Does nobody like trinidad cigars?

[memphsdad]

This is hard for me to say, gulp, but I agree with Jon. Coloniales is the best vitola of the last few yrs for trinidad. Fundies used to be special but my last box was very disappointing. And vigias are for people like Chuck. Over priced fatty designed to compete with macanudo in the US.

While I’m sure that statement is true I don’t have access to these mysterious fairly priced vendors you speak of.

Take it back

Put in a little bit of research, they're fairly easy to find

is $250 for the cab of coloniales really that overpriced?

I never said it was overpriced, just that it was cheaper elsewhere. Almost 10% cheaper. Idk about you, but in this already expensive hobby I'm looking to save money anywhere I can.

Colonials and Reyes have been in my humidors since 2010. It took me about 2 years to realize their worth.
If they go on a “unusual sale” you buy more than one box.

Everyday is special, no need to wait. Light it up

I wholeheartedly agree. I don't "save" anything anymore, if I feel like smoking it, I smoke it. Tomorrow isn't guaranteed.

I had a total of SIX CC's, been rationing them over time. Because when they are gone, I will cry.

You realize Cuba will make more, right?

Reyes, Colonials, & Vigia are very well stocked in my humidor. Haven't had a recent Fundie that made me want more. Old Fundie are another story.
Really want to try the new LCDH, but not unless the price drops.

I'm curious about the new double robusto. Hoping Chuck offers some up. I'm too lazy to chase.

Trinidad is a great brand. Aging is key like most of the brands. Vigia is awesome, Topes is something special.

Went through several 50 cabs of the Fundies back in the early 2000’s when they still used to come in that format. Best box of cigars I ever smoked through was a cab from 98. Simply sublime.
(Side note, had a cab of 50 that took 48 days to get to me. Thought it had been seized. Was a great mail day!)

i got mine from @bostoneo cheaper than HSA prices. He just can't make the prices public. PM him

 

[BenS]

I'm sure he'll hook me up at hbh.

If my youngest wasn’t so young I would go. IPA drinking all day

I only know of one vendor...albeit I haven't really bought much in the way of Habanos though...that is looking to change though.

 

[Unpossible_1]

Post that in the buying freeze thread!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Nah, I’m not that savage. I gotta help out as much as possible. Two kids is rough.

But I really do want to go. @bostoneo is running some crazy HBH splits in person only, he’s going to take his POS system to ring up the price of the splits at the cabin.
