Cigars what you smoking.

Getting ready to smoke this. Party short. They’re good but do to price increases on Cubans. Nah ain’t buying any ever at these prices. This one was a gift from my buddy lee

 

[KS Plainsman]

I’ve had both. Still have some of the all red ones. Need to smoke one again. Nice score!

I still need to get the Miami's and the Norteno's.

What's your favorite out of the Herrera Esteli's?

blue band maybe. I honestly like all of them. I have everything they ever rolled as far as I know
The original is killer as heck. But the actual flavor profile of Ol blue makes me pretty happy

Yeah, those Brazilian Maduro's are very good. I can't wait to get to try these in a few weeks.

I've watched several videos with Willy. Interesting fella. As far as I've found, there's 5 in the Herrera Esteli line, but he's had his hand in a lot of the Drew Estate brands.

I bought my box of Bolivars for $236 & now they want $886 for them.

Most places I have looked are sold out of the Royal Coronas, I have a line on a different site but I am doing some research to make sure it’s legitimate. They are wanting $256

I remember hearing that the prices went up, but never looked up how bad. That's an insane jump in price.

What’s the cause of the price bump?

 

[JimBear]

What’s the cause of the price bump?

Some of it is availability & the other is inflation, I guess…

 

[KS Plainsman]

What’s the cause of the price bump?

I heard from a Youtube channel, that was interviewing a popular retail shop in London, that it was to make it so Cuban cigars are the same price, no matter where in the world they are bought. It was either Japan, or South Korea, that had the highest prices for whatever reason and so it is all pegged to that price.

They didn't go way into the weeds about it, but where Cuba deals with distributors for specific regions, I'm sure they can make sure prices are regulated.

It sure doesn’t look like a stout from my recollection.

 

[JimBear]

I am having this one now

 

[KS Plainsman]

Had me a big Tabak on the way home today. Still like the Red Eyes the most out of the Tabaks, but they're all good.

The dulce are good but I prefer the negra also.

I haven't had the negras yet, and still need to get some, but I like the dulces too. The Cafe Con Leche is probably the least flavorful out of the 3 I've had. It's still got a ton of Drew Estate flavor, but the least out of the 3, but I've noticed for me, smaller ring gauges seem to have a lot more flavor for me, than larger gauges.

I do like me some cigarillos.

What’s the cause of the price bump?

Here's a quick read explaining it, if you're interested. And I was off, it was Hong Kong, they're pinning prices too.

Prices for Cohiba Will Triple - Cigar Journal

Habanos S.A. adjusted the prices for Cohiba, Trinidad, Montecristo 1935 and Romeo y Julieta Línea de Oro to the Hong Kong price level for all markets worldwide.
