"Clear Havana" today with my coffee...
View attachment 18053

FYI - Clear Havanas were made with Cuban tobacco... They got the name because of the bundles of Cuban tobacco that "cleared" customs. Clear Havanas dominated the premium cigar market in the United States before the U.S. embargo on Cuba. Less expensive than true Havanas, they were made in the United States, most often in Tampa. After the embargo made it impossible to acquire more Cuban tobacco, U.S. companies continued to make clear Havanas with their existing inventories of Cuban leaf. But after a few years, when those stocks dried up, clear Havanas ceased to exist.

So how was it?

Both gifts from @bfreebern , whether he remembers it or not. Many thanks.

I am happy to report the Boris 11 was truly incredible.

Man, I forgot about those Boris 11s. They were "supposedly" a re-release of the AVO 22s.

I don't remember sending you that Prairie Hop, but I hope it was still decent. I'm guessing if I don't remember, it's been quite a long time, so hopefully the hops were still there and it wasn't overly malty.

Can't really see it. But it's a Alex roll. Closed foot. Corona extra.

Gonna be something special with age.

[MNBrian]

Which one did you smoke?

The Siglio VI. Loved every one of them I've had so far.

 

[Pugman1943]

DE L40. What a flavorful smoke.

 

[Napa_Smokes]

HdM DC from the early 90's and a bottle of 2011 Sequoia Grove Single Vineyard Cabernet.

 

[zeemanb]

Punch Ninfa cabinet from around 2000...smokeable as a dowel rod, like 75% of the rest. Shout out to anyone else who ordered "El Dentes" back then.

Mmmmmm! Used to have a box of 1983 ERDM Pantelas Largas. I enjoyed the thin RG on those and really enjoyed every single one of the ones I smoked!! Yours reminded me of them.....
