898s are some the best cigars from this brand. Only Lusitanias are a step up

Agree and disagree... 898’s from 20+ years ago are some of the finest cigars available today... judging from the size of this one, it was most likely from an unvarnished box, which are even more rare and has that subtle sweetness that Gary alluded to... jmho

What (and how many?!?) did you pair with that smoke? The departure from your normal grammar indicates it was something good!

I love sponging knowledge from you CigSid and many others on this forum. It would take me a lifetime to learn something like this. Thanks for sharing
