enjoyment from a fake cigar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet that guy sells plenty of them, I would think few are as observent or knowledgable as you were in that situation. The only thing that would have stopped me is that "too good to be true" sensation. At least with watches that feeling sometimes actually holds!

jfreeman420 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 It sure is a shame living here in south florida it has become difficult to get good cuban cigars with so many fakes around. I had a Dominican Romeo y Julieta yesterday on the beach with a mojito and it just wasn't the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Stay away from the Cohibas with the glass top boxes , their nothing but sawdust , hair and donkey manure ! Cohibas where never wrapped in plastic or in glass top boxes , tell me , does the glass top box have a little bottle of water in it , if so I have friend that bought a box and they were sitting out in the sun , the top layer was 3 shades lighter than the bottom and there was some kind of sprayed in cedar cent stuck in the box , what a mess !
