Cigars what you smoking.

That’s why I hate on them. They’re a decent cigar. Nowhere close to the same ballpark as msrp. They’ve used the Cuban cohiba name to make the cigar sound valuable.

From my experience they aren’t very consistent. One box is decent. Next box is lousy. I have a bunch of them left from when I first started buying cigars. Now I just follow the online sales from other cigar shops or use their coupons and find better smokes that are on sale.

I do still buy from cbid I’m just very selective of what I do buy.

Seems they've done that with a few Cuban names. Kinda crappy of them. If I'm spending 20 bucks a stick, that sucker better be making me feel like a crack addict wanting more at the end, even if it is that expensive. Lol

The Herrera Esteli's blow the Red Dot's out of the water and they're about half the price. Heck, the Legends are better too IMO and they're nowhere near that much either.

It makes me want to smoke a real Cohiba, just to compare.

I own one but I’ve never had one. God only knows what one cost now but i have 30$ in that single. Prices went crazy on Cubans so I’m not buying any.

Those Herrera esteli are very good cigars. Especially if you got a good deal on them.

I think the best Cohibas are the Puro Dominicanas.

I keep watching Online Cigars for a decent sale on Cubans but it hasn’t occurred yet & I don’t really have enough points built up there to amount to beans.

67$ a piece for a cohiba robusto. I should just sell that *b-word I have

They seem to be on Free Fall on Cigar Bid often. The Herrera Esteli's that is.

Yeah I got 1 box from there last year. Two other boxes on a different sale from somewhere. I recently scored a box of the Miami super cheap on some warehouse clean out sale. I plan on revisiting the Miami soon. I’ve got a Brazilian maduro in my “to smoke now” section.

War horse bar original. Pipe is a chacom black magic.

Pipes are real good too I don’t know what I’m doing still with pipe tobacco. I know I like burley. This is a blend I randomly bought on cbid It’s a winner. Pipe tobacco is reasonable compared to cigars. If you’ve never dabbled with them give them a shot.

In my more colorful youth I dabbled in all kinds of pipes & stuffs that were smoked in them… But I have never tried tobacco in a pipe. Lol.

My wife wants me to start smoking a pipe but I know how that will go.

My biggest problem is I learned how to smoke a pipe the same way you did.

You gotta do it a little different. It’s a different experience with different flavors cigars can’t produce. I smoke a pipe inside. Less volume of smoke and some of it smells kinda good. The aromatic stuff smells very good. I just typically don’t smoke it because I don’t know what’s good and what’s not. I wanna pick up some Boswell aromatic stuff. I hear the berry cobbler is very good

Those aren’t ridiculously priced for a Cuban. How was it ?

For the price I’d actually buy some. It’s got that Cuban twang going on. Nothing mind blowing. It’s a machine made cigar but it smokes good

This was from a trade partner who picked me up a box of discontinued cigars I was looking for that he found at a shop local to him.

I like it

I guess this is maybe a Serie V ? It’s an Oliva 2nd from Cigar Page.

Potentially a v maduro. They usually have a code of some sort when you’re buying them. I’ve screwed that up at this point because my unbanded smokes are all mixed up. If they go in one spot it means they’re good. If they’re in a different spot I didn’t like them

I had this one today after doing battle with some Osage trees.

Mama is out gallivanting about with her sister so I am going to burn this one tonight.
