Treats from Cuba

[BigDan]

Hi All,

Not posted on here for a while...been quietly reading though! I don't smoke in the flat so I guess I am a bit of fair weather smoker! However...the summer is looking very good! Thanks in part to my mother of all people! Brought back some awesome gifts from her trip to Cuba!

The loose sticks are the obligatory factory buys.... few green patches so not sure about these! What is the general consensus on these?

Leaves me with a bit of a storage problem as the humidor only fits 30! Also would you recommend freezing before storing or should they be ok?

I think freezing is a very good idea. Sealed up in baggies of course, the freezer is wet! As for storage, grab a Tupperware and a couple of Boveda pouches. Lock & Lock seem to be the best Tupperware boxes for this. No idea about the factory buys, what factory was it, the look a bit gnarly which is odd, they may be factory rejects? I'm sure someone will know more.
Enjoy

And a bottle of Anejo Especial too? Beauty of a rum! Enjoy

The should already have been frozen, but best not to take a chance. Freeze. Gnarly doesn't mean rejects, they look pretty much how unbanded JLP Cremas would look from here.

Good work by your Mum.

Very nice haul, congrats! I'll also be curious to try some factory buys late this month.
