Gavin...I dont like you and your modo de operandi. You have an ax to grind spell it out. You are creating a doubt for those readers that might be on the fence about my cigars and I dont find that your message is in good faith. John

Gavin...you are challenging Frank as to his intent and you involve me. So say what you want to say, dont talk about apples. I don't think Rod likes this sort of thing. John

Gavin...not sure where you are headed with this, I've been around longer than you have at CP. You have a problem with my integrity or Franks say it. No need to beat up people that are feeling good about smoking good cigars at a good price. Kingantz (Greg Lovelace) did cigar reviews of my cigars...

11 million without power, only the Commandantes had the lights on. No restaurants for 36 hours. From what I understand the majority of hotels dont have generators. The shouting matches at the airport on Saturday were out of a movie. My legs look like I got hit with No 7 birdshot from the...

Most of these cigars El Credito, Selectos, El Surco etc are given to Cubans that are 50 years old through the ration card. It's just a few cents for a cigar but they only get 4 per month. Mostly they are machine made with short filler. These were available in bodegas pre-covid but now they are...

The MJ's that I saw were in a box with the MJ 23 on it. They were cut to fit inside the box, so the uncut foot versions you see in the images are likely second versions. There is a mold for these cigars at EL. I do not believe he rolled them or any other cigars of his fame like the Puntilla, he...

Delta is back in with 2 flights from Miami to Havana. Southwest will be dropping out of Ft Lauderdale in June 4, 2024 but will still have the Tampa flights. John

It has been said in a few web sites that Min Ron Nee has passed on to the big cigar world in the sky. No official obits as that was his pseudonym/alias. The dude abides. John

Andullo was introduced by the Spaniards initially for harvesting. The andullo was tied at both ends for field workers and slung across their backs. This would allow them to freely work the crops with both hands and store what they picked. It's use goes back as far as Greek/Roman mythology. The...

I bought a Glock 44 (22 LR) for my son and it struggled with Remington, Winchester, Federal. Used CCI Mini Mags and it was better but still couldn't consistently shoot all of the rounds in the magazine. I got rid of it and got a Taurus TX-22 as it was the handgun of the year. Much better, but...

Post them at Friends of Habanos, you'll probably have better luck there. John

Several press releases have stated that the above airlines will stop flights to Cuba in the next month or so. The remaining players will be Southwest (Ft Lauderdale, Tampa), American (Miami) and one Houston flight (United). NY will have no flights. I saw this coming as planes were going down...

Stupid question for ya'll. Of the packages offered for the NFL games this year which one do you like best? I'm not a better and am not looking into in depth analysis. Just want to watch the games live and replays. Thanks for any advice, John

Frank does a nice review and you thread jack it with your personal agenda. That's not being rude at all. John

Frank...you said it all. Civilized conversation. Wow. John

Another Jedi-mind-trick in order to justify the containers of factory leaf being shipped out of Mariel for Chinese investment. John

It was a dud. No aromas. Very strong alcohol/malt liquor flavor, carbonation was lessened but acceptable. No coffee, nut, chocolate, fruit flavors at all. Its a shame as I have had Jewbalation several times and they were outstanding. Glad I didn't clear the shelf. The beaker is about 30 years...

In the back room of a small liquor store I found quite a few Schmaltz Jewbalation 20 (2016) bottles covered in dust and cobwebs. Only bought one as at the moment I didnt realize it was a 2016 until I got home. What should I expect? John

A side note on the Ligero. Not all cigars use Ligero in traditional formulas for the different vitolas. For example a Siglo VI calls for 1/2 leaf of Ligero, if you put that same 1/2 leaf in a Lancero it will just burn your throat. John
