What a big cigar! 9.2 inches by 47 RG. Old style Montecristo band. Light brown wrapper. Excellent condition for a cigar 18 years old. Pre light draw is perfect. Very easy for the length. Wrapper is very thin and light. The corojo was different then, this is before the hybrid was introduced...

Reviews of the Cuba Aliados Short Palm cigars age for 15 years. Thanks you to Alex for these cigars.

have two old sealed tins from Barry Levin's store from 1993; one is Limited Vintage Syrian Reserve and Ringlow Matured English Supreme.Both are rare but particularly Ringlow. These usually sell at pipe shows from $45 to $80 a tin; any interest send me a PM and make me an offer.

Punch Margarita - 1993 I had innocently mentioned in this thread http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=151916 that I enjoyed the 2001 vintage of this cigar. Being a kind and generous gorilla, Vstrommark bombed me with a couple of the 1993 vintage. Now I didn't take pictures because I...

I have been hanging on to these since 1993. They were given to me in a sampler by my Grandfather. He is no longer with us. I almost smoked one after his burial in 95, but I remembered what he told me. "Son, hang on to these for a long time and they will be good", he said. Well Granddaddy, you...

I smoked this cigar tonight with a glass of Mitolo Jester Shiraz 2005 (a decent quaffing wine). The flavors were truly beautiful. With a colorado maduro wrapper and perfect burn, this cigar was a masterpiece to behold. The only unfortunate drawback was that the draw was a bit sparse...I...

Intro It's the perfect day for smoking a couple of cigars out back. It's 79*F, the slightest bit of a breeze, and no humidity. I'm talking on Skype with a couple of blokes and sipping on plain ice water so as to not interfere with the flavors of these cigars. The task I've decided to take is a...

I'm in the middle of smoking a beautiful 1993 Cohiba Explendido. And this cigar is an excellent example of the marca - colorado claro wrapper, oily sheen, old-style Cohiba band. Loads of nutty, grassy smoke with that unmistakable "vintage Cohiba" character. IMHO, possibly better than the Dom...

Another somewhat rough, dry looking wrapper, but they smoke fine. I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Never been real impressed with pre-95 Fonsecas. Kind of too mild and boring. This was my first before 95. Solid med. body not mild. Main impressions were soft,sweet, woody flavor with some...

This lovely cigar was a gift from the hyper-generous Poker. (Those who warned me that I was about to be inundated with cigars were right!). According to him, it was made in Oct. 1993. It was my first Especial. I've never had this vitola in any brand (it's a long, skinny Laguito No. 1), but it...

As I opened the tube and slid out the cigar I immediately noticed the crisp aroma and beatiful wrapping of this cigar. I clipped the head and toasted the foot in eager anticipation. My first draw was awesome. A nice rich mouthful of silky creamy smoke. This cigar was bold but not...
