Anybody serious about cigars should check out this offer thompson cigar has going on right this moment, for $20 I just now received a lot of various cigars that was absolutely worthwhile! Thompsoncigar-PH16.Co.Cc
Tbh i just look at this and think to myself... REALLY ??? I mean ive been to cuba (from the uk) and i went on a 3 day trip to havana, and when we visited the cigar factory the tobacoo is stored in these weaven type of bags , and then its just rolled on a table , to say that it has 'citrus , mandarin , coffee , leather' aromas i just think is all in yor head ..no doubt its smooth and mild and a nice drag , but this isnt a whisky that has been matured with those aromas , its tobaco str8 frm a farm
@TheRedline161 Three days in Cuba and you are an expert on Cuban tobacco characteristics and flavours? Not sure why we have been wasting our time with these reviews when all we needed to do was look at a woven hessian bag full of tobacco and we would know everything about Cuban cigars!
@FriendsofHabanos Yea good response but , there was a suttle question in my comment.... Basically i dont see how these flavours can possibly come to a cigar , tobaco picked > bagged > factory>rolled , tbh i think your being a little to quick to try and make someone looks stupid when tbh i mearly asking , how you come by these flavours ... ?
@TheRedline161 Just like wine has a different flavour from different regions, cigars are the same. Depending on the region the tobacco is grown and the amount of each of the different leafs are used in each of the blends creates different flavours.
@TheRedline161 These guys know whaty they are talking about, don't worry. I have only been smoking Havana cigars regularly for the past 9 years, though I had the great luck to work with a specialist cigar merchant during that time. As they have said in relation to wine, Cuban cigar tobacco draws identifyable flavour characteristics from the soil, sun and altitudes it's grown in, as well as the individual Houses fermentation and curing techniques. These guys have a great blind tasting video also.
@TheRedline161 You ought to try some and see. You won't notice those tastes at first but eventually you get more sensitive to the subtleties. Also if you are a regular cigarette smoker you'll likely never notice any flavor from a cigar..
@suza1103 I agree most sites sell fake cubans, but their are sites that have legit cubans. These cubans are imported from Cuba then distributed to companys which then distribute it internationally. The boxes of the habanos have cuban government stamps on them so it had to have come from there. Sites are cheaper than stores because they don't need to pay taxes or at least the legit ones I know are located in taxfree locations.
The only "Cohiba" that is not a true cuban is what you will get in the US. Hence the Dominican red dot "Cohiba" or those expensive fakes they sell online that actually ship to the US made with short or sometimes mixed fillers. True honest to God Cohibas must be purchased abroad unless you have a few brave friends in the right places NOT the internet lol . Great video gentlemen every time I get a good esplendido I'm in sheer bliss. The only thing better is a 54 lol
@AEafficionado what a 54?? and my dads friend sold us one of those cigars for 15 bucks each. hes cuban and he is a close family friend. it looks exactly like the one on the video. how can i tell if its fake??
@MegaBigsexy45 it cost you $15. If it was real you'd be paying triple that, and if your Dad's friend was a real cigar smoker he would have gifted you them for free as a fellow brother of the leaf.
You can get a box of 25, anywhere in the USA for $400 (renowned cigar sellers), that equals $16 per cigar, that doesn't seen too expensive no?! Even churchills you'll get for within the $28 rage..
I hope they are better today than in the mid 90's. Some were perfect, but some had a very bad draw. So bad draw that they couldn't be smoked! You would expect better quality for a cigar that costs $30 each.
Me and my bro's smoked these last night. We picked them up in the bahama's a few months ago and have been saving them for graduation... they were absolutely amazing! "The king of Cubans"
@Midgetman303 LOL. First Bahamas, they are probably fake. Second, if they were not in a humidor and your house wasn't in 65 - 75 percent humidity conditions (stably too) they would smoke like shit.
@snaggypaggy ill bet anything they were fake. Bahamas HA! they prolly had a glass cover lol. the only place to buy the real deal is an official habanos shop, end of story. sick and tired of this fake shit.
Smoked a Cohiba outside of a sports bar, and got verbal appraisal for just the smell of it. In the states it is illegal, so I don't thnik they believed me when I stated it was a Cuban, but a true Cigar lover should know the difference in just the smell... I do.
I am looking at selling some boxes of Esplendidos, 25s, I got from Cuba, but I dont know where to start. I am in South Australia. Please contact me for a chat about the cigars if you are interested.
i have two box like this one,,,, that i bring from cuba the last week if some body intersted let my know,, email me with your number and i will call you,,cost 500 each one,,
Esplendidos is definitely the best cigar I've ever smoked. I think it's one of the best for a beginner, who wants to understand why good cuban cigars are so popular. It's a long smoke, but the smaller ring gauge makes it easy to smoke. Very creamy and pleasant. The burn is great. The price is about 25-30 EUR, but it's worth it!
Great review! Welcome back ken! I got to say, i have always had good luck with the esplendido. It's true with these that they are either really good or really bad, there is no in between. Glad to see you guys got a really good one!
