I am still letting my Cohiba XV's, Rocky Patel Edge, and a variety of others marinate until spring time. Too cold to smoke here unless I head to a bar which is not too often. I'll have to get a pic of my stash. My new humidor is working beautifully.

you do understand the cuban hype that has been fostered over the last 50 years is no longer the same as what it is. Many of the top "cuban" cigar makers left cuba years ago and reemerged on islands such as the dominican republic.

I watched a show a couple months back and it was about this guy who has a couple handroll shops where they do custom orders of whatever style and grade tobacco people want. he explained why cubans today are no longer what they mean and you can generally get a better or as good cigar from the dominican republic or similar nation for a fraction of the price. its only those that still are stuck in the hype that HAVE to have the cubans.

im not saying cubans arent good im just saying dont buy into the hype about them being the best, its just not true anymore

Yeah, I checked that website and got all excited about making an order... turns out they don't ship to Canada.

I just busted out my humidifier and all the cigars are dry and rock hard. :-( There go 5 good cigars. They were the ones I was looking forward to trying. Oh well. Maybe I'll try one anyway.
