?7.50 in the airport duty free. Shame I'm on internal flights. Bizzare because the Mount Gay is ?17, that is usually cheaper than HC as Havana Club is the better rum by far.

[cohibaIV]

Nice selection...:D;)

[cohibaIV]

Today in the post arrived:D:-

10 HOYO DE MONTERREY: EPICURE ESPECIAL

Epicure Especial is a Habano of excellent size (50 x 141), in line with the preferences of today?s smokers. This Habano presents a characteristic softness and intense flavor, and soon turned into a class of its own after its presentation in 2004 as a Limited Edition.

Habanos lovers will recognize this new product not only for its size, but for its second ring along with the Hoyo de Monterrey ring. Its tube presentation will be also different. The top range tube of the brand will be launched this year together with the rest of the brand?s tubes.
Epicure Especial is the flagship of the Epicure Line, which includes the Epicure No.1 and No.2 with the same characteristics that have made these sizes the leading products of the brand. The communication codes will also be common, since they will all have the same second ring with the name of each commercial size printed on it.

And 5 COHIBA: EXQUISITOS

It doesn?t have the advantage of large shapes, but this made of this Havana the ideal cigar for short breaks.
Many connoisseurs have always some SEAONE in their office humidors. In a congress or in a Forum, between two meetings, you can have a short break in ? the smoking area ?;).

184:D

[smokiejoe]

They look nice mate,nice size,i like those hoyo,s, just what the doc ordered.:D

[SmokinCohibas]

SAN JUAN y MARTINEZ, Cuba -- Alejandro Gonz?lez spends his days touting
the intricate craft of tobacco growing to tourists here on the western
reaches of the island that produces the world's premier cigars.

But when Hurricane Ike blew through Cuba eight days after Hurricane
Gustav's pass, Gonzalez, 35, a tobacco engineer/plantation guide at the
Hoyo de Monterrey cooperative, joined an intense effort to move delicate
tobacco leaves from their drying barns to stronger buildings in hopes of
shielding them from the storm's fury.

Even so, more than half the crop was lost, Gonz?lez says. More than
3,000 tobacco leaf drying sheds and 8,600 homes for tobacco workers in
the region, which lies about 112 miles southwest of Havana, also were
destroyed.

''It was very, very bad,'' he said in halting English.

According to the daily newspaper Granma, Gustav alone destroyed 3,414
curing barns and damaged another 1,590. In a blow to one of Cuba's top
exports, more than 800 tons of tobacco products were damaged by Gustav.

The hardest hit city was Consolaci?n del Sur, where 1,836 of the
existing 1,857 curing barns were destroyed.

The Cuban government estimates losses from the two storms at $5 billion.
As the island struggles to rebuild, one of the few crops that can earn
the hard currency it needs to bounce back has sustained damages that
experts say could linger for years to come. Cuba made $402 million from
tobacco in 2007.

It is possible that the scarcity of Cuban tobacco will pump up prices.

Not counting the United States, Cuban cigars account for 80 percent of
the world market. Cohiba, Robaina, Quintero, Partagas and Romeo y
Julieta brands, among others, are all hand-rolled from premium tobacco
in a process that has changed little over hundreds of years. Besides
being widely hailed as the world's best, the Cuban cigars have taken on
an extra mystique in the United States, where the long-standing trade
embargo makes them forbidden fruit.

Like much of the rest of the island, tobacco production in western Cuba
is in a time warp, with locals riding horse-drawn wagons that vie with
oxen and ancient Buicks on the highway. A drive along the main highway
these days shows countless roofless barns and debris tossed about the
rolling terrain.

Rice, coffee, yuca and other crops also were damaged in the double storms.

But cigar-making is a point of national pride for the ailing communist
nation, which has few bragging rights after five decades of economic
hardship under the Castro regime.

''This is the best tobacco in the world,'' said Gonz?lez, a reed-thin
Creole descendant who studied agronomy for eight years and foreign
languages for another four.

He grows theatrical as he describes the painstaking work of tending the
seedlings, nurturing the young plants and curing the leaves in a
many-faceted process more akin to winemaking than growing a typical
field crop.

It starts with the land and the climate: The rustic rolling hills of
Vuelta Abajo, as the area is known, have ideal soil for tobacco, and the
region's humid weather provides the best growing conditions.

Tobacco is planted in the fall, beginning in October, and harvested in
the spring, around March. Some plants, cultivated for filler, are grown
in the full sun, for flavor and aroma, while those that will be used for
the cigars' outer wrapping are nurtured under cotton cloth to keep them
tender and moist.

