why did they cover the Cuban seal/Stamp? can you even see the bar code? if can see it, i would Verify that its not a fake. everything else looks good but that one little detail kinda freaks me out a touch. edit: there is micro print on the warranty seal under the word "ZIGARREN" that is the same as the bar code. you can type that in to verify on my link. set your mind at ease if it isnt already there.
Just verified them as real. Thanks for the source to verify in the future! Box date is Sept 12...forgot to mention that in my first post.
Been absent for a little over a week, so catching up, but this is what has come in lately. A HUGE thank you to Ben (BBass) and Lee for the packages they sent, and a HUGE thank you to Sam (my lounge owner of Barlow's ) for the ability to buy the MF ashtray. Backstory on the ashtray is that it is an event only piece and insanely rare, only one I've ever seen in real life and way psyched to be able to add it to my collection, thanks Sam
I've been absent for a bit due to some personal matters, but got bombed by Lee and Ben and picked up a few things myself.
Lee's azz raping...
And what I picked up myself lately....
Ashtray is freakin sweet Brett..mad jelly son! Glad to see you back posting. Hope things are well.
. Thanks a ton Big R! The owner basically gave it to me, walked out with it for $20 since he just wanted money to put into the children's Xmas fund that he collects yearlong for each Xmas. Went back and stuck another twenty in there since I didn't have more on me at the time, great guy he is
Nice choices Ben!!! Some damn yellow cello on that San Cristobal! Love to hear how you enjoy the Lat too
Yeah there is no telling how long that's been sitting around. You can tell the cello is crinkled where I had to see how good it smells. Really looking forward to it and the Lat!
got back from st augustine heres what i managed not to smoke.
a la unica.two villigers,two hand rolle by a cuban dude while i watched.and one from some really nice old lady ..
Is it just the picture or is that an opus x Maduro? Great haul all around!
Wish it was a maddie, but sadly no just the pic making it look like that.
I thought a maduro Opus is an Anejo? Correct me if I am wrong.
Yes and no. The Añejo did originate from disaster when the Opus X wrapper crop was wiped out (can't remeber if it was fire or hurricane for this creation but point is the same) and instead of giving up on that years Opus X release, Carlito put an aged Maduro leaf over a tweaked Opus X blend and then aged them in oak casks that had previously been used for rum giving them the delicious and distinct flavor that we all know and love. However they do make Maduro Opus X's in very limited batches, in fact two years ago my wife bought me an Opus X Super Belicoso Maduro and 2010 releaseBBMF Maduro. I smoked the BBMF Maddie last year with my Pops while he smoked a 2007 release Series X X^2 en coffin that I gave him. The Maduros are a whole different animal than the regular releases but very very verrrry good all the same. Even though I am a total maddie ***, I have to say that in this case I prefer the natural wrapper Opus to the Maduro only because there is significantly more complexity and nuances to the natural. Don't get me wrong though the maddies are no slouch, but they just don't quite have the same depth as the naturals. Hope that answers your question even though it was a long winded answer lol.

Dustin I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for the reviews on the Zulu Zulus and also the La Gloria Rabito. Both are on my list, i've just been waiting to place an order until i get an idea of the profiles.

They are both fantastic. I heard the Rabito may not be produced anymore, and i haven;t really seen them much as of late come to think of it. I love the things, one of the few EPC's I like. I can tell you with certainty the review of the Zulu lancero will be a good one. I've had this once, and it was excellent. I've been waiting to spot a deal on the conny lance too man. I see no reason why they will not rock. Maybe I'll review the Zulu for lancero day.

Hah! that was my first thought too. "Nice, NIIIICE, awwww."
and then what i bought myself-
that DPG BLue Lancero is for Ccom Lancero day!
The man does have good taste. Still a criminal but he does have good taste! I am glad you survived the herf!
