Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Are Cuban cigars really better? Smoking a 7 year old Romeo y Julieta short Churchill.

    Several years ago I was in the Dominican Republic, a local (of Cuban origin, but NOT @creepycoug) took me to the market in Santo Domingo, so I could buy a couple of boxes of cubanos to smuggle bring home. He told me that when Fidel got his guysm in there, many tobacco families got a bunch of seed out, to the DR, Nicaragua, and Honduras. He said that while there are subtle differences, the good sticks from elsewhere all were Cuban seed, originally...made sense. I don't smoke enough to tell the difference, and smoked DR cohibas when I was hanging at the cigar room at Daniel's in Bellevue...

    Was Kim there ?
    That must be why my wife could never get the happy hour cab that drinks like a merlot…they were always out of it

    I have never smoked a cigar in my life, let alone ordered from the Swiss. Figured you were talking about some shit you could buy at your local rez/smoke shop, not some $1,000 a box shit.

    I know Brier and I figured as much.

    I drove down my old Seattle street back in June. Mostly $900K to 1.3 range stuff. It seemed way grosser than I remembered.

    I am officially back in the game…hooked up with my college roomie today at his son’s house, who recently moved into the area. He’s a cigar guy now, and great gramps, grandpa, papa and old rooms had a sesh on the deck (10 year old grandson was not included)…Golden Phoenix Cohiba…don’t know quality, prestige or price, but I got that taste…