Oxen are still used to work the fields, in part because they don't
compress the dirt as heavy machinery would. Women do most of the
handling of the plants, on the notion that softer hands are better
suited for the delicate process.

The leaves are hand-harvested over many days. After the leaves are
picked, they are sewn onto Eucalyptus sticks, which provide some
flavoring. They are then dried for two months in a special barn.

Many of those barns are now gone.

Carpenters from other provinces, the Cuban papers said, are being
organized into brigades to rebuild the barns in the worst-affected
areas. Still, government papers say the losses could have been worse: In
2002, Hurricanes Isidore and Lili claimed 11,000 curing barns.

''Each one of those barns has 400 to 500 quintales. A quintal is 100
pounds,'' said Ram?n Seraf?n, who lives in Hialeah but owns a cigar shop
in Tampa.

``How many of those did they lose? They probably had reserves in the
factory, but what are they going to do when the reserves run out? That's
when they'll see a shortage.''

When the leaves finally get to the cigar factories, such as the Fabrica
de Tobacos Francisco Donatien, in the center of Pinar del R?o, the
provincial capital of the tobacco-growing region, the leaves are
painstakingly crafted into stogies. They are hand-rolled, with each
worker expected to produce 110 cigars a day.

While Cuban cigars are widely regarded as the best, shoppers who try to
buy them on the cheap through informal channels may end up getting
ripped off. ''They are banana leaf,'' warns Gonz?lez, who disdains the
fakes because they undercut the image of the industry ''and it's bad for
Cuba.'' The real Cubans are usually sold in cedar boxes with government
stamps.

Gonz?lez claims he can spot a fake at a distance. On a recent afternoon,
inside a drying barn, he twirled a Cohiba in his fingers and held it to
his ear, listening for the crinkling sound that goes with a good cigar.

The name of the reporter who filed this dispatch from Cuba is being
withheld because the reporter lacks the journalist's visa required by
the Cuban government to report from the island.

Additional reporting was done by Miami Herald staff writer Frances Robles in Miami.

[Wildwood]

Seconded...Cuba's not a rich country, and obviously cigars are big foreign export earners for them...if the crops are flattened, it will no doubt make a relatively poor country even worse off...:(

<cite class="auth">Reuters - Wednesday, September 24 09:07 pm</cite>

HAVANA (Reuters) - Hurricanes Gustav and Ike destroyed up to 2 million pounds of Cuba's best tobacco, but reserves of the leaf should cover demand for the island's premium cigars for the next year, a tobacco executive said on Wednesday.

The storms, which struck within 10 days of each other, caused major damage to the tobacco industry infrastructure, which will require a significant investment to repair, said Manuel Garcia, vice president of cigar producer Habanos S.A.

"We think that for at least the next year we should not have great difficulties with the supply of cigars because luckily for us, we have a reserve of raw material," he said at a Havana business conference.
"Undoubtedly we are going to need an important financial injection for the tobacco (industry)," he said.

Habanos, a joint venture between the Cuban government and Altadis, a unit of British-based Imperial Tobacco, produces and sells some of the world's best-known cigars, including Monte Cristo, Cohiba, Romeo y Julieta and Partagas.

It reported sales of $402 million (218 million pounds) in 2007, up from $375 million in 2006.

The Cuban government said the two storms destroyed 3,414 barns where the harvested tobacco was being cured and damaged another 1,590 when they ripped through the western province of Pinar del Rio, where Cuba's top tobacco is grown.

Between 1.6 million and 2 million pounds of tobacco were estimated to have been destroyed.

Garcia said the cost of replacing or repairing buildings was being determined and that longer-term effects on tobacco supply would depend on the speed of rebuilding.

[Wildwood]

Interesting...I've just read on the Cigar Aficianado website that they said there wasn't much crop either in the barns or in the fields...I suppose actually that ?2m of crop isn't that much?

Wildwood

[Montesmoke]

even tho it sounds alot ?2m damage will only put a small dent in the cuban tobacco crop.

Habanos Says Cuban Cigar Production Unaffected By Storms


Posted: Thursday, September 25, 2008

By David Savona

While back-to-back hurricanes wreaked havoc on Cuba's tobacco lands this month, causing billions of dollars worth of damage to the island, Habanos S.A. says that Cuban cigar production will be able to meet 2009 demand.

