I have an unopened box of Cohiba EL pyramids.I think they are from 2006.I don`t see that one in your photograph Stevieboy.

I have a box of MC EL robustos, I think that might be the one near the middle of the photo?

Hey Whisk!

I don't have one of the 2006 piramides

Are the MC robsutos the 2006 or the 2000 version? The 2000 version won't have the year written on the EL band.

If you ever fancy a wee swap around, let me know

Have you ever seen either of the Particulares?

Nope, and I doubt whether I will now. Even if you could locate them I'd hate to think of the price now.

Tease

I think they must be the 2006 ones.Again they have not been opened so I haven`t looked at the bands Stevieboy.

The piramides are still in the outer protective cardboard wrapper and have not been opened.I will open them up when i get back home in a couple of weeks and photograph them, just to tease you, you understand!

Bucking fastard!!

I had a box of the 2001 Piramides but never got with them at all and ended up selling most of the box..I've still got 4 left. I tried one a few months ago and still not too hot...guess they'll rest for a few more months

EL 2006.

Only an A-hole would would post a photograph of something you have your heart set on to complete your collection............so without further ado, here are the Cohiba Piramide EL 2006 Stevieboy, as promised, all ten of them in their splendid little presentation box.

Seriously though Stevieboy, I have no idea what these things will smoke like, however the aroma from the box when it was first opened was fantastic.Really rich spicy, woody, cocoa, chocolate, creamy, vanilla....you get the picture.

If I smoke one of these then I know for a fact that they will all be doomed in a relatively short period of time.

If you are interested then PM me ASAP, before my curiosity gets the better of me.


PS.The other EL box in the corner of the photograph is the MC Robusto EL 2006 (talk about rubbing salt in the wound!).

[Stevieboy]

I used to like you....you git

[Robusto]

I hate both of you.
I've dribbled down my shirt front here.

That's hardcore, that is.

[whisky77]

Lusis

I hate both of you.
I've dribbled down my shirt front here.

That's hardcore, that is.

Before you change your shirt Robusto! got some new Lusis in (pride of place in my photo album cover), bit young at 2008, so they are going for a rest at the darkest corner of the humidor for at least 18 long months, or maybe 15 months, then again a year is a long time.....

[Robusto]

I don't know how some of you guys manage to hold on to such beautiful sticks in your humis for so long.

To be completely honest, it would be the same as saying "I must not have sex" repeatedly. That's pretty demanding lol!

I'm into my cigars very seriously currently to the extent of thinking about them in bed when I hit the pillow at the moment. Just the glory of it all.

In this "state" (which I'm hyping up somewhat), I think I'd be destroying one master cigar after another.

I smoke more cigars in the school holidays so I'm on the starting block for a mini-binge, as it were.

I'd need to be handcuffed to a radiator to leave those porn pic beauts alone!

[whisky77]

Control yourself man!!

Self control Robusto, self control!
I know where you are coming from, but the long term appreciation is what should be important.

I could easily smoke the Lusis over the next four weeks and I know for a fact I would really enjoy them.However I also know if I tuck them away and forget about them for a year and a half then they will be substantially improved.

As long as I have a varied selection of cigars in the meantime, then there should be no reason to go near them.

Don`t get me wrong, it dosen`t always work out as intended,but the majority of the time if you can stick them at the back of the humidor and semi forget about them then it seems to work.

[Robusto]

That's exactly why I've bought a decent size humi, Whisk. To try to approach this joy proactively (lmfao!) rather than to smoke down to zero every few months.

I know the other is better when deferred, so this can be, too.

I'll keep watching the post.

PHEW!!!! So it's not just me then...I drifted off to to sleep thinking about a box of Juan Lopez Obus's RE from France.....nice way to fall asleep it was too

[Robusto]

Stevieboy - It's leaf pervedom!

I've been running in a showbiz Cornetto whirl for three days, and my wife and kids have been home-based but at all points of the compass.

I found myself in bed - with my wife already asleep - thinking about the tastes and smells of cigars.

I was flying in bed - so bizarre - to the thought of the various cigars I'd had over the last few days.

I had a wonderful time!

Proactive, reactive?

Proactive rather than reactive, thats the way( I can see we have both had to listen to the same bo**ocks at some point).
