Is that bubble-wrap?

[bigbarneyhotdog]

is that ice in the rum?

[spooner]

Bubble wrap on Keith's new cigars, and as for ice in the rum yes were heathens, lol.... But it was lovely best I've had...

[bigbarneyhotdog]

Ron Zacapa is one of my fave's too, lovely with a bit of dark chocolate

[spooner]

Honestly bigbarney I haven't tasted rum like it and really appreciate mackemkeith pouring me a glass I'm usually a scotch man but hell that was nice....very sweet and no harshness ......

Glad you had an enjoyable time and it looks like a wondrous spread indeed. I too am curious about the bubble wrap as well though. Just being cautious I assume? They dont ship that way. Very hard to tell from the pic but what were you guys enjoying cigar wise?

[mackem keith]

Just to clear this up guys the cigars ordered from that particular vendor are allways opened and inspected and subsequently a small amount of bubble wrap is placed at the head and foot of the cigar this is purely to protect the cigars whilst in transit nothing sinister at all. The cigars had just been delivered that day and bubble wrap removed shortly after the pic taken and placed in the humi. I assure you nothing sinister about that practice I'm sure if memory serves there was a thread about this not so long back.

Also I forgot to clarify the cigars we were smoking in the pic was a RASS and the pic is of a box of upmann No 2

Nicely done. I wasnt trying to be critical, just inquisitive. Indeed if a box is opened before shipping the bubble wrap is a great idea!

[whisky77]

Nice one.

Upmann No2 is one of my favourite Torpedos. Takes a bit of beating, especially with a glass of Zappa.

That rum sounds good... been drinking through a bottle of Legendario Elixir de Cuba 7 year, also quite sweet, more of an everyday tipple, will get a bottle of Ron Zacapa as I've not tried it before, is that the 23 year?

[spooner]

Yeah it was a 23yr old ac I'm still quite taken aback at how good it was ....... Unbelievable.......

[Big_T_UK]

I have had cigars turn up with bubble wrap also, I have no issue with that at all.

Upmann No.2 is a great cigar, what year was the box?

More importantly, is that REALLY ice in the rum, REALLY?