"We think that for at least the next year we should not have great difficulties with the supply of cigars because luckily for us, we have a reserve of raw material," said Habanos vice president Manuel Garcia, quoted in a September 24 article by Reuters.

Hurricanes Ike and Gustav, which struck within days of each other, destroyed or damaged a combined 5,000 curing barns and affected finished cigar tobacco, although sources in Cuba say that wrapper tobacco was not damaged. No crops were in the fields or in the curing barns at the time.

Garcia, according to Reuters, did say that the Cuban cigar industry would need an injection of cash to help in the rebuilding efforts.

Habanos is the worldwide distributor of Cuban cigars, and is 50 percent owned by Britain's Imperial Tobacco PLC.

Very nice looking humi full lovely stogies, senor CJ. :41:

:cowboyic9:I think it's interesting how those who have access to fine Habanas lust for N/Cs and those who don't will do almost anything to get their hands on a Cuban puro.:849:

I'm courious to see what demand for Habanas will be in the U.S.:usa2: once the embargo is lifted. I project a quick spike in demand before settling down to what is most likely its current demand.

But WTF do I know, I'm just a simple hombre from the SoM, MX.

TJ :bandit:

[cj121]

Gracias TJ

I guess a contributory factor this side of the pond (and I don't speak for anyone else obviously) is the cost of Cuban puros. Experimenting with NCs may yield that stick that gets the same taste-experience as a Cuban, without, lets face it the semi-extortionate price we guys have to pay over here. One train of thought? I know in the limited experience I have in terms of sticks generally, I'm looking out for that particular je ne sais quoi. Ooh there's another thought: Any more of those and I might end up having an opinion:confused:...danger, danger:smile:

It will be interesting in terms of the US/Cuba situation, hopefully more beneficial for the Cuban population as things open up a smidge.

[cohibaIV]

I read in CA that Americans smoke 300 million cigars per year, and Cuba sell around 150 million cigars to the rest of the world....

The maths don't look good....:confused:

[cj121]

Looks ok for us in the rest of the world though eh Dale:biggrin1:

Good point about the price, CJ, and there are some very good N/Cs available at reasonable prices, if you can find a vendor that will ship to the UK. :(

:noidea:BTW, did you ever contact www.Famous-smokes.com (http://www.Famous-smokes.com)? :dontknow: I may have provided the wrong link before.

Names TJ, TJCoro, and pricing has a lot to do with the over all value/rating of a fine stogie...except for the Gurkas :eviltongue:*

Hi TJ, no I didn't but will. I think the last link was someone else.

A sweet little delivery of 5 Petit Edmundos from Deano (plus a bonus stick, thank you very much:hail:) A week in the humi and off we go.
Two of the Petits and the Cohby took hits off the posties, but will patch up. The rough handling buggers. Hope they don't hold their dicks like that ; )
Thanks again Deano.

[cj121]

Ya lucky bugger Stevie. Great catch, great selection, great price and great mate. Congrats! All looking very nice there.:41:

Cheers dude. I know it's kinda smug to show off like this but I'm chuffed to bits. He's a generous lad at the best of times and he asked how much I wanted to spend then he put together a mystery sampler. Imagine how pleased I was today when the parcel arrived :smoke:

[cohibaIV]

Very, Very, Very nice.....:rock:

You must work for Robinsons your that Jammy.....:cool:

PARTAGAS SERIE D NO.4 box of 10

H.UPMANN MAGNUM 46 TUBOS pack of 3

205

EL SANTOR FIGURADO x 2

206
LOL, I know the feeling.

[Robusto]

Same feeling here. I have to downplay the stogie purchases a bit. The bead tampon thing was discovered when I was deep-sniffing my humi for a fix the other day. She spotted it and gave it a questioning squeeze. Still, she does go out and buy 'bargain' clothes and 'special offer' shoes and get her hair done and shit. I call that a draw, really. I'm going to have to make a cunning plan to order the bigger humidor soon. How to get it un-noticed into the house?... :biggrin1:

[Stogiedog]

Received on Monday a lovely selection of 10 x D4, 5 x Cohiba Siglo IV and 3 x Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robustos boy those little sticks look good any one had a go at these? I would be interested to hear your comments, all placed in the coolidor for some aging before getting stuck in!

:41:

[Stevieboy]

My comments on all three are: excellent, excellent and excellent :p All three of those are top-shelf smokes for me esp. the Siglo IV. Nice one

[Stogiedog]

Thanks Stevieboy, just letting them rest for a few weeks first, looking forward to the Siglos!!

