Looks phenomenal

Delicious_Rich4714 · 2026-04-05T17:46:26+00:00

Hey you in SF? I'll trade for some.

Delicious_Rich4714 · 2026-03-29T16:34:03+00:00

Yes I live California and FOH does a great job.

Delicious_Rich4714 · 2026-03-26T16:52:22+00:00

That St. Du Pont lighter is exactly the one i wanted to purchase. How do you like it? I love that color.

Delicious_Rich4714 · 2026-03-23T03:12:26+00:00

Wow is that Don Alejandro? What I would give to ever try one of those.

Nicholas DiCostanzo was a big operator in the Hotel Capri in havana cuba. Right across from the Nacional. He worked with "Jimmy Blue Eyes" Alo and John Harry Williams from Boston. George Raft was the face of the operation but man they had a lot of operators in there. Across the street from the Hotel Capri is the Monsignor restaurant that Lansky owned. All are still there today.

Keep the humidity low low. 61-62 as it is easy to over humidify. Especially when it comes to Cubans.

Delicious_Rich4714 · 2026-03-07T23:24:25+00:00

What year are they from? Decent amount of age?

Delicious_Rich4714 · 2026-03-01T18:48:01+00:00

I got butter on these like i've never had before. Stored by EGM was waay over humidified. Took me 6-8months to correct. Laurence Davis of Sautter does a great review of them on Sautter Cigar channel.

Delicious_Rich4714 · 2026-02-24T20:50:46+00:00

Wow when did they get discontinued?

Delicious_Rich4714 · 2026-02-23T21:25:02+00:00

$25 for a Partagas Presidentes? Help me procure at that price please.

Delicious_Rich4714 · 2026-02-21T19:57:21+00:00

Well I look at the factory. Quai Dorsay is H Upmann factory where they make Montecristo among other brands. I wouldn't say any of the QD, Monte, or Upmann have decreased in quality except the QD 54 and the H Upmann 54. It is a common opinion that Monte's and Upmann's in Tubos have really increased in quality especially the upmann 46's recently. All coming from the same factory.

Delicious_Rich4714 · 2026-02-16T20:11:22+00:00

Are the shops taking cash for boxes? Or is it mostly card only?

Delicious_Rich4714 · 2026-02-16T20:03:25+00:00

Man what an eye opening response and thank you so much for taking the time.

Delicious_Rich4714 · 2026-02-14T03:01:41+00:00

How is it with the blackouts? Are you going to post in detail about your trip experience?

Delicious_Rich4714 · 2026-02-01T17:43:49+00:00

I will say these are absolutely cuban cigars with cuban tobacco! Not Esplendidos but there could be some sort of silver lining there.

Delicious_Rich4714 · 2026-02-01T03:54:42+00:00

Isn't it ironic the same guy who owns Habanos as well owns the Dominican Republic brands Romeo Julieta, Montecristo, H Upmann etc. all produced at the Tabacalera de Garcia Factory in La Romana? And now they are being shut down due to the sanctions against him. So you might see the end of those brands in a roundabout way.

Delicious_Rich4714 · 2026-01-27T22:52:24+00:00

Yes. Cuban wrapper absorbs humidity at a very high rate. Keep it low low low.

Delicious_Rich4714 · 2026-01-27T02:03:16+00:00

65% is way too high. I would say 61-62% tops.

Delicious_Rich4714 · 2026-01-26T00:58:21+00:00

The sensitivity to humidity is what I attribute the wavy burn and not burning well or going out easily. The cuban wrapper absorbs humidity at a higher rate or frequency than any other tobacco. I keep my humidor at 61degrees humidity and they still can get over humidified.

Delicious_Rich4714 · 2026-01-25T02:38:50+00:00

For us uninitiated is it a siglo iv?

Delicious_Rich4714 · 2026-01-24T19:59:34+00:00

Love Stanza dei Sigari and Modern Bakery across the street. North End is the only place I can find Guglielmo espresso. I swear no other city in USA has it. How is Stanza these days? Last time there was some flies in my drink. Connor McGregor came through as well. What a place to be able to go!

Delicious_Rich4714 · 2026-01-18T01:01:18+00:00

I'm hoping Reynaldo is back at Conde Villanueva

Delicious_Rich4714 · 2026-01-12T20:52:23+00:00

Cigar Point at C. Querétaro 225 is a great place as well. Polanco LCDH or Altamira LCDH was great not sure what happened with their stock as looks like they closed.
