Montecristo Edmundo

[Thegreekone]

A guy flipped me one today at the B&M but it was longer than what is the designated size online and bandless. It was more like a 6x52.

It is 2 years old.

Smoke, save, is this for real?

I thought they were 5.3x52. This was longer and without a band.

He is a great guy and I don't doubt it is what he says.

Maybe they hid the bands when they got them. :dunno:

Thanks,

Jack

Quite possibly a Grand Edmundo.

Well, if it's this one, it should have a 2nd band. If it's bandless, there's no way to know, but it's NOT 2-years old in this case, as the Grand is a 2010 release.

Odds are the guy who gave it to him has no clue himself exactly what "cuban" that was. :squinteye

Are you referring to the guy who flipped it to me or the guy who sold them to him?

I am pretty solid on my guy's side. His locker is filled with three things: CCs, Padron Anniversary, and a bottle of Blanton's.

I think I have to take some responsibility for this. Since it had no band, it may have "looked bigger" than it actually was. Maybe they are bandless due to the vendor or even him. Not everybody wants to let people know they are flush or get hounded by shlubbs for cubans.

THERE, I pitched you a slow softball over the plate. Enjoy.

Now I'm leaning toward Petit Edmundo!! :rolling::tonguerol

Checked it out, Monti Edmundo!

 

[njstone]

Checked it out, Grand Edmundo!

Cool, so it's the 2010 Grand? Maybe these came out before now, I don't really know for sure. I have heard some great things about these, though!

Not if is 2 years old. The earliest I have heard of them landing on the market is in feb at the women in Habanos dinner at the Habanos festival. I am going to have to second the comment that the guy who gave it to you is unsure of what he was giving you. 2 year old Edmundo with no band that just happens to be the same size as the new grand edmundo really makes me question the cigar.

 

[MiamiE]

Well.... It technically is 2 year old tobacco.

 

[gibbleguts]

Now you are digging aren't you:applause:

I think it is only the wrapper that gets extra age for EL smokes.

 

[MiamiE]

I am digging... LOL.

 

[Thegreekone]

I biffed his thing twice!

It is, in fact, a Monti Edmundo from 2008.

Does that make it a four year old smoke?

He said they are smoking great!

 

[gibbleguts]

Nope if it from 08 and is the size of a grand edmundo then I then I think it is a Monti Edmondu. Standard aging before boxing is quite short.
