04 Vs. 08

haha no thanks, they are my second favorite after Millenium Piramides
though I can't wait to have the the Gran Reserva that's coming this year

Senor Pedro, have you ever smoked a Cohiba Sublime EL 04? If so, how would you compare it to the Sublime EL 08?

Have you a source for '04s TJ? I got 5 in a split a few years ago and have smoked all but one. I'd love more but expect they'd cost the earth now

To answer Tjtoro and Steve, no I haven't smoked a 04EL sublimes, although I have a box, bought for about 650 pounds when I was still in China, and recently realized it's a fake. Luckly, the seller is a good friend of mine, and promised I can get the money back. He got it from a german supplier.

I saw quite a lot of 04 Sublimes and 03 DC, but with my 2 year habanos collecting experience, I am pretty sure they are allllll FAKE!! I told the frenchmen, and they all gave me the same answer, say being fake is impossible since they are supplied by the official dealer appointed by Habanos SA. I don't know how the fakes got it, but there they are. Ask to see the box before buying a split, and you will see why if you have a real one.

I believe Davidoff in London still has got a couple of them, not sure if they are real, but the price is 60 pounds. I hope you won't buy it hehehe

It's a Fair Deal!

No source of mine has them. But I saw a some boxes a few years ago in Mexico for $1,300 US and $2000 US in Canada. So you can only imagine what they cost now. I do have a few that I keep safely stored under lock and key!

On very, very rare occasions, I will whip one out and smoke it - but only when the time is right and I can give it my full attention! To do otherwise would be a waste of what I consider one of the very best, if not the best, Habana puros.

But I would be willing to trade one for a Cohiba Sublime 08.

Know anyone who has one?

[TJCoro]

Pick one up and smoke it sometime!

Interesting, senor pedro,

I've never bought a "split" and I'm not sure what it is. But I only buy boxes and when buying from in shop, including the LCDH that I patronize, I give them a thorough examination before I do, including opening the box. But you never know, I guess, even when buying from a LCDH!

In the end, the best way to tell is to smoke them. I can honestly say that the Cohiba Sublimes O4s are one of the best, if not the very best, Habana I have smoked...and I've enjoyed a ton from all over the world.

By the way, how did you determine that yours were counterfeit?

[HabanoSy]

...though I can't wait to have the the Siglo VI Gran Reserva that's coming this year

Has anyone got any idea when these will become available for purchase...?

Cheers, HabanoSy

[whisky77]

Year end.

I have only seen them in photographs with that weird insignia.Hopefully we should get them before the year end.

[Deano]

Bloody hell what a beauty.

[whisky77]

release date.

Latest I have now heard is the end of October for a release date, and they will not be cheap either.

Yeh, I know...!?!

I heard that they were gonna be a 'bag a sand' for 15...!?!

Got to be able to get them cheaper than that though, surely...?

Eyes peeled, HabanoSy

[whisky77]

Yikes!!!

Should be cheaper once they hit EU, but the limited numbers mean they will still be upwards of ?800 AFAIK.

Hopefully I am wrong.
