So just been inspired by Alex''s comment on my Top cigars of 2020 post to run the first Comp' of 2021. I have over the last 24yrs of smoking Havana's, tried to sample as many different vitola's as possible, it became a goal to try all the vitola's of the regular Habanos lines. Well I have more or less achieved that, except for a couple of the minor brands that I just don't enjoy at all.
However, as I went along, Habanos started to produce now & more new vitolas. A few to become new regular production (like the Hoyo PR) but others one offs, EL & ER. The list these days is endless.
So like the how many bands in a jar type comp this one is easy, how many different vitola's have I smoked until today 19th Jan?
To give you a ball park figure to shoot at, it's between 300 & 500.
The nearest to the target will get a special gift, to be posted 10th Feb from Aberdeen. To make it fair I will pm Deano with the number so it can't change to favour anyone.
Full disclosure: I have counted a few twice, e.g. those that appear in the Seleccion boxes of Piramides & robustos, anniversay X. I do make a separate entry for clearly different smokes, i.e. a 1960's PC is going to be totally different to a modern fresh example but I have removed those from the count. I also haven't counted Clear Havana's x 6, CC's x20.
Good luck, as a simple Comp it would be great to see all members with PM 's having one guess at least.
Only one guess a day allowed but you can try every day until someone guesses it or the 8th Feb 23:59 so I can get your address in time to post. Good Luck!
