Bill’s best years for Cuban cigars

What a wealth of knowledge, I have so much to learn. Bill and all who contribute to this I thank you.

2020 has been incredible. I believe Bill said that the "bad" cigars can start to be expected with the late 2022/2023 boxes, as everything being released now was already harvested before the hurricanes. IIRC (and I could be way off), the storms will have stripped the soil for the next rotation or two, resulting in sub-par crops. I'll let @CigSid correct me.

You are right on brother!
 
This thread continues to provide some awesome reading/learning. It's funny that only Cuban cigars are studied in such depth, nobody ever talks about the effect that hurricanes will have on non-cigars 2-4 years out.

Thanks Bill @CigSid

This has changed for me recently, after smoking more recent years, from 2008 to 2020....

There have been discussions on the Virtual Herfs, so I will pass them along here.

What about 2021? Specifically AMP box code? Can’t seem to find anything on it anywhere in my search. @CigSid
 
Even though 2006 should be higher and he clearly doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

Lmao...I'm not that high up on 2006 as a whole too. However there are some exceptions found in some boxes from ROA, PLM, POS, STL, OEB. ROA 06 Mag 46 and POS 06 QDO Gran Coronas probably being the highlights for me.

I'll have to keep that in mind! Bill has sweet talked me out of enough of my personal stash 2006 boxes for this month lmao.
