About 2 yrs ago a shop I stop at when in town for work had a 50 ct cabinet of Liga #9 from the original release. I only grabbed a few and have regretted it ever since.

When I opened my Cigar shop at the World Trade Center, I used to fly to Miami and stand on line buying La Gloria Cubana. There was no "LGC Miami" this or that, cause it was all Miami. I'm talking way before the purchase by Swedish Match. Bak then, it was a two bundle limit.

I used to go to the old age home and give every odd their money and go to LGC with 40 people and buy 80 bundles. Ask Ernesto and he will tell you.

Those were some of the best cigars ever made. Wish I had more of the Wavel from 1995/1996.

The finished version. We have been calling it "RetroNail". But I also like Papa Drew since it is my dad.

True dat, JD.
I used to go there in my uniform and wait in line.....Ernesto would sell me 6 bundles at a time because I only came in every six months.....the woman at the counter had to get his permission, otherwise I had to get somone else to buy the extra bundles I needed...there was NO sweet talkin her, not even in my gringo spanish....and they didn't come in boxes then. I'd buy two wavells, two torpedo and two soberanos.....and a bundle of El Rico Habana.....those suckers were strong for the time.....then I would walk down the street and buy a bundle of Moore & Bode Brass Flamboyan...They would last me six months on the ship........ those were the days.

I got 1 bundle of the Tat Mexican experiment. I didn't care for them at first but a few months rest and I wish I had bought more 1 bundle just don't seem like enough. The little Boris was a big mistake on me, I looked at them multiple times decided not to buy. All I can so on those is atleast I havent had one so I don't know what I'm missing. Haha

aren't cromag still in production? very small runs, but i think they are still being made. they are sexy, though. o)

for myself, i really can't make myself sick over the one that got away, as there are too many good smokes out there, and yet to come, and in all honesty i have maybe a few too many already. did promise myself to never pass up mkULTRAs again, then found a box in louisville. so i had to. o)

probably the only other would be the forbidden13. had a box, but it went to better uses, and i did get to smoke one. AND was lucky enought to be gifted another stick later, which will be burned for my 13 wedding anniversary this month. hoping maybe that fuente has a few more to release for the holidays.
