So not exactly new to the jareador, it's been in there a few months since I returned from Mexico
A Rosario Churchill. Was pennies, maybe a pound or so.
A good looking stick, nice oily wrapper. Long filler. The prelight draw was delicious - leather and cedar, cocoa and nuttiness.
It lit very well, drew beautifully, with huge clouds of creamy white smoke. The ash was great, almost 3 inches, although the burn was a bit wonky at times. However it was like smoking charcoal off the BBQ. Horrible tasting, like burnt plastic and my tongue is totally numb now! Didn't make it passed half way!Comment

I was in mexico last year littered with fakes and poor cigarsComment

Indeed, Mexico seems to be the capital of fakes. I found some decent ones at the reputable shops though.Originally posted by mightyred View PostComment

There were lots of dreadful fakes when I was there, including the famous Cohiba boxes with Perspex lids!
i had high hopes for this stick though, it looked great.Comment

Just arrived via the ever slow Royal Mail. Cost pennies from eBay.
more dried out than I had hoped, but currently in a jar with some crystals to hopefully begin the rehydration process....
Randomly the R&J is already (badly) cut....Comment

if they're that cheap why not, I've got a pre-2009 Monte and a pair of Davidoffs doing the same thingOriginally posted by Evildan View Post'Cigars are a hobby, cigarettes an addiction'Comment

It seems like a plan. Unsure how old these are - any clues in the packaging?
the chap said he had had them in a draw since Xmas, but they are definately considerably older than that.Comment

Always best to dehydrate slowly as the wrappers may swell and split. Leave the cigars in the jar but with just a bit of damp kitchen roll. Check them often and make sure there's a digital hygrometer in with them. Try to get them to no more than 55RH for a week or so then very slowly increase the RH. It can take months to see results but it's a nice wee project. Bon chance!Originally posted by Evildan View PostComment

The silver Romeo tube was discontinued in 2008 and the Punch in 2009 according to the Cuban Cigars WebsiteOriginally posted by Evildan View Post'Cigars are a hobby, cigarettes an addiction'Comment
