Monte by A J...not a big fan of box pressed, but these are yummy.
Year of the Tiger. I’m pretty sure it’s a new sized Magnum with the regular old blend and a fancy 2nd bling band. 
Best overall line of NCs hands down.
I love my BUG-A-SALT! I use it all the time (unfortunately).
I just smoked a Cohiba Habana Torpedo that had one of the Edicion Limitada bands on it. It was given to me by my son-in-law. Pretty sure it was fake but I didn't him. The band had the cohiba lady misembossed and the cigar wasn't round or box pressed but a kind of bloated triangle. And there was no coating of the inner mouth what that wonderful Cuban earthy taste. Cigar was very spongy. The kid tries so hard but he doesn't smoke. You'd think he'd understand I'm letting him bang daughter. What more does he want?
?
It’s always a tough call wether to tell someone or if you think there is even a need. A cigar brought back from a trip bought especially for you isn’t one I’d educate them on, i thank them for thinking of me and tell them it is an awesome gesture, then i put it down. If they ask why I’m not smoking it right them i say something about it being a special cigar and i want to save it for the right occasion. That usually does the trick and makes them feel even better about it, and that’s a good thing. After that it goes with the other bogus sticks I’ve been given. At some point in the future i will let them know i smoked it and it was sublime.
If there is a risk of this repeating then i will be polite and explain the situation so they don’t waste more money and in the future they are a more informed buyer

Fuente. Other than random construction issues (which are fairly rare for them), I've never had a bad one. Padron, on the other hand, I've had plenty of the Aniversarios and Family Reserve that were great, but others that were dead and tasting like nothing but dried leaves, and that's from the same box. 40th, 45th, and 80th. I don't buy them anymore because I was shooting close to 50/50 on them over the years.
Oh lord, just don't lead with those last 3 sentences. And perhaps the more he wants is a real Cohiba? Also, who is the Cohiba lady? Don't tell me the La Gloria Cubana lady is moonlighting for Cohiba now?I have only had a few Padrons and they were all spot on so I'll consider myself lucky, then again 2 months ago cubans were cheaper than Padrons and Fuentes but now .... not so much.Fuente.