:cowboyic9::41:

[cohibaIV]

What can I say.....Siglo IV Hmmmmm! My Fav...:41:

The others too are really good smokes IMHO..:biggrin1:

[Robusto]

I've never had a Siglo IV. I love the Siglo VI.
Are they very different?

[Stevieboy]

You must work for Robinsons your that Jammy.....:cool:

Boom boom!!

[Stevieboy]

I've never had a Siglo IV. I love the Siglo VI.
Are they very different?
I think there is a fair bit of difference between them. The IV seems to be a more concentrated smoke. Much like how the Monte PE and the edmundo are (IMO).
The only Siglo I've not tried is the III

:41:Senor Stevieboy, nice haul.

I'm courious to learn what you think of the Robaina Clasico and the Bolivar Gold medal, the later of which can be a bit plugged sometimes. I hope you own a draw poker, dude. :cowboyic9:

:bandit:Names TJ, TJCoro, and I love these penatelas.:eyebrows:

[Stevieboy]

I was so chuffed with the last sampler my mate sent that I asked for another. He was almost out of singles so I got this wee batch for....?55 :rock::rock::rock:
The box at the top is a single Cuaba Diademas from 2002. Lucky bugger once again :)

Right-ho boys and girls. Pictures for you all...

First up, this week's delivery from Monte:

http://www.ukcigarforums.com/picture.php?albumid=37&pictureid=302

http://www.ukcigarforums.com/picture.php?albumid=37&pictureid=301

That's a Monte Edmundo, Petit Edmundo, Trini Reyes, Hoyo Petit Robusto, Cuaba Divinos, Partagas Black Classicos (which smell very interesting - completely different from any Cubans I've tasted) plus a bonus stick - an R&J petit princess.

[Olls]

Okay, now a box of R&J Short Churchills which I got a couple of weeks ago:

Gorgeous arty shots of the shorts close up on their side

Somehow I just knew you'd be interested!! Can't think why :p:p

I'll definitely let you know if I come across them again but I think they're UK only and were first available about 2 years ago so the chances are slim....I was so disappointed when Regal phoned me today :frown::frown:

Like the Trins also tho....:rock:

Dale - check it out ?95 (http://www.tomtom.co.uk/Catalogue/Product.aspx?Product=1416) for the pack!! Quite expensive! As a guide, the last place was wanting ?78 albeit they didn't have any :p:tongue:

[Olls]

Wow, loving those presentation packs. Does seem a bit excessive for three cigars, though!



A box of brand new cigars all lined up perfectly like little bars of chocloate is absolutely one of the most beautiful sights ever :p


Couldn't agree more. I would hate for all cigars to have fancy double bands but I think the Short Churchills pull it off pretty well, too. Glad you all enjoyed the pictures - macro mode can do wonderful things!

TJ - sorry I was a bit ambiguous there. I know it's a NC but was just surprised at how different it smells from the Cubans I've had. It's the only NC I've bought to date.

Not quite sticks, but I've put a few in for illustrative purposes: bought a Csonka Survivor four stick travel humi, which arrived this morning at 07.10. Posty rang the bell (so my 'don't leave parcels on the step' notice has worked)

Here goes....!!

An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Post-Revolution Havana Cigars by Min Ron NEE

10 BOLIVAR LEGENDARIOS EDICION REGIONAL,
The new release from Bolivar, available only for the Swiss market and in very limited quantities. This is a Dobles size cigar (same as the Trinidad Robusto Extra). Length: 155 mm (6 1/8"), Diameter: 19.84 mm, Ring gauge: 50. {5 are for Stevieboy :cool:}

10 MONTECRISTO SUBLIMES EDICION 2008
The Limited Edition distinguishes itself for the inclusion of sizes which are not part of the usual range of the brand, and is characterized by a special manufacture. The careful selection of a two-year aged wrapper from the upper level of the plant grants it a darker color and turns this product into something unique. Binder and filler leaves used for the making of the Limited Editions cigars have been aged for two years as well. Because of its very special features, the Limited Edition is manufactured in small quantities, which makes it a particularly appreciated pleasure for the most demanding smokers.

The Sublimes size was first presented as part of the 2004 Limited Edition in the Cohiba brand. Now, Montecristo brings it back with its characteristic blend. A Habano to remember, respectfully long, with a proper draw and ready to show forth the notably medium to full flavour of said brand.

