With the current exchange rate 1.97 GBP to the dollar these would be closer to $120 Most are small cigars, corona...Petit corona.......Also some are from 98 not a good year........Nothing here to write home about........Now if you were talking 1990 to 1995 that would be diferent.....The SCDH was not even around then......just my opinion...Also add in credit card fees

$108.67, no CC fees, and it says SCDH is a 2000 cigar, the VR Familier and Choix supreme are robusto's, no? I like smaller cigars, and MHO it's a good deal for some aged cigars, $11 a piece for that, i'll bite.

I've heard from my foreign friends that cigars from 1998 that were smoking pretty fantastically.

Also, if you click the link you'll see the SCDH is from 2000 and only one cigar is from '98, the rest are from '96. If you're willing to break the law, there's a lot to right home about here.
 
The Point I was really trying to make was that these are just ok smokes compared to 1990 to 1995 smoke.........Yes there are acouple of robustos there..........I have smoked all of the ones mentioned in the years they were made and 8 or 9 with age to .......Nothing to write home about........Sorry guys.........Not saying there bad just not for me.........Ps It is widely known in the industry that 1998-2000 were very poor quality for Cubans
 
 
I agree that comparing '98's to '90-'94's would not be wise.

The inferior years that I have had experience with have been '99-'01.

You're right, Gary. Even though the source posts openly here, we aught not provide fodder for the search engines.

Actually, there isn't a single robusto.

The Picture does not show the Choix Supreme.........The Vegas Famosos is considered a robusto
Click to expand...

The Choix Supreme is not a robusto, it's a Hermoso #4. The cigar in question is not a Famosos, it's a Familiar.

I stand corrected.......I thought I read it was a famosos.......understand though I was not trying for the exact size when mentioning The El Rey........or Choix Supreme....It was in general

I'm surprised that someone didn't point this out earlier, particularly in the new climate of purchasing Habanos.

In my defense, I never put the link the quoted section on my replies.

Sorry guys.

Not '98 ... just '99-'00 has had bigger percentage of troubles. There are still some very good cigars from those periods as well... it's just more of a crap shoot with them.
 
From 1998 thru 2000 The tobacco quality was very poor.....The lack of fertilizer and ligero leaf was a major factor not to mention the extremely poor construction.......Blends were so bad that many brands actualy tasted similar or the same........The blackest ashes I have ever seen on a cuban cigar in 20 years.......The cigar ash color is a direct reflection of tobacco quality..... Black is the poorest quality...........A 2000 cohiba robusto with 6 years of age does not even come close to the 2006 production quality for flavor and constuction.......For example if you aged the 2006 cohiba for 5 years it would blow away the 2000 even with 11 years of age..........In the end "to each his own" if you like the 98-2000 vintage thats great for you..........
 
I will say this. The 1970's Monte No.3 that Tigger provided for a blind review had the whitest, snow white ash (flecked with darker streaks) I've ever seen on a cigar.
