I'll gladly post a review in the morning, unless I have time if it doesn't last that long.

I don't think he talking about cigars since he is of Cuban heritage, no?

Congrats Carlos!

Sadly, looks like this review will have to wait.
Grandchildren ended up sleeping over and for numerous health reasons, don't think it's appropriate to light up an awesome 55 yr old pre-embargo Cuban in their presence.
No fears though, it's coming, eventually.

More bad news........
Going on cruise for weekend and just realized, NO SMOKING IN CABIN.
Not even on balcony anymore.
Will have to do it by the pool, in the wind, for all to see.
Hope it's nippy out.

Got to try this out over the weekend.
Quite frankly, with all going on in our lives, hadn't had a chance to smoke a great pre embargo Cuban in peace and quiet in a while.

Pre light:
Exciting just at the thought of it.
Very arousing to the senses.

Overall impression at pre light:
Amazingly well made and for its age, clearly well constructed and still holding its form.

First third:
Initially dry but once moistened and allowed to warm up, true flavors came right through. Started a little rough but quickly became smooth.

Second third and last third:
Went quite fast but enjoyable.

Overall impression:
Would clearly do it again.

That'd be more like a box pass.

Nice... Carlos shares all his Cubans with me so I can't wait to try this vintage...

Hope you get some of that pre-embargo-Cuban soon, Carlos!

At this rate, may have no choice but to resort to getting a handle on it.
