I'm stocking up too but for the same reasons as @ChefBoyRG54 ... well at least partly, as I don't require 2 bands. :confused:

But I'd be lying if I didn't have in the back of my mind the embargo ending, current shortage of leaf in Cuba because of a couple bad weather seasons, price increases, etc. Price will only go up, might as well buy, buy, buy. :cool:

while it probably doesn't make any difference to the ryan brothers buying habits, it is very likely that the above mentioned reasons will no doubt result in some very inferior product coming out of cuba in the near future. so, chances are chuck's new baby won't be getting any new shoes for a while so he can stock up!!!

StogieJim is getting lots of questions. It seems that a couple of people are having a hard time believing that he is experiencing draw problems. While I am not doubting StogieJim, I do want to pipe in and say that CC's are made to very high standards. While Cuba may be a country that struggles with it's standard of living, they do make top quality cigars. They are very well educated and they know what needs to be done to maintain their well earned reputation. There is good reason that CC's are renowned for not just their taste, but also their quality. Since all cigars produced in Cuba are controlled by one parent company, they can insure consistent quality standards across the brands. The same can't be said for all NC's.

BTW, I'm a fan of CC's.

So if I'm following correctly, my entrance into the wonderful world of cigars was perfectly timed so that by the time I found out Cuban's are not impossible to obtain, I'm bitchslapped with the knowledge that there's a good possibility I will never know what a 'good' one tastes like.
Great.

Nah, your timing is great. IMHO, '14 was a banner year. I've had some really great stuff from '14 that is still widely available, and many on other CC forums are saying it's some of the best production in recent years.
