I'm a fan of the sandwiches.

Not sure about the cigars, I have a RyJ Cuban of some sort that's been in my humidor for a year.  Haven't smoked it yet.

That makes my mouth water, one of the best cigars ever (with a few years aging).

Went to Cuba last year. Brought back a box of Cohibas. Gave them all away as gifts.  Fuck smoking.

I like Guatemalan or Guyanan rums but Havana club 7 is nice for a mixer every now and then.

I didn't want to say it, but yeah. Unfortunately most people on vacation do not know that the only real Cubans are in the licensed La Casa De Habano locations. There are no real Cohibas or other official habanos anywhere else in Cuba or your friend's Caribbean Cruise ports of call. In Cuba this excludes certain local rollers with solid reputations associated with particular hotels that roll real Cuban tobacco. If you aren't paying full price in a LCDH you aren't getting real habanos down there, period. Other international mail order locations not included in this discussion.

Their cigar reputation was built before la revolucion.  If they hadn't had it already, they would have turned out floor sweepings in a tube and wondered why their shit didn't sell.

“Cubans” is a broad category. Some are meh, some are spectacular. And many people think they’re over rated because they are smoking fakes. Chances are, if you think you smoked a real Cuban cigar, you’re wrong.

Doesn’t mean excellent cigars can’t be found elsewhere.

So, if a safe were full of home builds, the photo wouldn't prove they know a fucking thing about ARs, it just proves they spent a shit load of money hoarding ARs/firearms?

Please. Do enlighten us where your degree in cigarology came from since you seem to be the authority on that which is all cigars...

I don't horde. I smoke.

I'm about a daily cigar guy, give or take.  The picture shows I've smoked about everything you can possibly get.  From Cubans to Nicaraguan, to Dominican, to Honduran, to Costa Rican cigars.

Deep enough in the cigar community to have a cigar from Cariltos personal stash, sitting right on top.

I've met Steve Saka, I've met Matt Booth, Caldwell, etc. Multiple times.  Having connections, is what allows me to get above cigars, at retail or much below, retail prices.

The pic was more "yeah, I know most Cubans are fakes."

If I wanted to get real Cubans, it'd take probably 1 or 2 messages and 2-3 days shipping.  But they're not worth the headache, the inconsistent quality control, and if they're directly from Cuba, the processing of them to allow them in my humidors.

Last batch of Cubans I had, which were real, had bugs in them.  So then you have 5 days of processing them / freezing them, to get them back to being safe for your humidor.

Edit

Just in that picture, there is:
Connecticut broad leaf
Pennsylvanian leaf
Dominican leaf
Honduran leaf
Cameroon leaf
Nicaraguan leaf
Mexican leaf
Costa Rican leaf

And I'm probably missing some. And alot of the Fuente stuff is secret fillers. Mostly Dominican.

These were bought in Cuba by my GFs parents. The sticker does look copied. I guess they bought them for $50 and supposedly had a friend in country helping them out. They think they’re real, but after looking at comparative pictures, I think they’re probably fake.

I traded a new Fuente "purple rain" limited Prometheus release for a "taste of Cuba" sampler to one of the most connected cigar guys I know.

So we'll see how that works out.

Best bang for your buck, in my opinion, and if you have patience, is to age Opus X's yourself.

I buy a box of Opus once or twice a year and let them sit. After 2 years they're a completely different cigar.

My top 3 releases of 2018:

Crowned heads - buckeye land (I might be biased )

Mi Querida - Firecracker

Room 101 - The Game.

Honorable metion - Room 101 "the noodle"- possibly (likely) same blend as the game, but in a different vitola.