Length: 164 mm (6 1/2")
Diameter: 21.43 mm
Ring gauge: 54

Stevieboy, i would be interested in how you rate these after you have time to try one out.I believe they are not widely available and were only released to the Swiss market.I smoked some Royal Coronas at the beginning of last year and the box was from 2006, i found them to be really nice and smooth, while still being full bodied strength wise.The Regionales look like a formidable smoke, hope you enjoy them.

Dave, those Reyes look spot on.

[Mr Moore]

What do you mean Dave " freebies"???
Why, Because of date ???

[daverave999]

Freebies, because I didn't pay for them. :D
There were 3 La Flor de Cano and an extra RASCC that were extra to what I ordered and was charged for. I didn't put pictures of all of them up. No particular reason for that. ;)

[Mr Moore]

Yes but why Dave, thats what I meant to say, do you think it was a mistake on there behalf.
Result whatever !

Ah right. Well they chucked in a Flor de Cano last time so god knows tbh!

[cj121]

Nice result regardless eh Dave. Not tried the Reyes yet, had a few Coloniales, which I thought a bit 'sharp'. Has anyone compared the two?

Never tried a Coloniales but would love to as all the Trinidads I've tried have been excellent. The Reyes and the Robustos extra are outstanding :cowboyic9:

[Stevieboy]

Yes but why Dave, thats what I meant to say, do you think it was a mistake on there behalf.
Result whatever !
I'm wondering why as well Dave. I've ordered from them 4 or 5 times and never had a freebie! :(

[Stevieboy]

Dave - should have said- smashing looking smokes. I'm down my last 2 or 3 Reyes so need to re-stock. It's one cigar I never want to be without :p

[daverave999]

Have you ordered recently from them Steve? Might be a new thing? Maybe they watch this site and love my photos lol. Oh, and ta! I'm surprised it took me this long to buy a box tbh. It's my default when I'm at a new cigar shop and my mind goes blank!

[Alex]

Got a box of dippy no2's. stevieboy 10 are yours if you still want them just pm me.

Many, many thanks, Joe. :smoke::smoke::smoke:

[daverave999]

I assumed it was more like a compliments slip; a thank you! I am new to this game though...

[Stevieboy]

Dont mean to disappoint you any further but I've always been sent a freebie on every order

I feel so sad just now...why me Lord? Poor me :( :41:

[Stevieboy]

I received a smashing 10-deck of Dippy #2s from my good mate Alex today. Talk about bomb-proof wrapping......the cigars were in Ziploc bags...then bubble-wrapped...then placed in the Dippy box itself....which was then bubble-wrapped...which was then inside a padded Jiffy bag!!!
What a guy :hail::hail::hail::hail::hail:

Trust this lad - he's the Bollocks :smoke:

[Alex]

Nice one stevie, take it they arrived safe then ha ha.

[Stevieboy]

Nice one stevie, take it they arrived safe then ha ha.

LOL! They certainly did...I didn't even rest them in the humi and I fired one up last night. Exquisite cigar. I tasted something in there that I've never tasted in a cigar before...can't put my finger on it but I loved it . Nice one Big Guy!

[Boss Hog]

Sort of in the post, given to me today by a friend, a CAO World Sampler. Unfortunatly, he was slighty un-eduacated and also gave me a tin of cafe creme. I have since had him reprogrammed.

Nice one mate. You won't be disappointed. They're the dog's balls :-)

[Ramon]

Fresh in the post today from a couple of competitions.

The first pic is of course the Hoyo Epi Especial, Mag 50, JL Maximos ER, Boli Legendario ER and Hoyo Piramide EL '03

The second pic is a JL No.2 and an SLR DC.

Happy days :biggrin1:

[cj121]

Nice result Ramon, what were the competitions if you don't mind me asking?

[whisky77]

Very nice selection Ramon.Would be interested to see how you find the Bolivar.Have been looking at giving these a bash myself.

If you like Hoyos then the Especial is not to be missed, had a box last year;excellent.

[Ramon]

Nice result Ramon, what were the competitions if you don't mind me asking?

The first comp was to guess which brands of cigars from a pic of the bands, from the back. I got 23 out of 24 on my first attempt, one was a puzzler, then I got that later. I've attached a pic so you can see what I mean. The first 2 are an example.

The second comp was to guess what the person was smoking at that moment, and if you guessed correctly, you won that cigar.

All good fun.
