Boxes Of 5 Cigars

[TJCoro]

When Years Don't Matter!

Friend of my son bought him back a box of 5 Jose L Pedra cigars at portugal airport duty free shop.
My question is should the box have a code number on it, or is the code on the bigger box that the 5 packs come in.

As others have said, not bloody likely to be counterfeits! And in all honesty, your son's friend no doubt selected them because of the low, low price!

Now, having said that, the so-called Box Date for this particular puro is of no consequence since they'll likely taste the same no matter what year you smoke 'em in.

That's what I think, anywaz!

Oh, and isn't it the Cazadores that tastes like chocolate if you run them under the tap before smoking?

Made my Monday!

yes just run under a tap for a few seconds, dont get the foot wet, you will see the water just runs off the stick, the idea is to just get the wrapper a little damp not soggy. Leave for ten minutes then smoke
i found it makes the cigar alot smoother and more chocolate flavours.

Cool, thanks Mo. I will definitely be trying this.

Have you noticed any others that benefit from this treatment Mo?

have not tried with any other sticks, If I remember rightly it was an idea originally from Min Ron Nee, I read about it on another forum, worth a try with a JLP I thought even if it went wrong no great loss. I would not want to try sticking a BHK under the tap!

If you type Cigar Wetting into Google there's a couple posts on other forums. I have never tried it but I'm sure Mo has.

Edit: he beat me to it.

Nope, never heard of that one before! So I just run it under the tap to dampen the wrapper?

Fake JLP's, what ever next LOL That's made my day. Cost a euro each in Spain, when I tried them.

Agreed that they are unlikely to be fake, IMO they are a good go to well priced smoke. Like Mo says, not much complexity but sometimes they are just the right thing.

[judders]

I doubt they would be fakes, they're pretty cheap so not much profit to be made by faking a cheap cigar.

I have some and think they're really good for the price. I heard someone describe them as cheap winter smokes and I think that description fits perfectly.

[cigarmo]

No one would bother faking them, there a easy smoke nothing complex.
