Fruits of Castro's Soil Pass No.1

[Tall Paul]

 

Alright, Let's give this a try:
 
25. Take - Hoyo de Monterey EL 2007 Regalos TEB SEP 07 -- Put - Hoyo de Monterrey EL 2007 Regalos USE OCT 07 (How's that for even?)

 
Not sure the point on this one.  You're taking an October box code and putting a September box code?
 

 
My guess is he is trying a smoke from a different month to see if there is a difference.

You're going to see it again.  I have one from April 07 that I have been just dying to get rid of

 

[Tall Paul]

Package has landed, safe and sound. 
I'll try to get P/T's up tonight.
 
I would like to hand-deliver this to Charley on Saturday at the herf if possible.

Did this move to Charley yesterday?

 

[emoshun]

Yes, smoked the whole thing at the herf, so generous of you!

The bus boy loved the HDM EL we gave him!

Good to hear... :laugh:

 

[Gavin]

It did indeed. We made an exchange in the parking lot like true criminals.

Well, this one won't make it's way into the Pass... ???
 

 
It got caught in the top magnet of my Aristocrat...

Is the Royal Robusto from the LCDH release in 2011? Have they released more than the initial 5000 boxes in 2011?

Charley way too generous brother. This one is my only concern. 6 year difference on a EL is going to be tough to keep replacing down the line. RA EL still readilly available and the Upmanns not some much so. Limited availability but a bit pricey.

 

[CigSid]

Maybe this can be a good idea, and let this be the "you can try this very special cigar, if you can replace it with the same high quality" part of the trade... It could give everyone a "pass" at one of the great one's...

They must have released more. This is from a fiver I bought and I saw the box code. It was definitely Jun 13.

Yes. Last box I received was ABR 12. Hopefully, this wonderful cigar will become a regular production item.

*EDIT: ^^^ Good to know, Charlie!!

If this is too far off then maybe I can change it. Or.......we can go with Sids suggestion. Whatever the group is more comfortable with.
