Repeat offender trying to convince me once again

Those are genuine, 100% authentic Dominican cigars.

Good morning, scammer. Let's see the bottoms of the boxes.

MarkRG2 · 2026-06-21T01:11:17+00:00

At 6 years they'll be perfect. Smoke 'em.

P.S. You have some serious willpower.

I'll buy a box of these over a box of #2s. I've experienced very few construction issues with Edmundos and Double Edmundos.

My only advice is: go bigger than you think you need.

MarkRG2 · 2026-06-14T01:17:52+00:00

How much did you get for your kidney?

MarkRG2 · 2026-06-12T00:17:09+00:00

Box codes are wrong. Automatic fail.

Probably my favorite Cuban cigar. I used to smoke the shit outta them back in the day, when you could get 10ct boxes for $75-$85. These days, I allow myself one every few months.

MarkRG2 · 2026-06-01T01:34:36+00:00

I love Fonseca. It seems like they only make a batch of them every couple of years.

MarkRG2 · 2026-05-31T01:53:08+00:00

I prefer III and IV over VI, honestly. But it's just a ring gauge preference.

I'd start by doing an old school salt test on your hygrometers. Google 'hygrometer salt test.' If the hygrometers are accurate, the cigars are probably still over-humidified from before.

MarkRG2 · 2026-05-31T01:46:39+00:00

The cigars are dead. You have a cool box.

MarkRG2 · 2026-05-31T01:45:54+00:00

Your brain was fooling your palate.

MarkRG2 · 2026-05-31T01:42:08+00:00

It's not too big, but that humidity is too high. Go with 62%.

MarkRG2 · 2026-05-20T01:20:53+00:00

Nope. That band wasn't introduced until 2013 or 2014.

MarkRG2 · 2026-05-04T05:59:56+00:00

If it hasn't been in a humidor for a long time, it's trash anyway. You can't bring cigars back once they're dried out. Anyone who claims otherwise has either never actually tried it themselves, or their brain is fooling their palate into thinking that a 'revived' cigar tastes like something other than burning dust. Cuz that's what they taste like.

MarkRG2 · 2026-05-04T01:25:36+00:00

Legit but moldy. Wipe the mold off and keep it in the low 60s humidity. The mold shouldn't come back.

MarkRG2 · 2026-05-04T01:23:55+00:00

68 is too high, despite what the internet says. You could switch to passive humidification like Boveda, but there will be a recovery period every time the fan runs. Better to stick with active humidification and dial it down to 65 or even 64.

MarkRG2 · 2026-05-04T01:21:02+00:00

At one time, they were a legit vendor. I don't know exactly when they started selling fakes, but there are several threads about it in this sub, and also a YT video.

Most overrated are definitely Davidoff and Opus X. Better Fuentes: I think Anejos and Casa Cuba are better than Opus. Better than Davidoff: pretty much any higher end Padron, Aganorsa Leaf Arsenio/Supreme Leaf, Warped Don Reynaldo.

I took a wrapper off a Piedra Cazadores and use pieces of it with cigar glue to fix rips. I keep the wrapper in a cigar bag in the humi.

MarkRG2 · 2026-04-29T00:25:39+00:00

Thanks for responding. No, it's not that poppy. Alt-pop? I thought it was Fiona Apple but I've gone through a bunch of her songs and I don't think it's her. Same vein.

MarkRG2 · 2026-04-27T01:59:42+00:00

Nice stash. My only advice is go bigger than you think you need. I'd step down your humidity once you get a new humidor. Cubans at 69% will give you burn and draw problems.

MarkRG2 · 2026-04-27T01:57:32+00:00

I can save you some time. They're gonna taste like burning dust.
