Cool! I didn't think she'd had an issue finding them. She's in Varadero and is returning on Friday. Yay for me!

please dont ask me about conversion to $us...it is a bit convoluted and there is an 11% penalty for being us$.

My Siglo VI's are safely sitting in my humidor now after a long and perilous journey from Cuba to Toronto. They were at my friend's place for the last 2 weeks, but luckily I got her to put them in ziplock bags, and the cigars were in very good shape. I was worried they would be a bit dried out, but they look and smell great. Pictures will follow soon.

Excellent!

Glad to hear they got to you safely. Now that they're in your humi, can I have the glass-topped case they came in ?

 

[Hurricane Ditka]

congrats... i've got 2 sticks left from my last box of Siglo VI's. It is killing me to not smoke them, but i'm staying strong... trying to hold out for a special occasion. This box has lasted me almost a year. I've got a box of LE 2003 Double Coronas on the way, now. This will be my first time trying the DC.

Ha ha ha to the comment about the "glass topped case" they came in. Damn you doubters!

I just got them so I won't even think about lighting one up before next summer. I'll probably try to age then 1 or 2 years before smoking more.

HI Zee,

Nice looking sticks. It's kind of hard to tell from the picture, but do some sticks have 3 rows of dots above the "Cohiba" and some 4 rows? Were they all from the same box of 25?

Hmm, she said they all came from the same box. Now I'm beginning to worry.
