Flor de Cano:Cohiba - 3:1

Good buys mate

[cigarmo]

How can you tell?
Is it the uneven bands? Or the wild variation in wrapper colour?
Or is there something I'm missing?

All that and the cigars are all different shapes the pointy ends are all over the place

Hmmm they are all rather two tone, apart from the one in the middle.

I trust the source 99.99%. That should say enough. On top of the box being immaculate, the feet are as well packed as any other.

It's a shame that they have a dryer and darker (anyone who knows me at this point knows I hate "maduro" Cubans) wrappers but 2006 had some notoriously inconsistent Limited Edition cigars. Well... Just the Montecristo Robusto and the Cohiba Piramides. The last one I had was a STELLAR wrapped stick and felt like I needed a box (which I'm glad I found). Other ones I've seen more recently has them looking much darker and much more rustic.


Take a look at one of the most reputable cigar websites out there: Halfwheel. Not only does the cap look like a chisel, but the band has a shawty print job:

Shawty?

[butternutsquashpie]

Shawty?

I just googled the definition. And the first one that popped up said "Fine ass woman". Huh.

By "Shawty," I was searching for the word that meant: raggedy, dilapidated, falling apart, disheveled, etc.

unsure of the sincerityness of tihs post but i will try and answer it best i can because i am nice like taht

Maduro is what I call 'dark' wrappers. Hence why maduro was in quotations.
I can't help but think that the dark LE wrappers is what contributes to the lot of them tasting like NCs. Definitely not maduro (we had a thread on this a while back) but it sure as hell tastes like there is SOME sort of maduro in there.

this is my view in today's market place but was not always the case a maduro wrapper used to mean a particular leaf processed by a specific method but todays smokers refer to all so called dark cigars as maduros like some refer to all sodas as coke lol but that is just you

[butternutsquashpie]

Well all maduros are dark and slightly sweeter. Figuring that all dark cigars are maduro when they taste sweet... That's just inductive reasoning!
Mind you, it's not true. But c'mon. There has to be some sort of causation, no? (asking seriously here)

[TJCoro]

no doubt

haha you use funny words in my view you say inductive and you say deductive so lets call the whole thing off and go have a maduro puro lol
